Schools Out for Summer: Tapping into the Magic of the Season

Hello, I hope this finds you well as we welcome July.

It feels like it’s been so long since we last connected, I don’t know about you but June felt like a really long month this year. We’ve officially arrived to summer here in the Northern hemisphere even though it’s been pretty hot in my little corner of the world for a while now.

When I think about summer I often think about summers as a child and how exciting it was to have time off school, long summer nights, and lots of fun with friends and family. As a grown up, summer can sometimes feel a bit different with most of us working during this time and maybe some extra responsibilities too especially if you have little ones at home. I was thinking about ways to keep that whimsical summer energy woven into the season even with the responsibilities of being an adult. While there are lots of ways to do this, I was thinking that it could be helpful to think about a few of the seemingly simple stand out memories or favorites that you hold dear. You may be able to find a common theme for yourself when you do this. You may find there’s favorite foods you enjoy making because they represent summer to you. Maybe you like to do certain activities like making smores in the back yard because you have fond memories of doing that as a child. Maybe you really look forward to setting up an outdoor movie night with popcorn and other favorite snacks. Maybe for you it’s all about the swimming or maybe you’re already creating piles of summer reading books. The options are endless, it really just matters what stands out to you when you personally think about the energy of summer.

Taking a little time to find the theme or themes that are a fit for you can help you to bring that experience into your summer this year. You don’t need to pack every day with activities or spend lots of time away to enjoy the experience of summer. By choosing your theme and setting the intention to bring your personal brand of summer into your season this year, you will find that it allows you to open the door to the things that feel like summer for you. It can also add a little excitement, whimsy, and magic to your season too. You may find it helps you to tap into that childlike joy you had when you thought about an entire season of time off from school to play and have fun.

Here are a few questions you can ask yourself to help you find a theme that feels like a fit for you this summer. You may want to write down your answers if you feel guided and you can come back to the exercise at any time you choose. There are no wrong answers, so you can just relax and have fun with this process.

Take a couple of deep breaths in through your nose and out through your mouth. Good, letting go of any tension, tightness, or stress that you may feel holding space inside your body. Go ahead and take another breath, and let go of any to do lists, or other things that may be holding space around you; knowing that you can go back to them when you’re finished.

• When I think about my 3 favorite summers; these are the summers that come to mind:_____________________________________________________________

• Why do these summers stand out as favorites for me? __________________________________

• How did these experiences make me feel? ___________________________________________

• Were there similar aspects to these summers or are they special because they are each unique? ___________________________________________________________________________

• Who was with me during these favorite summers? ______________________________________

• What kinds of activities did I do?_______________________________________________________

• What were some stand out moments or aspects that felt special to me? ______________________________________________________________________________

• How would I describe these experiences of my favorite summers? ____________________________

• What aspects or themes stand out when I look back over those summers? ______________________________________________________________________________

• If I had to choose 3 words to describe my favorite summers, what would they be? ______________________________________________________________________________

• How do these words make me feel? ____________________________________________________

• How can I incorporate these words or themes into my summer season this year? __________________________________________________________________________

• When I think about using these themes as an intention for this summer, I feel______________________________________________________.

• My personal theme for the summer of 2022, is the season of _____________________________________.

Great job, now you can take a moment to just sit with any emotions and memories that you’re experiencing around this or you can continue to write down any ideas or inspiration this created for you; whatever feels right for you.

I hope this will help to bring a little spark of excitement, joy, and even some childlike wonder to your new season this year. In any ways that feel like a fit for you I hope that you will enjoy celebrating the themes and aspects of the season that resonate for you and yours this summer.

I look forward to participating in some of my favorite summer activities too; things like riding bikes, early morning hikes, making popsicles, more canning, swimming, and yes, getting through some of my piles of summer reading books. I would love to hear about your personal theme for the season if you feel guided to share it with me. I’m wishing you a wonderful summer!

I’m sending you lots of love and support from my teeny tiny corner of the world right to you!

