Everything you need to focus, reset and get your life together
All the best bits to kick start new habits and make life easier
words Sophie Lou Wilson
When you’re burned out, it’s important to listen to your body and take a break. Learning to chill and do nothing sometimes is a necessary skill, so is taking the time afterwards to refocus and reset.
Finding the motivation to do so can be a struggle. Perhaps the tasks in front of you feel overwhelming enough to send you into another burnout spiral. However, with the right habits, rituals and routines, it’s possible to break the ongoing cycle of burnout once and for all, boosting your energy, focus and productivity so you can actually get your shit together without destroying your health in the process.
It’s easy to only reach for self-care in a mad panic when you’re on the brink of burnout and looking for a quick fix. We’ve all been there, but building regular habits helps you reset so much faster when your energy levels are low. Building a reset toolkit is all about finding what works for you.
Whether you're forever chasing after the ultimate energising sounds to get you out of bed in the morning or new yoga classes to try out, we've got you. Our sound healing series can help you find that ever-elusive sense of calm. We even tried energy-boosting vitamin injections so you don't have to (or do, if you like what you see!)
So, whatever you need to feel focused and productive, we’ve curated a selection of revitalising products to reset your body and mind and make life easier. From nootropic capsules for mental fatigue to eye care kits for screen-weary eyes. Time to hit the reset button.
MORNING PERSON
8am mood oil
If 8AM is your favourite time of day, good for you. For the rest of us, however, who resentfully peel our heads from the pillow each morning, Our Project has created a mood oil to make those early hours more bearable. Add it to your body lotion, face mask, yoga mat or diffuser for a gentle start to the day. Blissful scents of bergamot, orange and grapefruit give you a refreshing mood boost. It turns out that coffee isn’t the only way to enjoy mornings.
PLANT THERAPY
Calathea plant with a Classic Dalston Chalk Pot
£85.00
Somehow keeping a plant alive helps us feel like we’ve got your shit together even when we haven’t. Buying a new house plant is a great first step to resetting your space, routine and mindset. Leaf Envy’s Calathea Orbifolia can live in lower light levels so it’s perfect for brightening up a dark room that gets little natural light.
SWEET SUNRISE
Bodyclock Spark 100
£99.00
The right start to the day makes all the difference. Instead of being jolted awake by the sudden, abrasive sound of the default iPhone alarm, Lumie’s Bodyclock gently wakes you up using a gradual 30-minute ‘sunrise simulation.’ This is especially helpful in winter if you’re used to waking up in the dark as it resets your internal body clock to boost mood, productivity and energy levels.
LIFE GIVES YOU LEMONS
Lemongrass Hair Duo
£26.00
There’s nothing like a shower for an instant reset. Tired? Take a shower. Sad? Have a shower cry. Hungover? Get up and shower. The only thing that makes a shower even more refreshing is citrusy shower products. Fiils’ refillable lemongrass hair duo for normal to oily hair cleanses, tones and deodorises hair for healthy, luscious locks. Because feeling fresh starts from the head down.
