The Power of Reset~Simple Truths to Realign When Life Gets Messy E31

“Sometimes the biggest breakthroughs come after the bravest resets.”

Life gets messy. Routines slip, energy scatters, confidence wobbles. But here’s the truth—resetting isn’t starting over,

it’s shifting your frequency back into alignment.

After celebrating 30 episodes of my podcast Sip Tea with Me, I knew the next step had to be practical. Inspiration is beautiful, but I also want to give you the “how.” This blog is your Reset Toolkit—simple, everyday practices to help you realign when life feels overwhelming

My Biggest Reset Story 🌊

One of the biggest resets of my life came after a 20+ year career in special events. I had just wrapped a highly lucrative three-week project, poured everything I had into it, and a few days later I was let go.

Why? My new sales manager couldn’t handle that I was making more money than she was. Even the CFO asked me, “How could this happen?” I said, “Ask the sales manager.”

I was the top-earning rep. I had brought my client base with me. And yet, I felt betrayed, used, drained, and defeated. I was angry—at the industry, at the imbalance of power, and at myself for giving so much to a company that didn’t value me.

I could have gone to any competitor (and they all wanted me). But I was DONE making money for others. So I did something counterintuitive: I booked a trip to Mexico.

I laid on the beach. I went to yoga. I spent time with friends. And, of course, I journaled—because writing has always been how I move thoughts out of the spin cycle in my head and onto paper.

And then something shifted. A colleague-turned-friend reached out—we were both in the same boat, ready for change. Together, we created a way to serve our clients on our own terms, making more money in less time.

That’s the power of reset. A betrayal became a breakthrough. A failure became an opportunity to align. Resets can feel scary, but they can also open doors you never imagined.

The Reset Toolkit ✨

Here are 5 simple tools you can use anytime you need to pause and realign:

1. Breath Reset 🌬️

   • Try the 4-4-4: Inhale for 4, hold for 4, exhale for 4.

   • It calms your nervous system and shifts your state quickly.

2. Movement Reset 🧘‍♀️

   • Shake it out, stretch, or walk outside for 5 minutes.

   • Movement clears stagnant energy and gets you back into flow.

3. Sound Reset 🔔

   • Hum, chant, or use a singing bowl or chime.

   • Sound vibrations instantly realign your energy.

4. Nutrition Reset 🥗

   • Hydrate. Then swap one draining food for something nourishing and alive.

   • Small changes = big clarity.

5. Mind Reset ✍️

   • Do a 10-minute journal dump. Let it all spill out onto the page.

   • End with one line of gratitude or intention: “I choose to reset with clarity.”

👉 Remember: You don’t need a whole new life to reset. You just need a few minutes and the right tool for the moment.

Closing Thoughts 🌟

Resetting isn’t failure—it’s feedback. It’s a chance to pause, breathe, and choose alignment again. Whether it’s a career, a relationship, or your own self-care, resets open the door to clarity and transformation.
