Hello and Welcome Back to Going Gentle, where we talk about strategies we can use to decrease our stress and increase our peace! 
For this week's video, we're talking about the Mundane; and how we can choose to be present with all the tasks we do on a daily basis rather than getting stressed out and pressured by what we need to do next. 

Do you always find yourself in a hurry to get things done? All the time, right? 
We just can't seem to slow down our pace enough to actually appreciate our own efforts when we do what needs doing! 

Well, we can change that! Watch the video to get my take on the mundane and how we can approach it completely differently for well being and self care in the process. 

Every moment matters in this life; why waste it stressing out when we can bring calm and peace to our every day? 

Let's determine together to pay attention, stay aware and be in the MOMENT as much as possible. Our hearts (and bodies!) will thank us! 

JOURNALING PROMPT: 
What was the last mundane tasks you did? Where was your mind as you accomplished that task? Thinking ahead? Were you stressed out or calm in the process? 
Note the details of that time and strategize how you can Stay in the Moment the next time and see how different you feel. 

What sense do you like to use when staying in the moment with a task? 
Consistent awareness can really help to make the mundane more magical! Imagine that! 

​Remember that GENTLE is Magic! 

Well, here is a Big Unexpected Surprise! Welcome to my new blog, Going Gentle! It's been something on my heart for about 18 months and I decided to follow through with where my heart was leading me. So here we are! 

What is Going Gentle about? Essentially, really recognizing what your own aesthetic is and gently implementing the smallest of steps to uplevel your creativity in every area of your life and do so with confidence! 

I will continue to share the content you have come to expect: journaling, creative tips for your Gentle Journey and some fashion inspiration to Gently break out of the box to inspire Freedom in the way you dress. 

I love feeling confident with every decision I make and every step I take, and I want you to feel the same way. 
And Going Gentle means slowing down enough to know what decision is right for you in any situation. When you Go Gentle, it's Magical. 

So, without further ado, Here we go with our Walk & Chat with Dawn video, where I share a word about The Unexpected and what that Gentle approach could look like for you going forward. 

Sometimes the Unexpected is a Delight and sometimes, not so much. We may find ourselves getting derailed. So, watch the video for my take on self care during difficult times that we didn't see coming.

Journaling Prompt:
How can you Go Gentle with yourself when met with an unexpected life event?

Make a list of those activities that nourish your soul and support you when you're stressed. And remember to breathe! Nice deep breathes, inhale, exhale. Inhale Gentleness, Exhale stress. 

Wishing you well with whatever is unexpected in your life right now.
