Becoming your ideal self, timeless style, the importance of your internal state and romanticising your life.
An idea to ponder —
Becoming your ideal self is done in the moments when you catch your former self trying to pull you back but you stay grounded and aligned in the person you’re becoming. Moments such as — catching and reframing negative self-talk, pausing to respond instead of reacting, choosing discipline when you would rather not, taking actions that serve you, and any time you consciously change your habits and self-perception.
Because by being your ideal self, you ultimately become them.
A book to read —

Steeped in history, this biography is studded with design insight, high-society soirees and the story of how a father and his three sons built their family business into a luxury brand.
A must-read biography, The Cartiers provides first-hand recounts of how the jewellery maison was forged during wars, family disputes and the inevitable issues that arise in building a world-renowned business. For those interested in timeless style, quiet luxury and the like, The Cartiers is definitely one to add to your reading list.

An action to implement —
Romanticise your life — Sit at a local park and read your favourite book, enjoy your coffee or tea whilst people-watching, watch a movie or have dinner by yourself, play classical music while cooking and cleaning, read hardcover books & keep one on hand at all times. Life is as long as it is short, maximise it by romanticising it.
