Mindfulness and Self Care

Millennials cop a lot of criticism. Some of it's fair, most of it's recycled, and almost none of it accounts for the fact that our most annoying habits are also, somehow, our best ones. Here are seven things that are genuinely wrong with us, and why I can't quite bring myself to be sorry about any of them.

Aura cleansing has been around in various forms for centuries, but it's had a real resurgence lately and a lot of the beginner content out there is either too woo-woo or too vague to actually be useful. This post covers what an aura is, why people cleanse it, and how to do it practically using plants and herbs you can get hold of right now in summer. No special equipment needed.

Everyone talks about grief hitting hardest in winter, and it does, but summer has its own particular difficulty. The light stays too long, everyone around you seems to be having the best time, and there's nowhere to hide. This is a journaling protocol built for that specific pressure.

Summer arrives and suddenly your diary fills up before you've even agreed to anything. Everyone wants a piece of your time, and somehow saying no feels worse in June than it does in January. It doesn't have to be that way.

The shift into summer is one of those rare moments in the year when slowing down actually feels possible. Longer days, looser schedules, a genuine reason to step outside before 8am. These five morning rituals won't overhaul your life, but they might make the start of your day feel a lot less reactive and a lot more yours.
