Intentional Living Idea List
This week’s featured printable is a new idea list designed to help you incorporate some intentional actions into your daily routines. I feel fortunate that in my current season of life I have more freedom and time than I did when I was actively parenting. There were days when I was in the thick of raising my four kids when I felt like the only time I had for myself was going to the bathroom. But even now, on the cusp of an empty nest, I find myself constantly reminded of how easy it is to get caught up in the daily grind and let life devolve into mindless social media scrolling and binge watching Netflix.
This one-page printable checklist is designed to help you incorporate small doses of intention into your daily routine, as ay of making each day more mindful and fulfilling.
Take a few deep breaths before starting any task or activity. If you sit at a desk most of the day, try getting up and moving around on a regular basis.
Make time for yourself to do things that make you happy.
Practice mindful eating by chewing slowly, savoring each bite, and paying attention to the taste, texture, and aroma of your food.
Incorporate mindful movement into your daily routine, such as walking or stretching. Choose activities that you enjoy and make you feel energized, rather than depleted.
Take breaks throughout the day to stretch, move, or simply rest your mind.
Practice self-compassion by speaking kindly to yourself and acknowledging that it's okay to make mistakes or have bad day.
Set boundaries to protect your time, energy, and well-being.
Practice getting comfortable saying no and practice asking others for help.
Try a mindfulness meditation. This could be a breathing exercise, yoga or just sitting quietly in a peaceful space. Start with 5-10 minutes and increase a couple of minutes each day. Focus on your breath and bring your attention back to the present moment whenever your mind wanders. Note how you feel after each practice.
You can print out this checklist and keep it in a visible place as a reminder to incorporate mindfulness into your daily routine. I hope you like it!

Celebrating the Season of Beltane

Beltane is a time of celebration and renewal, when the earth is lush and vibrant, and the energy of life is palpable. This ancient pagan holiday is traditionally celebrated on May 1st, halfway between the spring equinox and the summer solstice. It's a time to honor the fertility of the earth, the renewal of the land, and the abundance of the coming summer.
Creating a Beltane Altar
One of the most important aspects of Beltane is the celebration of the union between the Goddess and the God. This represents the union of the masculine and feminine energies in nature, which brings about the fertility and abundance of the earth. Many people choose to create a sacred space to honor this union, either by creating a Beltane altar or by performing a ritual*.
To create a Beltane altar, you'll need to gather items that represent the themes of the holiday. This might include flowers, herbs, ribbons, candles, and symbols of fertility such as eggs or seeds. You can also incorporate images of the Goddess and the God, or other deities associated with Beltane. As you arrange your items on the altar, you might want to say a prayer or offer a blessing for the renewal and abundance of the earth.
A Beltane ritual might involve the lighting of a bonfire, which represents the energy of the sun and the warmth of the coming summer. You might also choose to dance around the fire, or to perform a ritual that honors the union of the Goddess and the God. This might involve the use of sacred symbols, such as the Maypole, which represents the phallic energy of the God and the fertility of the earth.
In addition to the creation of a sacred space or ritual, there are many other ways to celebrate Beltane. You might choose to spend time in nature, perhaps by taking a hike or a picnic in a park. You might also decorate your home with flowers, ribbons, and other symbols of spring and renewal.
Setting Intentions at Beltane
Another way to celebrate Beltane is to focus on your own personal renewal and growth. This might involve setting intentions for the coming summer, or creating a vision board that represents your goals and dreams. You might also choose to take part in a Beltane meditation, which can help you connect with the energy of the earth and the cycles of nature.
At the heart of Beltane is the celebration of the abundance and fertility of the earth. Whether you choose to create a sacred space, perform a ritual, or simply spend time in nature, the key is to honor the energy of renewal and growth that surrounds us during this special time of year. By tapping into this energy, you can invite more abundance and joy into your life, and cultivate a deeper connection to the natural world around you.
How will you be celebrating Beltane this spring?
