✨ Living with intention means slowing down and choosing actions that align with your values—not just running on autopilot. Even small shifts in awareness or habits can create meaningful change. 🌱

✨ We often spend so much energy worrying about things outside of our control—what others think, what might happen in the future, or situations we can’t change. This only leaves us feeling more stressed and powerless.

When we shift our focus to what is within our control—our actions, our mindset, our choices—we create space for peace, growth, and resilience. 🌱

💡 A gentle reminder: notice where your energy is going today, and try to bring it back to the circle of control.

As parents, we’ve all experienced the dreaded “fine” or “I don’t know” responses when we ask our children about their day at school. Here are some great conversation starters to get them to more easily open up about their day. Most kids and teens actually do have a lot to share, but broad, general questions make it hard for them to know where to start.