With love and gratitude,
Kristy~xoxo

Happy & Healthy Holidays for Highly Sensitive People

This month brings with it a noticeable change and you may even be able to feel the shift just from yesterday to today. This month begins and ends with celebratory themes with All saints Day today, All Souls Day and Day of the Dead tomorrow and if you live in the states, Thanksgiving celebrations toward the end of the month and the beginning of the holiday season. I know there are lots of different “official” kickoffs to the holiday season and maybe you count yesterday as the beginning of festivities; whether you’re a day after Thanksgiving person, a November 1st person, A Halloween person or somewhere in between, the time of festivities, family, and food are upon us.

If you’re experiencing a feeling of being in between shock that it’s November and also a feeling of wondering how it’s only November because 2021 has been surprisingly long; you’re not alone. It’s been a year that’s continued to offer us opportunities for growth; but we’re arriving toward the end now which can bring several different aspects and areas into play for many people, especially for highly sensitive souls. (Like yourself)

While this festive time of the year can bring a lot of fun, joy, and excitement; it can sometimes bring stress and challenges too. As a highly sensitive soul, you may need more support, self care, or recharge time than some of the other people in your circle. Knowing what areas may need extra attention as we move into this month, can help you enjoy more of the activities and experiences of this season while also honoring your natural rhythm.

Some of the main themes or areas that show up for highly sensitive people at this time of year include but aren’t limited to: Overwhelm, Boundaries, and Heightened Sensitivity. There are some simple ways that you can work with these areas which will allow you to experience the festivities and not feel like you’re just going through the motions but missing out on the actual fun or joy.

Overwhelm:

If you tend to be very organized, a self starter, someone who naturally focuses on solutions, getting all the things done and checked off the list, this could be an issue that shows up for you. It’s important to remember that it’s healthy and okay to say yes to the things that you want to do and no to the things that aren’t a fit this year. Saying yes to everything can lead to overwhelm, exhaustion, and even feelings of guilt. It’s better to leave a little breathing room in your schedule so you can have time and space to do some things that make this time of year special for you, even if that’s making popcorn, apple cider and watching your favorite movie while wearing cozy jammies.

If you have a hard time saying no, practice telling someone, “Let me get back to you after I check my schedule.”  Or “I wish I could make it, thank you for the invitation but my schedule is already full on that day.” Or, “Thank you for the invitation but as a family we’re choosing to stay home this year.” I promise you that you can do it, and people do understand. Choosing to take good care of yourself is not selfish and you’re not obligated to do all the things, all the time.

Boundaries:

You probably understand better than most people that your energy levels deplete more quickly in different situations, environments, and around certain people. Introverts, Empaths, and Highly Sensitive People need down time to recharge, renew, and rejuvenate daily. Just like your favorite device needs to recharge, so do you. When sensitive souls overstep their own boundaries by agreeing to be in places, environments, and around people that drain them for too long it can lead to burn out, exhaustion, and even other kinds of health challenges. This is not fun and it can be a challenge because like the overwhelm category above, it’s important that you say no to situations that over extend your energy reserves so that you can maintain a sense of balance.

Acknowledging any feelings of guilt, bargaining, or going against your own grain can help you to see those experiences as red flags or stop signs so you can instead choose to honor your boundaries, energy levels, and personal needs. This will help you to lean into activities that are restorative, nurturing, and allow you to refill your well so you feel like your real self while also taking care of your needs and maintain balance.

Heightened Sensitivity:

If you live in the Northern Hemisphere, you’re experiencing less sunlight which can have a powerful impact on Highly Sensitive People. Maybe you’ve experienced varying levels of Seasonal Affective Disorder like so many others. You may feel guided to purchase a full spectrum light, or maybe you enjoy feeling heat on your skin so you enjoy hot baths, hot tubbing, steaming, or sauna to help warm up your body and help uplift your energy and mood.

Some people also experience increased sensitivity in their skin, and senses like sensitivity to lighting, sounds, even energy. You may find that you are drawn to your softest clothing, sheets, blankets, and socks at this time of year. You may need more golden or pink light instead of really bright overhead lighting, and you may notice that you want sounds and energies in your home to be gentler and less abrasive.

