Surround yourself every day with the objects & experiences that make you happy to be you
“GET INTO THE HABIT OF ASKING YOURSELF
“DOES THIS SUPPORT THE LIFE I’M TRYING TO CREATE?””
I care. I care so very much. Many years ago, I started to create a list of the items that I want or need to purchase. And instead of running out and immediately buying what was on that list I choose to wait. I wait for the perfect item to show itself to me. By taking the time to allow space, I am able to choose things that I fall in love with. I choose what gives meaning and value to me. Ultimately by doing so I surround myself with more than just stuff. I surround myself with the reflection of my ever evolving self.
By setting an intention that I am deciding to wait for that perfect piece….such as art that I intend to hang on my laundry room wall….I know that when I fall in love with the painting I will know that it is mine. And when I find that special treasure I hold onto it like a woman with a life jacket on the Titanic! Pretty darn hilarious!!
“GET RID OF EVERYTHING THAT DOESN’T MAKE YOU HAPPY & FOCUS YOUR ATTENTION ON THE THINGS THAT DO” -DAILY QUOTES
I consciously make my home authentically mine. Some of the time I have no intention to even replace something at all and I just stumble upon the most flawless find ever. Isn’t it cool to think that we have so much creative control in our day to day. I believe that a good dose of minimalism is healthy for everyone. Surround yourself with the things that make you most like yourself…. Love the things that make you unique… Do the things that light a fire in your heart & soul. Do your belongings bring you joy and make your heart jump? And if it doesn’t then keep it on the list. You may just find the most beautiful drinking glasses the next time that you are out and about that would make you smile every time you pour yourself a water.
“Life Is A Balance Of Holding On And Letting Go” -KUSHANDWISDOM
Living my life in this way has brought me so much more gratitude and fulfillment. For example, I get so much enjoyment watering my plants because I waited until I found the perfect water pitcher to water them with. It literally took me over a year to stumble across a pitcher that was aligned with expressing my own style. Now every time that I use it it carries meaning.
By expressing your true self You will in turn start to feel more comfortable and at ease. Your heart will soften and relax with the sense of comfort. I just want your life to be like a warm hug every single day.
I just like what I like and this does make me so happy!
Enjoy your day & smile often-Jessica
” To live content with small means- to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion, to be worthy, not respectable, and wealthy, not rich- to study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly, to listen to stars and birds, babes and sages, with open heart- to bear all cheerfully- do all bravely, await occasions- never hurry; in a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious, grow up through the common. This is to be my symphony. -William Ellery Channing
