a mood board | may edition

i know that slowing down and staying present has big rewards. however, it isn’t always an easy journey; it takes a lot work in the beginning. i am hoping to share more soon, but lately i am working most on is this: when i find that my mind is wandering, i notice the thoughts and i then let them go. 


i am also working on being more intent through exercises 
… 
initially asking myself, ‘what does the world want from me?”


i have been setting aside a few minutes to meditate, to settle down, breath deeply- inhaling and exhaling. i try not to control my breath, i try not to control anything. asking these questions | “who am i?” (pause) what do i want? (pause and repeat the question) and then ‘how can i serve?’ (pause and repeat the question). i usually take another breath and then ask, ‘what does the universe want from me?” sometimes the answers aren’t clear and sometimes they are very vivid. 

this next month, i am really going to focus on what i put in my body + clean eating and making our home less toxic regarding chemicals. any advice with either of these? 


what about you?
… how do you create a more mindful state of mind + focus on being intent…
