the hot girls guide to a mindful morning ʚ♡ɞ

1 ~ drink water. rehydrate that gorgeous body of yours.

2 ~ bless your ears with morning meditations, affirmations, podcasts or music. something to peacefully ease you into the transition from sleep to wake. have a moment of mindfulness and appreciation before the day ahead.

3 ~ open your curtains and spend a moment outside to greet the sun and thank her for bringing you this beautiful day.

4 ~ do some soft stretching or exercises. morning yoga, gentle pilates, or even just a nice, big, open hearted stretch. do this wherever you feel most comfortable, preferably with mother nature.

5 ~ if you are a morning shower type of girl, now would be the time to get naked baby ! visualise as the shower washes away any nasties, it also washes away any negative energy. step out of the shower feeling emotionally lighter and energised.

6 ~ skincare time lovely ! do your skincare in any way that your skin loves. ice facials or rollers feel absolutely amazing as a refreshing start to your day. i love listening to beauty/self love subliminals or affirmations as i do this.

7 ~ prepare yourself a scrumptious meal, and i mean meal. smoothies and coffees are drinks to be consumed in conjunction with your meal, not as a meal of its own. get some food in that sexy little belly of yours ! don’t hesitate to eat whatever your body is craving. listen to your body and her needs. if that means cake for breakfast, so be it.

8 ~ journal. prioritise adding a step of emotional self care into your morning routine. this doesn’t have to be time consuming. if you are a busy woman, simply write your daily intentions e.g ‘today i would like to learn something new’. write something to give your day purpose and direction.

9 ~ dress in something that makes you feel delicious and fabulous. consider fashion a friend that will remind you of who you are, and how good you feel and look throughout the day.

10 ~ if you feel inclined to do your hair and makeup, go ahead ! if not, that’s perfectly fine too ! wether you decide to or not, admire yourself in the mirror, check your stunning self out, do a dance, take a pic ( or 100 ), blow yourself a kiss, and you’re good to go !

have a great day beautiful girls xoxo

October eve in New Mexico is beautiful. I have coffee, earlier Rabbit made French toast for breakfast, I have the cat curled up on me, and briefly the heater came on because it’s cool enough to cuddle up in blankets. Happiness.

I'm enough for me. If that isn't enough for you, please go refill your cup elsewhere. Christina told Meredith that "he's not the sun, you are." Her friend wasn't being mean when she said that. She told Meredith this because Meredith needed the reminder in a vague way that: you can't let a man eclipse the light that you were meant to shine. He's not the sun because he doesn't make up the core of who she is at her own person. You can't allow another person to change who you are from the inside out. More than that you should never want to.

Christina. I get it now. Many years too late, but I get it.

La creacion es un constante cambio energetico. Lo que comemos se convierte en energia, y luego en alimento de otros seres vivos. Todos los seres vivos necesitamos unos de otros. Para mi, es la mejor lección de humildad que nos da El Creador...

Todays reflection question was “will I adhere to the rhythm that I have?”.

First thing that I wanted to write was like “at first I need to have one”. Further inspection showed that actually I have one.

It is flaky, but it is present.

I do wake up in the morning and have the routine present to start the day. I do go to gym (whenever I can walk of course 🤕😅 ), I do day planning and make reflections on daily(some times 2day) basis.

More over, thing that I got most proud was that I succeed in restoring rhythm every time it breaks. And Im becoming better and better with it. It takes less and less effort to make it.

This thought gave me a second wind feeling.

It would be better not to break it at all at first glance, but that was false goal. Way to idealistic, suitable only for world that I was taught live in childhood.

As recently discovered quote of Epictetus:

— You become what you give your attention to.

I have become more resilient in my routines. I have learned to rebuild with ease things that break apart. And the main difference is that they will always break. It is 2-nd law of thermodynamics. Having this practice many times I will be able to restore them with near zero effort. I think - this is resilience.

I start to question of idea of discipline. Is it just deep bound routine ?
