What I've noticed about the happiest women I know. They're not the ones who perfectly or successfully reinvented themselves for every role they stepped into or phase of life they encountered.
They're the ones who figured out how to bring themselves along.
The ones who kept collecting new experiences without letting any single one of them become the entire definition.
Our identity is a core part of who we are, and without it, every aspect of our well-being suffers. So today, the first day of Mental Health Awareness Month, here is what I want for you:
seek out one small thing that reconnects you to who you are.
Not who you're supposed to be or want to be. Just who you actually are at your core. The version that existed before all the titles stacked up.
For me, that one thing is getting back to making my home a home.
I love nesting, decorating, gardening, and adding little touches. I always have! I used to make houses for my fairy garden as a kid.
But between us: I've let so much of that go this year, and I'm really starting to feel it. I've been quietly losing parts of me while recommending better to every single client I work with.
My own organizing systems at home have been neglected because I didn't want to add undue pressure to an already heavy year. My backyard is a weed jungle that I don't even want to go in.
So this month, no more!
I'm chipping away at the piles, the clutter, and the low-grade chaos. I'm getting back into the garden to create my oasis in the backyard because I know it'll make me feel like me again.
What's your one thing?
I'd love to hear it and support you!
XOXO,
Renee
