10 minute refresh and reset

Because some mornings just don’t go to plan…

We’ve all been there: the coffee spills, the kids are melting down, your to-do list is already shouting before you’ve even had breakfast. When the chaos is loud, sometimes the kindest thing you can do is press pause and reset.

Here’s a tiny ritual you can try next time your day goes sideways:

1. Step Away

Literally move rooms, even if it’s just from the kitchen to the hallway. Changing your scenery interrupts the overwhelm.

2. Breathe

Set a timer for 1–2 minutes. Close your eyes and take slow, deep breaths: in for 4, hold for 4, out for 6. Imagine you’re breathing out the chaos.

3. Reset Your Senses

• Splash cold water on your face or wrists.
• Light a candle or open a window.
• Put on a song that lifts your mood.
  Engaging your senses helps your nervous system come back down.

4. Choose One Small Win

Forget the whole list. Pick just one tiny thing you can do — make the bed, load the dishwasher, drink a glass of water. That one win creates momentum.

5. Re-enter with Kindness

When you step back into the day, remind yourself: “I’m doing enough. I don’t need to do it all right now.”

✨ This isn’t about fixing everything. It’s about giving yourself a reset button when the chaos starts to win.
