Part 2/2 - “Nothing is Perfect. It is safe to try.”
The other tool I use is breath work - specifically 2-to-1 Breathing (also known as 4-7-8).
Even though we forget to do it (thank you Body for helping us with that!), we all know the relief (and release) we can feel by taking a deep breath. 2-to-1 breathing takes that a step further - having you exhale for twice as long as you inhale (or inhaling for 4 counts, holding for 7, exhaling for 8). Doing this puts your body into a parasympathetic state which is the opposite of flight/fight and can help reduce your anxiety. Just make sure you are expanding your belly and filling up your lungs as you breathe (think of your lungs and belly as an umbrella and OPEN them up - breathing all the way up into your head and then letting it wash over you as you slowly, calmly exhale through your mouth).
Feels good, right? This is also such a great exercise to do with kids when they’re feeling upset - just have them put their hands on their bellies and count with them until they’re back in a calm state.
Getting back into our bodies is such a hard thing to remember sometimes, but the benefits are so worth it.✨

Nothing is perfect. It is safe to try.
This is what I told myself when I couldn’t get out of bed the other morning. There was fear sitting in the pit of my stomach that I couldn't shake. Fear around starting a project and not being able to do it "right." Memories of making mistakes in the past and being judged or shamed for them. These thoughts were keeping me paralyzed and I had to find a way to release them.
//
Being an organizer, I have a list a mile long of the ways I can get ahead in the day, but this state of mind - being paralyzed by fear required a different one. So, I ended up tapping into these tools from my kit:
1) I used a Mantra - believe it or not, our own voice is the one we trust most closely. So, when we tell ourselves something - whether it's the truth or a lie - we are our biggest influencer. That's where a mantra comes in. It's easy to dismiss Mantras as being woo-woo, or maybe you tried them before and then nothing happened, so it might be helpful to look at this a different way.
Mantras are Just. Words. And when we do or say something on repeat, that's when we start to form a habit - the same way we did in school. By repeating a Mantra, the purpose is not to say a random phrase that you don't believe is real. The purpose is to create a goal for your brain to reach and to find out why you may not believe it in the first place - so you eventually can. This is what I did with "Nothing is perfect. It is safe to try." It wasn't the most far-fetched thing I could say. It was just believable enough to help me take the next step.
Part 2 to be continued in the next post!
In the meantime, tell me - what Mantra are you working on this month?

Time to Organize Tuesday! This is one of my favorite Kitchen transformations so far! This client never thought it was possible for her space to look like this and now it's a WHOLE lot easier for her to access + use.
We first got rid of expired and unused items, then categorized - moving things like baggies and foil to the bottom cabinet, creating a coffee/tea/snack station, and storing the less frequently used glasses & mugs in a higher cabinet.
(p.s. One of my favorite 😍 things to do when organizing is to create a Coffee + Tea station with all the special extras to start your day off right!☕️Drop me a line and tell me how you start your day off right?)
Then we got busy containing like with like - and the right containers make all the difference. Spices were paired together, then oils & sauces, and grains & dry goods. Tiered shelves were used to separate plates and bowls so that they're easier to grab.
If you'd like to book a session, get organized + start the Year off right, DM me for more info!

