Declutter Your Space, Declutter Your Mind!

Hey there, Self-Care Sunday Squad! 🌿
✨ This week, let's dive into the transformative power of decluttering.

Clear space, clear mind – as we organize and bring peace to our surroundings, we're inviting tranquility into our lives. Join me on this decluttering journey and let's create havens of coziness together. 💆‍♀️🏡 #DeclutterForPeace

Ever notice how our external surroundings often reflect what's going on inside? It's like a dance – cluttered spaces can lead to cluttered minds, and vice versa. This week, let's tackle the external chaos and witness the ripple effect on our internal peace.

The Challenge: 10-Minute Tidying Up!

I get it – we all have those "catch-all" spaces, the closets or spare rooms where things accumulate over time. Let's dedicate just 10 minutes to tidy up each room or space we spend the most time in, and yes, even those neglected catch-all spaces. We're in this together!

It's time to bid farewell to things that no longer spark joy. Take a moment to let go of items that have overstayed their welcome and find new homes for them. Decluttering isn't just about throwing things away; it's about creating space for things that truly matter.

That said we've all got that drawer or box where random items find refuge in a moment of chaos. Just like our minds with neglected tasks. This week, let's not only declutter our physical spaces but also our mental "doom drawers." Let's clear out the mental clutter and make room for clarity.

Inspiration for Success:
Check out the meditation created by my partner Selomon to kickstart your decluttering journey. It's designed to inspire and guide you through the process. 🧘‍♂️✨ Watch it here.

As we wrap up this #SelfCareSunday challenge, envision the tranquility you've invited into your space. Decluttering is more than just organizing – it's a self-love practice that paves the way for clarity, peace, and a home filled with positive energy. Cheers to our decluttered spaces! 🌟🏡 #DeclutteringWins 🌈💪 #DeclutterForPeace

Manage Your Time Wisely

Hey, time travelers!

This #SelfCareSunday, let's talk about the wild and wonderful journey through time.

Life's a rollercoaster, and how we manage our time can either make it a thrilling ride or leave us feeling stuck.

Your invitation this week is to join me in tackling time management, set goals, and take intentional steps towards success. #TimeManagementMagic

Time is a fascinating force, isn't it? Sometimes it zips by when we're caught up in joy, and other times it seems to crawl at a snail's pace during moments of pain or anticipation. Yet, no matter what, it keeps moving forward, and it's the energy that propels our lives.

But here's the magic trick – taking control of our time, and setting attainable goals to help focus where the time goes.

Yes there are moments we can't control and our goals have to shift for the moment. But, when we seize the reins of our day-to-day, remembering that our future is in our hands, life begins to feel like a grand adventure. It's about embracing the power to manage our time intentionally and make each moment count.

One strategy that has worked wonders for me is the art of creating macro and micro goal lists. Macro goals are the big dreams, the grand visions for our lives, or the things we must stay focued on to make progress.

Micro goals break those dreams into small, actionable tasks that we can tackle daily. It's like turning dreams into a roadmap for success.

This week, I'm throwing down a challenge – set three attainable goals that propel you towards your big life dreams. Break each of these goals into small, manageable tasks that help you get there. It's about taking those intentional steps that transform dreams into reality. #GoalCrushers"

I'll lead the charge! My three goals are to make progress on my books, stay on top of preparations for Shine Online ( save the date for 2/22 to join me online if you haven't yet), and prioritize self-care. The micro goals are safely tucked away in my journal, ready to be conquered. What about you? What dreams are you chasing this week?

If you would like feel free to share a snapshot of your journal or workspace #TimeManagementMagic"

As we wrap up try to take a breath as you step into being more dedicated to mastering your time, remember that every tick of the clock is an opportunity to shape your destiny. Embrace the magic of effective time management, set your goals, and let's propel ourselves towards success together. #TimeManagementTriumph

Eat Better, Feel Better.

This weeks suggestion is to take a look at your eating habits.

As we embark on this week's journey towards healthier living, let's kick things off by creating a thoughtful grocery list and planning meals for the upcoming days!

The challenge is simple but transformative – aim to introduce at least one new, exciting meal to your routine.

Breaking away from the comfort of familiar dishes can be intimidating, but the reward lies in expanding your culinary horizons and treating your taste buds to a symphony of flavors.

#SelfCareSunday beckons you to feed your soul with a commitment to healthier eating.

Curious what my favorite thing is right now? It's this curry chickpea salad has become one of my go to quick healthy meals an dI try to keep everything on deck for when I need to make it next! Thanks to its simplicity and the fact that it requires no cooking devices it's perfect for those moments when you want a quick, nourishing meal without the hassle of turning on the oven. I often make extra for later, providing a convenient and healthy option during my creative bursts when I don't want to interrupt my art flow.

Welcome Back to Self Care Sundays

Introducing Self Care Sundays coming back.

Hello, lovely souls! It's the first Sunday of the year, and I'm buzzing with excitement to embark on a journey of self-care with each one of you. I’ve wanted to get back to being consistent and sharing content and I think this is a hopeful way to stay updated with you all here. I will also be posting to my ShantasticShine Facebook page.

As we stand at the threshold of 2024, I've dedicated time to curate 52 weeks of self-care suggestions that I'm feeling called to consistently share with my amazing community.

Every Sunday, I'll be unveiling a new invitation, inviting you to embrace self-care in its varied forms. Right now, I encourage each of you to take a moment, give yourself the gift of self-reflection, and share your thoughts below.

To kickstart our year-long voyage, our first invitation is a powerful one:

This Week's Invitation: "Create your daily routine. Write it out and make a plan."

I believe that setting the tone for the year begins with nurturing a mindful daily routine.

So, let's craft a plan that honors your well-being and beckons the best version of yourself into each day.

How do you structure your daily routine, and what motivates you to stick with it?

Please share below. Let's co-create a community of encouragement and inspiration. Together, let's make Self Care Sundays a reminder for self-love, growth, and meaningful conversations.

Are you ready to embark on this journey with me? Let the self-care adventure begin!

To start my routines I often use a reward system, or create a goal with a deadline that gives me something to celebrate on that deadline.

Sometimes its a simple goal and others its a bit more of a intense project goal to test my limits. Reguardless if I don't put it both in my phone and planner I'm not as likely to remember it.

Current routine goal, to show up here for you every Sunday.

Now your turn. How do you create routines?
