June Intentions

 

And just like this it’s JUNE. Say. What!

There’s so much I’m looking forward to this month:

• Staying put all month after ALL the travel 😂
• Bar Method – Noho OPENING!
• Warm weather
• Spending as much time as possible outside (and hopefully at the beach + pool)
• Reading outside in Washington Square Park
• the Tony Awards
• my BFF will be in town from LA
• + lots more

June, I’m pretty hyped for you to say the least! Here are my intentions for the month:

✨ DECLUTTER and SIMPLIFY ✨

My apartment has been feeling like a hot mess lately. This month I want to focus on doing some major KonMari tidying up. I just sent 3 huge bags full of clothes I no longer wear to ThredUp. This month I want to take the time to reorganize my overflowing pantry and tidy-up my bookshelf. I know tidying up and decluttering will make me feel SO much better, I just need to actually do it…

 

✨ Lead with KINDNESS even when talking to myself ✨

I’ve been talking a lot on instagram about leading with kindness lately. I realized last week, though, that I wasn’t exactly doing that for myself. On Friday I went to Lululemon to try on some bathing suits I had been eying online. Suddenly in my own inner monologue I turned into a total mean girl, saying things about my body I would never say about a friend or a stranger. I’m ready to say girl, bye to that inner mean girl and clean up my own inner monologue. Ya gotta lead with kindness both when you talk to others AND when you talk to yourself.

 

✨ Be OKAY with being in transition✨

Oooh, girl, this one is gonna be TOUGH for me. I like schedule and routine. This month, though, I know there’s going to be a lot of unpredictable days as I wait for Bar Method – Noho to open. Rather than freaking out, I want to remember that this transition is temporary. I’ll find my new flow soon enough.

 

✨ Know the difference between being TIRED and lacking passion ✨

I’m working on a new project on the side that I’m REALLY excited to share soon. Last week I found myself trying to sit down and get to work late in the evening after a full day of running around and teaching. The struggle was REAL as I tried to dive into work and I started to panic. I have this tendency to get really hyped about a new idea, and then I just kind of a lose interest. I realized, though, that I was TIRED. Plain and simple. Sometimes you get tired, girl. Recognize that feeling and STOP WORKING.

 

✨ Dream BIGGER ✨

Lately I’ve been asking myself the question: What would you do if you couldn’t fail? What would that big, scary dream be? Asking myself this question has unlocked a few new ideas (see above 😜) and it’s got me thinking about what I really really want to create. So I’m challenging myself to dream BIGGER. And dream fearlessly.

 

✨ Create what you crave ✨

I’m craving community. IRL connections. Time away from the computer. Instead of waiting for someone else to make these things happen, I’m realizing maybe I need to be the one to put in the effort for more IRL interactions and cultivating a stronger community.

 

✨ Get your ass outside ✨

GET OUTSIDE. Take a walk. Listen to a podcast. Go to the pool. Read in the park. Do work on the rooftop. Just get your butt outside, you know how happy it makes you, Kayla!
