Your day may be over — but your body is still holding on and you feel emotionally drained. In this episode of Creative Recharge Unblock Your Energy, Caria Watt gently guides you through understanding emotional residue, the subtle nervous-system traces that linger after the day so you feel emotionally drained.
Even when everything looks “fine,” emotional residue can leave you feeling tired but wired, heavy without knowing why, or disconnected from your usual clarity and creativity. This isn’t weakness. It’s your body doing exactly what it’s designed to do.
In this episode, you’ll learn how to:
◉ Recognise emotional residue in your body
◉ Understand why rest alone doesn’t always restore your energy
◉ Stop blaming yourself for feeling drained
◉ Gently acknowledge what you’ve been carrying — without fixing or forcing
◉ Reclaim creative focus, ease, and presence
This is a grounding, reflective episode designed to help your energy settle, your nervous system exhale, and your creativity return — naturally.
