✨ This week's quote: “My formula was very simple: Do whatever is put in front of you with all your heart and soul without regard for personal results. Do the work as though it were given to you by the universe itself—because it was.” - The Surrender Experiment

✨ This week's life update: Hii beautiful humans!! I've missed you! ♥️

It's been a moment. I started this newsletter last November, and this was the first time I took a mini break. But I promise I will share why soon.

Last time we connected was 3 weeks ago (Crazy - appreciate those of you who reached out and checked in on me! It brought me so much love and I really appreciated that you missed these as much as I did). I hope that the universe has been bringing you a lot of awesome new energy this new quarter (Q2) and new season (spring). 

Every beginning of the quarter, I like to reflect on my intentions and goals I set out at the beginning of the year. It's also never too late to create those if you haven't yet! My birthday is coming up, and sometimes I like to use that as a way to reflect on my intentions for the year. YOU make the rules! The best time is now <3

✨ This week's reflection: Rest is so important in the process of doing. My body has been so go-go-go since the beginning of the year, and this past week has been great to take a mini break. I truly believe we experience the external world as an expression of what we're experiencing inside, so intentionally tuning into our inner mind and our body is so important. There is so much that is in our control, and so much that isn't, but it all starts with our mind, and how we choose to see things.

✨ The event highlight from the past few weeks: I got to attend a meditation retreat hosted by the lovely Tomoko from Kicker Ventures. (Thank you Saki for inviting me <3)

It was honestly so beautiful. We spent 3 hours doing silent meditation on a Saturday, the meditation was broken into 4 parts, each with its own lesson. We meditated on themes like love, connection, patience and acceptance.

This was a great reminder for me. As some of you may know, my previous startup actually started by hosting meditations across campuses. It's a practice that has truly changed my life. Thank you Tomo for bringing such a lovely group of humans together and sharing this practice with us.

If you're curious about meditation but feel intimidated, start small! I often just set my timer for 5 minutes (sometimes even just 3) in the morning and breathe deeply. Our minds truly create our reality and our experiences.

✨ This week's journal prompt: What is something that I am saying to myself that is not serving me these days? How can I reframe it in a way that benefits me?
