  • Today is my last day of vacation before heading back to work! While my answer was typically ā€˜Iā€™m not doing anything excitingā€™, I feel like that narrative grew old even as I kept saying it. Rest. Is. Productive. (Repeat that as often as you need) Running yourself completely down, saying yes to everything and being busy all the time donā€™t always catch up with you right away, but it does. After jam packing my first week of vacation, I took a lot of time my second week to just take it easy and rest. I went to the chiro, had a therapy appointment, spent time sleeping in and reading books. I went to the spa alone (something I would have never done before) and went to the gym. And Iā€™m so much better for it. Fill your own cup first (not with the idea that you canā€™t pour from an empty cup, but simply because you owe it to yourself to live life with a full cup ā˜ŗļø)

  • Did you know this week is Climate Week! šŸŒæ Incorporating sustainable products and practices into my routines is something Iā€™ve been working harder on this year. Some of the ways I do that are by using reusable containers, recycling (and up cycling!), shopping locally, and of course, choosing Flow water. šŸ’¦ @flow operates through carbon neutral practices, and their packaging is 100% recyclable! Some of their water stewardship practices include land management and minimal sustainable usage (which means they ensure their springs will last for generations to come)! The water you choose matters, and when it comes to choosing Flow I know Iā€™m making the right choice to choose water that is healthier for both me and the planet! What are some of the sustainable practices you incorporate into your everyday life (Iā€™m always looking for ideas)? You can use my code CYNSPO20 to save 20% off to make the switch to a more sustainable alkaline water, or click the link in my bio to check out their site! šŸŒæšŸŒžšŸ’¦šŸŒ»ā™»ļø #inFlowencer #climateweek

  • I truthfully didnā€™t want to celebrate my birthday this year (which is very unlike me if youā€™ve ever met me). I felt an overwhelming amount of anxiety and resentment for what I knew people were going to say, which is normally what everyone says on your birthday. ā€œYouā€™ve grown so muchā€ ā€œYouā€™ve come so farā€ It wasnā€™t until I sat with myself and asked myself why this would be the worst thing in the world that I understood these feelings: I didnā€™t want to hear about how much I had grown because I felt like I hadnā€™t done enough. Personal growth is a funny little thing like that, where no matter how much growing youā€™ve done, thereā€™s always something left to do. I felt like I had done the big things - moving out, starting therapy, choosing to work on myself, but I hadnā€™t come far enough yet. I didnā€™t feel like the work I put in was good enough. Not yet at least. I sat with this feeling for most of the day, until I thought about it some more. I thought about what a disservice I was doing to myself, someone who had worked so hard to confront and change the things that were no longer serving me. What a disservice I was doing to not acknowledge the changes, sacrifices and growth I had made, when I had set out and exceeded any previous expectations I held for myself. What a disservice I was doing to myself for waiting until I ā€˜completedā€™ my personal growth journey and goals to celebrate. Because the thing is, no matter how far you have left to go, itā€™s so worth celebrating all youā€™ve accomplished. To acknowledge your hard work and perseverance. The destination I thought I would reach once I had ā€˜achievedā€™ all of my personal growth milestones isnā€™t really a destination, but a journey in itself. No matter how far you have left to go, take a look back at how far youā€™ve come. Every step in the right direction was a choice you made. It was you choosing to move yourself forward despite the fear of the unknown, the discomfort you would experience and the versions of yourself you would leave behind. Each day Iā€™m choosing to continue to move myself forward, and much like Iā€™m choosing that, Iā€™m also choosing to celebrate myself every step of the way šŸ’›

  • simple Monday morning things āœØ something Iā€™ve been working on behind the scenes (for myself) is slowing down, living more in the moment, and consciously bringing myself back to the present when I find myself worrying about the future or dwelling on the past. itā€™s a lot harder than I thought it would be, and is something I have to remind myself of several times a day šŸ˜… (sometimes even hourly). behind the scenes of the blog things are a little under construction at the moment! truthfully work is tough at the moment, and itā€™s been hard to balance both the blog and everything else. stay tuned for a few little updates that I canā€™t wait to share, and hopefully get back to a regular content schedule soon ā˜ŗļø

  • last minute packing (because I am the worst and always do this) and then you can find me in this exact spot soaking up some sun ā˜ŗļø Iā€™ve been playing around with taking more video content (since IG announced itā€™s no longer primarily a photo sharing app), and I have to say itā€™s definitely a new challenge. my comfort zone lies in taking photos - anyone else? šŸ¤Ŗ happiest of Sundays to all of you & I hope you enjoy the sunshine ā˜€ļø