Happy New Year everyone! Ha! I think I’m a little behind 😂. Did anyone else feel the shifts from the Lunar Eclipse + this month’s Full Moon?? 🙋🏼‍♀️🙋🏼‍♀️🙋🏼‍♀️🙋🏼‍♀️
Even though I’m a little behind on my plans for the New Year, I’m taking my own advice and accepting what is even if it’s not where I wanted to be. And now that I’ve had a chance to catch-up and reflect on the year behind - what worked and what didn’t - there are 3 tools I’m using to help me stay focused on making the 1st 90 days really effective this year - and I wanted to share them here with you. Ready?
#1 - Do the 20%.
What does this mean? If you’re not familiar with the Pareto principle, it states that 80% of our results come from 20% of our input, so doing the 20% means that my to-do list focuses on the things that are really going to “move the needle” and make the most impact in my business. 👍🏻
2) 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 - (thanks for this one !). Sometimes when I think of a project, it can feel overwhelming and it’s hard to even get started. This prompt gets you moving even when your emotional brain is saying “No, thanks”. In return, you can tell yourself “I love you, but you’re more than capable of making this happen, so - 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 - let’s do it!”
In other words - Act Before You Think.
#3 - Just Decide. Decide to make the plans. Decide to follow through. Decide to go bigger. Just decide. Because the biggest breakthroughs happen when we make them happen.
As we move into the Soaring 20’s(!), I’m expanding my business from not just Professional Organizing in the Home, but also into Productivity Consulting - helping you create + implement time management, scheduling, & budgeting processes that will save you time And Money! Let me help you achieve the goals you are looking to make happen in 2020. DM me for more info. Here’s to a great year ahead! ✨✨✨.

This Holiday season was spent with these 3 beautiful, talented women - family, yes, but also friends. We laughed until we cried, had endless amounts of fun and there was never a dull moment. I am so grateful for their beautiful hearts and the joy they bring to my life every time we’re together.

So as the holiday season, year & decade come to a close, hold your loved ones and the memories you’ve made with them as close as you possibly can. May they carry you through when you need it the most.

There are a few words that will lead me into 2020, but more than anything, I want to do this - Just. Show. Up. And not let it matter if I “win” or “lose” or do more or less than I anticipated, I just want to be in the game. So here’s to accepting what may come next year before we even get started.💕

We all know the Holidays are a time for giving, but how open are you to receiving? Not just holiday gifts, but all year round? So often we give of ourselves, yet decline the simplest gifts that others give us. A helping hand, a cup of tea ... time. Receiving is something I want to practice more of this year - accepting help and gifts of time or service just as much as I give them. One thing I’ve noticed is how utterly feminine the act of receiving is - because it requires us to soften - to be open and vulnerable. So the next time someone offers you a gift and you are ready to say no, I challenge you to say yes instead and notice how many more gifts you find when you do.✨
Our last Gathering + Full Moon Circle of the year is this Thursday - come join us from 7-10 as we let go of what’s not serving us, set our intentions for the New Year & receive the gift of community together. The wonderful will be reading tarot and there will be small bites provided. Link in bio to book✨

What have you valued most in 2019?
//
I was working last night on Discovering my Core Values - work that had given me to go through and it was no surprise that I highly value Aesthetics & Home, but I was glad to officially add Community and Learning/Growth to that list - things that are highly important to me.
//
I want you to know I am so grateful for you - the community I’ve met - especially over the last year - and for the time we’ve spent together that has been so meaningful to me. I value you. And I can’t wait to see this community grow even more in the year ahead. That’s why I’m so excited for the upcoming Gathering on December 12th - because it means I will get to connect even more deeply and give back to the community who has made a difference in my life. We’ll spend the evening exploring the year behind us - releasing what no longer serves, then set new intentions + empower new beliefs for the year ahead under a Full Moon. Please join us if you are looking to build your community and usher in the new year with intention. Link in bio to book✨

Today officially marks 1 year in business as Ritual Living Co. Last November I knew I could no longer drag my feet or keep this as a side hustle or a dream - I had to do it for real. So I (finally) decided on a name, bought a domain, created an Instagram page and planned out my thoughts. The thoughts & dreams that had been brewing for the last 10 years. I have learned so much in the last year and there's still so much to learn. Mostly, it always comes down to honoring my intuition - constantly re-aligning with what I know I want to do - however afraid of doing it I may be. So, Happy Birthday Ritual Living Co. - here's to all of us - my fellow entrepreneurs, girl bosses & sheros who are kicking a** and refusing to settle when it comes to your dreams.✨

Just a little note to tell you it is safe to follow your desires. It is safe to put yourself out there. It is safe to do what feels uncomfortable - because it's only growth - and it's the only way to get to where you want to be.✨
