17 Re-Centering and Surviving Seasonal Togetherness
If you feel different after being around people, even people you love, this episode is for you. In Big Shift Energy, Amanda breaks down why social energy costs more than we realize and offers compassionate, practical ways to re-center after people-time. This is about soft boundaries, quiet rituals, and letting yourself come back online in your own time.
🌒 Key Takeaways
- Re‑centering is necessary after people‑time, even when nothing "bad" happened.
- Masking and managing energy costs more than we admit.
- Softness is not collapse. Softness is regulation.
- Tiny rituals can bring you back faster than overthinking ever will.
- You don't have to carry what isn't yours.
🌿 Gentle Shift for the Week Choose one small ritual you'll use after spending time with people.
- Change clothes.
- Wash your hands.
- Sit quietly for two minutes.
- Write it down.
Practice it before you need it. That's the whole assignment.
