Feel Grounded & Recharged this Year

by Nadia Ali January 24, 2025

Life gets busy, doesn’t it? Between work, family, and everything else on your plate, it’s easy to feel like there’s never enough time for yourself. But here’s the thing—even small changes can make a huge difference in how you feel, both inside and out. Let me share five simple, practical ways to help you recharge and find your balance this year.

1. Start Your Day with Intent 🌞

Before you grab your phone or dive into your to-do list, take a few minutes to center yourself. Whether it’s through meditation, journaling, or setting a simple intention like “I will stay present today,” those first moments can set the tone for your whole day.

2. Fuel Your Body with Purpose 🥗

What you eat affects how you feel. Aim for meals that are protein-rich, balanced with complex carbohydrates and healthy fats. Blending fruit, like in smoothies, can increase the glycemic response and spike blood sugar. Instead, try a protein-rich meal or consider fasting, both of which can positively impact your metabolic health. Choose what works best for your lifestyle.

If you're not sure where to start, Lumen can guide you by analyzing your unique breath signature and telling you exactly when and what to fuel your body with for success and optimal health.

Pro tip: Not everyone has time to meal prep, but keeping options on hand that don’t require any prep is the real pro approach. Think pre-cut veggie sticks, cherry tomatoes, boiled eggs, apples, bananas, oranges, etc— pre-portioned and individually wrapped by nature! 😍

3. Move in a Way That Feels Good 🏃‍♀️

Exercise doesn’t have to mean hours at the gym. Find something that feels fun—dancing, walking, yoga, or even playing with your kids or pets. Consistent movement is key, but it’s even more important to find joy in the process.

4. Create Space for Rest 😴

Sleep is the ultimate reset button, but quality matters as much as quantity. Set up a calming bedtime routine: dim the lights, put your phone away at least an hour before bed, and try incorporating deep breathing or a cup of herbal tea to wind down.

Pro tip: Instead of grounding sheets, I use Mystech. It’s an easy way to stay balanced day and night without any extra hassle. Plus, it works 24/7 to help you feel more rested and recharged⚡

5. Stay Hydrated and Breathe Deeply 💧

It sounds simple, but it’s often overlooked. Dehydration can lead to fatigue and foggy thinking. Keep water on hand throughout the day, and don’t forget to breathe deeply—even a few intentional breaths can help you refocus and reenergize.

These aren’t revolutionary ideas, but they’re powerful because they’re doable and highly effective. Start with one tip, see how it feels, and build from there. This year is about small, sustainable steps that lead to big changes.
