We never know what’s going on within the lives of others. Let’s be gentle with one another. Let’s assume less and judge less. Let’s listen more.

Nestle yourself in a place of comfort. A place where you feel at home with yourself. When you get there, let go. Let go of expectations. Let go of the pressures of today.

Where do you feel the most freedom?
A big, spacious room of sculptures? In the presence of nature?
When do you feel the most freedom?
In the late afternoon when golden sunbeams dance through the windows? Or at night, when the moon is high?
What is freedom to you?
Strumming away at the guitar? Painting lines and circles on a vast canvas?
Who do you feel the most free around?
A best friend? Maybe a mother?
How can we shift our views in the mirror of frustration into a more understanding angle?

Life is becoming a routine. I feel as if the only way to fill my days are with wave after wave of productivity. Can we set a productive environment while also giving room for our personal needs?

Lean into precious, little moments of rest. Take time to breathe, to listen, to reflect, to disconnect from all the news and noise. Sit silently in your own presence. Breath in positivity, and breathe out negativity. Let the sound silence comfort you, like a warm blanket amidst the cold.

Objects — usual and unusual; for the every-day and for the rare occasion — let them spark joy in our hearts; let them stir creativity.

MOVE
For just a few moments each day
Feel free in your body; without restrictions
Let it elevate your mundane and lift your spirits
Let it motivate your day

Laid-back; tranquil state of mind. Self-isolation can be a chance to rebalance, reground, and find self.

Sometimes, things don’t go as planned — but, we can always find joy amidst these imperfect times.
