I actually saw a recommendation on here for a fantastic video from Christopher Germer on YT. Upon further exploration of his channel I learnt about loving kindness meditations.
I did a guided loving kindness meditation from him channel and It was a really beautiful and healing experience that left me feeling happy and grateful.
I downloaded the calm app and have now been meditating daily and writing down what Iām grateful for.
Would highly recommend

Agree to all the above.
In terms of resources, the deepak chopra 30 day meditation challenge is super helpful and easy to get into (I can send you the files for most of the days cuz itās crazy expensive if you want)
People like calm and the apps, but also Tara brach has a ton of free guided meditations online (donāt love em but you might).
Also I do ananda marga meditation, which involved being connected to a teacher and getting a personal mantra which was transformative to my practice (and free unlike transcendental meditation) happy to connect you there as well :) here is a video intro to that !

finding your pref types of meditations is a super fun journey, meditators might become your new fave celebrities, mine right now is sarah blondin, esp, āMake It Sacredā
you might even start meditative eating, meditative walkingā¦.your life is about to improve so much!
never forgetā¦you canāt mess up when youāre meditatingā¦itās not something you get good atā¦itās just something you doā¦you breathe and your body and mind are finally in the same place at the same time
Enjoy!

This feels a little obvious/somewhat cheesy but a daily meditation really helped me a lot. My girlfriend and I did the Deepak Chopra 21 Days of Abundance meditations that are free on YouTube, sitting outside and doing a little thoughtful guided time felt really good. It also forced us to sit outside and notice the birds/clouds/nature sounds/etc and that was a wonderful element too!

Hi! So I worked at Aesop for 2.5 years in Australia where the brand is from.
In complete honesty I would not recommend Aesop as a starting place to build your skincare routine.
The skincare range has a lot of essential oils, that unless your skin is quite robust, can be irritants to the skin. I am of the opinion that there are other brands that are more effective and well priced to get your skincare from.
If you are going to buy from Aesop, I would highly recommend their home, fragrance and body care ranges.
Some skincare brands at a similar price point with more effective products are:Ā
- Dr.Dennis GrossĀ
- ElemisĀ
- Emma Lewisham
- Moon JuiceĀ

I like to mix up my vibe day to day - my current rotation has been the above three.
Could be light and fresh with Jo Malone one day.
Could be floral and musky with Glossier the next.
Could be woody and spicy with Aesop the following day.

A really unique perspective on the fluidity of pain (primarily in relation to chronic illness) and navigating the shifting mindset to cope with the pain.
Also a really interesting take on āfriends for certain activitiesā - a friend you go to gigs with vs the friend you go for a morning jog with. How these friendships change us.
A fantastic quick read!
