2. How to Exercise Resiliency When You’re Feeling Depleted
- Physical Resilience: When you’re physically depleted, prioritize rest and recovery through nourishing foods, gentle movement, and hydration. Listen to your body and give yourself grace.
- Emotional Resilience: Lean on your support network, set boundaries to protect your energy, and practice gratitude to shift focus from stress to positivity.
- Spiritual Resilience: Reconnect with your purpose, engage in quiet reflection or meditation, and take time for spiritual readings or nature walks to restore balance.
- Small Steps and Self-Compassion: Break down tasks into smaller actions and celebrate each win. Remember that resilience is built in the smallest moments of recovery and reflection.
3. Lesser-Known Strategies for Building Resilience
- Adaptogenic Herbs: Incorporate teas or supplements like ashwagandha, rhodiola, and reishi mushroom tea to reduce stress and promote relaxation.
- Nutrient-Rich Foods: Magnesium-rich foods like pumpkin seeds and spinach, or superfoods like moringa, help replenish physical energy and reduce stress.
- Avoiding Troublemaking Foods: Stay away from ultra-processed fats, artificial sweeteners, MSG, and excess caffeine, which can contribute to brain fog and anxiety.
- Simple, Mundane Tasks: Completing small household chores like folding laundry, cleaning a closet, making your bed, or washing dishes can give you a sense of control and mental clarity.
- Sensory Grounding: Engage in sensory activities like aromatherapy, water therapy, or gardening to reduce stress and reconnect with your surroundings.
