Did you get something special for Christmas this year?
Some fancy soap? A special bottle of wine? Cozy socks that you don’t want to wear because they’ll get dirty? An expensive perfume you feel like you can’t wear on a daily basis?
Use it. Daily. For no reason at all. Enjoy it. Don’t wait.
I’m a bit late to the party on this one, but I’ve been recently exploring the power of visualization, manifesting, and the law of attraction. Before you roll your eyes and close the tab, stick with me a minute.
I’ve long had my doubts that visualizing something you want could help actually bring it into existence, but a recent two-part podcast series made me reconsider my assumptions. Or at least give it a try.
I’ve been slowly making my way through ‘On Looking: A Walker’s Guide to the Art of Observation’ by Alexandra Horowitz and have been absolutely entranced by the idea of hidden worlds that most of us miss.
In this post, I’m diving into one simple way you can practice mindfulness while out for an ordinary walk.
It’s easy, I promise!
After being inspired by Grace Atwood of The Stripe (who was inspired by Cupcakes and Cashmere), I wanted to pass this question along to all of you:
What are you looking forward to?
With all of the uncertainty and anxiety of the past year, it’s nice to pause a moment and just daydream about what’s to come. Good things. Fun things. New places. Adventures.
In this post, I’m sharing four things I’m looking forward to!
Do you ever just have a bad day where everything you could imagine goes wrong? You get stuck in traffic. You spill coffee on your favorite shirt. You make a big mistake on a high-stakes project. Someone says something that revives one of your biggest insecurities. And when you finally get the chance to talk about it someone says ‘well, it could be worse.’
It. just. stops. you. in. your. tracks.
This is a stressful and scary time. I know a lot of people have had their routines shaken up, with no clear end date in sight. So, I wanted to share a few of the ways that I’m keeping myself calm and getting through these surreal times. Obviously, do whatever works for you.