All of these experiences are things that can show up for highly sensitive people. You’re not imagining it, it is real, and you’re not the only one who’s going through this experience. The more that you can lean into the things that your body is needing, to the best of your ability of course, the gentler this time will be for you.

In addition to the physical aspects of heightened sensitivity, many people experience more of their natural spiritual gifts, activity, and connection to their guides, angels, and departed loved ones. This isn’t surprising to me at all, as we get quiet, comforted, and are more inwardly focused it can be easier to hear and connect with our spiritual gifts. You may notice this in your own life this month. If this is something that you enjoy, you may want to document it in a notebook or journal so you can look back at your experiences and see themes and messages showing up for you.

I hope that these support systems can be helpful for you this month during this festive and full season. These things don’t have to take a lot of time to implement in your daily life, even seemingly small things will have a big positive impact for you. The info graphic above is full of great ways to support each of the different areas which tend to show up for people right now, but especially for highly sensitive people. Lean into what you know is right for you even if it looks a little bit different than someone else, and let people know what you need and where your limit is so they can honor you the way that you honor the people you love.

I’m wishing you and yours a very happy month filled with abundance and I’m sending you so much love and gratitude from my teeny tiny corner of the world right to you.

All my love,
Kristy~ xoxo

Reflecting + Retrograding = Reprioritizing

Can you believe it’s officially June and we’re halfway through the year? I don’t know about you, but this year has felt like a wave of repeats in so many ways. Some days feel like they’re happening over and over again while other days and weeks just seem to meld into one another and it feels like I can’t believe another month has passed.

Are you feeling this too?
It’s like we’re collectively and individually getting to experience the malleability of time.

Here we are, halfway through the year, with an equal amount of time ahead of us as the amount of time that is behind us. This is an opportunity to create a marker for ourselves and for the projects or aspects of our lives that we’ve been working through so far in 2021. Maybe you’re like me and really love these kinds of markers because it gives us a chance to do some review, some planning, and some opportunities to see where there’s room for streamlining as well as doubling down on some of the things that are on our list for the year.

If this isn’t really your cup of tea, that’s okay too, even taking a few minutes to think about what your themes for the year have been so far and what kinds of things or aspects you’d like to have more of in the next 6 months (or maybe not so much of) still counts as honoring this 6 month marker. It’s a palpable shift for us no matter which ways we choose to move through this doorway of the year.

In addition to this halfway energy that’s happening for us this month, we’re also moving through Mercury Retrograde right now. Isn’t that perfect timing for a little review of our year so far? During these times we’re often given opportunities to rework, redo, reveal, review, etc. during these retrograde cycles. You can think of the re words that are showing up for you right now; and begin to see some themes that you are personally working through during this retrograde cycle in addition to the things you’re experiencing in your day to day life.

Some of these themes can include but aren’t limited to:

• Rest

• Restore

• Renew

• Replenish

• Reset

• Rejuvenate

• Relaxation

• Reinvent

• Reestablish

• Regenerate

• Research

• Revisit

• Return

• Rejoice

• Revoke

• Refuse

• Re____

If you’ve been part of the Chloe Ting sensation over the past year or so, you may actually hear the words and music “rewind time everybody” playing in your head right now when you think about re words and that would be a great example of this energy.

Not only are we being given a chance to review, readjust, and reset our personal plans right now, we’re also experiencing some repeating themes on a larger scale that we’ve all moved through together over the last year and a half too. We’re already seeing severe lockdowns again in the UK, parts of Canada, and there are messages about other locations experiencing similar regulations soon. Even among smaller regions like counties and states there are varying degrees of orders and regulations being implemented at this time.

Some of the things that I’ve seen around this issue include some similar pinches in availability of products and goods that we’ve seen in the last 16 months or so. Depending on where you live, you may have been experiencing some grid and communication issues, especially in the last few weeks. I see more of these kinds of things popping up for many places. Again, we see this is a big theme when we move into a Mercury Retrograde time in any year; so it’s a great time to make sure you’re saving your work, backing up, and keeping your devices charged to the best of your ability.

