💭🔄 If your mind never shuts off, you can never really relax.
Identifying your bucket is the simplest way to retrain your system to feel safe in the current moment… and finally feel present.
But if that doesn’t resonate, here are some more options to help your brain land in the moment:
1️⃣ Name the mode you’re in.
CEO mode. Parent mode. Rest mode.
Give your brain context so it stops scanning.
2️⃣ Close your loops.
Before switching roles, jot down anything unfinished. I personally go by..if it takes under 5 minutes just get it done. Your mind relaxes when it knows nothing will be forgotten.
3️⃣ Anchor into the outcome.
Ask: “What is this moment building toward?”
Connection, freedom, energy… your brain commits when it sees the ROI.
4️⃣ Ask what would make today feel complete.
Not perfect. Complete.
It pulls you out of the “never enough” loop.
Small shifts, big impact.
