Life is messy. My living room is messier.
•
But none of that actually matters in this moment.
We can choose -no, it’s not always easy- but we can choose the lens through which we view our realities.
•
I could choose to look around and pick out all the things that need ‘fixing,’ but the thing is, that will never make me happy. It might make me feel ‘in control’ for a short while, it might make me feel productive, it might provide some distraction from all the feels I may be avoiding. But to constantly be analyzing and on a mission to ‘fix it all’ would not make me a happier human.
•
So I choose to see it all, through a lens that allows me to find beauty within the mess. To witness the ups and downs fully, with open eyes and a curious heart. Through a lens that allows me to just BE with it.
•
This moment is good.

When in doubt 👆🏻
•
Just a reminder that your soul // intuition has all the answers you need.
•
Sometimes is takes some REAL decluttering to get out from under the spell of our inner critic// disordered voice// ego but the soul knows what it needs.
•
What could do to clear some space // create some quiet so that you can look inward and see clearly what’s there for you to uncover?

Feeding ourselves doesn’t have to look precious. It doesn’t have to look pretty or fancy or instagram ready.
•
I still have to remind myself that it’s not all or nothing // it doesn’t have to be a frozen pizza OR a totally-from-scratch meal all the time // there is so much grey area.
•
We’ve been convinced that feeding ourselves should take a whole bunch of time and thought and intention- and yeah, absolutely there’s room for that. But what if my intention is to feed myself food that tastes good that doesn’t stress me out to make on a week night?
•
What if my intention is to do right by my taste buds and I don’t have the energy to dream up a new combo of flavors?
•
What if my intention is to just make sure I eat, no matter what?
•
What if my intention is to eat with pleasure above all else?
•
What if my intention to feed myself well, doesn’t “look” like someone else’s?
•
All of that too, is OK.
•
Feeding ourselves CAN be a slow, thoughtful, creative, precious moment.
But it doesn’t ALWAYS have to be.
•
Don’t let the fear of “not doing intuitive eating right” keep you in a place where food still feels like an obsession.
•
The mere fact that you’re feeding yourself is precious enough.

It’s rainy, and gloomy, and cold here, and I’m digging it.
•
Folks love this time of year for the classics like apple picking, pumpkin carving, cider sipping, and snuggling in.
•
This is my favorite time of year for those reasons, plus this one:
This is the time of year that I am consistently reminded how grateful I am for the coziness that is body.
•
My soft, fleshy parts get to be hugged by soft sweaters and layers and layers and layers. I get to slow down from all the summer excitement enough to feel the crisp air on my skin. I get to snuggle up with all the hot beverages and do all the journaling, to warm my bones and my heart. I get to cook with warmth and comfort in mind, always. I get to wrap myself up in physical and metaphorical sweaters every day. I get to reeeally turn inward as things get quiet around me, coming home to myself again.
•
See, finding this much comfort within my body are of course accessible at all times of year. But sometimes it helps to just have a little reminder that feeling cozy in our skin is possible, am I right?
•
So let's collectively capitalize on this shift in seasons. I’m pledging 3 things that I plan to do this coming Fall to really ground into this body of mine; to tend to it, to be sweet to it, to cozy up in it.
•
If you want to join me, I'd love for you to share in your next caption on instagram and tag me so I can see! 🤗
•
1. I plan to take more time to cook for myself.
The chaos of the summer is slowing and I’m excited to tap back into some home cooking to feed this bod.
•
2. I plan to get rid of the last of the jeans that hug me too tightly.
ITS TIME. They don’t serve me. And I need more room to be able to comfortably digest all that home cooking to come!
•
3. I plan to look at self care through the lens of ~*sweaters*~
Yes, sweaters.
When I think of putting on a sweater, I think of turning inward, getting to know myself more intimately, getting quieter and softer. I think of warming my body and soul. I think of hugs. So many hugs. I think of animals going into hibernation. I think of rest, renewal, warmth, comfort. I want to ask myself every day, how I can wrap myself up in a metaphorical sweater.

It’s all in the details.
I find myself really drawn to nesting and grooming my spaces as of late. It’s something about the physical nature of using my hands, while letting my creative brain take charge so the intellectual brain can rest. It’s the attention to the little details, the intentionality that goes into what goes where, the thoughtfulness about what things bring me joy and which do not. I think that’s something we could all use a little more of.
•
When it comes to food & our bodies, the need for thoughtfulness and intentionality is no different.
•
How can you be more intentional about making food choices that bring you joy, that light you up, that make you feel good?
How can you take action to care for yourself in ways that intentionally align with your heart?
How can you invite in more thoughtfulness about what you need in order to feel comfy/ cozy/ tended to?
What things (be it your habits, routines, thought patterns, people, to-do’s, beliefs about yourself) can you give away that no longer fit where you’re at right now?
•
What if we tended to our relationships with self, as much as we tend to our homes and belongings?
That would be rad.