You may feel inclined to pick up a few extra things you may need from the store, or fill up your gas tank in your vehicle, and have some extra water on hand too. I’m a native southern California kid so we always had earthquake kits set up just in case, and this is a good time to set up some things that you may need or that seem to be running low just in case there’s a pinch in the supply chains.

This is also a good time to do some clearing up around your home and property especially if you live in a state that has fire issues when the weather heats up; and to have things on hand if there are repeats with the grid powering down during the fire season.

As you can see, this is a big moment we’re moving through right now and as a highly sensitive person, I know you’re feeling this big energy too. Please remember that as we continue to move through this time, it’s really important to make sure you’re taking good care of yourself and that you’re building in some quiet recharge time for yourself so you can come back into balance throughout the day. You don’t have to spend a lot of time doing this, and there’s no one way or right way, just the ways that are right for you on any particular day.

It isn’t so much about what you do to honor your needs as a gentle soul but that you do something each day, even if only for a few minutes here and a few minutes there. All of the investments you make to honor your needs and the messages you’re receiving about taking good care of yourself, add up to big positive shifts for you and the way you feel. Yes, you’re worth it!

I’m so looking forward to working with you this month whether you schedule a reading, energy treatment, or coaching session.

I’m wishing you a very gentle and restorative Mercury Retrograde cycle and a wonderful month.

I’m sending you so much love and support from my teeny tiny corner of the world right to you!

With love and gratitude,
Kristy~xoxo

Refocusing, Recalibrating, and Resetting for August

I hope this finds you well as we officially move into a brand new month together.

August.

Wow, this time of year usually marks something for me, and maybe you experience this too…even though it’s definitely still hot, there’s a shift that comes with hitting this month on the calendar.

A shift in energy.

A shift in focus.

A shift in readiness.

A shift in knowing that we’re moving back into a time of getting back to school, cooler weather is on the horizon for those of us in the Northern Hemisphere, and an opportunity to get some things we have on our list front and center before we wrap up the last bit of the year.

It’s like being on the starting line waiting for the go signal to hit the ground running on this last bit of the year.

For me, even though I’m no longer a student, this time of year still stirs and nurtures these experiences for me and I still really love it.

This year, it feels like there’s a bit or a record scratch happening in the background of all of this energy…very loudly I must admit but still in the background.

Can you hear it too?

We may be experiencing similar record scratches or they may be different but we’re collectively hearing this happening and feeling all the feels about it too. We’re collectively having this experience together from our own homes all over the planet.

Maybe your record scratch is about whether or not you’ll still be working from home for the remainder of the year.

Maybe it’s about scrambling to find a way that’s right for you and your family to support your child’s education this back to school season.

Maybe you’re a teacher and you won’t be able to go back to in person classes this fall and you’re grieving being with your students.

Maybe it means more important dates in your life where you have to isolate, social distance, and experience separation from people and experiences which are important for you.

Maybe it’s all the things, and none of the things especially that makes it hard…the I can’t quite put my finger on it feeling.

Maybe you’ve baked all the sourdough you can handle, shared it safely with neighbors, and now don’t really know what to do.

Maybe you got more than 1 BINGO on the lockdown scoreboard you found on the inter-webs and feel you’ve been really upbeat about everything and now you’re burned out and don’t want to play anymore. (that’s okay by the way…totally natural.)

No matter where you’re at with all of this, you’re not alone.

Turning the corner on how we move toward the end of the year with a lot of these issues still part of our day to day can feel heavy, overwhelming, and downright dismal.

I’ve had people tell me that they don’t want to be a Debbie Downer but that they’re really sad and having a hard time because this has been going on longer than they expected.

I’ve had people tell me that they’ve lost momentum, feel disconnected, and that they’re experiencing sadness.

Many people tell me that they feel guilty for feeling this way because they feel grateful for so many other things that they have in their life.

Maybe this resonates for you too.

The truth is that this situation, the things that are happening directly to you within your world and the things happening in the larger outside world around you are impactful, real, and take a toll on you.

