Lets start fresh: Simple ways to reset and feel your best this summer

Simple Ways to Reset & Feel Your Best This Summer

We all know January can be a bit of a false start. The holidays roll into school break, routines go out the window, and just as you think you’re getting back on track… boom. Something throws you off again.

But February? February is where we hit reset.

If you’re feeling sluggish, unmotivated, or just out of rhythm, don’t worry—you’re not alone. And the good news? You don’t need a total life overhaul. Just a few small, realistic shifts can help you feel lighter, stronger, and more energized. Here’s where to start:

1. Move Daily (Even When You Don’t Feel Like It)

Summer schedules can be unpredictable, and long, sweaty days don’t always scream “let’s work out!” But movement doesn’t have to be all or nothing. Short, effective sessions count.

💡 Try this: Swap the “I’ll do it later” mindset for “I’ll do 10 minutes now.” A quick yoga flow, Pilates core session, or barre-inspired leg burn is all it takes to reset your energy. (Psst… if you’re in the movement membership, pick a class under 20 minutes and just start!)

👉 Action step: Schedule your workouts like an appointment. Even 3-4 short sessions a week can make a difference in how you feel.

2. Hydrate Like You Mean It

Dehydration sneaks up fast in the summer. If you’re feeling sluggish, foggy, or constantly craving snacks, you might just need water.

💡 Try this: Start your morning with a full glass of water before coffee and keep a bottle handy throughout the day. Bonus points for adding electrolytes if you’ve been sweating a lot.

👉 Action step: Set a reminder on your phone or pair hydration with another habit (like sipping water while scrolling or before meals).

💗 What I’m loving RN: The Beauty Chef product called HYDRATE. It’s in liquid form and can be added to your morning greens or later in the day to some soda water and a squirt of lemon. Amazing for hydration and gut health. Get 20% off for a limited time here

3. Eat for Energy (Without Overcomplicating It)

Summer meals don’t have to be perfect—just simple and nourishing.

💡 Try this: Instead of a complete diet reset, add one nutrient-dense swap per meal. Think:
✔ Fresh fruit & yogurt instead of sugary snacks
✔ Grilled protein & greens instead of heavy, fried meals
✔ Smoothies & salads for quick, easy nutrition

👉 Action step: Plan 3 go-to meals that you love and feel good eating—so when life gets busy, you don’t have to think twice.

4. Prioritise Rest (Yes, Even in Summer)

Late nights, social events, and extra sunshine are great—but if you’re feeling drained, it’s time to recharge.

💡 Try this: Set a wind-down routine—even just 10 minutes of no screens before bed or a few deep breaths can improve sleep quality. And don’t forget: Naps are self-care.

👉 Action step: Choose one small change to support your sleep—earlier bedtime, a darker room, or winding down with a short stretch or meditation (membership members, check out the Relax & Restore classes!).

5. Let Go of the “All or Nothing” Mindset

This is the big one. You don’t have to wait for the perfect schedule, perfect motivation, or perfect moment to start fresh. Just start. Small, messy, and imperfect is better than nothing.

💡 Try this: Pick one thing from this list and do it today. Not Monday. Not next week. Right now.
