The Love We Brew | Day 24

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 and this week we are in the home stretch with the last week of February. 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 23: Choose softness where you'd normally choose control.

Day 24

Say No to one thing that drains you

Today's challenge, I said no to punctuality and yes to pause. I lingered in bed an extra hour, fully aware my morning routine would be trimmed down to essentials. It's not the act of getting up that exhausts me. It's the mental checklist waiting on the other side of it. So I let myself melt into the mattress. Eyes closed. News murmuring softly in the background with weather reports n whatever I missed overnight. The sun slowly pressing against the window n peeking through the blinds- like a gentle nudge instead of an alarm. My body stretched instinctively, limb by limb (despite not having been to pilates in 2 months), as if reminding me that rest and responsibility can coexist. I allowed that hour to be unproductive on paper but restorative in spirit. Sometimes discipline looks like movement. Other times, it looks like stillness without guilt.
