The Power of Inner Peace (And Everyday Ways to Achieve It)

In today’s increasingly frantic and fast-paced world, it’s getting harder to turn the volume down. We’re more connected to the world around us than ever, and that can be equal parts blessing and curse. It’s great to be connected with the people who are close to us (especially for a socially anxious introvert like me!). I love being able to see the latest news from all over the world via a few dabs at a touchscreen but when I’m anxious or sad I’ve learned that I have to create boundaries. Being constantly connected can add stress, anxiety, and sensory overload and letting all of that get to us takes us away from all of the amazing things that are happening in our lives.. It’s a fine balance between connection and stepping away so that you can experience the things (and people) around you. The power of inner peace When the…

February Self-Care Calendar

This morning I was trying to think of what image I wanted to create for social media. I thought, why not create a self-care challenge/calendar? They’re always really popular and it turned out SO CUTE! February Self-Care Ideas! 1. Make a list of goals. If you don’t really have any ideas, create a few self-care goals! 2. Positive self-talk! Say something nice to yourself. 3. Take a break. Mentally, emotionally, physically – whatever kind of break you need. 4. Self-soothe. If you;re having a hard time check out these techniques. 5. Move your body in whatever ways feel good to you! 6. Vent to a friend. We spend so much time holding things in, it’s good to let it out. 7. Get inspired. To read, create, think, dream, reorganize your closet – something! We need that rush of inspiration – search for it. 8. Stop putting things off. Procrastination can…

4 Self-Care New Year’s Resolutions

New Year is my favorite holiday. Yeah, I like big turkey dinners and I thoroughly enjoy opening gifts but you hand me a notebook and a few pilot pens (colorful ink please) and tell me to plan a new year – I am on cloud nine. I love that feeling of new-ness and wide-open-ness and the feeling that this year might be the year it happens, even if I don’t know what it is. Plus it’s the perfect time to start working in my Self-Care Planner and writing down all of your self-care new year’s resolutions! I’ve noticed that this year there’s been a bit of smack talking about New Year’s Resolutions and I wanted to share my own point of view. I don’t think that making resolutions sets you up to fail, I don’t think that they indicate you’re broken, I don’t think that they’re a waste of time, or that…

Holiday Recovery Plan

We made it you guys! We got through the holidays and now it’s time to focus on our holiday recovery plan. There are six days until the New Year, till the end of the decade – so we’re in this weird in between place. I don’t know about you, but I am exhausted. If I had to give this holiday stars, it would be 2/5. I just wasn’t feeling the holiday season and I will shamelessly admit that I’m glad it’s over. Working in retail. Missing loved ones. Coping with your mental illness. Running out of spoons. Disappointment over your experience. We all have our reasons to recover. Here are some ideas for your holiday recovery plan. Bundle up and take a slow walk. Breathe deep. Notice your surroundings and the sounds. Release the tension in your shoulders. Enjoy the moment. Enjoy the gifts in your life – whether they’re…