They take a toll on all of us.

There is no part of you that is wrong for feeling your feelings.

It’s healthy to feel your full spectrum of emotions, and to allow them to move through you in constructive ways.

You don’t need to hold back or be embarrassed for feeling the way you feel, even if you have happy things happening in your life too. You can be grateful, joyful, and appreciate and still have a hard day or hard moments throughout the day.

As we all lean into this big left turn that is August, let’s take a big deep breath in through our noses, and hold it at the top of the breath, and then exhale for a big clearing. Good….feel free to repeat if you need to.

The truth is that we’re going through a time of deep healing, clearing, and yes…upheaval too.

It looks like we are scheduled for some more bumps ahead; however, that doesn’t mean we can’t also allow this time to be a marker for us.

Maybe your marker will be:

Taking more time for rest

Slowing down a bit

Taking some things off of your list

Asking for help and allowing yourself to Receive it once it’s offered

Choosing 1 thing that’s important to you on a personal level to focus on as we lean into the rest of the year

Acknowledging how you’re doing and letting yourself be where you’re at…also remember to give yourself gold stars on your chart for your wins. (wins are really important no matter how many turns around the sun you’ve made.)

Scheduling support services where you could use it, so you don’t feel like you’re trying to hold everyone and everything up all by yourself all the time.

Just in case no one has told you this in a while, please let me be the person to tell you that you’re doing a really great job.

I can see you.

I see all the effort that you’re making and all the time you put in to keep things going for yourself and others.

You’re doing a really great job!

Thank you so much for all you do. Please make sure you take some time to be as good to yourself as you are to everyone in your world.

You are appreciated.

You are worthy.

You are valuable.

You are loveable.

You are enough.

You are enough.

You are enough.

With all my love and gratitude, I’m sending you so much support from my teeny corner of the world to you. I’m wishing you a healthy, happy, August…one with things to look forward to that feel good to you.

Love,

Kristy~xoxo

How to Maintain Your Sacred Space While Holding onto Your Sanity...When Your Home is Your Sanctuary…Plus Office, Gym, Movie Theatre, School, etc.

I was just thinking about you and thought I would drop a line to see how you’re doing.

One of the things that’s been a bit of a struggle for me lately is managing all the new jobs that my home has to do while also finding a way to continue to create a space where my home rises up to greet me and feels like a sanctuary.

Are you finding this to be a bit of a head scratcher too?

Please tell me I’m not alone in this one; it’s been a bit of a one step forward one step back kind of dance during this shelter in place order. I find that like most things right now, there’s this roller coaster of emotions tied into little wins and then little (or larger) setbacks which can feel overwhelming.

A few days ago I decided to sit down and really look at this issue and tune in to see what some of the large issues were that were contributing to this push pull dynamic I was experiencing.

Here’s what showed up for me, I thought maybe it could be helpful and supportive for you too.

The first big issue that I saw was all about Tech.

I know… this is one of those things that’s woven into the fabric of our lives at this point and right now even more so than usual. However, that was the big take away, our homes are literally being filled with wifi, screen energy, and nearly non-stop tech energies pumping into all areas nearly non stop at this point.

For most of us, even those who work from home, this is at another level, especially if you’re home schooling and have a partner working from home too. So, these energies are impacting us physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually in ways we aren’t used to, all day every day.

This build up if you will, is starting to have an impact on the way we feel, think, and experience our day to day life.

Some of the symptoms showing up include but aren’t limited to:

• Lethargy

• Exhaustion

• Sadness/Meh

• Cloudy Thinking

• Inflammation

• Joint Pain, Strain, or Tension

• Feeling Intense Swings in Mood

• Easily Triggered by Current or Past Situations

• Looped Thinking Cycles, Usually Negative

• Agitation, Frustration, Anxiousness, Overwhelm

• Feeling Like You Can’t Pull Yourself Out of a Funk

• Sleep Disturbances

• Insomnia

• Night Terrors

If you’re experiencing any of these, please know that you’re not alone. There are simple but significant shifts you can make to help support you in clearing these energies from your home.

