What is something you are doing different?

I’ll start:

• you don’t have to finish your plate if you’re full.

• being a kid and playing > homework (and I’m a past teacher)

• I will never sort laundry by color before washing - nothing bad has happened yet.

• college will not be a huge push for my kids if they are attracted to a different path that could still afford them a comfortable life

• I left my profession I went to college for after 10 years and did a complete 180°. I’m happier this way.

What about you? #learningthroughlife #Lemon8Diary #AskLemon8

... Read moreIn today's fast-paced world, many individuals seek to break away from conventional norms set by previous generations. Embracing change can lead to personal fulfillment and greater happiness. It’s essential to reflect on how our choices impact not only our lives but also those around us. For instance, prioritizing family time over academic achievements can foster strong connections in children, allowing them to grow into well-rounded individuals. It’s also a growing trend for parents to support varied paths for their kids, whether that means pursuing trade skills or creative endeavors, thus valuing happiness over tradition. Another significant shift involves reassessing personal career choices. Many professionals have stepped away from initial career paths after realizing that their true passion lies elsewhere. This change often leads to greater job satisfaction and work-life balance. Imagine leaving a decade-long career to pursue something entirely different that resonates more with your skills and passions. This courageous act can inspire others to evaluate their own choices and encourage a culture of exploration and authenticity. In this dynamic environment, it’s crucial to recognize that every small choice contributes significantly to our life's narrative. Whether it’s redefining work-life priorities, engaging in play over performance, or simply allowing ourselves the freedom to do things differently, embracing our unique paths can lead to a more fulfilling life. So, what is something you are doing differently than the generation before you? Let’s celebrate these changes and encourage open discussions about carving our own unique journeys.

I am trying to take a conscious parenting approach and with that is trying to establish a healthy relationship with my child. We will talk about the good and the bad things, no spankings, developing tools to get through hard times etc…

I don’t care what anyone else says, fake scenarios are literally one of the key things I do to fall asleep. Some people call it weird, others call it dumb, but I call it a lifestyle at this point. #fyp #foryou #Lemon8 #shareyourthoughts #Lemon8Diary #fashion #beauty #skincare

different forms of rest 🫶
Resting doesn’t always have to be sleeping or rotting in bed! Rest can be active depending on if the activity recharges you! There are different forms of rest to keep in mind if you have a hard time resting. I definitely experience this 🥲 when I try to relax I always end up working on something

Spring is all about renewal—out with the old, in with the elevated. This season, release what’s already let go of you. Stop holding space for what drains you. Let endings be endings. Let healing do its work. If it’s meant for you, it will bring you energy, not exhaustion. Loyalty isn’t just abou
