Dopamine crashes are something I’ve personally experienced, and it’s like riding a high of energy, only to be left feeling exhausted and wired at the same time. I’ve learned that these crashes happen when my brain burns through its dopamine reserves, leaving me mentally overstimulated while my body craves rest. To manage this, I pre-ground myself before events, let my body cool off afterward, and most importantly—let go of guilt. Over time, I’ve discovered that embracing the process, trusting my body, and allowing myself time to recharge has been the key to managing these energy rollercoasters.

How I Pre-Ground and Recover Like a Pro: The Art of Honoring Your Body’s Rhythm
Managing energy when you’re sensitive or dealing with post-viral fatigue can feel like a balancing act. That’s why I’ve developed a technique I call “pre-grounding” to prepare myself before high-energy events and a no-guilt cooldown afterward. Pre-grounding involves connecting with the earth and centering my energy before diving into any activity. Afterward, I honor my body’s need for rest without rushing or stressing about it. It’s about listening to my body, trusting the process, and giving myself the time I need to recharge—guilt-free. This has been a game-changer for maintaining balance and avoiding those dreaded crashes.
The Healing Power of Bracelet-Making: Why It’s So Calming for the Brain
Bracelet-making is more than just a creative hobby—it’s a soothing practice for the brain. The repetitive motions and tactile engagement trigger the relaxation response, shifting your body from stress mode to calm. This rhythmic activity also induces a flow state, where you’re deeply immersed in the present moment. Additionally, working with your hands activates the sensory areas of your brain, grounding you and promoting emotional clarity. Whether you’re choosing beads with intention or simply enjoying the process, bracelet-making offers a peaceful escape that nurtures both your creativity and your well-being. It’s a perfect form of self-care.
