This is a common problem where we all feel depleted and even slightly resentful if stretched. “I am peopled out,” said someone. For the most part, I hope that you are excited about doing things. I had to talk about it a lot as it is trending in Chicago’s overcommitted summer months. Too many concerts, parties, and gatherings, not to mention work or taking care of kids, can drain you after a while. It is time to pull together a few tips to rest and recover.
Things to Usher In:
1. A couple of days to recharge. Go under the radar to rest. Take some time off.
2. Alone time: Get yourself out to get a coffee, go on long solo walk to reflect, no “on” behavior,
3. Lie like a rag dog relaxing, space out, a type of mindfulness twice a day, breath two minutes thrice a day.
4. Reset your routine, draw up a vision board to recalibrate. get the foundation of sleep to re-charge, eat to be strong (I heard there is fast food and Soda sobriety app), and move to get good vibration (Oxygen to the brain). ‘Do you.’
5. Read and escape (And grow through learning about so many things, there are great Podcasts).
6. Sit side by side with your loved one in silence. Don’t underestimate this showing up to be together. Imagine quietly reading a newspaper together.
7. Pleasant activities moving slowly versus hyperactive parties.
8. Connect with that best friend. Or someone that always lifts you up.
Things to Get Out of Your Way:
1. For those of you who overthink, why give a chance to be too close to someone and let them patronize you with unsolicited advice? Not everyone is as wise as you and know all of you. Maybe they think they are helping. In the end, you may complicate your life as you over-interpret it all. So, some distance is always better.
2. Preserve yourself by not giving endlessly. There is only so much of you.
3. Remove extra obligations and dates to declutter the calendar. Get over FOMO.
