It was 6am on a Saturday morning... 🌞 It was one of those days I woke up naturally (gross, I know). I made myself some coffee. Plopped down on the couch, pulled out my tablet and was reading "You Are Here" by Thich Nhat Hahn. My kitty curled up next to me. The house was still. Sun peaking through the blinds. 🌞 In that moment I felt the greatest rush of gratitude I had ever experienced. I became aware of how much I loved the life I was living. I was excited by the dreams I had. I was proud of myself. 🌞 That simple morning was the beginning of the best days of my life. 🌞 #6amonasaturday (at Boston, Massachusetts)

I was SUPER proud of this. . The frittata.....and my clever caption 👵🍳 . Got 8 eggs? A package of frozen spinach? A couple onions? An oven you can set to 350 degrees? A frying pan, olive oil and garlic? Dash of salt and pepper? 10 min to sauteed up the veggies and garlic? A pie dish and some coconut oil to prevent stickage? A fork to swirl around the eggs you cracked and the cooked spinach and onion? Some hands to pour the frittata mix into that pie dish and put it in the preheated oven? 25-30 min to tinker through Instagram while convection works it's wonders on your frittata masterpiece and follow kick ass people that I'm a huge fan of? {@jillfit @negharfonooni @jensinkler @girlsgonestrong @bestliferesults @wildblueberrystudio @carorobss @garyvee @elizajmloves @achangpt @sophiamariebanda @doggosdoingthings to name a few... } .

Let's talk about {dis}comfort zones. . Whenever I am given the opportunity to travel for my job, I do my best to get out and explore at least one new place. While I'm usually traveling alone, this means I'm taking myself on a solo trip to go see that monument, try that new restaurant or visit that museum. . Historically, I was horrified by the idea of saying "table for one 🙋" Because "ew omg everyone is going to think I'm some sad lonely loser". . But then I got a little older, wiser, read a few books, and followed a few inspiring people who have pretty much got me sold 💯 that the *best things in life* are found in your #discomfortzone. . These days I like to live my life in *pursuit* of the unknown, of things that push my boundaries and may teach me something or introduce me to someone new. . Now it may not quite be one of the "best things in life", but without this explorative gumption I've cultivated, I would never have visited the Natural History Museum during my trip this week and learned that Binturongs are a thing that exist in Southeast Asia. Who knew. . . #traveltips #tableforone #pursuitofhappiness #explorativegumption #binturong #6amonasaturday .

You know, just a little light reading 💀 . About a year ago, I set a goal for myself to read more books. Grad school had pretty much taken all joy out of picking up a book to read, but I wanted to get back into the habit of reading for pleasure. . So what did I do? I took small steps to build this habit. I picked a book and set it on my nightstand so it was easy to grab. For the first week, I set the goal that every night before bed, I would read at least 1 page (Yes. 1 page. I said small steps, right?) . Once this started to become a ritual, I naturally began to choose to crawl into bed a little earlier so I could read more before I fell asleep (which, for those who know me well, know = lights out before 10 pm 👵🏻) . Now, I read nearly every night before bed, and have started to foster a new habit of reading mindset and "how-to-kick-ass" type books early in the morning to get my day started (tip gleaned from my girl @negharfonooni 😘) . You can't embrace a new habit without taking that first step. And even if it may seem insignificant at the time, small steps are big steps 👟👟 . What is that *one thing* you know you enjoy doing and makes you happy, but never make time for? What is one small step you can take today to start building towards that habit? . . . #habitualhappiness #betterthanbefore #mindfulaf #healthyhabits #happyhabits #smallstepsarebigsteps #6amonasaturday . 📷 @wildblueberrystudio @carorobss (at Tres Gatos)

This. . Say it. . Tell that friend. Remind that family member. Appreciate that stranger. . It may feel awkward at first. Telling that friend you appreciate when they text just to say hi. Reminding that family member that you love them. Appreciating that stranger's hair, outfit, kind smile... Whatever it is that strikes you as beautiful. Say it. . Now more than ever we need to be kind. Be grateful. Be appreciative. . If you see something beautiful in someone, speak it. .
