One of the biggest challenges we face is showing up in the world as ourselves.

We’re often so scared of being rejected or judged we don’t fully own who we are and what we believe in.

Not to mention, who wants to deal with family drama, hometown gossip or social media madness!

Truth time. Are you so busy with work, keeping your house running smoothly and checking off daily to-dos that the thought of taking some time to unwind seems almost laughable? (Relax? Ha! Now, where’s my coffee?!)

While a week-long getaway or even a three-day weekend staycation are ideal to unwind, there are so many ways we can bring more relaxing into our every day.

Pick and choose whichever topics below are calling to you right now and enjoy your feel-good journey!

There’s nothing better than giving someone a reason to smile. You know what’s so fantastic about it too? We don’t have to give up hardly anything to do so.

We get what we give in life and there are so many little things we can give freely that will bring joy to those around us. And to ourselves too!

Today, be a giver and make someone smile by …

It’s hard to believe we’re already half-way through 2019. It feels like just yesterday we were clinking Champagne flutes and cheering to our best year yet.

(We know it’s winter for our friends in the southern hemisphere, but your summer will come soon enough, so bookmark these ideas!)

See that stack of papers on your counter? Or the books piled by your nightstand you’re definitely going to read … eventually? Looks like you’ve got some clutter.
