The Wild Reset

🌿 A 4-Step Cycle for Returning to You

We don’t start life tired.

We start curious. Wild. Playful.

We play, we dance, we fall, and then we get right back up to do it all again.

We throw ourselves into life headfirst: mud, glitter, mistakes and all.

But somewhere along the way, things get… heavier... harder.

Expectations pile up. Calendars fill. Dreams get pushed aside for deadlines.

And that bright, nimble, celebratory version of us?

They fade.

This isn’t failure. It’s friction.

It’s what happens when our aliveness gets boxed into a shape it was never meant to hold.

But here’s the good news:

That wild, vibrant self is still in there, waiting to be remembered.

And nature, in her infinite wisdom, has given us a way home.

It’s called The Wild Reset.

It’s not linear. It’s not a checklist.

It’s a cycle - like the seasons.

You don’t do it once and call it done.

You move through it again and again.

Each time softer. Each time stronger.

Each time a little more you.

Let’s begin.

Step 1: Stop + Step Outside

You can’t reset when you’re stuck in the same room, same scroll, same story.

This first step is an interruption. A pause.

Step away from the glowing screen. Step out under the sky.

Let your body land.

Even a few minutes outside can shake loose what’s stuck.

Nature doesn’t demand anything from you.

She just holds space, for silence, for slowness, for something softer to emerge.

This is how you begin to loosen the grip.

This is how the return begins.

Step 2: Look Up + Look Back

Look up. Literally.

At trees, at clouds, at the sky doing weird and wonderful things.

Notice the details: the way light filters through branches, the smell of sun-warmed leaves, the dynamic patterns of birds in flight.

This is about reconnecting with awe, that elusive feeling adults try to buy in tiny glass bottles.

And once you’ve grounded in the present, look back - gently.

What have you done that made you proud lately?

Where did you surprise yourself?

This isn’t nostalgia. It’s recognition.

You’ve come a long way. You’re still growing.

Don’t miss the chance to notice.

Step 3: Remember + Reimagine

Now comes the deep work.

Remember who you were before the world told you who to be.

What lit you up as a kid?

What did you dream of becoming, not for money or clout, but because it mattered?

Maybe you wanted to be a scientist who saved lives.

Or a storyteller who made people feel less alone.

Or a singer, belting your heart out to packed stadiums.

Those dreams weren’t childish. They were truthful.

And now that you’ve come this far, you can reimagine them.

With skill. With wisdom. With wild, grown-up fire.

Step 4: Solve + Celebrate

This is the doing phase. But not the hustle kind.

This is: write the plan. Pitch the idea. Build the damn thing.

Not because you should, but because it’s calling you.

And when you take that brave little step toward your reimagined dream?

Celebrate.

Celebrate that you’re not numbing out.

Celebrate your courage.

Celebrate your success.

Celebrate that even though the world tried to harden you, something inside stayed soft:

and is beginning to blossom, like wildflowers bursting through melting snow.

🌙 The Cycle Continues

Like spring to summer to fall to winter, this process is not a one-time fix.

It’s a rhythm. A remembering. A return.

Every time you move through it, something shifts.

The reset gets easier. The remembering gets deeper.

You begin to live more wildly aligned, not just in the forest, but in your daily life.

Because this isn’t about going backward.

It’s about spiraling forward, back into your joy, your courage, your celebration of being alive.

So when life gets heavy again (and it will)…

🌿 step outside

🌿 look up

🌿 remember

🌿 celebrate

🌿 begin again

You’re so close to mastery.

The kind where you feel whole again.

The kind your soul remembers.

The kind where your life feels like it’s finally yours.
