Things I Believe in This Week.

Enjoying what you like to the fullest, no matter what anyone else says. Something that has confused me lately is people saying things like, “Oh my gosh, can you stop with the pumpkin spice latte?! It’s overrated and I hate pumpkin.” Why is this a thing?! I love pumpkin. PSL’s are one of my favorite things about fall. Sure, they’re way popular…for a reason. Let’s let everyone just enjoy what they like. 

Waking up a little bit earlier to have a little bit extra time is always worth it. Those few quiet moments in the morning are GOLD. 

Also worth it: Pushing yourself just a little bit outside of your comfort zone. I am incredibly introverted when it comes to new things and new people (something I’m trying to change!) and because of this, I’ve always kind of avoided having people over. What if it’s awkward? What if I burn dinner? What if my house isn’t clean enough, or my baby cries the whole time? What if I’m awkward and we can’t find anything to talk about? 

Having the new house and being in a new town has pushed me to want to get over this, and we’ve been inviting some new friends to dinner, and not only has it not been terrible, but it’s actually been really fun. 

Realizing that you’re not a failure just because you didn’t mark everything off of your to-do list. Or even half of everything. Life happens, and it rarely happens according to a to-do list. 

Yoga. I am laughing at myself even just typing this, but I have fallen crazy in love with yoga. I had a very terrible, rotten, no good day yesterday, and I had all but decided to skip all workout-related things. But I decided to go ahead and do the day of yoga (I’m doing 30 Days of Yoga with Adriene) and it ended up being exactly what I needed. Deep breaths, deep stretches, deep focusing. Seriously, I love it.
