How to Make Life More Luxurious – It’s Not What You Think!

01

I’m a firm believer that the Universe gives you exactly what you’re putting out into the Universe! That’s why I love the quote below…It’s kind of a hard pill to swallow, but if you’re not happy…chances are, it’s your own fault. Keep reading for some steps to take to improve your life. You’ll probably read them and think they’re no brainers, but chances are, you’re falling short on a few and there is probably room for improvement! I know 100% that is the case with me! I’m also including some products that make relaxing easier, cooking more joyful, reading a pleasure and your home more beautiful! Let’s all get motivated today to live our best lives everyday…pure and simple!

It’s very simple…If You’re Not Changing It, You’re Choosing It!

Give Yourself a Little Love

Move often. When we move we connect back to our body and allow its energy to move around. Walk, run, dance, flow, work out…whatever brings you back into your beautiful temple.

Be mindful of your food. We literally are what we eat. So, neither deprive yourself, nor eat processed junk food, but eat a balanced nutritious diet. Drink lots of water and get into the kitchen to explore some new mouthwatering dishes that feed your body and soul.

Stop feeding your brain junk food…don’t over consume news, stop watching reality TV, and be mindful of whom you follow and how much time you spend on social media. Most everyone spends time on Facebook, Instagram or some other social media platform, just make sure it’s time well spent…motivational and inspiring.

Sleep well and enough. Limit screen time to 2 hours before bed and get enough sleep to allow your body to recharge. Sleep can have a huge impact on your health, so lights off early for a good nights sleep.

Be Intentional with your time. Time is the most precious thing we have. Be aware with whom and how you spend it. Listen to your gut and when something feels worth doing, follow that feeling.

Create something that sparks your soul. Make time to play regularly, whatever that is for you. Something that you fully enjoy doing, that gets you into the flow…when time stands still.

Spend time alone. Take yourself out for a nice date (if you can go out), walk or do whatever resonates with you. Make sure you take time to truly be with yourself without a to-do list.

Invest in the ones you love. Quality over quantity here! You cannot have capacity for too many people so invest in the relationships that are the most special. Talk to them often, give them your presence, love and kindness. It will come back to you and fill both your hearts.

Do gratitude work. It might be writing in a journal and listing three things you’re grateful for each day, meditating or anything that stops your monkey mind. Focusing each day on what you are grateful for is grounding and enriching and it shifts your perspective to the good things in your life.

Forgive yourself for the past and move on!

    Loved this!!! All of your tips are very helpful in choosing to live life fulfilled. Sometimes we loose focus on what really matters, and most often it’s right in front of our eyes.

      Hi Nancy!

      This is so true! I’ve started making a few changes and it feels really good! I’m going to follow up in two weeks and talk about it! Thank you so much for reading and commenting!

  2. Suzanne,

    Thank you for these beautiful and gentle reminders to be kind and loving to ourselves!

  3. Becky says:

    Loved this! ❤️ So easy to do, I guess I just needed to read it. I’m so in!!
    Thank you!

  4. I love all these tips…and I do fall short of intentionally doing them. I put a lot on the back burner- and if that’s too often it starts to reflect. Gratitude, time for loved ones and ourselves are really important. But the having fun and creating really is a huge part as well. Moving and good nutrition so important – I have to lay off the sugar though..it does become an addiction. Suzanne I love the pics you post as well- so beautiful always. Have a great week! Xx

  5. Barbara says:

    Love all this! So wise! So good! Thank you, Suzanne! Exactly what we all needed to be reminded of as we slowly move forward during these unprecedented times. Hugs to you and your family- which includes Amos! 😊💕

  6. Ruth says:

    Another beautiful and thoughtful post Suzanne! As always, enjoy reading your awesome blog!

  7. Nina says:

    Thank you for the reminders. I have been feeling a little low over the past several days…nothing specific…going to take your prescription and work on these things for a while. It’s so easy for us to slip away with all that is going on.

  8. Kelley McCoy says:

    Such great advice Suzanne! I have definitely limited my time of watching the news lately. It has definitely helped lower my anxiety.

    My favorite tip was ‘do gratitude work’! I am a huge believer in this.

    XO,

    Kelley
