Rebuilding Your Reserves
WHEN:
The moment you usually start scrolling, trying to power through tiredness, or just collapsing onto the sofa.
ACTION:
Choose one evening ritual this week that helps your body slow down and signals to your system: “We’re done for the day.”
Try:
➢ Changing into loungewear earlier even if you still have things to do
➢ Putting your phone out of reach 30 minutes before bed
➢ Using a wind-down alarm (sound or visual) to mark “time to close”
➢ Stretching or doing breathwork for 3-5 minutes before lying down.
➢ Moving your next-day to-do list out of your head and onto a note

WHY THIS MATTERS:
When your nervous system doesn’t get a clear “off” signal, it stays wired even when your body feels tired. A consistent, calming cue tells your brain it’s safe to let go. That’s where true recovery begins.
Light Structure for This Week:
Pick one cue that signals the day is done. Repeat it 2 to 3 times this week to start rebuilding your wind-down routine.
