My 90-Day Reset: Why I Started and What’s Changing
I hit a point this fall where I knew something had to change.
Not in a dramatic, fall-off-the-cliff way… just a quiet moment where I looked at my life and thought, “Amy, you deserve to feel better than this.”
My energy was low.
My routines were a mess.
My skincare was hit or miss.
My eating was emotional and inconsistent.
My confidence felt like it was tiptoeing out the back door.
And honestly? I missed feeling rooted.
I missed that steady, grounded version of myself I had worked so hard to build.
So on a random Tuesday, I made a decision:
I’m starting a 90-day reset. Not extreme. Not aesthetic-perfect. Just real, steady growth.
And this is what it looks like for me.
Why I Started This Reset
I wanted my life back.
That’s the truth.
I wanted clearer routines.
I wanted healthier choices.
I wanted my body to feel supported, not stressed and inflamed.
I wanted to stop spinning in survival mode and step back into a rhythm that actually feels good.
Most of all?
I wanted to feel in control again — mentally, physically, financially, spiritually.
And the reset gave me a place to begin.
I’ve realized resets don’t magically fix your life — they just force you to stop cruising on autopilot. And honestly? God has been nudging me for a while to slow down, get intentional, and quit acting like I can run on empty forever. So here I am, choosing discipline over chaos, choosing routines over burnout, and choosing to listen when the Holy Spirit taps me on the shoulder and says, “Hey… you can do better, daughter.” I’m not trying to be perfect. I’m just trying to be obedient, consistent, and a little less dramatic than I was last season. And every time I show up for these tiny habits, I feel myself getting more grounded, more confident, and a whole lot more aligned with who He’s called me to be.
What’s Changing?
I built a few simple rules for myself — nothing crazy, just intentional:
1. Daily skincare
Even when I’m tired.
Even when I don’t want to.
My face deserves nourishment just as much as the rest of me.
2. Mindful eating
Not dieting — awareness.
What I eat, how it makes me feel, and how my body responds.
3. Financial discipline
This one is huge for me.
Cutting the mindless spending.
Focusing on paying down debt.
Building something more stable for my family.
4. Time with God daily
No matter how small the moment.
A verse. A prayer. A pause.
My peace comes from Him.
5. Showing up on social media with purpose
Not perfectly.
Not as a character.
Just as me — raw, honest, rebuilding.
How I’m Tracking My Progress
I use:
a simple habit tracker
skincare notes
food reflections
mood checks
weekly wins
my collagen results
finances and no-spend days
It’s messy, real, and incredibly grounding.
I don’t need perfection.
I just need movement.
The further I get into this — 24 days to be exact — the more I’m realizing God isn’t asking me to be perfect, He’s asking me to pay attention. He keeps putting these little holy speed bumps in my path that force me to slow down, breathe, and stop acting like I can power through life on caffeine, willpower, and ignoring the warning signs. And yes… this past week was a very loud reminder that I cannot pretend to have the same colon I once had. That whole situation was humbling, painful, and honestly? A little bit of a divine tap on the shoulder telling me to respect the body He healed. I’ll share more of that story another day, but let’s just say it got my attention.
What I’ve learned is this: discipline isn’t about being strict — it’s about stewardship. God didn’t bring me through everything I’ve survived so I could run myself right back into burnout, inflammation, or chaos. He’s teaching me to be wise with my habits, gentle with myself, and honest when something doesn’t feel right. Progress isn’t always pretty, and it’s definitely not always convenient, but it’s holy work. And showing up for myself — even in the smallest ways — is my way of saying, “Lord, I hear You. I’m trying. Keep guiding me.” That’s what this reset is really about.
I’m not chasing perfection anymore — I’m chasing obedience, peace, and the version of me God’s been trying to grow all along.
This reset is stretching me in ways I didn’t expect, but it’s also grounding me in ways I didn’t know I needed. I’m learning, I’m growing, and I’m building steadiness one decision at a time. If nothing else, these last 24 days have reminded me that healing isn’t linear, progress isn’t perfect, and God is found in the middle of the messy parts too.
If you’re feeling pulled to reset some things in your life too — big or small — consider this your sign. You don’t have to overhaul your whole world. Just start with one thing. One habit. One prayer. One tiny step that pulls you closer to the woman God is shaping you into. You’re not behind. You’re being refined.
If you want to follow along with my 90-day reset or start your own, stick around. I’m sharing it honestly, day by day.
