Feeling like there's never enough time or energy to do what you enjoy?
It doesn't have to be the norm!
Many clients I see struggle with stress management and finding the balance between self-care and caring for others. That's why I created 75 Reset.
Inspired by the popular “75 Hard” challenge, 75 Reset is a mental health–focused alternative that helps you build resilience and create balance through five simple daily habits over 75 days.
So, are you ready to hit the reset button on stress and take control of your wellbeing?
Why 75 Reset Works for you:
✅ Manage Stress: Rewires your response to life’s challenges using daily actions that reduce anxiety and regulate your nervous system.
✅ Resilience Boost: Strengthens your ability to bounce back from whatever life throws your way.
✅ Enhance Focus: Sharpens mental clarity, improves concentration, and supports cognitive function.
✅ Cultivate Joy: Helps you rediscover joy and passion in everyday moments - and brings back that spark.
✅ Complete Well-being: "75 Reset" isn't just a program; it's a journey towards a healthier, more balanced you – physically, mentally, emotionally, and nutritionally.
75 Reset was curated to be both manageable and completed within a timeframe needed to form habits that give awhi to your lifestyle long term.
Getting Started:
Commit to doing each of these five steps every day for 75 days. It’s okay if some days don’t go perfectly - the goal is to stay mindful and build habits, not to be perfect.
✅ Create a vision-board Visualisation activates the same neural pathways in the brain as doing the real thing. Adding images and affirmations to a vision board helps train your brain to focus on what matters.
✅Don't overcommit Can’t do 45 minutes all at once? Break it into small blocks - 5–10 minutes throughout the day still counts.
✅Self-Kindness matters As always, remember to be kind to yourself and give yourself grace as you start this reset. Small successes are better than none; Every time you try, you're showing up for your wellbeing, and that's to be celebrated.
