In this episode of Wild Enthusiasm for Living, I’m talking about something many of us face: feeling irritable and on edge. Life doesn’t always go as planned, and when our routines get disrupted by vacations, busy seasons, or unexpected stress, it’s easy to find ourselves more reactive than usual.

I’ll share how I’ve learned to recognize when I’m out of my groove and how I gently bring myself back using grounding techniques like mindful walking, EFT tapping, and breathing exercises such as 4-7-8 breathing and box breathing. I also talk about the importance of getting to the root of what’s really bothering us instead of getting stuck in reactive loops, whether that’s through journaling or having a conversation with someone’s higher self. Staying consistent with movement and meditation, even when life feels hectic, is key to keeping my nervous system regulated, and I’ll share how affirmations, especially those from Louise Hay, have helped me shift from irritation to calm.

Finally, I can’t stress enough how practicing gratitude has transformed my ability to soften irritation and stay grounded. If you’re feeling easily annoyed or frustrated lately, this episode is full of gentle tools and insights to help you come back to yourself with kindness and reclaim your wild enthusiasm for living.
