The Love We Brew | Day 17

A 28-Day Practice in Intention, Presence, and Care

If you are new here...Welcome. I've decided to commit to 28 days of small and intentional acts of love. The rules and ideas are here. I've been on a roll this month n looking forward to continuing to show up for myself to recaliberate some consistency wit content. At this point, I can cut the small chatter. Without further ado...

Recap of Day 16: Step outside and notice five details you usually miss.

Day 17

Choose presence over productivity for one hour

My morning ritual: I choose to do it beautifully by getting up an extra hour a day for a jumpstart. Not extravagantly. Not performatively. Just beautifully. The way I ease into my slow mornings is proof that presentation shifts posture. The good robe or caftan every time starts the day. The mug of choice chosen intentionally as the first hard choice of the day is...what am I in the mood for? The blinds are wide open to let the light stretch across the floor before I do. I love the sunrise and morning glow. When I treat the ordinary with care, the results follow suit. My thoughts feel more organized when I sit still, my mood steadier with jazz in the background, my direction clearer after taking a glance at my planner. Beauty, when applied intentionally, sets the tone before the world ever gets a say. Gentle Reminder: that how I begin often determines how I carry the day. The presence of just being for an hour-game changer n the standard has been set with this practice...best served warm n snuggled.
