3 Signs You Need a Reset (And Where to Start)
Ever feel like life is just… too much? Like you're constantly running, but never quite arriving? If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck, it might be time for a reset.
Here are 3 signs you're due for a reset—and a few simple steps to get started:
1. You feel mentally cluttered—even when nothing's technically wrong.
Your calendar might be full, your house might be clean(ish), and your relationships may look fine on the outside. But inside, your thoughts are tangled, your energy is low, and your mind never feels quiet. This kind of invisible clutter builds slowly—and it often goes unnoticed until you're emotionally exhausted.
Where to start:
Grab a journal and write down everything that’s swirling in your mind. Appointments, worries, to-dos, decisions, questions. Get it out of your head and onto paper. Sometimes the simple act of naming what’s weighing on you is the beginning of release.
2. You keep doing things that no longer serve you.
You say yes to things you’ve outgrown. You keep up traditions or routines that drain you—because that’s what you’ve always done. You might even feel guilty for wanting to change… but deep down, you know something’s off.
Where to start:
Ask yourself: “What am I doing out of obligation that I’m no longer called to?” Then ask: “What actually brings me peace?” These two questions can gently reveal what needs to be edited in your life.
3. You're overwhelmed by the idea of making a change.
When life feels loud and cluttered, even small changes can feel huge. So you freeze. You wait. You tell yourself you’ll figure it out later. But later never comes—and the heaviness lingers.
Where to start:
You don’t need a total life overhaul. Just a tiny step. Choose one area: your mornings, your phone habits, your closet, your weekends. Start small. Clear space. Make room. You don’t need to do it all at once—you just need to begin.
You don’t need a new life.
You need a clearer one.
Less noise. More peace.
That’s the power of a reset.
