🦃 Holiday season = Pressure season 👏
Deadlines. Practices. Midterms/Finals. Games. Expectations. Family.
We tend to go and go and go and forget that our brain and body still need air.
Think about it like swimming underwater — you can only hold your breath for so long before you need oxygen. If you don’t take at least one breath, you won’t reach the wall/the end, the way you want.
Research shows nervous energy (or feeling overwhelmed) doesn’t have to drain you and can be channeled into planning and preparing to focus and enhance performance, instead of anxiety.
Here are 3 ways to use nervous energy in your favor:
✅ Move your body for 3–5 minutes (walk, stretch, jumping, pushups)
✅ Do small self-care resets daily (prioritize hydration, tidy your space, choose to not stay out as long, slow deep breaths, give yourself 2 min of quiet and breathing)
✅ Create a simple “reset menu” list, so you know what to do when stress hits.
Your energy isn’t the enemy. How you use it is the advantage.
