The latest BYOM Dispatch went to subscribers yesterday. In it, I discuss the difference between needing rest - and needing help, and a little bit about how it played out in my journey.

The BYOM Dispatch is free to subscribe on the BYOM website.

This is the actual reset plan.

A reset or even a rest is not a reward for crashing.

It is maintenance for being a person.

When you feel scattered or stuck in your head — this one is for you.

The Come Back to My Body ritual is on the BYOM website. It's for the days when you're everywhere except present. When you've been living from the neck up for too long.

It can last 60 seconds or Five minutes. Your feet on the floor. Your breath in your body. Your awareness of what's happening around you. That's it.

Free at beyourownmagic.com under Quiet Favorites. No email required.

What does it feel like when you're disconnected from your body — and what brings you back?

Every September, a tiny part of me assumes I am supposed to become someone who consistently does breathing exercises, prepares for meals, owns several matching containers, and never misses a workout.

I have met that version of me exactly zero times.

What I actually want is less dramatic than a fresh start. I want to stop acting like I have failed because my real life does not look like the imaginary life I make up when the season changes.

I do not need to get "back on track." Some of those tracks were exhausting.

The more I go through this chapter of my life, the more I realize that all I really want is a life I can return to. Even when it is messy, I'm exhausted, I can't organize my day for anything, and the dog is pi***ng on the floor.

That feels like a better September goal.

What are you refusing to turn into a self-improvement project this month?

A reset for the moment before you walk into the thing you do not feel ready for:

Stop for ten seconds.

Name one true thing: "I am nervous." "I am tired." "I do not know what I am doing."

Put both feet on the floor.

Ask: "What is the next kind thing I can do for myself?"

Then go in anyway.

Not because you suddenly became fearless. Because you gave yourself somewhere to stand.

QUESTION:
What is a situation you routinely have to talk yourself into walking toward?

You do not need a new personality because the calendar changed. You might just need a real reset - or some lucky s**t ☘️

New month. Same internal board meeting. 😎

There's a lot of advice everywhere. Question everything.

Even me - especially me. I'm just someone going through it all trying to be real about what I learn along the way and hoping others share their insights with me.

But I'm here on earth for the first time, just like you (maybe?? who knows).
