Daily Self-Care Practices That Can Change Your Life

(Guest Post by Julie Morris)

They say how you spend your day is how you spend your life. And it’s true! The actions you take every day combine to create the person you are, the things you prioritize, and the values you uphold. When you eat healthily and exercise every day, you become someone who values health. When you set healthy boundaries in your relationships and take the time, with daily self-care, to acknowledge your own needs, you become a person who has the utmost self-respect.

How to Like Yourself First: When Self-Love Feels Too Hard

I often write about self-love and the value there is in loving yourself. What we don’t often discuss is how we get to self-love. In other words, what are the steps to get there when we don’t even feel like we ‘like’ ourselves? This is about answering the question – how to like yourself the way you are?

ECO.Modern Essentials, Mindsets and Making a Difference

When I started on my Personal growth journey I quickly realized that one of the greatest things we can do for ourselves in this life is to learn to love ourselves. Pretty much everything starts right there, and learning to love yourself has everything to do with mindset. With that said, ECO.Modern Essentials has been a massive part of my own self-love journey. Why? Because their oils make me feel loved and supported, spoiled and nurtured and all the good things in between. Let’s be honest, there is something so wonderful about these magical oils that come directly from this beautiful earth we live on. Pure, natural magic! So, doing a review of the new ECO.Modern Essentials Mindset Collection is something I am super excited to do!

Changing Your Focus During The Holiday Season

We look forward to this time of year pretty much as soon as it’s over! It’s that time of the year where everyone is filled with joy and the spirit of giving. But, the Holiday Season can be stressful! Here’s the thing, like most of our stress it is self-inflicted. Why not let go of the fuss and stress and enjoy it for what it is? Enjoy the simplicity of just being with the one’s we love.

7 Benefits of Meditation in My Life

There is so much to be said for having a routine meditation practice. It brings you a sense of calm that, for me, was unattainable until I started meditation. In this blog I want to look at the new perspective I have gained from practicing meditation, the benefits of meditations and what meditation has helped me to understand about life.

When I wrote my blog Top 10 Meditation Tips for Beginners I had been meditating for about 2yr. It had already had major impact on my life after this relevantly short time. In that blog I talk about tips for how to go about meditating. In this blog I want to talk more about the benefits of your meditation practice.

Top 10 Meditation Tips for Beginners

For just over 2 years now I have been practicing a daily meditation

This is something that I considered many, and I mean MANY, years ago but always had a crazy busy mind that just refused to be still. I wish that someone had handed me a list of top 10 meditation tips for beginners back then! But then something clicked in me. I started down this path of self-discovery and self-development which led me very organically to meditation. After practicing meditation for over 2 year I do not consider myself an expert on the subject however I do believe wholeheartedly in the benefits. It has become so important to me that I feel cheated if I go a day without it. The sense of calm and clarity that I get from meditation cannot be achieved through any other methods that I have tried.

There is so much, this post could get a bit long, so I’ve limited it to a select few (with a link to keep scrolling to your hearts desire, at the bottom)

Creating your Future Self

We are so in tune with what we want in life. All the ‘things’. But, how often do we actually consider the who in the big picture of our lives? The who that we are, and the future self that we get to choose. Life is so multi-faceted but, too often, we are living more of a one-dimensional version of the life we should be living. I want to talk about, instead of just accepting life as it is, you consciously decide who your future self is going to be.

Why We Need To Practice Self-Compassion

This blog is intended to help those who need to forgive themselves for being anything ‘less than’. Forgiving our injustices towards ourselves. We set the bar so high for ourselves, don’t you think? And, I know, you could say that’s a good thing. But, the issue here is we often set it too high. Just, just out of reach. And, we set ourselves up for repeated disappoint because of this. This is where the need to practice self-compassion comes in.
