This #thankyouthursday, I am grateful for resets.
Specifically, I am grateful for the course of oral steroids I was prescribed this week for a severe eczema flare-up. The telehealth doctor advised that ultimately I needed to assess my stress levels, diet, allergen exposures, etc.—but first I needed the steroid treatment, to get the immediate situation under control. “A reset.”
Another reset I recently experienced was clearing out my email inbox. A month ago I had like 6,000 messages, and a couple weeks ago I got it down to zero(!!), and since then I’ve been able to keep it around 15-20(!). I’ve been working on unsubscribes and exploring routines to stay on top of what I actually want to see, but first I needed to just plain clear the space. A reset.
I love that there are so many ways to reset, and I especially love that we can choose a reset at any time. My mother once told me you can start a diet in the middle of a sandwich. And while I don’t agree with diet culture, the point stands. Change is always possible.
Is there a reset you’d like to try today?
Love > fear,

I need this reset badly- especially with heaps of 'stuff' in my house! I'm so glad you got your medication to help reset your medical condition.
I like your mom's idea for when to start a diet, especially linked to your own comment that we can use this method for any kind of needed reset!
