Life moves fast. From business deadlines to family responsibilities, social media notifications to unexpected challenges, our minds get overloaded—quickly. If you’ve been feeling mentally drained, overwhelmed, or stuck in a cycle of stress, it’s time to hit RESET.

A reset isn’t just about taking a break. It’s an intentional process of clearing your mind, refreshing your energy, and realigning with what truly matters.

How to Reset: Step by Step

1️⃣ Step Away and Breathe
When stress builds up, your body and mind send signals—tension in your shoulders, scattered thoughts, short temper. The first step to resetting is PAUSING.

✔ Step outside for fresh air.
✔ Close your eyes and take five deep breaths.
✔ Stretch your body—shake off the stress.
✔ Silence your notifications for at least 30 minutes.

→ Why it works: Your nervous system needs a moment to recalibrate. By intentionally slowing down, you create space for clarity.

2️⃣ Brain Dump: Clear the Mental Clutter
Too many thoughts create chaos. Reset by writing everything down. This technique, called brain dumping, helps you empty your mind and release stress.

📝 Grab a notebook (or My Business Planner!) and write down:

What’s on your mind right now?
What’s stressing you out?
What’s been inspiring you?
No need for structure—just write freely. Let it all out.

→ Why it works: Writing helps you process emotions, organize thoughts, and make sense of what’s overwhelming you.

3️⃣ Reconnect with Your Why
Sometimes, we feel lost because we’re disconnected from our purpose. Resetting means realigning with what truly matters to you.

💡 Ask yourself:
What is my BIG goal right now?

Why did I start this business/career path?
Am I focusing on things that bring me joy and growth?
Write your answers in your journal. Clarity begins when you remember your why.

4️⃣ Digital Detox & Social Media Reset
Our minds weren’t designed to absorb endless notifications, trends, and opinions. Part of resetting is filtering what you allow into your mental space.

📵 Try a digital detox for at least one hour:
✔ Unplug from social media.
✔ Log out of work emails.
✔ Limit exposure to negative news.

→ Why it works: Your brain gets overstimulated from constant scrolling. A break helps reduce anxiety, improve focus, and boost creativity.

5️⃣ Move Your Body
One of the easiest ways to reset your mind? Move!

After the heavy rainstorm in Accra on Monday night, I woke up on Tuesday morning and felt the urge to move. The cool breeze, the scent of wet earth, and the fresh air called me outside. So, I laced up my sneakers and went for a long, slow jog.

As I ran, I felt the weight of my stress lift. The movement, the deep breathing, the rhythm of my steps—it was like my mind was clearing itself with every stride.

Try this:
Take a 10-minute walk.
Stretch or do a quick dance workout.
Practice deep breathing or yoga.

→ Why it works: Movement releases tension, improves circulation, and boosts mental clarity.
