Date night 🎼

[microseed]

Today is my first time taking advantage of my AWA since June. It’s been a journey learning to put myself first.. letting go of chores that need to be done and people who are in my thoughts.

Today is a me day. I am going to practice being intentional and listening to my body. 🌟

A little reminder to myself to take breaks and soak in that warm air.

The power of writing it down

So it’s been a while since I’ve consistently wrote here, and only now I’m realizing the power of writing things down and how beneficial blogging has been for me. I use to blog to vent or say what’s on my mind but actually, blogging has made me a better person. 

I haven’t been making time for myself; I’ve been neglecting my needs and falling into the pattern of just living - I would like to slow down and reflect on my actions, my direction, and live more of a positive life. 

au recommencer!

Conversation Lessons of Tonight

It’s ok to just want to be “still” and not constantly grow, achieve and succeed.

Just because the voice in your head is constantly talking, doesn’t mean you need to listen to it.

There are people who see and recognize your hard work even if you don’t think so.

Le sujet de la semaine: Le Bonheur

<Le vrai bonheur ne dépend d’aucun être, d’aucun objet extérieur. Il ne dépend que de nous.> (Dalai Lama)

Je trouve que cette citation est vraiment pertinente. Dans une société de consommation, nous achetons des choses dont nous pensons qu’elles nous rendront heureux. Nous verrons quelqu’un avec une belle robe et nous la voudrons. Nous comparerons notre vie à quelqu'un d'autre et nous souhaiterons que notre vie soit meilleure. Nous regardons/voulons toujours quelqu’un ou quelque chose mais nous oublions de regarder dedans nous-mêmes.  

Le vrai bonheur est difficile à retenir. Il est difficile à retenir parce que nous avons tellement de distractions et d’influences dans nos vies qu’il est difficile de se concentrer uniquement sur soi. Et quand nous le faisons, nous nous concentrons généralement sur le mal, ou comment nous pouvons l’améliorer – ne jamais se concentrer sur le moment et la formidable qualité de notre vie.  

Comme la citation : <Rappelez-vous que ne pas obtenir ce que vous voulez est parfois un coup de chance merveilleux.> (Dalai Lama)  

Je voudrais me rappeler que la vie est belle et tout ce qui n’est pas obtenu est une opportunité d’apprendre quelque chose. La vie est comme un parcours; si nous avons reçu tout instantanément, notre parcours serait très ennuyeux et court.

It’s my first blog post in french, and on top of that, it’s the first one that has meaning to me and not about describing my weekend or complaining about my fake broken washing machine. It may not be perfect or even makes sense but I wrote it and I wrote it in french :) 

A proud moment and un moment de bonheur.

True happiness does not depend on any being, on any external object. It only depends on us.

During times of uncertainty, I would like to remind myself of something I am grateful for: My morning routine.

5:30am:  Spend time with JM - make coffee, dance, chat before he starts his day. 

6:30am: Spend time with Lexie - feed, walk and play with her before she takes her first nap. 

7:30am: Spend time with myself - move my body, fuel myself and get ready for my day.

I need to remind myself that this time is so special for myself and the ones around me. I may not have everything figured out but I do have a wonderful morning routine, and for now, that should be celebrated.