The other 2 areas that showed up were:

• Too Much Time Indoors Breathing Recirculated Air and a Lack of Full Spectrum Sunlight

• Being Ungrounded

The good news here, is that all 3 of these areas are completely connected to one another which means that we can get some traction and forward motion with all of them with a little bit of effort.

There is no one way or right way to do this, only the ways that are right for you today.

I’ve included some ways that showed up for me and I hope that they will be helpful for you and a jumping off place for you to create some custom support systems for you and your home.

Clear Out the Tech Energy:

Literally Open the Windows and Run Your Ceiling Fans to Clear it Out of Your Home

You will bring fresh air into your home at the same time which helps to clear out that recirculated air you’ve been breathing too. Tech energy creates an energetic woven fabric that holds space like an umbrella and pushes the energy down in your home and it pushes you down too. When you air out your home you’ll literally feel a lightness return to your spaces. Highly sensitive people like yourself can often see that the rooms look lighter, brighter, and larger after being aired out.

If it’s already hot or still cold at your home, either open your home up early in the morning or in the evening or bundle up if you have to so you can clear out this dense and unhealthy energy. A few minutes will make a big difference if that’s all you can do. If you can air out your home longer, great go for it.

Turn Off the Tech Energy:

If you can turn off your wifi or at least place your devices on airplane mode at night, it will make a big difference in the way you think and feel in the morning. You will notice that your sleep will be better too.

If it’s possible to reduce the rooms in your home that are using screens and dedicate it to specific spaces, it will help to keep it from being all over everywhere all day long. If this isn’t possible, that’s okay, just try to remember to turn it off when you’re finished instead of leaving all your devices running 24/7. I know it’s easier to let everything go to sleep mode, but if you turn things off, you’ll notice a palpable difference.

Go Outside:

I know this one seems obvious but with so much added screen time and indoor time, it’s easy to forget to go outside. The I just have to finish one more thing syndrome has been supersized for most of us right now and before we know it, the day has passed and we haven’t gone outdoors at all. Instead, we’ve been inside in front of screens under the tech umbrella. (Don’t judge yourself, this is something we’re all experiencing apart, but together right now.)

Even if you can only go for a 15 minute walk around your block, give yourself permission to do that. Schedule it into your phone if that works for you so you’ll get outside to breathe some fresh air, get some full spectrum sunlight, and stretch your muscles. Our bodies are like sponges so all that tech energy is sitting inside of us too. When we move and sweat, we can get it cleared out.

If you have a fancy home gym and you’re working out regularly, way to go! I still encourage you to get outside even if just for that walk around the block. Getting outside helps us to get grounded and get more connected to our natural rhythms again and feel more like ourselves again too. Getting outside also clears our aura and energy body. Win. Win.

Clean Your Home:

Again, this one seems super obvious, but cleaning is a sacred act (while it may not feel super sacred while scrubbing your tub) it is a powerful way to clear out energies that you don’t want in your home while infusing it with intentions, blessings, and the energy that you want to keep within your home. This is where we get the, your home is your sanctuary, or your home should rise up to greet you when you walk through the door. Both of these adages are true and impact all areas of our lives.

Whether you’re lightly cleaning or you’re giving your sanctuary a deep clean and refresh, know that you’re resetting and rebooting your home back to its factory setting that you’ve chosen for yourself and your family. You can always add upgrades by including new intentions and blessings for your home while you clean.

Work With Your Angels and Guides:

You can ask your angels and your guides to clear your home and property of any energies that are not a fit for you and your home. (This doesn’t exempt you from cleaning.) This is a beautiful way to clear on an even deeper level while also bringing your spiritual support team into your day to day life.

Smudge:

You can smudge and sage your home and property to clear any dense energies that you would like to move along. Research also shows that sage is antibacterial and antimicrobial so it can support clearing the air in your home. Please never leave your sage burning unattended and keep away from little hands and paws.

