Of course, all of the things I've listed above can and should be a part of my lifestyle all year round, but I find it is easier to keep these things top of mind during February. We live in such a fast-paced world, so it is incredibly easy to forget to make room for inspiration in our lives. In my opinion, inspiration is what makes life magical, so it is an essential ingredient to living a fulfilled life. I am excited to embrace the different moods of each season and seek out more muses each month. Life is too short to not make time for the things we love, no matter how simple or elaborate they might be.
And in an effort to celebrate this one life we are given, here is a small list of indulgences that bring me joy. I hope they do the same for you.
- Drinking tea while burning a candle - it's simple and free
- Reading a magazine to wind down
- Walking around a neighborhood with cobblestone streets - there is something so charming about them. It's great to do while catching up with a friend or while listening to a podcast
- Watching a thought-proving video, show or movie - Parasite is next on my list.
- Putting on red lipstick and a cute outfit
- Drinking a smoothie after a killer pilates class
- Wearing lingerie or silky PJs while lounging around - it honestly just makes me feel 1000xs more confident. I love Adore Me and Asos because they both offer a large selection of lingerie for women with fuller busts and at an affordable rate. P.S. - The links below are affiliate links.
Are there any indulgences that you incorporate into your routine every February? If so, I'd seriously like to know in the comments below. I know Valentine's Day can suck if you are single, but I'm really starting to love my alone time. So whether you have a romantic evening planned with your boo, are having a night with friends and family, or are treating yourself to a lovely solo dinner at home while watching your favorite new show, there is always something to look forward to on a date that celebrates love. Self-love is the best type of love anyway. Cultivating unconditional self-love is the only way we will ever experience a full-life, and I am excited to continue nurturing my relationship with myself. I know you are too. Thank you for taking a moment to read this post; your support means so much to me. Until next time my friend - wishing you all the love, happiness and joy this month.
February Mood Board
February 6, 2018
So far, 2018 has felt ... weird. I'm not exactly sure why, but I know I want to be more present than I was in January. I'll admit that I was in a daze in January, but I refuse to let life keep passing me by. I’m a little in shock that it’s already February. There’s a lot I should focus on this month. But honestly, I already need a mini vacation. So this month, I’m focusing on two things: celebrating any and every obstacle I overcome (no matter how small it is) and checking my judgmental attitude at the front door. I want to judge myself and others waaaayyy less than I do. Should I eat cleaner and stop binge-watching Netflix shows after a long day of work? Yep, but like I said, I really need a vacation and self-forgiveness for my slip-ups. That's why I’m channeling flow and ease this month. I'm still going to push myself to keep moving towards my goals, but I'm finally accepting that my timeline might not be the same as God's timeline. Great things take time, and we are allowed to take pit stops on our journey towards our dreams. Less stress and more fun! That sounds like a much better life than stress, stress, stress and a little bit of fun every now and then. It's all just a balancing act, and once we find the right balance between work and play, we'll feel more aligned and have more energy to get the important things done. It just takes time to figure it out. Afterall "perseverance is a great substitute for talent" - Steve Martin
So now I want to hear from you! What are you guys focusing on this month? No matter what goals you set for yourself, I know you'll create the magical life you want. You know you deserve it. And I can't thank you enough for taking time out of your day to read this little note from me. Wishing you a day full of flow, ease and happiness! Until next time.
