Turns out you can overdo healing - and trying to be your best self too 😅

Quality over quantity.

And often times, the rest & reset is the medicine.

You don’t always need to journal.
Or figure it out, and overthink it.

Sometimes your body just needs to - s-h-a-k-e!

Literally.

✨ Shake the tension.
✨ Shake the overthinking.
✨ Shake the good girl archetype, the one who’s holding it all together, and feeling the pressure to be perfect, and polished.

I like putting on my fav playlists (btw stay tuned as I’ll be publishing my fav ones soon) and then just let my body lead.

This is one of my fav ways I reset my nervous system. It’s what I call healing, but make it hot 😉

Try it. Let go. Let it move.

And if you want more ideas on how to release the contraction & heaviness in your body, reclaim what’s underneath and rebirth the new you that’s wanting to emerge…

Sign up for my weekly newsletters dropping this week - through xandrine.com or the l!nk in my bio. Dropping my fav playlists & resources there too! 🔥

I planned to push through, but my body said no.
This time I listened.

The way I see it, a lot of us resist rest because we subconsciously attach our worth to how productive we are.

What if we started to see rest as part of our productivity - that this pause creates the power because we’ve had time to recharge.

Wishing you a restful weekend ✨

This has been a quiet practice for me lately….
Choosing what feels true, even when it’s uncomfortable.

And it’s also been a big theme with the women I work with 1:1 -
how trying to keep everyone comfortable can come at a personal cost.

You eventually get to a point where you realize you don’t want to keep doing that to yourself anymore.

Sometimes your body already knows what it wants…

And then the mind comes in looking for certainty. Cue the overthinking.

From my lived experience of residing in five different countries (some of which I moved to on a whim) - I can say this with confidence:

You don’t need the whole map.
You just need to take the first step.

What I’m noticing is how much output there is as women from
nurturing others, handling business, and just getting through life & all the adulting…

And - how easy it is to forget input.

The kind that brings us back home to ourselves.

So what if, instead of another rule or strategy, we lived by something simpler:

Feeling good comes first.

Share this with someone who could use this reminder. 🤍

Mornings are sacred to me…
It’s where I set the tone of my day before anything else gets a say.

I don’t start by checking messages, emails, or stepping into someone else’s agenda.
I start by staying with mine.

Slow mornings create clear boundaries and inner authority that allows me to lead from within.

Comment the word SACRED if you’re claiming this too. 🤍
