Mondays can feel like a wall. Especially when your to-do list is longer than your weekend recovery time. But here’s a wellness truth: you don’t need 30 minutes to reset your nervous system; you need 3. 

Here are three quick and realistic ways to reset your mind and body when Monday hits hard: 

💨 1. 3 Deep Breaths + a Touchstone Word Close your eyes. Inhale deeply through your nose. Exhale slowly through your mouth. Do this three times. While breathing, anchor your thoughts with a word—peace, power, or patience. You choose. 💎 Want to take this deeper? Wear your anchor word daily. My engraved “Just Breathe” necklace is a favorite among customers who use jewelry as a grounding tool. It’s not just pretty—it’s purposeful. 

📿 2. Reset Your Shoulders (and the Energy You’re Carrying) Roll your shoulders forward 10 times, then back 10 times. Now lower them, take another breath, and remind yourself: “I am safe in this moment.” 

🕯 3. Light + Intention Light a candle or turn on a diffuser, but set an intention before you do: “This flame represents my calm focus.” Or “This scent invites peace into my space.” It’s woo-woo only if you don’t believe it’s helping. Remember: your wellness doesn’t have to look like anyone else’s. Keep it small, sacred, and yours.

🧘 Bonus Tip: Want to carry your calm with you all day? Try stacking a few engraved mantra bracelets with affirmations like “Breathe,” “Be Present,” or “Stillness.” Every time you glance at your wrist, it’s a cue to reset.
