I so appreciate your Slow Sunday Letter, Emily. As an advid journaler I love, too, that you share prompts that facilitate digging into the subject more deeply and personally. 🥰 Thank you!

Love all of the advice and journal prompts. Also loved Eleanor Oliphant. What a wonderful character she is! 🩵

Everything you mentioned is how I try to keep my home! Warm, inviting, and cozy. Blankets, candles, plants, nature inspired decor ❤️ I don’t know how people live in houses that look like show homes. They are beautiful, but it just doesn’t feel homey.

I have to second the declutterring tip. It’s something I recommend to my counseling clients too. It’s easy to forget how much our physical space can impact our mental health, but it very much does. Thanks for the read!

Such helpful and actionable tips for slow living - thank you! I am such a slow living advocate, as I found I needed to offset the fast-paced life I used to live in London (I had to live there for work, rather than out of choice). Now that I’m in the countryside, and spring is upon us, I am so enjoying embracing nature too - and will endeavour to do so more! 🥰

Alice in Wonderland has always been a favorite of mine! I just finished reading The Drowning Woman by Robyn Harding. It’s a mystery/thriller and I enjoyed it. Thank you for those journal prompts as well 💓

It is so interesting how making your bed in the morning sets the tone for the rest of the day. Psychologically, if my bed is still rumpled by mid-morning, we’ll then, so am I! 🙃💗

This was great Emily! I'm hoping to move house soon so I'm definitely going to try out those journal prompts 😊 I feel the exact same way about my home – it's like my own sanctuary and I think it's so important that we curate a space that makes us feel safe and comfortable. Also, if you want some more Wonderland, I'd recommend checking out the sequel book 'Through The Looking Glass' as some of the characters that we all know and love from the Disney film pop up in there!

Lovely post, and I agree, home is so important in so many different ways, and the space within has so much influence on our day-to-day lives 🏡

Definitely love my home to be clean, tidy and organised. However, I’m naturally messy, forgetful and disorganised so it’s a constant battle alongside my partner being a hoarder it’s a compromise 🤣
