something that feeds your spirit.
Meditate, read, go for a walk...
Don’t make the first thing you do
before you get out of bed to grab
your phone and check your email.
If you start your day with a sense of
calm, you can set precedent for the
tone of the rest of your day.
7. SAY A POSITIVE AFFIRMATION
ALOUD EVERY MORNING.
Seems cheesy. But it works. Every
morning, look in the mirror, say
a positive affirmation. Start your
morning that way and it will affect
the attitude you choose for the day.
8. CARVE OUT TIME EVERY
DAY TO FEED A PASSION.
Make it a daily habit to carve time
out to do something that feeds
a passion or builds on your personal development. Write, doodle,
make something with your hands,
dance... It’s easy to get caught up
in the minutia of every day. If you
need to, schedule that time in
your calendar. If you woke up half
an hour earlier and slept half an
hour later each day to feed a side
project, by the end of the year,
you’d have over two extra full
weeks spent doing something that
is soul enriching.

before bed. Make that ritual of
gratitude be the last thing you do
before you sleep.
You’ve been through
enough life situations and
met enough people to give
your intuition the trust
and respect it deserves.”
10. THE PERSON IN FRONT
OF YOU IS MORE IMPORTANT
THAN YOUR PHONE.
As someone who prides yourself
on having good manners, since
when did it become normalized to
check your phone in the middle
of a conversation? We’ve become
so accustomed to racing to react
to the sound of a new message or
email coming in, that we forget
that such constant “connection”
is what’s disconnecting us more
than ever. Remind yourself that
the email can wait. Your Instagram followers will understand if
you don’t post that photo of our
