When I am feeling off track, I bring my focus back to the basics. It can be as simple as finding foods that work with your digestion, a good night of sleep, and managing where you put your focus/intentions/energy.
Perfect example- I had a terrible experience with food poisoning at the beginning of the summer- I mean this stuff took me out. I was so sick, and probably could have done with an IV injection to replenish fluids, vitamins, minerals, but I didn't think it was that serious at the time so put it off. (GO GET THE CARE YOU NEED GUYS!) I could barely eat or drink for weeks, and that had an effect on my gut and mental health as well (did you know 95% of your body's serotonin is produced in the gut!?). My sleep schedule was destroyed, I was experiencing chronic fatigue, dizziness, nausea. I was numbing out with doomscrolling and self-medicating with cannabis for physical and mental reasons (it's legal in Ct people, I'm going to be real with you). I needed to pull myself out of this mess.
I finally remembered the medicine that is bone broth- it brought me back to life!! You probably already know it is a great source of protein- but did you know it's also high in vitamins & minerals including electrolytes!? I would drink it first thing in the morning every day and focused on easy to digest foods. I revisited my sleep routine- intentionally getting ready for bedtime, got my phone back out of the bedroom and swapped for reading a book (I highly recommend getting old school with a digital alarm clock!). Daily meditation. I got much more intentional with how I was spending my time, brought attention back to little habits, tending to myself and my home. After a couple more weeks, I finally felt like I was regaining energy. I went back to in-person yoga class and tried a new studio. Appetite finally restored, I have been enjoying making wholesome and healthy seasonal sweets and savories... and now I am finally ready to share Ayurveda's gifts with all of you!
