“Self care means giving the world the best of you instead of what is left of you.” —Katie Reed . . Someone recently asked me how I choose joy in the every day. It is definitely harder than it sounds, especially for a pessimist like myself. Choosing joy does not come naturally for me, but this is a habit that I would like to break. . . Since beginning my minimalism journey, self care has looked a whole lot different. Rather than buying clothes to fill a void, I am collecting more moments than things, and I’m making more gratitude lists than wishlists. I’m taking the time to do things for myself—whether that’s taking a walk, grabbing dinner with a friend, blasting my favorite oldie love songs in the car, or letting myself rest and watch Netflix without feeling guilty. These things might seem small, but even a little joy can change your whole day around. I know that little by little, this practice of choosing joy will become a new habit of mind. 😌 . . On this particular morning, Draino had failed us and our kitchen sink was clogged overnight. Instead of being cranky or focusing on the pile of dirty dishes on the counter, I treated myself to a good cup of joe and a croissant, and was grateful for the opportunity to treat myself. I don’t really buy coffee as much as I used to now that we’ve figured out how to make it at home, so it’s always a little more special now grabbing coffee at a cafe. ☕️🥐 The little things really do matter! // How did you choose joy this week? #pleblife

It’s still summer over here in LA 🌞 which means my arms are still out and that I’m still living in my @loyalestudio no. 2 t-shirt 🖤 . . I’ve been really trying to follow the Buyerarchy of Needs and using what I have in my closet before deciding to buy something. It’s Day 44 of my no-shop spree. 💪🏻 I plan on wittling down my closet further from 63 items to maybe even getting to my goal of having 50 items or less! ✌🏻 Full update will happen in a few weeks when you it’s time for my October Closet Update! . . There’s another chance to win this tee over at my fellow ambassador friends’ accounts. Head on over to @goblinshark_ @_simplysustainable_ @lisamariekiss and @shannonleeblog for another chance to win this indie luxury tee! 🖤 #pleblife #loyaleambassador

“Talking about our problems is our greatest addiction. Break the habit. Talk about your joys.” . . Some joys for me this morning are: I have some good coffee brewing ☕️ Brandon and I got in a good cuddle sesh early this cozy morning listening to the crazy 40 mph winds (and rescued our cacti from outside!) 😌 I’m wearing my shirt that says LOVE ALWAYS WINS today because I have a long day ahead of me, but I am determined to make it a good day ahead of me 💪🏻 I’m excited for lunch because Brandon cooked pasta last night, and it was damn good 🍝 And if all else fails, we finally booked a trip to Joshua Tree in November that I have to look forward to 🌵 // What are some of your joys today? #pleblife

“Loving yourself is the greatest revolution.” 💛✌🏻 . . It’s seems like all I’ve had are “rough weeks” lately. Well I’m done just surrendering to stress and my insecurities. I’m determined to choose joy, and to keep choosing it every day. I’m going to start by being kind to myself so that I can also be truly kind to others. // What are your goals this week? ✨ #pleblife

“Remember how far you’ve come, not just how far you have left to go. You are not where you want to be, neither are you where you used to be.” . . It’s been 41 days since I’ve bought any clothes—new or secondhand. That might not seem like a big number but for me, I think this is the longest I’ve gone without shopping since I started working at my first job at the movie theaters at 19 years old (I’ll be 29 in December). Little by little, a little becomes a lot. ✌🏻 So excited to see if I can get to 50 days...and then 60 days! #pleblife

“Don’t dig up in doubt what you planted in faith.” —Elisabeth Elliot . . Doubt has always been a shadow following me around wherever I went, but lately it’s been plaguing me and swallowing me up whole. Slowly but surely, I’m trying to stand on the faith I’ve planted—faith in myself, faith in my beliefs, faith in my friends, faith in my community—by remembering that I don’t have to go at life all alone; that I do have things to offer; that my beliefs do matter and are right for me; and that I have dug myself out of holes before and can do it again. 🌱 How do you kill your doubts? #pleblife
