Today I am getting real with y'all about those seasons when productivity just isn't happening the way we want it to. I shared my own experience this past week of needing to reset after traveling + 3 unexpected snow days for the kids and how it affected my routines, energy, and mindset.
What I want you to remember:
- There's a big difference between being a productive person and trying to be productive every single moment
- We need to understand the difference between needed rest and "the bread of idleness"
- When one habit slips (usually sleep or nutrition for me), it can create a domino effect
- It's so important to recognize when we need a reset and not beat ourselves up about it
Here are the strategies I've learned for resetting:
1. Pay attention to early warning signs:
- Physical symptoms (fatigue, digestive issues)
- Mental fog
- Emotional sensitivity
- Increased mom guilt
2. Focus on the foundation first:
- Start with sleep (nothing works well without this!)
- Get back to basics with nutrition
- Include gentle movement like walking
- Make time for prayer and Bible reading
3. Get perspective from people who know you well
4. Trust God's timing and remember - this is His work, not just yours
Something that's really helped me when I need a complete reset, especially with nutrition, is doing a structured 3-day Reset that helps clear the mental fog and restore my energy. See what that's all about here!

Biblical truth I'm holding onto: "My yoke is easy and my burden is light." When everything feels too heavy, it's usually because I'm striving in my own strength instead of abiding in His. 🤍
Remember mama - productivity isn't about perfection, it's about faithfulness. You're doing better than you feel like you are. ♥️
