Mindfulness means paying attention to what you’re thinking and feeling, as well as what’s happening around you, with an open and curious mind. Noticing what is happening around you in the present moment will help build a deeper connection to your inner strength and wisdom.

Self Reflection

Posted on September 26, 2026 by msw blog

Write at the top of the page: What am I now free-to?

Then reflect:

  • What version of freedom have I been taught to settle for?
  • Where in my life am I still living only in freedom from, and not yet freedom to?
  • What would it mean to include myself in the future I am building?
  • What have I been taught to want less of that I may actually deserve more of?
  • What kind of freedom would allow my wholeness to be fully present?

Close with: In this season, I am claiming the freedom to ________.

Empty boxes

Empty boxes — shipping boxes, product boxes, even unused storage containers — take up space and get in the way. Remove them from your orbit! Put the broken electronics and unmended clothes and gross old toothbrushes in them and get rid of all of it!

Declutter Your Hair Accessories

Posted on September 25, 2026 by msw blog

Hair accessories, products or tools from two hair styles ago…Maybe it’s a bottle of purple conditioner from your short-lived platinum blond era or the round brush you bought when you decided to cut bangs or those clips you bought when you admitted the bangs were a mistake and set about growing them out. If it’s intended for a hairstyle you no longer have, it’s clutter that’s taking up valuable bathroom storage space.
