✨ Soft Girl Reset Routine: What I Do When I Feel Out of Sync
Lately, I’ve been in my soft girl season — not the curated, Pinterest-perfect version, but the real one. The one where I’m moving slower, checking in with myself more, and choosing rest over pressure.
Not because I planned it… but because life — in all its noise, pressure, and unpredictability — had me feeling off. You know that feeling where you’re doing everything you’re supposed to be doing, and still feel disconnected from yourself?
Yeah, that’s where I’ve been.
I used to push through these funks. I’d put on a brave face, work through the burnout, and try to fix myself with productivity. But I’m learning something softer now — that sometimes the best thing I can do is just be. Be still. Be gentle. Be kind to myself. Let myself reset.
So this week, instead of hustling harder, I chose to slow down with intention.

🧖🏽♀️ Face Masks + Fresh Skin Moments
There’s something therapeutic about applying a face mask. No pressure, no outcome, just presence. It’s become part of my daily self-care during burnout. Sometimes I add a little light makeup — not for productivity, but to feel a bit more me again.
🧺 Comfy Clothes That Feel Like a Hug
I’ve been reaching for my softest lounge sets lately — oversized pants, lived-in hoodies, fuzzy socks. Nothing structured. Just softness. I’m learning that putting on something cozy is its own kind of self-respect. It sets the tone for slow, gentle energy throughout the day.
🪴 Sitting Outside + Letting the Sun Speak
Even just 10 minutes on the balcony with my Kindle or a warm drink helps me breathe again. No phone. No scrolling. Just air, quiet, and presence. I journal, I pray, and I let the wind remind me — nature never rushes. And neither do I.
✍🏽 Journaling + Praying to Reconnect
When I feel cluttered on the inside, I pour it out — through pen or prayer. My journal doesn’t need to be pretty. Sometimes it’s messy and raw. But every time, it brings me back to center.
This is what reconnecting with yourself can look like: honest, spiritual, and unfiltered.
Books have always been a safe place. Lately, curling up with my Kindle has been a gentle form of emotional self-care — whether it’s a slow romance or an exciting thriller, reading reminds me that stillness can be beautiful too. No goal. Just presence.
✨ Choosing Myself in New Ways
✨ Choosing Myself in New Ways
The biggest shift I’ve made recently? I went part-time at work.
Not because I’m running from something — but because I’m running toward the life I want. More time for my blog, digital products, and cozy creative work. More space to breathe. More energy for the things that light me up.
It’s scary sometimes. But it also feels like alignment. Like choosing myself.
💭 Final Thoughts
If you’ve been in a funk lately too, just know:
You’re not broken. You don’t need fixing.
You don’t have to earn your rest or hustle your way to clarity.
You’re allowed to slow down. You’re allowed to feel. You’re allowed to begin again.
✨ Your softness is sacred.
✨ Your stillness is strength.
✨ And your funk? It’s not failure — it’s just an invitation to reconnect with yourself.
