Everything Is Figureoutable

This week, I've had some pretty amazing things happen in my life and business. And while I'm not yet ready to share all the details, I do have something to share about the journey and the process. Because this week, I was reminded just how it easy it can be to stay in the same place because trying to figure out all of the unknown details seems nearly impossible.

In this week's short 6 minute video, I share exactly what I mean!

So in the spirit of going after your dream life and livelihood, this week's #StyleTruthChallenge asks: 

WHAT ARE YOU AVOIDING DOING BECAUSE YOU'RE AFRAID YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO FIGURE IT OUT? 

For this week's challenge, I want you to take a look at those things right now that are freaking you out...that you're procrastinating...that you're avoiding doing because of the WHAT IF (i.e. what if you can't figure it out?). The beautiful thing is, this is just your mind keeping you from growing because it's the safe place to be. My challenge is to take the leap anyway...get started, and do something, knowing that everything will be figureoutable along the way.

Be sure to head on over to Instagram to participate, using #StyleTruthSundayChallenge ! Also...have a topic you'd like covered in #StyleTruthSunday? Email me or leave a comment below (I'd love to hear from you).

Cheers to figuring it out and moving forward into your bespoke version of A Love Styled Life!

Mindfulness Made Easy

So this week I'm switching things up a bit!

Normally, I'd send a video of myself or one of my mentors, speaking on the ways in which you can begin to incorporate the principles of A Love Styled Life into your own bespoke world. But this week...my heart was captured by a 107 year old woman. Another beautiful testament that lessons come, even in the most unlikeliest of forms. 

Meet Peggy Freydberg...woman poet (and general rockstar of a lady) who put mindfulness into perspective for all of us in her recently published collection of work. You've heard me talk a lot about this in the past...this idea of mindfulness and living consciously in every single aspect of our lives (see some of my other posts and video challenges on this from the past here & here ). But what I love about her simple yet profound approach to mindfulness, is that it's something you and I already do (or have the opportunity to do) every single day. 

What is it?

Drumroll.....

Making your bed

Say what?

Yes, you heard me right...Freydberg suggests making your bed as the first and most important mindful act you can make in a day. Here's a link to the article, which talks more about this from an interview she did on the subject.

But it's her poem Chorus of Cells which beautifully illustrates in prose her revolutionary approach, and I've included that here:

Wow. Beautiful and profound, right?

This week's #StyleTruthChallenge asks: 

HOW CAN YOU MAKE MAKING YOUR BED A MINDFULNESS PRACTICE?

For this week's challenge, I want you to share your pictures of putting this simple mindful act into practice. Be sure to head on over to Instagram to participate, using #StyleTruthChallenge so we can see what you've been practicing!

Also...this week I'll be hosting my first ever Periscope video (and maybe even possibly taking you behind the scenes of my own answer to this week's challenge). Be sure to head on over to this fave new social media app of mine and follow to see the video @love_styled! To connected connected on Periscope, click here!
