I have come to learn that energetic hygiene is so important for our day to day wellbeing.
During one day you can be involved in difficult conversations, you may have had a number of interactions that included previous memories, or thinking about something from a different person’s perspective. You may have been triggered or dealt with your boundaries being pushed! And then it could be lunch time 😂
Some of the steps I take during a day help me come back to myself and make sure I am not being negatively affected by those around me…
- Energetic cleanse your space. You can use sage, incense, palo santo, or even a favourite essential oil. I have a few sprays I love.
- Another option is the Donna Eden energetic routine. I found this is a great way to help when I feel scattered or have spent too much time on a computer doing 50 different things!
3. Another great way to come back to me is with a bath. Epsom salts and bicarb is a great way to cleanse your energetic system. Also I do love a body scrub, body mitt or even using the towel a bit rougher on my skin to do a deeper cleanse of my energetic space.
4. Mindfulness is a great way to come back to you. This is about coming into the present without any sense of achieve or succeed. It could be as simple as having a cup of tea and enjoying each sip being aware of your sense as you enjoy your tea. One of my other faves is painting or drawing something around me. I find my mind comes to this beautiful relaxed space where I do not need to push or achieve.
5. When I have a lot of emotions bubbling up, I find either journalling can help or a friend who will help me speak them out without trying to fix them. It really helps to make sure these emotions are seen and understood instead of swallowing or pushing them away.
These are some of my fave ways to come back to me. I would love to hear other ways that help! Feel free to share your preferred ways here!
