We’ve all had those moments where we feel like we’re firing on all cylinders—whether it’s a fun social event, a creative burst, or just a busy day that leaves us feeling alive. But for those of us with heightened sensitivities or post-viral fatigue, that high often comes with a crash that’s hard to avoid. We end up feeling wired, restless, and just… out of sync.
It’s like having a “check engine light” that’s either missing or malfunctioning in our brain. We push through, we thrive, but then the energy runs dry, and we’re left wondering how to recalibrate without feeling like we’ve done something wrong.
Well, I’m here to share the method I’ve been perfecting over time: Pre-Grounding and how I recover post-event without beating myself up. These little techniques have made a world of difference, and I hope they can help you too.
The Power of Pre-Grounding: Setting the Stage for Success
Before diving into any event—whether it’s a social gathering, a day of shooting content, or a busy work session—I’ve learned to “pre-ground.” What does that mean? It’s about intentionally connecting with the earth and my own energy before stepping into high-energy situations.
I take a moment to breathe deeply, get outside if possible, and reconnect with the earth beneath my feet. It’s like I’m fortifying myself, aligning my energy so that when I dive into the event, I’m not starting from a place of overstimulation. This small but powerful practice makes it easier to stay balanced and grounded as things unfold.
The Post-Event Cooldown: Letting My Body Do Its Thing
The real magic, however, happens after the event. If you’ve been around here for a while, you know that I’m all about not stressing myself out when my body starts to crash. Rather than rushing to get back to “normal” or beating myself up for needing a break, I’ve embraced the art of letting it be.
Instead of forcing myself to jump back into productivity or overthinking my exhaustion, I simply let my body cool off. If that means taking a nap, going to bed a little later, or even just giving myself a few hours of quiet, so be it. I’ve realized that rushing the process just makes me feel worse. Allowing myself the space to rest as long as it takes has been a game-changer. It’s about honoring what my body needs in that moment, not pushing through for the sake of a schedule.
No Guilt, No Pressure: Trusting the Process
The key to all of this is not stressing out about the recovery process. If I feel tired, I let myself be tired. If I need more time to rest, I give myself that. The whole idea is to give my body what it needs without guilt, without fear that I’m “falling behind,” or that I’m somehow failing. Instead of fighting the crash, I lean into it. I trust that my body is doing exactly what it needs to do.
By pre-grounding before high-energy events and giving myself the time to cool off after, I’ve learned how to handle the ups and downs with grace. And it’s made a world of difference in how I show up for myself.
