Revisiting my post from last week, I think I have stumbled upon my intention for 2018.
Live openly. Live consciously. Live simply.
I know it is much longer than one word, but for me, I think it needs to be. I am looking to deepen a mind, body and spiritual connection within myself and with those around me.
And so here is what these three things mean to me.
Live openly.
Be grateful
Silence my inner critic
Release thoughts/actions that don’t serve me or anyone else
Act with kindness toward others and myself
Try new ideas, foods, experiences
Let go of fear
Lead with my heart
Say I love you
Live consciously.
Move when my body needs to move
See beyond my tunnel vision to take in the FULL picture
Stop when I am full
Rest if I am tired
Breathe before yelling
Live simply.
Spend time with people I love
Donate clothes/items I don’t absolutely love
Try a capsule wardrobe
Turn off my phone/computer
Declutter surfaces
Surround myself with items that lift me up
Give minimalism a go
