Remember to choose love over fear. Keep your vibrations high and stay in alignment. Don’t let them harvest your energy. WE create our reality. Don’t let them distract you. Listen to your intuition. And of course, stay safe. ✨

If you need a break from the constant stream of news, close ur eyes - follow one deep breath in, and out, allowing yourself to just exist w/out doing. #mindfulness #selfcare

Remember to keep your eyes on the prize: the future world you want to build

Don’t drown thinking only of the things you are against

Remember to dream of and work to create what you’re for

Hi friends? Did you know that the word “mindfulness” originally meant “remembering”?

It’s a practice of remembering-

-To return to the present moment when the mind wanders off

-Why we practice in the first place.

I recently moved to a small town and the experience of shopping is totally different. Every shop I went into, the staff were happy to chat, not just sell. They were knowledgeable. They emphasized local products. They were helpful!
