    6 mugs to help you set your daily intention

    motto

    I love rituals. Because I’m not a morning person, I came up with a few rituals to make them a little easier. One awesome piece of advice I heard recently from Arianna Huffington is to consciously avoid your phone or media as you wake up so you can set your intention for yourself every morning. When you start your day by reading emails or articles before you give yourself a few breaths, you allow someone else to set the tone of your day.

    It takes a lot of discipline to achieve this, but while you’re practicing grab a physical reminder of what you set out to do every day. Here are 6 inspirational mugs to give you a daily reminder of the path you want to take. While I encouraged everyone to start their morning with a slow cup of tea, I love me a café au lait or a dirty chai latte. Pour up your caffeinated beverage of choice, and let your mug be your guide.

    What We Can All Learn About Living from the Regrets of the Dying

    A self-reflection inspired by Bronnie Ware’s Regrets of the Dying

    regrets-of-the-dying

    Last week, my mom shared an article with me from Australian author Bronnie Ware titled Regrets of the Dying written by. Based on the somewhat morbid title, I wasn’t sure what to expect when I clicked through the link. What I found, was a surprisingly insightful reflection on the meaning of life and the path to true happiness. Bronnie’s narrative made me stop and consider the choices I was making in my life. She had me wondering if I would end up the way many of her patients had, full of regrets, or if I was doing things the “right way”.

    I was so inspired and moved by the article that I felt compelled to share it with all of you. I encourage you all to read this repost of her original article and to use it for your own self-reflection. In Bonnie’s words, remember:

    “Life is a choice. It is YOUR life. Choose consciously, choose wisely, choose honestly. Choose happiness.”

    The Single Diaries Challenges You to Focus on the Here and Now

    At The Single Diaries, one of the things we believe is that we must dare ourselves to be better every day. We must challenge ourselves to learn something new, to take personal risks, and to work hard at reaching our dreams. It is why we built this supportive community—to propel each other forward towards our own personal best.
    A key ingredient in this recipe for success is to first figure out what it is that you’re after. In order to reach our personal best, we have to first define what that looks like. Whatever area of your life you’re looking for growth, take a minute to stop and get really clear on what it is we hope to achieve.
    To kick the exercise into motion we thought we’d take the first step by sharing one personal goal we’re working on each quarter.
    For fall, we’re dedicating ourselves to focusing on living in the moment. We know the season is full of change from the color of the leaves to the start of new relationships, new living arrangements, and new careers. With the bustle of activity this time of year brings, it can be hard to remember to appreciate the here and the now.
    We challenge you to join us over the next few months to work on living in the moment or whatever goal you’ve set for yourself.
    Read on for a compilation of inspiration to get you started:
