The way you start your day generally foreshadows the way the rest of the day will go. We all have our mothers in our heads telling us to make our bed in the morning, and studies have found that this one, simple act can improve your productivity. When you start your day on the right foot, everything follows - positive, mindful actions lead to better days.
The most recent conversations around self-care that we’re seeing usually revolve around products, but it isn’t necessarily a materialistic conversation that we’re looking to have. While a bubble bath may relax your muscles, it doesn’t magically erase that long to-do list that awaits you as soon as you get out of the bath. It’s a process, it isn’t fleeting.
While it is important to work hard and aim high, it is also important not to mistake your right foot for your left. It’s equally important to remember that material things are secondary. Being a kind, decent human being is actually the most important thing, something some of us tend to forget. Build a monument that people will remember.
In our original plan for our Mother's Day article, we wanted to highlight the way female world leaders have been facing the pandemic crisis.

At the end of one year and beginning of another, we start to think of things we’ll resolve to do over the next 52 weeks that will somehow make us a different version of ourselves. Resolutions do not need to come from a place of guilt, they can come from a place of ambition. It doesn’t need to only be career ambition, it’s ambition in all areas of life. Leave your comfort in 2019, and consciously do things that will challenge you.
