Just because you’ve always done something doesn’t mean you have to keep doing it.

Sometimes we continue habits, traditions, hobbies, relationships with certain routines, or ways of spending our time simply because…that’s what we’ve always done.

But that’s not always a good enough reason.

Self-awareness means occasionally asking yourself:

Do I actually still enjoy this?
Does this still feel like me?
Is this still how I want to spend my time, energy, and attention?

Maybe you’ve had season tickets for years, but you don’t really enjoy going to every game anymore.

Maybe you used to love going out to bars every weekend, and now you’d rather wake up early and do something that makes you feel good.

Maybe you’ve always taken the same kind of vacation, celebrated a holiday the same way, kept the same social routine, or said yes to the same plans—and suddenly, they don’t feel as fulfilling as they once did.

That doesn’t mean anything has gone wrong.

You’re allowed to change.

We’re here to evolve. To grow. To discover new parts of ourselves. And sometimes that means realizing that something you genuinely loved in one season of your life isn’t what you want in the next.

You don’t have to keep choosing something just because a past version of you chose it.

Keep checking in with yourself.

What brings you joy now?
What feels meaningful now?
What do you want more of now?

Your life gets to evolve as you do.

Here’s an experiment I want you to try with me:

Anytime you catch yourself focusing on a thought, story, or pattern that you no longer want to experience—or don’t want to keep recreating—choose to shift your attention.

You don’t even have to think a “better” thought. You can choose something neutral.

Think about your feet. 👣
Notice your breath.
Look at the sky.
Name something you’re grateful for.
Focus on something that’s going well.

Because thinking about your feet is ultimately going to serve you better than spending another 20 minutes thinking about how hard life is, how painful that situation was, how someone wronged you, or why you’re not good enough.

This isn’t about denying what happened or pretending difficult emotions don’t exist. It’s about recognizing when reflecting has turned into rehearsing.

Your attention is valuable.

What you continually focus on is where you direct your energy, time, and effort—and often, what you strengthen.

You deserve to grow the things you actually want in your life.

And at the very least?

Stop watering the things you don’t. 🌱

Want the freshest breath + that just-left-the-dentist clean-mouth feeling?

A few simple practices I love for my oral-care routine:

Oil pulling with food grade coconut or sesame oil for a few minutes before brushing. It can help reduce oral bacteria and plaque—and my mouth just feels SO clean afterward. (And always spit it into the trash, not the sink!)

Tongue scraping to remove the buildup that collects on the tongue overnight.

Occasionally, a tiny amount of clove essential oil with my toothpaste. Clove contains eugenol, a compound known for its antimicrobial properties. Essential oils are very concentrated, though, so I use this sparingly and never swallow it. Make sure the oil is therapeutic grade.

I also will use frankincense in my water-pik and plastic-free floss 🪥🦷

And one thing I don’t rely on every day? Strong antiseptic mouthwash.

Your mouth has its own microbiome, and broad-spectrum antiseptic mouthwashes can disrupt both harmful and beneficial oral bacteria. Some research has also raised interesting questions about frequent antiseptic mouthwash use and the nitrate → nitrite → nitric oxide pathway, since certain oral bacteria play an important role in that process (i.e. possibly linked to high blood pressure and diabetes 😱)

Save this for your morning routine + send it to someone who loves a good wellness upgrade. 🫶

Pay attention to the excuses you keep coming back to.

“I don’t have time.”
“I’m too tired.”
“I’m too busy.”
“It’s too hard.”
“I’ll start when things calm down.”
“This is just how I am.”

Sometimes our excuses are valid explanations for why something feels difficult—but they don’t have to become permanent limitations.

Because the moment we make the excuse more powerful than we are, we give away our ability to create something different.

You are the common denominator in every area of your life.

That isn’t about blame. It’s about agency.

You are the authority in your own life. You get to decide what you prioritize. What you practice. What you tolerate. What you change. What you keep choosing.

So when you hear yourself reaching for the same reason you can’t, get curious:

Is this actually stopping me—or have I just gotten used to letting it stop me?

Your circumstances may influence your choices.

