Little rituals, big impact: how I’ve been looking after myself lately

The last few months have been full-on. Like many of you, I’ve had to hold a lot – big decisions, business challenges, intense emotions, and things that don’t fit neatly into a to-do list.

When life feels heavy or uncertain, I try to remind myself that looking after me isn’t a luxury – it’s leadership.

Here’s what that’s looked like recently…

1. Comfort watching as emotional regulation – I’m back with The West Wing – for the third time. There’s something incredibly grounding about familiar dialogue, good people doing hard things, and fast-paced walk-and-talks. It soothes my nervous system and reminds me of what steady leadership can look like.

2. Decluttering to clear the mental load – At home and at our Boo HQ, I’ve been clearing out what’s no longer needed – physically and emotionally. It’s not just about space; it’s about releasing old energy to make room for what’s next. It’s amazing how freeing it feels.

3. Napping, because sleep is sacred – A full night’s sleep isn’t always happening right now – but I’ve stopped fighting that and started listening to what my body needs. A quick nap, a slower morning, a guilt-free rest. It’s not laziness; it’s self-preservation.

4. A quiet love affair with house plants – There’s something joyful about watering, repotting, and seeing a new leaf unfurl. These small signs of growth feel like a gentle reminder: you’re still growing, too.

I share this because we don’t talk enough about the real ways we get through hard times. It’s not always big, shiny solutions. Sometimes it’s rewatching old TV shows and clearing out the junk drawer.

If you’re navigating something challenging right now, you’re not alone. Be kind to yourself. Find your version of the West Wing. And remember – these small acts of care are brave, necessary, and deeply human…What’s your comfort TV show or regulating ritual?
