The “I Can’t Switch Off” Reset
Six minutes to help you stop carrying one part of your day into the next.
Use this guided movement + breath practice when the work is finished, the responsibility has passed,
or you finally have a moment to yourself — but your mind and body are still moving at the pace the day required.
You do not need to force yourself to relax or empty your mind. Give yourself enough room to move,
press play, and let the Shake + Settle practice guide you through a deliberate transition.
The “I Can’t Switch Off” Reset
Give yourself enough room to move. Do not use this practice while driving.
Then save the visual guide.
Use it to spot your most common stress responses. These are the automatic things your mind and body do when pressure rises, and different ones need different kinds of support.
A six-minute practice can help you shift out of the pressure you are carrying right now.
But if you regularly finish one responsibility and immediately begin mentally carrying the next — if urgency, overthinking, pushing harder or doing everything yourself keep returning — then the deeper work is not simply learning how to calm down.
It is learning to recognize what triggers your familiar responses, understand what is happening underneath them, and practise another way of meeting the moments that matter.
The Relaxed Leader Foundations
This reset gives you one practical way to shift gears.
The Relaxed Leader Foundations helps you understand why the same patterns return when pressure rises — even when you know intellectually that pushing harder, overthinking or carrying everything is no longer helping.
- Recognize your automatic stress patterns sooner
- Understand what is driving the response underneath the surface
- Practise another way of responding in your work, relationships and everyday life
