The second half has been violent daily storms that make the sky look like something out of a sci-fi movie. I’m just remembering to get my walks in early during the day so I can be home for dinner and a storm in the evening. 

🌿 Spotted some rainbow flares on a walk through the woods. 

🌿 Saw the cutest little guy walking around downtown Celebration. 

🌿 I love all the nature and architecture in Winter Park. 

🌿 Happy Mermaid week!

We have a little over a month left of spring and I We have a little over a month left of spring and I plan to spend it intentionally enjoying so much of what this season has to offer. April was a whirlwind of family emergencies and stress so this May, I’ve really been taking the time to slow down, live in the moment, and focus on joy. Every season I have a hygge bucket list of things I want to do at least once (but usually often) during that season. So many people write down and prioritize goals for their career or their body but it’s important to also create goals around your mental health and well being. 

How To Enjoy Hygge This Spring: 

🌷  Explore your neighborhood. 
🌷 Visit a botanical garden. 
🌷 Gift plants to your friends and neighbors.
🌷 Learn a new iced drink recipe.
🌷 Start a garden (or get one new plant).
🌷 Have a picnic. 
🌷 Eat seasonal vegetables and fruit.
🌷 Play an outdoor sport. 
🌷 Enjoy the natural light in your home.
🌷 Read on a hammock or bench outside. 
🌷Donate items you aren’t using often.
🌷Go to the farmer’s market.
🌷Do something creative.

How do you plan to enjoy the last month of spring this year?

Give Yourself the Space to Grow

During the first few months of the year, we are bombarded with messages about self improvement. I have no problem admitting that this time of year inspires me but I know it can be overwhelming for many people. This is why it’s crucial to be patient with yourself when you are working hard towards a personal goal.

When a plant is growing it needs to be nourished, it needs sunlight, it needs time, and it needs space. As humans, we are no different. We need to be nourished with the right food and given the time to fully see the results of balanced nutrition. We need to spend time outside in the sun, with nature. We need time and space to explore different ways to grow and improve. Rome wasn’t built in a day is a cliche, but it’s true. You need time and space to create a masterpiece.

If you want to be the best version of yourself, you need to give yourself the space to explore what that even means for you. At the end of the day, you decide what makes you the best version of yourself. Tune out the overwhelming messages about self improvement and focus on what is important to you. Where do you want to improve? Who do you want to be? What steps do you need to take to become that elevated version of yourself?

The beginning of the year is a great time to refocus your goals, set new ones, and focus on self improvement. Just remember that self improvement isn’t a race and no one is boxing you in when it comes to what you can accomplish. Give yourself the time and space you need and there will be no limits to how far you will grow.
