Canned Goods - Inner Peace

An effective way to find inner peace is by learning to tune into your intuition, and allowing it to guide you.

An intuitive person slows down enough to hear their inner voice.

If you find yourself agonizing over a decision, take a breather, drop out of the mental block or frenzied headspace and ask yourself:

What is my gut intuition telling me? 

– “What am I leaning towards?”

– “Ultimately, what do I feel most comfortable with?”

Your intuitive feeling will gently reveal itself.

Important decisions are best made by our intuitive mind, as well as informed by decision models you have gathered over time.

Achieving inner peace and a happiness within yourself is an evolving and ongoing journey on life's path. If you’re intuitive, you become more observant and aware of your surroundings.

Albert Einstein has been quoted saying, “The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift.”

If you need some more wise words to help you center or a friendly nudge as a reminder, gather those inspirational quotes whether they’re hanging on your gallery wall, displayed on your fridge magnets or coffee mug. 

And remember, it all starts with making a conscious effort to be more calm and present! So call upon your intuition and let it guide you. 

We’ve gathered the goodness below...

“Nobody can bring you peace but yourself.” 

— Ralph Waldo Emerson

“It isn’t enough to talk about peace. One must believe in it. And it isn’t enough to believe in it. One must work at it.” 

— Eleanor Roosevelt

“No person, no place, and no thing has any power over us, for 'we' are the only thinkers in our mind. When we create peace and harmony and balance in our minds, we will find it in our lives.” 

— Louise L. Hay

“If you are depressed you are living in the past if you are anxious you are living in the future, if you are at peace, you are living in the present.”

 — Lao Tzu

“If you want peace, stop fighting. If you want peace of mind, stop fighting with your thoughts.”

— Peter McWilliams

“As soon as you trust yourself, you will know how to live.”

— Goethe

“Peace cannot be kept by force; it can only be achieved by understanding.”

— Albert Einstein 

“When you make peace with yourself, you make peace with the world." 

— Maha Ghosananda

                    And on that note, as good Ol' Blue Eyes once said:

"If you don't know the guy on the other side of the world, love him anyway because he's just like you. He has the same dreams, the same hopes and fears. It's one world, pal. We're all neighbors."

 — Frank Sinatra

Mood Swing.

“You might want to step back. I think I’m getting ready to have a mood swing."

Let’s CTRL-ALT-DELETE 2020 and Start Afresh.

“Learn from yesterday, live for today…..”

2020 was a year like no other. 

It’s been challenging, to say the least for so many folks out there and truly magnified just how unpredictable and unwritten life is.

Some of the most notable words and phrases being thrown around, sum up 2020 to a T, Terrible! Here’s a few of the highlights, deemed most revealing of people’s experiences, thoughts and feels:

From relentless to surreal, lost, exhausting, quarantine, disjointed, nightmare, doom scrolling, broken dreams, surreal, limbo, stifling, ugh!

To phrases like,“I can’t breathe”  and a “television show that never knows when to end.”

But not all was doom and gloom, for transformative, perseverance, self-sacrifice and Black Lives Matter  were also expressed as a glimmer of positivity and hope.

We’ve been on a mission to roll into 2021 on a positive note, whilst also reflecting on a year that sailed away into the shit storm.

The first step toward positive progression, in almost any situation is to be honest. That means, embracing the reality that we had a tough, bumpy, hell of a year with unyielding upheaval and to note the positives that came out of it.

Whether it be, taking a break from the constant rat race or daily routine, spending time with family and friends, having more time for yourself, to personal accomplishments or just catching up on life and actually putting health first! 

The daily search for mini wins has truly brought out inventiveness and resilience, whilst also benefiting from looking at the world through a different lens. Gaining perspective, flipping a negative to a positive or being inspired to write a blues song, could just be your thang!

“The only thing you sometimes have control over is perspective. You don't have control over your situation. But you have a choice about how you view it.” 

— Chris Pine

“Always turn a negative situation into a positive situation.” 

— Michael Jordan

“Every bad situation is a blues song waiting to happen.” 

— Amy Winehouse

“No matter how hard the past, you can always begin again.”

— Buddha

“With the new day comes new strength and new thoughts.” 

— Eleanor Roosevelt

“Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow.” 

—Albert Einstein

2020 that’s a f**king WRAP. 

12 new chapters await!

Woof Wisdom.

“Be the person your dog thinks you are."

— C.J. Frick

Let’s learn from our pooch pals, even through their wordless wisdom.

They’re never judgemental and their love is boundless. See yourself through your dog's eyes.

Even when we feel at our worst, our dogs still think we’re the best —  so start believing them.

Be awesome, cause your dog thinks so!

"Everything I do is for the 17-yr-old version of myself," Virgil Abloh. Virgil Abloh who saw himself as a "maker" was driven by his dedication to his craft spanning across fashion, art, music/DJing and culture. A true inspiration to us at Calle Del Valle, as well as being a creative force and trailblazer! In Abloh’s world - nothing was exclusive and everything could be connected, whether that was melding the spheres of streetwear and high fashion. Virgil Abloh deeply believed in the power of art to inspire. RIP 🌹 Sept 30, 1980 - Nov 28, 2021 #virgilabloh #restinpeace #calledelvalle

Retro Days of 2020.

Staying at home...

YES.

Why not play the game about the mad year just past.

This lil’ retrofied gem takes us back to the pixelated days of 2019, leading to major global events of 2020.

Whilst home, journey and play through all the events of the 2020 Game, from the Australian Wildfires and save some koala’s while you’re at it, grab a mask and supplies (especially toilet paper), as you pass through Covid-19, survive from getting crushed during the Stock Market Crash, experience going stir crazy during Quarantine and another US Election leading into a post-Trump era, plus more unforgettable events in 80s pixel play.

Dare you to play without getting hooked.

(I’m still trying to get over the Zoom call woes.)
