One of those tricks is using transition moments in your day\u2014like your daily commute or mid-afternoon break\u2014to perform what she calls a \u201cmicro reset.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Stoner uses these micro resets to perform a self check-in with her physical, mental, and emotional well-being on the days she can\u2019t dedicate a full hour to self care. From there, Stoner can decide what it is her body and mind needs most, whether that&#8217;s a quick 10-minute workout or a stress-relieving phone call with a friend. \u201cIt&#8217;s helped [me] weave it into the day in a way that&#8217;s natural,\u201d says Stoner.<\/p>\n<p>In order to find out what her mind and body need most, Stoner uses three questions to guide how she uses her transition periods throughout the day.<\/p>\n<div class=\"related-content \" style=\"\" data-module-init=\"related-content\" data-module-immediate=\"\" v-cloak=\"\">\n<div class=\"related-content__wrapper \" v-cloak=\"\" :class=\"{'is-loaded':isLoaded}\">\n<p> <span class=\"inline pr-6 text-seafoam-dark\">Related Stories<\/span> <\/p>\n<p> <related-content class=\"related-content__links\" parent-article-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/alyson-stoner-micro-reset\/\" current-title=\"Here\u2019s How Alyson Stoner Uses \u2018Micro Resets\u2019 To Reclaim Time on Her Busiest Days\" current-image=\"chronicon-508-e1684950069494-425x285.jpg\" v-on:parsely-posts-loaded=\"onPostsLoaded\" start-date=\"2022-11-25\" tag=\"div\" inline-template=\"\" url=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/alyson-stoner-micro-reset\/\" secret=\"w5ztterVB03LGZJLfXS0hf3EvQBuFFIWew9hmVQxthU\" apikey=\"wellandgood.com\" limit=\"3\"> <\/p>\n<div>\n<div class=\"related-content__card mb-[10px] sm:mb-[20px]\" :class=\"{'related-content__card--full':posts.length === 1}\" v-for=\"(post, key) in posts\"> <a v-on:click.prevent=\"trackLinkGA($event, key)\" :href=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/alyson-stoner-micro-reset\/post.url\" data-url-source=\"related-content\" class=\"related-content__link\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"\"> <\/p>\n<div class=\"related-content__card--image bg-tan\" :style=\"{ backgroundImage: 'url(' + post.image_url + ')' }\"> <img decoding=\"async\" :src=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/alyson-stoner-micro-reset\/post.image_url\" :alt=\"post.title\" class=\" js-inline-lazy-load\" src=\"\"\/> <\/div>\n<p> <\/a>  <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> <\/related-content> <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<h2>3 questions Alyson Stoner asks herself with \u201cmicro resets\u201d<\/h2>\n<h3>1. \u201cIf my mind and body were a battery percentage, what\u2019s my capacity?\u201d<\/h3>\n<p>Are you operating at a full 100 percent right now or do you feel like you\u2019re dipping below 20 percent? Stoner uses this question to decide whether or not she has the capacity to take on more tasks in her day and work out what her mind and body need to recharge.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf it&#8217;s a matter of, no, I just physically don&#8217;t have the energy to add this on top of everything else, then I know it&#8217;s a question of energy,\u201d says Stoner about finding time for fitness.<\/p>\n<h3>2. \u201cIf my thoughts were moving from 0 to 100, what speed would I be at right now?\u201d<\/h3>\n<p>Do you feel like you have about a million things to do yet<em> so<\/em> little time? This question can help you gauge your stress and anxiety level throughout the day, and help you determine whether or not your plate is too full. If your thoughts are sprinting at an 85 out of 100, ask yourself what the sources of your racing mind are, and consider what tasks you might be able to put off for another day.<\/p>\n<p>And if you\u2019re <em>still <\/em>feeling overwhelmed, try using your transition moment to perform a grounding technique like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/somatic-release-exercise\/\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/somatic-release-exercise\/\">somatic release<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/meditation-101\/\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/meditation-101\/\">meditation<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>3. \u201cIf my mood were a color, what color am I feeling?\u201d<\/h3>\n<p>Are you fiery red with anger? How about a deep, contemplative blue? For some, associating emotions with colors can be easier than describing the complexity of your feelings. We typically associate bright, fun colors like hot pink with happiness (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/dopamine-dressing\/\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/dopamine-dressing\/\">dopamine dressing<\/a>, anyone?) and dark, somber colors like navy with sadness. If you\u2019re having a difficult time pinpointing which emotion you\u2019re feeling, close your eyes and picture what color best captures your mood.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese three questions help me check in and orient with where I am in that moment,\u201d says Stoner. She adds that, though simple, these questions reveal her mindset, energy levels, and what her body and mind might need more of. From there, she says you can make an informed decision on how best to utilize transition moments throughout the day and craft unused pockets of time for self care.<\/p>\n<p><em>Ready to reclaim your \u201cme\u201d time?
