I managed to do a 10 min meditation and 10 min yoga flow after I woke up, then proceeded to do skincare and get dressed to leave for work. I found some resistance inside but after I did all this, I felt better. I think this minimal routine is something that I can do on the long term, and I found it helpful to prepare myself for the day ahead.

I love the feeling of routine, the stability and the feel of grounding it gives, I just wish I could be more consistent with mine. Maybe this “minimal” approach will do the trick.

Summer is here. The days are getting longer and warmer. The sun is here to hug us and cheer us up. I felt like listening to music again today, after a while. I felt like the main character in some movie where nothing happens.

I started reading again. I picked up a book I started last year around the same time. The chapters are speaking to me completely different now.

I felt hopeful today.

I loved this weekend. I felt grateful, positive, optimistic and happy for the first time this month. After a challenging year, in which lots of stuff happened on all areas of our life, I finally felt like I can breathe and be relaxed for a while. I recharged my batteries and I finally felt like a whole person again, and also managed to see glimpses of my old happy self.

Tomorrow marks the beginning of a new month and after 4 months that were really crazy and filled with stress, and negative stuff, I want to go back to my usual self and routine and goals.

As goals for next month, I want to accomplish this:

• read 2 books

• do 10 mins of yoga nearly everyday

• meditate nearly everyday

• do 5 Grow with Jo workouts/ week

• go for walks in parks every weekend

• journal in my daily moleskine nearly everyday and plan my days

• count all these habits

I feel the energy of this new month and I don’t want to think about the fact that I wasted 4 months, or that I didn’t progress as I would have liked, I just want to focus on this new month ahead and see what I can accomplish. 💪🏼

My fiancé came home for the weekend after being away for a week with work, and we went out for a walk after having a lazy day at home. He suggested that we go to Cismigiu park, that he loves, and there I got to see a row of beautiful blue flowers, which I love, and discovered this new one, named glycine.

We ended up walking for 3 hours and the city was just effervescent with energy of the people that went out as well. One of the main boulevards of the town was closed for cars and people could walk in the street so it was flooded with people eating, sitting at terraces, drinking wine, laughing and talking, some places had djs and they put beautiful music so people started dancing. It was beautiful to witness the happiness of people in the warmth of the beginning of the summer nights. I need to find a way to bottle up this energy for the ugliness of the winter nights. Or maybe I just need to find a way to romanticize even the winter days. 🌨️

One of the most beautiful gardens from a villa (or palazzo?) we stumbled upon while in Brera district, enjoying the exhibitions. I enjoyed this space so much, the quietness, the chill energy, the beautiful outdoor furniture, the details of the facade, the beautiful landscaping.

Milan is just full of beautifully arranged green gardens, spaces, everything looks perfect. I wish I could stay there.

Once upon a time, I used to bake banana bread as a “thank you for helping me” and take it as a gift to people I cherish.

Maybe I should do it again. I miss that person.

Green details from Salone del Mobile. I’m a sucker for plants and I love how they make the spaces more alive.

Colorful corners seen at Dríade and Miniforms at Salone del Mobile. The bookcase with the sculpture is one of my favorite pieces.

Reading in bed is all I want to do right now, but I am too tired for it.

29 june 2022 | Bought tickets for this concert at the beginning of the month then we completely forgot about it. It was a joy. The band was launching their new album and they did not disappoint. 🎵🎶
