We are renovating a house + moving into the country! As the interior designer, I have been navigating the array of choices by turning inwards and asking, "How do I want to feel in this space?"

The journey has been amazing. When we ask ourselves the right choices, the decisions become so clear.

How is your sleep wellness? This episode is calming + beautiful to listen to with so many tips + tricks to improve your rest + relaxation!

Set up your bedroom sanctuary

Create a wind-down routine to prepare for deep sleep

Quotes:

Prioritizing good sleep is good self-love - Danielle Laporte

Self-care is a divine priority - Danielle Laporte

Relax“Meditation is a state, often defined as deep dreamless sleep awake. But, in the same way that you cannot sleep on demand, you cannot meditate on demand—that is, you can’t reach the state instantly in the same way that you can raise your right hand. The practices preceding meditation are relaxation, stillness and mental focus. Those are all things you can do. They are the preparation. Then, if you the circumstances are right, you can transition from the waking to the meditative state.”

― Gudjon Bergmann - Shift your mind to a state of calm with Yoga before bed.

Get cozy + enjoy this expansive + inspiring episode. (You might even find yourself decluttering + bringing those luxurious minimalism vibes into your home today.)

I have been on a journey of decluttering my space, Today I'm sharing about the process, the pleasure + the joy I feel daily as a result. Less mess = a sense of spaciousness, more time, deeper calm + true contentment.

How have you been feeling at home?

Would you say that the energy is flowing? Or does it feel stagnant?

“The space in which we live should be for the person we are becoming now, not for the person we were in the past.”

-Marie Kondo

Highlights:

Create spaciousness + beauty using what you have.

Home as a reflection of who you are + the life you aspire to live.

Enjoy a healing experience from the comfort of home. A sensory wisdom-full session to enjoy through your earbuds.

Pour some tea, get cozy + comfortable, settle in.

We talk about coming home to ourselves. Clearing the decks… releasing old patterns + blocks that are keeping us stuck.

Let's use this time of stillness + quarantine to really use our time wisely, to replace boredom for taking the reins to create something that is in sync with our values.

Quotes -

“Reality doesn't impress me. I only believe in intoxication, in ecstasy, and when ordinary life shackles me, I escape, one way or another. No more walls.” ― Anaïs Nin

“Be where you are. Look around. Just look, don't interpret. See the light, shapes, colors, textures. Be aware of the silent presence of each thing. Be aware of the space that allows everything to be.”

― Eckhart Tolle

“When you surrender to what is and so become fully present, the past ceases to have any power. The realm of Being, which had been obscured by the mind, then opens up. Suddenly, a great stillness arises within you, an unfathomable sense of peace. And within that peace, there is great joy. And within that joy, there is love. And at the innermost core, there is the sacred, the immeasurable, That which cannot be named.”

― Eckhart Tolle

A new season ~ February 14, 2025

I posted a photo in my Instagram stories the other night. It was a photo of my soak and a candle lit… with these words captioned in neon font--

“This is the place I go to feel what I am feeling.” And my cheeks were wet with tears. But it was a moment with myself. And it was beautiful. I needed it.

Take time for you.

The bath has become something spiritual for me. Soaking in the water is where my answers come to the questions I repeat in my mind, And I create that stillness to hear it.

So that night I was feeling a really deep pain. Grieving life as we knew it, and then thinking of some of the things that I wished I hadn’t taken for granted while the world was still normal.

This is how I’ve been feeling and it’s the inspiration for this episode.

Today our focus on gratitude.

Enjoy a blissful guided session. Feel more. Light, presence, connection, and deepest gratitude.

Sunday Self Love home practice questions:

With true presence + compassion, ask yourself...

What am I missing right now? What/who am I grieving?

And what do I still have? What would I miss if it were taken away? What do I still have?

“Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.”

A new season ~ February 14, 2025

Bringing comfort to your heart, mind + nervous system.

Redirecting our energy to hold space for ourselves and those who need us. Especially in these times of worry + unrest.

(Nature as a metaphor.)

"A tree is rooted + strong, yet it's leaves still dance in the wind. It's branches bend and don't break."

Focus on how you can cultivate your own light + how you can shine it upon others.

“Feelings are magnetic. Each feeling is a beacon that attracts a reality. Love attracts love. Generosity elicits a generous response. Anger creates more things that could make you even angrier if you let them. What we focus on expands, so choosing to focus on life-affirming feelings is the surest way to create the experience that you want.”

-Danielle Laporte

"Please let me feel inner peace

From my center from the center of me." - words by Beautiful Chorus

On repeat:

I am strong. I am safe. I am secure. I make beautiful choices. I take care of the ones I love. I do what I can in this moment. I do not let worry distract me.

Reflection / journal prompts:

1.Think of the person who makes you feel safe in any storm. How do they make you feel safe, held and secure? In what ways did they hold space for you?

2.Think of someone who could use some positivity today. How can you help? How can you send them your love from afar?

What is your relationship with Self-love?

"When we feel happy, we radiate our light onto other people. When we feel depleted, we give that off too. It's an energy thing. Self-care isn't selfish. It is vital for ourselves, our nervous system and our relationships." - Stephanie Johnston, The Goddess Gatherings

Episode highlights:

-Ideas (Selflove rituals)

-Bringing luxe spa vibes into the home

-Body love

-Nordic Spas

-Self-reflection exercises

-A chance to win a pass to our Spring Series at Saje Wellness, Moncton NB

(Your choice of Morning Rituals, Evening Rituals, Creating Sacred Space at Home)

Words:

“Self-care is never a selfish act - it is simply good stewardship of the only gift I have, the gift I was put on earth to offer others. Anytime we can listen to true self and give the care it requires, we do it not only for ourselves but for the many others whose lives we touch.”

― Parker Palmer

Self Reflection prompts from the episode:

(Tip! Answer all questions with honesty + detail.)

1. In this episode, I shared how I visit the spa every 6 - 8 weeks. What was your initial reaction? Examples may be: "That's selfish!" "I would love to do that!" or, "I wish I had time + money for this!"

2. List places that bring you peace. Some examples: The beach, a luxe Hotel, a Bed + Breakfast, an art gallery, or the spa.

3. Refer to question #2... How much would this cost to incorporate this into my life on the regular? (Set your goal - have something to look forward to.)

4.On a scale of one to ten. One being calm + ten being overwhelmed...Where are you on the scale? (Awareness is the first step.)

Have a beautiful week! See you next Sunday

Deep Thanks for listening to 'A Sunday Kind of LOVE.'
