This summer, I decided to invite my 12-year-old self back in. 💕
Colourful nails, friendship bracelets, tarot cards, bright colours, sunsets, skipping rocks and embracing bangs. All the little things I loved doing simply because I enjoyed them.
And you know what? Making time for those things helped me enjoy the life happening right in front of me.
Because somewhere between work, responsibilities, schedules and everything else adulthood brings, it's easy to forget that we're allowed to have fun just because.
This summer reminded me that joy doesn't need everything else to go away first. Play can exist alongside responsibility, and reconnecting with ourselves doesn't always have to be serious work.
I wrote a little more about my summer, my 12-year-old self and what I'm bringing with me into fall over on the Maple Mindset journal page.
You can read it through the link in my bio. 🌿
And I'm curious, what did 12-year-old you absolutely LOVE doing? Drop your ideas below, maybe we can try and bring them back!💅🏼🌸🧚🏼♀️
