Calm in Change

It’s been a month since I moved from the Marina to JVC, and I couldn’t be happier. Life here is peaceful and slower, with that cosy neighbourhood feel. My new studio is brand new, minimalist, and calm, everything has its place. I’ve decluttered so much I’ve become a bit OCD about organization, but it feels amazing. Home shopping has become my new hobby, my new favourite find is a tiny angel figurine that reminds me to stay humble and grateful. I’ve also been cooking simple, homemade meals—protein, veggies, and rice and enjoying the small rituals of creating a home.

Choosing Gratitude and Growth

I’ve been reflecting a lot on gratitude, especially for the ability to move my body and move my life forward. Change can be uncomfortable, but it’s also powerful. I’ve made many new choices lately: moving neighborhoods, traveling, and becoming more intentional at work. Yet beneath the gratitude, there’s a lot I want to change and refine. I’m learning to navigate the discomfort. Today, I picked up a book for the first time in four weeks, and it instantly shifted my energy. The book reminded me that our thoughts shape everything, and that we always have the power to reframe, to choose better ones. It talked about nourishing our minds, replacing the negative with empowering thoughts.

Art of Boundaries

And then there’s the beautiful (and messy) art of boundaries. Learning to say “no” used to feel uncomfortable for me, but now it feels like self-respect. I’ve realized that setting boundaries and what I give my time to. It feels healthy, empowering, and long overdue. I’ve learned that when I stop overextending myself, I actually have more energy for the things that make me happy. Boundaries helped me create space for balance, clarity, and authenticity. It’s still a work in progress, but with some no’s freedom comes.

Little Joys

I recently watched A Big Bold Beautiful Journey at the cinema and loved it, it mirrored how I feel about love and growth right now. I’ve also been meaning to start my YouTube videos, but home organizing has taken over (soon, though!). For now, I’m embracing this slower, more mindful chapter.

Have a beautiful Sunday. Until next week.
