23 Affirmations To Simplify
23 Affirmations To Simplify
Earlier this week I reflected back on the year, and like calm cool breeze passing over me, I had a revelation.
It’s time to simplify. Warren and I are both somewhat ambitious. I can’t think of a time where we haven’t been traveling like crazy or juggling events or projects or our small businesses. We both love the feeling of setting a goal, making it happen, and blowing that thang out the water.
2020 however, even before the quarantine, felt different. We were coming off a crazy amazing 2019, and it seemed as if there was no letting up… until the first renovation cancelled all my little plans. That should have been a sign haha
To say the least, Corona has radically changed our lives, and I find myself trying to wrap my head around what the future looks like in the times of corona. Whenever I try to start planning, there I am coming back to the same thought, simplify.
The life we built was very much tailored to pre-corona comforts and opportunities, and now, everything is constantly changing in ways we haven’t seen before. So, it’s important to take a step back, embrace this new stretch of the journey, and be genuinely open to new ways of building a life we love.
Before we get started, let’s do a quick exercise. Jot down the top 5 things you’ve enjoyed most since the pandemic hit back in March. This might sound odd, but to me, these 5 things are my new anchors and things we’ve enjoyed most in this season. To me, that suggests that they are the things we should do more of as we set a new foundation.
My top 5:
Spending more quality time with friends and loved ones -even if it’s virtually.
Learning how to cook 😅💪🏿👩🏿🍳😂
A return to nature and exploring
Coming up with ideas/ways (mostly diy) to rework and redesign our space
An intentional shift dedicated to more quiet time for self-care mentally/emotionally/spiritually
*And as a bonus, after months of feeling stuck, I’ve finally let myself begin to dream again 🥰
Take a deep breath in, breathe out. Deep breath in, breathe out.
Visualize yourself happy, content, and exactly where you are supposed to be.
