    361 | Taking Stock of Non-Negotiables

    Taking stock of your life is like making an investment: you invest a small amount and, over time, there’s a compound effect on that investment. The investment you’re making is in yourself by creating and sticking to your non-negotiables.

    There are still so many things in our lives that are out of our control. And in times like this, it’s important to look at what we can control, what’s really important to us, and make those non-negotiable. So, let’s talk about some non-negotiables that everyone should consider and how to protect them in your life.

  • 358 | The Body Remembers

    358 | The Body Remembers

    The body remembers… even when the mind forgets.

    We have the ability to hone in on our connection between our feelings and our sensations to help us connect the past to the present. Our body carries with it so many thoughts and feelings, both unheard and unknown. But if we fine tune our connection with our sense of self we can learn to become better at feeling our feelings — without being captive to them.

    355 | How to Get In Touch With Your Energy | with Mira DeMartino

    How can we tap into our own energy and make the most of it?

    Mira DeMartino is a goddess of energy; a sculpter, an artist, and a beautiful spirit in every way. Originally from Poland, Mira used to be a fashion designer and interior designer. She began to observe how the energy of the objects she created for her clients was changing them, and she realized that people can empower themselves through the objects that they surround themselves with.

    Our energy flow starts with physical body movement, and moves on from there. Then there is the energy contained in the objects around us. And we have to recognize that energy management starts with the thoughts that we choose to think and feel.

    If you’re looking to add some energy to your room, it is hard to give prescriptive advice, but Mira recommends that you start by observing yourself and understanding yourself. Find out what spaces you feel good in, or what styles you like, and once you recognize that, you can begin to incorporate that into every space that you spend time in.
