♡ an idea from me
You are absolutely capable of creating a life you can't stop thinking about, but you have to get started.
Because change doesn't happen instantly—there is a lag. The period when you're doing the work but not yet experiencing the benefits (James Clear calls it “the valley of disappointment”) is frustrating and causes many people to quit before they reach their goal.
So start today. Start messy, start imperfect, but start. Being ready is a decision, not a feeling.

♡ my latest hyperfixation
Romanticizing life in small but meaningful ways, as a method for preventing seasonal depression (preferably before it has us in a chokehold.) Here are some ideas I love…
Buy yourself flowers (Trader Joe's has the best value)
Use a festive seasonal mug for your coffee or tea
Put flavored whipped cream on your coffee at home
Play music that puts you in a great mood
Mail handwritten cards/postcards to your favorite people
Cozify your living space with soft textiles, non-toxic candles, fairy lights, switch out seasonal decor
Snuggle up with a spicy book
Write a love letter to the past or future version of yourself
Write positive affirmations on sticky notes, put them on mirrors and say them aloud often
Skip the wine (she's a fake friend) and opt instead for drinks that love you back.. like kombucha, a cup of tea, an alcohol-free Cosmopolitan in a can (for your inner Carrie), or hot water with lemon
If all else fails, at least there's a new season of Queer Eye on Netflix
♡ book club
Since we are getting into Valentine's Day territory, this month's pick is…
♡ snatch your mindset
Affirmations are most effective when spoken aloud and often.
