Care Packages🤲🏽

You know when someone who loves you sends you a parcel with a bunch of goodies in it? I’m endeared to the care package (in whatever form it comes) as a way of making, way of caring, way of sharing. There’s no shortage of possibility as to how a care package presents, what it contains, what assortments are collected, how it’s delivered, how it’s received, and what it might mean to it’s recipients.

I value that this orientation toward making and giving can bring together items that you don’t always see together. You’re simply giving what’s needed and what might land as care. I like when a care package is a sweet collection of some practical stuffs and also things for pure enjoyment (maybe highlighting the functionality of joy and pleasure to our survival); a mix of things you can use in the long run plus some things to use right now. A box containing socks, a nice notebook, some chocolate, a bag of rice.

I like both mail and creating with the intention to give, so the Care Package holds a place in my heart. I send the people on my list a weekly (email) Care Package 🤲🏽. I write them with the intention of both holding space for all the positive possibility that you radiate, and to be of real tangible use. Ideas that you can grab onto, that make a difference in your life.

I created the Care Package Archive to collect these packages all in one place. Sign up if ya wanna receive em straight to your inbox.

Lifestyle Hygiene

If you’re feeling scattered and desiring structure, start with these simple lifestyle shifts. Small lifestyle shifts have a massive impact (that’s kinda my whole shtick). Some of these things may seem obvious but I’m stating them here anyway because sometimes you need a reminder, particularly when things get hectic. And, even if your life is hectic right now, resolve to always do the following.

***

  • Shower morning and night
  • Brush your teeth morning and night
  • Make your bed when you wake up
  • Drink (half your body weight in ounces, minimum) water daily
  • Wear clean clothes only and always
  • Don’t leave dirty dishes anywhere (your bedroom, livingroom, table, or in the sink)
  • Set a weekly cleaning schedule for your home and your laundry 
  • Empty your bags (backpacks, purses, etc.) when you get home. Put your belongings back in their homes and get rid of any garbage.
  • Always be on time to wherever you’re going / Never be late
  • Build relationships that don’t involve speaking negatively about others / Don’t gossip
