“No” is a word we use entirely too little. But when it comes to setting boundaries, saying “no” is what allows you to create room to focus on what is impactful for you. We shouldn’t feel guilty for not doing more for others when we are barely doing enough for ourselves.

Plan out your “no’s” in advance and figure out what’s most comfortable for you. That way the next time you get an invitation or request that you cannot accept, you can hit them with a “No,” or “I can’t,” or even “Not this time.”

I am definitely one for cluttering up my home office with junk, but I try to have at least a few items that bring me joy through all the mess. Finding ways to calm your mind when everything is unsettled is vital, and these items give me the just the hint of calm I need to get through those days.

My pink rose and pepper scented candles, my abstract paintings, and my little palm tree are just a few of the items that work for me.

Take some time to find a few pieces that will bring you joy in the middle of your day. Then let me know in the comments what items work for you! ✨
