I feel a rare rush of energy and excitement on a Monday morning, as I click the send button on this newsletter. Welcome to this new weekly short column of sorts, morning coffee crumbs, where I give you all something to perhaps think about during your monday morning coffee, transit to work, or your little moment of procrastination before you get sucked into the work cycle for the day and the rest of the week.
I love the mindset of keeping the good days feeling good by designing our spaces to feel 'rosy'. I love having a clean space with lots of natural light, it makes my mind feel clearer and I feel like I cope better when things get tough. I also always have my favourite music on and a hot cup of coffee -- both of these just make my heart happy 🤎
Completely agree! I think there is a subconscious benefit to adjusting our spaces in small ways, weather that's by having more light in our space or changing the sounds we're surrounded by - sometimes relaxing instrumentals, comfort songs, or even purposeful silence can makes us feel more in control of what's happening in our day to day whether good or bad.
!!!! I’ve been sleeping with my blinds open so I can wake up to the sunrise, if not at the very least, let my body feel the sunshine before I wake up, and it feels game changing for my mood!
also I love the note about how even the particularity of the sound can invoke different responses or different reflections of sorts - something I want to pay attention to maybe tomorrow to see how my subconscious is affected bc of sound! thanks for this 💓
life is truly better when you romanticize the little things :) ✨

The natural light is such an understated pick-me-up, I swear!!
