You don’t have to dream of a better future, you can create one. It starts with you.

The big question everyone wrestles with during a home renovation is this: Should I hire a professional or should I DIY?

You walk into your office … There is paper everywhere, a coffee stain from the mug you didn’t finish yesterday, a can of half drank soda water, cords, and overall just chaos. You might not realize this, but when your office space is cluttered, so is your mind. Your ability to stay on task, be productive, and stay calm is being tested when you put yourself into an environment like this. 

I just completed 75 Hard, and I am eager to get back to it.

Do you love the colors in your home, or if I asked you, would you even know what colors are sprinkled throughout your home?

Think about the moment you woke up this morning. You probably thought about the laundry list of things you personally had to get done. Oh, how invasive our thoughts can be. Maybe you work from home, maybe you have to pay your bills today, or maybe you want to find a relaxing spot to enjoy your coffee, journal, and read.

Let’s talk about confidence for a second, shall we? Confidence is defined as the ability to rely on someone or something. I don’t know about you, but as I get older I realize that I have to be really careful who and what I think I can rely on, otherwise it’ll really bite me in the butt.

There are two types of people in the world: those that love a throw pillow and those that don’t find them necessary at all. As you can imagine, I am leaning on the side of “I think throw pillows are wildly necessary, and you should be making your bed with them daily.”

Your home is so much more than just a place… it’s a feeling. Your house is the place. It’s created from materials and filled with things–things that we collect, things that we feel like are a necessity, things that we want, things that we feel are important.

Let’s talk about taking our self-care and “me time” more seriously.

I started 75 Hard. For those of you that don’t know what 75 Hard is, it’s a mental, physical, and emotional mindset challenge. For 75 days I have to drink a gallon of water, have two 45 minute workouts a day (one has to be outside), follow a diet, take photos of myself daily, and read 10 pages in a book. It’s taxing, but so far it’s been so worth it.

Something truly debilitating for folks is the inability to get started on a project. Is this you?! Cue the many excuses and stories that replay in our head over and over and over again until we somehow believe them! Limiting beliefs is such a sucker sometimes.
