Let your mind wander in peace. 15CREATE A “DONE” LIST Celebrate what you’ve achieved each day, even if it’s small. It shifts you from lack to gratitude. 16PROTECT YOUR CALENDAR LIKE A BOUNDARY Block time for you first – work, family, and others can fit around that. 17TURN “BUSY” INTO “INTENTIONAL” Instead of “I’m so busy,” try “I’m choosing where my energy goes.” This reframes and empowers. 18VISUALISE YOUR IDEAL WEEK Get clear on what balance and spaciousness really look like for you, then work backwards to build it in. 19USE E.F.T TO RELEASE PRESSURE Tap through the “I have too much to do” feeling and create more ease in your body and mind. 20REMEMBER: REST IS PRODUCTIVE Pausing isn’t lazy, it’s powerful. You can’t pour from an empty cup, so top yourself up often. unsplash.com@anthonytran Jo Irving WELLNESS 83
