As of today, there are 8.2 million people roaming the earth. Out of those 8.2, there are different brain waves equatorially revolving around self preservation.
How do I manage to juggle a nutritious, healthy lifestyle?
How come my hips don’t move like Shakiras?
All encompassing, what are ways I can be a 2.0 from yesterdays 1.0?
Easing your mind doesn’t always mean sunrise yoga. But if that’s what calms your mind, no one is stopping you yoggie!
All you need is to take 10 steps back, breath, and drop your IPhone off inside while you enjoy your backyard.
Sit in Silence for at Least 10 minutes
Pick your favorite spot around your home and just sit. Take a moment to reflect on how blessed you are to be within four walls. The fact that you’re reading this on a device with internet access should humble you.
What is it about our day that makes us overthink?
Is it our 9–5 that we end up taking home with us? Financial stress? Relationship patterns?
Sometimes your cup feels half full because your daily routine drags on until it feels like… well, a loop. Monotonous, uninspired, exhausting.
So reflect. Be so for real with yourself. Ponder, acknowledge, and breathe through it.
Go Outside Without your Phone
We carry our big black rectangles everywhere. When did it become mandatory to respond to a text the moment it comes in? If you’re replying to an email within 15 minutes of receiving it, maybe it’s time for a hard reset.
We even go so far as to sleep with our phones under our pillows. Every buzz feels urgent. This constant loop of checking for dopamine-driven likes and notifications? That’s what spikes our anxiety.
Here’s a challenge: Go out on your balcony or sit in your yard—and leave your phone in the kitchen.
Feel the discomfort. That’s separation anxiety we’ve blindly adapted to. Let’s reclaim that hand for a cup of coffee, not a device.
Breathing Exercises
A study from Stanford Medicine states that “a daily 5-minute cyclic sighing routine has promise as an effective stress management exercise.”
We’ve all heard the phrase: just breathe.
But what if we made it a habit—something we do on our morning commute, or right before a big presentation?
Intentional breathing doesn’t just help you calm down—it helps you show up.
Easing your mind isn’t about perfection. It’s about presence. And that starts with the little things—breathing, stepping outside, and letting yourself be for a moment. You deserve that peace.