Essential Oils:

Diffusing essential oils can be a deep emotional support while also filling your home with soothing, uplifting, and calming energies based on the oil you choose to diffuse. There are endless combinations you can choose to nurture a positive environment in your home. There are many oils that are antibacterial and antimicrobial too. Essential oils are made from plants, so bringing them into your home helps with grounding too. (If you’re looking for essential oils, send me a message and I’ll help you.)

Blessing Floor Wash:

I love this one. This one always feels very palpable to me and it makes me feel like I’m bringing something from the ancient past into my current modern life. I also love that you can make it different each time based on the intentions and needs of your current situation. It feels like a blessing, energy treatment, and huge hug for my home all at the same time.

You’ll Need:

• Your favorite natural hard floor cleaner

• Mop and Bucket

• Water

• Variety of Fresh Picked Herbs from your kitchen garden (or from the farmers market or from your neighbor) Lavender, Rosemary, Mint, and Sage are some great options, but choose whatever calls to you to create your blessing floor wash.

How To:

• Fill your mop bucket like usual with water and cleaner of your choice

• Rub the whole fresh herbs between your hands to release the scent and oils and then add them to the water (no need to cut or separate the flowers from the stems)

• Add intentions and blessings to the water

• You can ask your angels and guides to bless your water too if you feel guided.

• Then, mop your home as usual.

The herbaceous water will fill your home while also cleaning and blessing your home and all who live with you.

You will be able to smell all the herbs and feel the shift from the ground up in your home. This is a physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually infused clearing and you will be able to feel it.

I hope these ideas will help you to clear you and your home from these heavy or dense energies that are impacting all of us right now. Please know that you’re not alone even if you’re sheltering in place alone.

Being gentle with yourself is the first and foremost area to focus on right now.

Try to go at your own pace and treat yourself with tender loving care as we all take this one day at a time.

My hope is that some of these ideas will be a fit for you which will support you in feeling more like yourself and support you in treating yourself with kindness and care.

Please know that there’s no one way to do this, there’s only the ways that are right for you today, right now in this moment.

I’m sending you so much support and gentle energy from my little corner of the world.

We’re in this together even though we’re physically apart.

With love,

Kristy~ xoxo

7 Ways to Boost Your Wellness

While we find ourselves in the middle of cold and flu season + inundated with news stories about COVID-19, you may find health and wellness on your mind right now.

I’ve included some powerful + easy ways to boost your wellness this season for you below.

1. Wash Your Hands:
   This one may seem silly to include but it’s a powerful way to keep you well this season.

2. Sanitize Your Most Used Items:
   Wipe down your phone, computer, tablet, remotes, ear buds, glasses, steering wheel, key chains, door knobs, counters, faucets, and light switches.

3. Air Quality:
   Change the Air Filter In Your Home and if possible, in your Office

4. Increase Vitamin C:
   Add lemon, lime, or grapefruit to your water to give your body a boost of vitamin C. You can also take a high quality vitamin C supplement.

5. Water:
   Drink lots of water to keep your body hydrated and to support your body in moving toxins out.

6. Eat Nutrient Dense Foods:
   Increase green leafy foods, whether you feel guided to eat them or drink them in a green drink.

7. Sleep:
   We need sleep so that our bodies can restore, replenish, and repair. Take some time to create a gentle space that’s conducive to good solid sleep. If you’re having a hard time getting solid sleep, you may need to take small naps during the day too.

Bonus Tips:

• Use a Neti Pot or other nasal rinse system to keep your sinuses hydrated and clear of debris or infection. You can find these at any natural food store or online shops.

• Use a humidifier to help keep the air in your home hydrated so your skin can absorb the moisture to support your hydration. (This is especially important if you’re running your heating and/ or fire place as these heating sources dry out the air.)

• Stretch your body and do gentle exercise, including walking to help release any toxins that could be holding space within your body.

• Weather Permitting, air out your home, even for 10 or 15 minutes to bring clean air inside.

• Avoid places and spaces with large crowds or places with people who are sick; including public transportation.

I’m wishing you a wonderful week and hope this list will support you in boosting your wellness this season. With love,
Kristy~ xoxo
