You’re always evolving, even when it's World Cup & Chill time. ⚽ That's 'intentional idleness.' Read on to try it out: [BIO LINK] Fact: Humans are the only species that feel the need to be busy. 💃 But taking time to chill/play helps our busy brains relax, which can = more creativity + good vibes. This weekend, find 1 way to get *intentionally idle.* Maybe it's an IRL game of soccer, cheering on a World Cup team with friends, or even just a joyous phone-free walk. 📵 Give yourself permission to slow down. P.S. How 'creative destruction' can help you think outside the box 🗃️ [BIO LINK] #MyShineText #MyDailyShine #ShineText #MyShine #EmbraceAllTheFeels (at Wynwood)

😦 Feeling stuck between relax-mode and hustle-mode? Yup, we all get in those ruts. Today, ask yourself: Do I need a push or a pull? We go through highs, lows—and a whole lot of 'meh' mediums in between. 🎢 And those little ruts? They can be frustrating, even if they don't feel like a 'big deal.' Today, if you hit a rut, think: Do I need a little *push* from myself (ex. shake up your routine), or do I need a *pull* from a motivating person (ex. anything Oprah)? See what you need, then start with baby steps. 👣👣 P.S. How to push past imposter syndrome: [BIO LINK] #MyShineText #MyDailyShine #ShineText #MyShine #EmbraceAllTheFeels (at South Miami, Florida)

The space between 'your best self' & how you're *really* feeling today? Roll with it. Vulnerability tightens bonds. 🙌 Read on for why: [BIO LINK] Yup, studies show that opening up about what's *really* going on—beyond 'I'm fine'—can lead to closer relationships and better self-esteem. Today, find 1 way to let your 'best self' guard down. Maybe it's honestly responding to that 'How are you?' or, sharing that you've been through that *same* tough thing, too. Your real self is your best self. P.S. How to *accept* and *embrace* your mistakes: [BIO LINK] #MyShineText #MyDailyShine #ShineText #MyShine #EmbraceAllTheFeels (at Coral Gables, Florida)

Want to get fired up for the week? Remember: ‘Energy goes where attention flows.’ 🌊 Today, *visualize* a good week first.While it might feel cheesy, studies show that *visualizing* ourselves tackling the week primes us to feel more capable when situations pop up IRL. Plus: It gives us momentum. Today, take 2 for a quick visualization. 1. Think: How could this day be better or improve? 2. Visualize: Yourself *doing* those things. 3. Do: Take action. See, then seize, the day! P.S. More ways to feel energized in your day-to-day: [BIO LINK] #MyShineText #MyDailyShine #ShineText #MyShine #EmbraceAllTheFeels (at Miami, Florida)

No matter how your week went down, it can *still* be a good one. Yup, studies show how you end an experience defines it. Today, create a 'peak end.' According to the peak-end rule: the way an experience ends determines how much happiness we take from it. Ex. Ice cream line is long—but it's all good once you get a cone. 🍦 Today, find 1 way to create a 'peak-end' to the week. Maybe it's a walk with a friend, baking a sweet treat, a solo dance party, or indulging in a 'Riverdale' marathon. Do something that feels like (or, ya know, is) dessert. 🍦🍧🍨🍩🍪🍰🍫🍬🍭 P.S.

You need alone-time at some point today. But serving up a ‘Sorry, I can’t’ isn’t always easy. Read on for the 1 question to help you beat ‘boundary guilt’: [BIO LINK] When we cater to other peoples' needs before ours ('Sure, I can grab coffee,' 'Sure, I can make 10lbs of queso by 3pm!') we leave our energy + happiness up to someone else. Today, start from a place of 'What do I need?' Maybe it's not a coffee break but a solo walk. Or, maybe it's saying 'no' to a hangout and 'yes' to that night in. You do you, girl —and know you deserve it! P.S. We need your feedback to make Shine even more 🔥: [BIO LINK] #MyShineText #MyDailyShine #ShineText #MyShine #EmbraceAllTheFeels (at Miami, Florida)

Side-eyeing a task like, ‘I don’t got this’? No sweat — learnings that feel tough stick more. Today, seek “desirable difficulty.” Studies show the best learning requires 'desirable difficulty'—aka that 'this is new + tough' feeling. That mental burn = our brains actively building new connections. Today, lean into difficulty. Can't master that tough convo? Struggling to create that presentation? See it less as 'I don't got this' and more as 'I'm working my way there.' Own your effort! ✊🏼 P.S.

Deep breath in; it's a new week. Before you jump in, remember your power to act > react. Today, try the '5 second rule.' When we operate with a 'reactionary mindset,' aka constantly responding to what pops up (ex. emails, texts), we let the day run us—and lose time for what matters most. Today, try the '5 Second Rule.' When you feel yourself hesitate before doing something you want to get done, count 5-4-3-2-1-GO to move towards action. Do what matters most to *you* first—then, let Monday chime in. P.S. How *displacement* can help you prioritize: [BIO LINK] #MyShineText #MyDailyShine #ShineText #MyShine #EmbraceAllTheFeels (at Coconut Grove)

Our Friday wish: that you have the engaging convos you deserve. Read on to beat ‘phubbing’— getting snubbed by the phone: Studies show that when we put our phones away 📵 , our convos (shockingly!) = higher-quality and more engaging. It helps everyone feel heard. The next time you feel 'phubbed,' speak your needs. Try one of these lines: -'When you're on your phone, it makes me feel...' -'So there's this thing called phubbing...'Or, just sing 'em a TLC remix: 'No, I don't want no phub.' P.S.

You are a human *being,* not a human *doing,*. Today, make like a jellyfish (trust, we'll explain) + own a productive break. 🌊 Jellyfish = self-care goals. Why? In order to move forward, they have to contract and then *relax.* Progress doesn't *happen* without taking little breaks. Today, challenge yourself to a guilt-free cooldown. Stroll around the block, tidy up that desk 😬, take a few deep breaths—unwind for a sec, then get back to it. Just keep swimming—but take a breath, too. P.s.

Your Tuesday reminder: We *all* get stuck sometimes. One hack? Get out of your head and into your friends' inbox. Research says so. Try these 6 starter tips. [BIO LINK] An act of kindness releases feel-good chemicals (sometimes called a 'helper's high'), which help us turn down stress and turn up our motivation (plus, ya know, help someone). Start today (or, push through that mid-day slump) with an act of kindness. Send a feel-good text to your BFF, treat a co-worker to coffee ☕, or take a sec to mentally send someone love. Do good and feel good, girl. P.S. 5 more 🔥 productivity hacks: [BIO LINK] #MyShineText #MyDailyShine #ShineText #MyShine #EmbraceAllTheFeels (at South Miami, Florida)

Big day. Why? You decide your filter for the week. 📸 Today, go for opportunity (what's possible?) over scarcity (what's not?). When we operate from a place of possibility (ex. I'm getting that promotion) instead of scarcity (ex. Yea, that job's not mine), we open ourselves up to things going right. Today, ask yourself "What's possible this week?" Ex. You put in the hours + nail that presentation, you get time with that BFF, you learn through the little mishaps. Be open to possibilities! P.S.
