Reflection:
Grand risings, my lovelies, let's briefly recap on day 4. I hope you found your inner self while drawing your self portrait, embracing the strokes of fearless self-expression which was the theme, did the maroon ignite the canvas of your soul.?
Now, we build upon the foundation we've laid:
Start your day off at the crack of dawn with the meditation I provided for you
Bathe daily to wash off negativity and clear your mind, here's my guide to mindful bathing Appearance is important, if you can see yourself looking good, it makes you feel good. So make the effort everyday for yourself. No one else. You.
Be with nature at least once a day. Even if it's having a cuppa in the garden. Sunlight is important. Fresh air is important. Moving your body is important. If you don't, you go stagnant...depressed, stiff, achy.
10 minutes drawing/doodling in silence. Our brains need quiet time. We're not meant to be looking at our screens as much as we do. This is why we feel so overwhelmed. Too much information overload. Step away from the electronics and stop being entertained, learn to entertain yourself.
These are the threads of our daily tapestry. Keep doing these things daily. The more you do it, the easier it becomes and the more enjoyable it is.
Day 5: Illuminating the Everyday
Theme: Radiant Vitality Today, we embody the warmth and brilliance of orange, a color that speaks to the vibrant energy of Brené Brown's teachings. Her words, "You either walk inside your story and own it, or you stand outside your story and hustle for your worthiness," inspire us to infuse life into the mundane and to own our narratives with every chore, every choice.
Color Whispers: Adorn yourself in orange today, my loves, let it be a cloak of joy and a beacon of your inner fire.
Scents: Our journey combines the zest of Sweet Orange Oil with the grounding Cypress, an aromatic duet that energizes and focuses the mind as we embrace our daily rituals. Watch me get ready on my TikTok
Music for the Senses: "Let It Be" by The Beatles harmonizes our day, a timeless anthem of acceptance and peace. It's the melody that will accompany our work, our self-reflection, and our evening meditation.
Creative Activity: Daily 10 minute Homemaking Ritual:
1. Begin with Reflection: As you prepare to clean, take a moment to recall the self-portrait you created yesterday. Envision the colors, the emotions, and the essence of your inner self. Hold onto this image; it will guide you through today's task with purpose and intention.
2. Set a Time Limit: Commit to a focused 10-minute cleaning burst. This is a manageable, non-overwhelming window that encourages efficiency without burnout. Set a timer to keep yourself on track.
3. Choose Your Space: Select a specific area or corner of your home that needs attention. It could be a cluttered desk, a messy entryway, or a disorganized shelf. Today, this is your canvas for transformation.
4. Prepare Your Tools: Arm yourself with a trash bag, cleaning supplies, and any organizational tools you might need. Keep it simple, this isn't a deep clean, but a targeted, quick refresh.
5. Dive In: Once your timer starts, work swiftly and decisively. Discard trash, rehome misplaced items, and wipe down surfaces. The goal isn't perfection; it's progress within the 10-minute frame.
6. Daily Kitchen Rituals: Apart from this focused task, maintain your kitchen's cleanliness with daily essentials. Wash dishes, clear counters, and use natural disinfectants like vinegar to keep your space hygienic and fresh.
7. Conclude with Gratitude: After your 10 minutes are up, step back and appreciate the work you've done. Thank yourself for taking this step towards a cleaner, more harmonious home.
By integrating this daily ritual, you infuse homemaking with mindfulness and self-expression, turning a routine chore into a meaningful, soul-nurturing practice.
Evening Echoes: After a day's work of writing a new song and doing some more work on a new song with Braggars, I unwind with the soulful "Make It Rain." It's a meditation, a release, a celebration of the day's work coming to fruition.
Tonight, I invite you to let your voice rise with the raw emotion of "Make It Rain" on Smule. Let this song be a balm for your spirit.
Today, as we interlace the serenity of nature with the vibrancy of self-expression, we create a living masterpiece. Each day, a chapter of our unfolding story, beautifully penned and vividly lived.
With love and tons of unicorn sparkle farts 💨
