051 | A Little Something for Me

I’m giving myself a gift—a little something for me to enjoy on the daily. I love a good project, the process, the outcome; but, a good project can become mentally all consuming for me and that’s not good for anyone. ⁣

So I’m giving myself a gift. I am simply making the choice to prioritize reading as part of my morning quiet time. I have so many books I want to read, so I’m taking a cue from Laura Tremaine and setting my timer to read for 20 minutes each morning. (I’m starting with her book 𝘚𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘠𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘚𝘵𝘶𝘧𝘧. 𝘐’𝘭𝘭 𝘎𝘰 𝘍𝘪𝘳𝘴𝘵 that I’ve been listening to on audiobook but want to focus on the reflection questions.)⁣⁣

Though I have been hyper-focused on cultivating sanctuary by restoring systems, order and organization in our physical space, my spirit is longing for its own space to breathe, process, heal, and imagine. Spending 20 minutes reading in the morning while my brain is fresh feels like a good investment.⁣

What gift might you give yourself to help cultivate sanctuary in your spirit?⁣
