I’ve been using Shreddy Supergreens — a simple daily blend with 22 vitamins, probiotics, and adaptogens. Easy to add to water or smoothies (especially on travel days when vegetables don’t happen often!).

🌿 note to self

Not everything has to be hard.
You don’t have to earn your rest.
You don’t need to push through every moment.

Some things can just… be easy.

It doesn’t mean you’re doing it wrong.
It might actually mean you’re doing it right.

📝 something to do

Here’s a small shift I’ve been using when I notice myself overthinking:

What would the easy version of this look like?

Sometimes it’s:
– Making toast instead of a full lunch
– Sending the message without rereading it 4 times
– Taking 10 minutes instead of 30
– Letting something be “done” even if it’s not perfect

It’s not about being lazy, or cutting corners - it’s about sometimes taking the easy option to not overcomplicate things.

😍 something that sparked joy

This morning, I had one of those slow, no-rush mornings. I stayed in bed for a bit longer than usual - sat outside and just watched the clouds move. It was nice + calm. Sometimes that’s all it takes.

💭 What’s one thing you could make easier this week? (hit reply, I read every email)

See you next week,
Sam
as always, stay slow & present 🌿