But they don’t always have to make them for you. 🤍

What if you stopped saying, “I’ll try” and started deciding?

There’s a subtle difference between trying to do something and committing to it.

“I’ll try to work out.”
“I’ll try to meditate.”
“I’ll try to make more time for myself.”

Try leaves the door open. A decision creates direction.

And this doesn’t mean you have to commit to everything. Sometimes the most honest answer is: I’m not choosing that right now. And that’s okay.

The goal isn’t perfection. It’s becoming someone who trusts their own word.

Every time you say you’re going to do something and follow through—even in a small way—you strengthen that relationship with yourself.

So notice your language this week. When you hear yourself say, “I’ll try,” ask:

Am I willing to commit to this?

If yes, take “try” out of the sentence and see how different it feels. 🤍

Self-care doesn’t always require MORE time. 🤍

One of my favorite ways to make self-care actually fit into my life is habit stacking — pairing something I already do every day with another practice that supports how I want to feel.

In the first few minutes of my morning, I’m able to fit in fresh air, natural light, affirmations, oil pulling, movement and stretching… simply by doing a few of them at the same time.

Then I head outside for a walk, morning sunlight and gratitude.

The goal isn’t to copy someone else’s morning routine or create a long list of things you should be doing.

It’s to look at the routine you already have and ask:

Where could I add a little more care without adding a lot more time?

Maybe you listen to affirmations while getting ready.
Stretch while your tea is brewing.
Practice gratitude while walking the dog.
Take three deep breaths before opening your laptop.

Small practices add up.

And for Self-Care September, I’m especially focused on finding simple ways to take better care of ourselves without turning self-care into another job.

What’s one self-care practice you could stack into something you’re already doing?

09/01/2026

Pay attention to how often you tell yourself: “This is hard.”

It might seem harmless, but every time you repeat it, you’re reinforcing the expectation that what’s in front of you will require struggle.

What if you started breaking that habit?

Instead of:
“This is so hard.”
“I can’t do this.”
“This is going to be difficult.”

Try:
✨ “I can figure this out.”
✨ “I’m capable of handling this.”
✨ “This gets easier with practice.”
✨ “There may be an easier way.”
✨ “I can take this one step at a time.”

This isn’t about pretending that challenging things aren’t challenging.

It’s about noticing when your language is making them heavier than they need to be.

Your brain is always listening to the story you tell about your life.

Stop rehearsing hard.

Start rehearsing capable. supported. possible.

You might be surprised by how much lighter life begins to feel. 🤍

Your brain gets better at what you train it to look for.

If you’re constantly looking for what’s wrong—with yourself, with other people, with your life—your brain gets really good at finding more evidence of it.

But the opposite is also true.

Start intentionally looking for the good. The kindness. The beauty. The progress. The possibility. The things that are working.

Look for the best in the people around you. Look for what’s going right in your life. And maybe most importantly, start looking for the best in yourself.

The more you practice this, the more natural it becomes. And eventually, you may start noticing more opportunities, more connection, more reasons to feel grateful, and more little moments of goodness that were there all along.

Try this today:
Notice 3 things that are going right.
Notice something good in someone else.
And notice something you genuinely appreciate about yourself.

Train your brain to look for the good, and see what begins to change. 🤍

What if aging is less about the number of candles on your birthday cake… and more about the number of times you stop saying yes to life?

Who decided aging was supposed to be one long, slow decline?

It is beyond time to question that idea!

Some of the most vibrant, gorgeous people I know are in their 60s, 70s, 80s, and even 90s! They dance. They travel. They lift weights. They laugh until they cry. They fall in love. They learn new things. They play.

What we attribute to aging is often simply misuse, poor self-care, or poor thinking.

Do I need to talk to you about Ellen Langer’s Counterclockwise study again? It challenged the idea that aging is simply something that happens to us and invited a fascinating question:

What if our minds influence our biology more than we’ve been taught to believe?

Maybe it’s time we stop treating birthdays like expiration dates.

Move.
Play.
Laugh.
Stay curious.
Keep becoming.

Your body—and your life—will be listening.
