Have you heard the lyrics from that wonderful song, "Another Day," from the Broadway musical, RENT? In this episode, first cousins Cristina and Francesca take a very deep dive into the concept of living with, and letting go of, the actual concept of regret-and how we may actually be able to accomplish this great feat. We also take a dip into what this means in your living space (!) Join us as we learn to live and let live together-with an easy, don't-look-back "Tiny Tidy" from Francesca, and an absolutely excellent, releasing meditation from Cristina. 

And please make sure that you stick around until the very end....You won't regret it ;-)

(Here's that hot pink dress of Cristina's! Should she get it? Will she regret it?)

A Foundation by definition "supports from underneath" or is "an underlying basis or principle".  Our homes have foundations but so do our bodies, minds, and souls. How we live is a reflection of who we are.  And what we believe makes us who we want to be.  In this episode, Francesca and Cristina examine not only what makes a house a home, but also, the foundational values we each carry within us.  

To examine your foundational values, check out this interesting, free survey from The VIA Institute on Character

What do you do when life throws you such curveballs, it feels near impossible not to start letting your anxiety get the best of you? The R.A.I.N. Strategy (R-Recognize; A-Accept; I-Investigate; N-Nurture-or Non-Identify) is a mindfulness technique and strategy developed by Michelle McDonald to help you remind yourself that YOU are not your emotions-no matter what life situation you are experiencing in the moment. In this episode, Cristina and Francesca discuss different ways in which you can apply the R.A.I.N. technique to stressful, uncomfortable happenings in our everyday life-from screaming toddlers in the kitchen, to larger-scale, scary life events. Francesca has a relaxing "Tiny Tidy" for you to enjoy and utilize, and Cristina has a great meditation to help get you in the right space to practice this technique-anytime, anywhere....Join us!  Check out what Cristina's friend was inspired by in Episode 1, and the "Boxed Breathing" Technique in Episode 6.  Visit Francesca's website and sign up for her newsletter and find more Tiny Tidy challenges: houseandmind.com Visit Cristina's website for yoga and mediation whenever you need it: cristinacurreri.com Thank you for listening!

Cristina and Francesca sit down to chat about how you can make your life better for yourself, today, for your "tomorrow" self. They also take a deeper dive into the concepts behind what "manifesting" really means. Is it possible to visualize the life you really want? Maybe, they realize, it begins with feeling as if what you want is already yours-today. 

We also have a special mediation for Manifesting Your Future Self, and a "Tiny Tidy" your future self will thank you for!

Hang out with Cristina and Francesca as they chat further about what they really want their Post-Pandemic lives to look and feel like. What are we going to wear? Do we really have to go back to the office? Are we ready to travel? Get our kids dressed again? (Get ourselves dressed again?) How are we going to negotiate, well, being around all those other people again? 

We also have a special meditation and visualization to help prepare for this new existence and ease our Post-Pandemic anxiety, as well as a "Tiny Tidy," to help get your wardrobe (or part of it!) ready for being baaaack in action. (Or not!)

Do you suffer from Fear of Missing Out?  Are you unable to say no to an invitation? Does staying in on a Friday night give you hives? Maybe there are others out there who are feeling a tremendous sense of relief at not having to be everywhere, all of the time. What are you not doing that brings you Joy?  Cristina and Francescas explore all of the things they won't miss, and everything that they have gained, by having more time and space to do what they want, when they want, with the people that they love to be around. We also have a special mediation and a "Tiny Tidy" around creating space for just letting yourself feel joy in the moment.

As we come to the tail end of this COVID-19 Pandemic, Cristina and Francesca ask ourselves: What do we want to keep from the Before Times, and what do we want to change? What do we feel like we can lose, and what can we add-to change and make our lives more meaningful, less stressful, and more relaxed and fulfilled? 

Join us for a very fun conversation as we talk about how the Pandemic has affected our social lives, our family, our anxiety level (!)- and discuss how we think we can all move forward in "the After." Also, enjoy a "Tiny Tidy" to help you prepare for your new "social" life, and a special meditation, which will help you allow for whatever comes next...

Where are you on your "To-Do" list?  Like the flight attendants always announce before take off, "Secure your mask first, and then assist others". Why can't we remember that in life?  In this episode, Cristina and Francesca share some of the ways that they practice self-care, and it's not your usual bubble bath and glass of Chardonnay. (Spoiler: It includes visiting a Salt Cave!)

Weight isn't just reflected on the scale in our bathrooms.  It's also the different types of weight we carry, emotionally and psychologically, that can carry us down, and even manifest itself in our homes. Family, relationships, job stress- we often carry other people's problems around with us, along with our own challenges, hopes, dreams, stressors and responsibilities. And what about that heaviness we feel when we are getting lost in our own homes-because of clutter, junk, old stuff, memorabilia, loved one's items, unfinished projects...?

In this episode, Cristina and Francesca talk about ways to "lose" this type of weight, as well as a special meditation and a "Tiny Tidy" to help lighten up your home, and help you store some of that excess, emotional baggage, and assist you in the desire to set yourself free from it!
