Happy Mother's Day to all our dear moms! 💕
-----
👉When you want to celebrate all the “wonder women” that run the world, moms, grandmas, sisters, mothers-in-law, and even the devoted pet moms, you might suddenly find yourself tearing up at just how deep your feelings for them go and then wonder where to begin to express your love and gratitude.

So, while you grab the tissues, be sure to also grab some of these Mother’s Day messages that will help you tell her, despite all her doubts, that she’s an amazing mom. 👇

Thank you for the laughs, the listening, and the love.
Mom, when you thought I wasn’t looking — I was. Thank you for the million ways you supported, encouraged, helped, and loved me.
I know I wasn’t always easy to handle (and still may not be), but I can’t tell you enough how much I appreciate how you’re always there for me, no matter what.
More than anything, I want you to feel loved and appreciated not just on Mother's Day but every day.
For all the times I didn’t say it but should have…thank you, Mom. I love you.
The truth is, Mom…you were pretty much right every time. Thanks for all the good advice, even if it took me awhile to get it.

👉You may have seen videos on YouTube like: "My super productive 5 a.m. morning routine" or "Why I wake up at 4 a.m. every day and love it!"
------
While these might seem drastic (and some of them are), there are benefits to developing a morning routine you can keep. A morning routine with a typical wake time, a healthy breakfast, and some exercise is a great place to start. 👌

By having a stabilized morning routine, you will feel more in control of your schedule, be able to better prioritize your time, engage purposefully with each task rather than reacting to the demands of the day, and make it easier to adopt more healthy habits long-term. 😊

📌We have all heard the famous saying, "life is 10% of what happens and 90% of how you react to it."
-----
In life, attitude is everything; it is what shapes our beliefs and our desires. Harsh times will occur throughout our lives, but it is up to us how we interpret them. We are always in control of our emotions despite any given situation.

👉You always have a choice of how you are going to respond to what the world offers you. Do not let something dictate the way you react to things. You need to look within yourself and realize that you have the power to make things happen.

We are a sum of all of our life’s experiences, so use these past lessons to help better your present situation.

-----
👉Recognize your natural strengths and weaknesses.
👉Accept the difficulty.
👉Let go of all-or-nothing thinking.
👉Find systems that work. Look to create some routine systems that are effective.
👉Keep trying. Have self-compassion when you make mistakes, refocus when you get distracted and adjust your plan when new issues crop up.

🥰Kindness and “niceness” are often considered interchangeable, but kindness goes deeper. Its layers include generosity, compassion, and empathy. When challenged by an often-cruel world, kindness also takes significant effort and emotional strength. It’s a choice that can take many forms. Why is it important?

👉Because it is contagious. When a person engages in pro-social behaviours, the people who benefit from them are likely to turn around and "pay it forward." This creates a ripple effect where it becomes more and more common to show kindness. It's essentially a positive form of peer pressure.

That "helper's high" also encourages humans to keep being kind. When something feels good, humans want to repeat the behaviour. 👌

Time is one of the fewest things that we all have in common. ⏱️
-----
We all have time in common. The clock keeps ticking, no matter what. So, don't just watch it; keep going, keep going. If things aren't so great, keep going. If everything is according to plan, keep going.

Think of one thing you have put off because you told yourself you don't have time and get going on it right away. Be more efficient, say no to something else, but stop using time as an excuse.

👉We all have the same amount of it; the only variable is our ability to master it.

Giving thanks makes you happier because you demonstrate gratitude. 🥰
------
People express thanks for the positive things in their lives. People frequently realize that the source of that kindness is at least partially outside of themselves during this process.

👉As a result, gratitude allows you to connect to something bigger than yourself, whether it's other people, nature, or a greater force.

This way, gratitude is strongly and persistently connected with greater happiness and experiencing more positive emotions, appreciating wonderful experiences, improving your health, dealing with hardship, and developing great connections.

So, take some time to be thankful. It impacts your happiness and enhances many aspects of your life. 🤗

If you improve your life, the life of others is enhanced. If you become better, the world is a better place.

To grasp whether or not Jesmonite is sustainable, first, we have to look at its composition. Jesmonite is a composite material made from gypsum and then mixed with acrylics. ✔️
-----
👉Gypsum is a natural mineral. It is typically sourced from sedimentary rock. Its chemical composition includes water. Gypsum is very common. There is no other sulfate mineral found in more abundance on the planet. This adds to the overall sustainability of the end product.

🔘Gypsum is highly durable and needs very little maintenance. It has excellent strength and durability, with high impact resistance (yes, we've involuntarily tested it a few times… phew!) If used properly, it can last for decades, even in high-demand settings. This is one reason why Jesmonite is known for its longevity and is also naturally resistant to fire, which is a property that gives to Jesmonite sustainability.

This is why items made by Jesmonite should be high on your list for decorating your space, and Velvet Moon offers you that! 🤗

Sometimes a limiting belief can stop you from taking action. It could be a fear that you need to push past, or you need to move through.
------
👉But once you have a solid idea of what you love doing, it can still be a giant leap to turn that passion into a viable path. Here are four easy steps to start making the change:

Be patient by taking care of the current situation and keep moving forward each day.

Strategize a plan to pursue your passion, but don't get so caught up that you neglect the other essential areas of your life.

Once you feel strongly that you want to start down this new path, start saving. A lot. The more money you have in the bank, the fewer finances will have to rule your decisions.

And finally, just do it. You’ll never know until you try. 👊

What we think, we become. 💭
-----
👉We need to remind ourselves about a simple and often unconscious progression that can influence our destiny or future, from our thoughts to our words and from our words to our actions. Next, those actions become habits that form our character, which ultimately affects our future.

What’s most striking about this quote is how it begins- to watch our thoughts. So, let’s ask ourselves, are our thoughts mostly positive or negative? Where do they lead and direct our future? 👇

"Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend." – Melody Beattie
------
👉If we learn to look at life with grateful eyes, we can see that every event in life happens to teach us something. Sometimes the lessons are bittersweet. Nonetheless, they’re part of the spiritual journey.

Practising gratitude can be a beneficial daily habit both for physical and mental health. It also offers potential benefits for relationships.

To get started with a gratitude practice, you can try meditation, journaling, or simply paying attention to the little things in life that bring you joy. If practised regularly, gratitude will likely provide positive long-term effects to your mental health and well-being. ✔️

When we expend the bulk of our time and energy recalling better and happier times (even if those times are rosier only in our memory), we generate feelings of unhappiness, regret and anger. And what is the point of doing that? 🤔

We can’t go back. There isn’t a “back” to go back to. The past is that: the past, something that was but is no longer.

Learn from the past and then let it go. Develop a goal and then focus on the steps that will move you closer to it. Keep your energy and attention on today. 😊👌

Trends may come and go, but the principle of harmony is crucial when it comes to home decorating. 🏠

👉Incorporating harmony and unity is all about showcasing similarity. It’s why it’s important to utilize the same colours, patterns, textures, shapes and materials in various applications throughout the space.

If you’re having trouble getting your design to feel harmonious, we recommend focusing on a single element as your source of design inspiration.

Pick something small like a patterned throw pillow or our handmade jesmonite tea light holders and take it around with you as you shop for other items.

Using harmony and unity to create a sense of cohesion makes that initial pattern recognition easy. Our brains categorize those repeated details and similarities much faster than they would if none of the design elements fit together, which subconsciously allows us to be calmer when we're in space. 👌

Juggling between all your responsibilities can be difficult. This is why prioritizing your time is so important. It's important to figure out what's most important to you and what can wait. ⏳
