3 Ways to Reset Your Rhythm Naturally
August always sneaks in with a quiet shift — the last golden days of summer, school supplies scattered across the counter, and calendars slowly filling again. Whether you're sending littles off to school or just feeling the collective buzz of routine returning, this time of year invites a moment of reset.
For many of us — especially moms — the return to early mornings, packed lunches, and after-school activities can feel jarring. But it also holds a beautiful opportunity: to intentionally reset the rhythm of your household and yourself.
Here are 3 grounded, natural ways to recalibrate and move into this season with more ease and presence:
🌙 Anchor Your Evenings with a Ritual Wind-Down
Evenings tend to be the most chaotic — dinner, homework, baths, bedtime. It’s a lot. But anchoring your evenings with a small, repeatable ritual (even just 5–10 minutes) can signal to your nervous system and your kids’ bodies that it’s time to settle.
Try this:
Diffuse grounding oils like lavender, vetiver, or cedarwood
Dim the lights an hour before bed
Use a calming rollerball like Grounding to help ease the transition
Play soft music or nature sounds during the last stretch of the night
Incorporate a warm wash with our Shower Oil or a spritz of Grounding Mist on pillows and sheets
This sets the tone not only for better sleep, but for a more connected close to the day.
☀️ Begin Mornings with 5 Minutes of Intentional Presence
Back-to-school mornings can easily feel rushed and disconnected. While you may not have time for a long routine, 5 minutes of mindful presence before the day begins can change everything.
Some ideas for a nourishing start:
Step outside barefoot with your coffee or tea for a breath of fresh morning air
Mist your face with our Rose Hydrosol and take three deep breaths
Jot down one thing you’re grateful for or one intention for the day
Invite your child to share one thing they’re excited (or nervous) about for the day ahead
A grounded morning helps everyone — especially you — feel less reactive and more rooted.
🍂 Embrace the Power of Simplicity in the Shift
This time of year pulls us into “doing” — sign-ups, drop-offs, schedules. But nature teaches us that shifts don’t need to be chaotic. They can be slow, subtle, and intentional.
Use this season to simplify:
Plan easy, nourishing meals
Declutter one space at a time (include your kids!)
Revisit your routines and ask what actually serves you
Build in buffer time — even 10 minutes between transitions can ease pressure
And remember, it’s okay to say no. You don’t have to do it all — you just have to show up with presence.
Bonus: Support for the Transition
