Life Lately: 6 things that are inspiring me

Hi, friends! Lately I have been leaning into slower moments—the ones that allow for a little more breathing room and peace throughout the day. Between work, routines, the holiday season approaching, and now wedding planning (future blog post to come), I’ve realized how important it is to pause and notice the things around me that are actually shaping my happiness. I wanted to use this as an opportunity to share some things that have been inspiring me in hopes that they may inspire you as well!

1. Doing a Sunday reset – I may be late to the game with this one, but I just recently discovered how amazing it is to truly reset on a Sunday. I’m talking about clean sheets, an everything shower, skincare, gas tank filled up, lunches prepped—the whole nine yards. AND having enough time to relax—talk about perfection. It sets the tone for an entirely different week.

2. A good outfit on a random Tuesday – One thing about me: if I like my outfit, my entire day shifts. When you look good, you feel good, and you show up better. Simple as that.

3. Seeing growth happen quietly – It’s so easy to compare yourself when we live in a world where social media is a highlight reel. But lately I’ve reminded myself that growth is not always loud or visible. Sometimes it’s taking a step back and practicing a little gratitude for where you are right now. It counts, and it means you are evolving.

4. Reorganizing an area of my life – Take this as your sign to go clean out that junk drawer or reorganize your hoodies or sweaters. I’m not saying you need a full home makeover, but wow—a quick refresh of one space is an instant mood booster.

5. The idea that “future me” will thank me – There is nothing more motivating than showing up for the version of me I’m becoming. I know my future self will be grateful that I followed through, especially when it comes to movement, routines, and self-discipline.

6. Slow mornings (when I can get them) – Coffee, quiet, and not rushing. Even ten minutes to myself completely changes my day. Some mornings I enjoy making coffee at home and just sitting on the couch for a few extra minutes before heading to work—and those small pockets of time mean more than I realized.

I’ve been listening to a podcast for years now (The Wellness Cafe by Trinity Tondeleir), and she talks about all things health, wellness, lifestyle, and girl talk. If this post resonated with you in some way, you would love her podcast. She has a massive following of women who are into the same vibes and she shares similar messages about building a life that is meaningful and intentional.

Until next time - here’s to finding the joys in your everyday!

Xoxo,
