inspiring + energizing dope women to live life on their own terms
when you feel you’re wasting your time, remember this
when you feel like you’re wasting your time with the mundane tasks, remind yourself how different fast fashion + artisanal clothing are.
both are clothes, yes.
both can build a wardrobe, also yes.
with artisanal brands, however, the materials used are top-knotch, the stitching is much more intentional, + fast fashion simply doesn’t compare to the quality you receive in a hand stitched garment.
it may take twice as long to create high quality, but what are we complaining about here: the quality is 🤌🏾🔥
it’s made with love, with intention, with patience, + with extreme attention to detail.
with artisanal clothing, the little things matter just as much as the design.
the same can be said for artwork created by artists vs. AI slop, bakers + chefs vs. fast food, + you —
what you create is one of the kind pieces of work, fam.
slow down + be intentional about what you’re doing.
you don’t have to rush through a task to say it’s done, + you certainly don’t have to now care about what you’re doing while you’re doing it just to say “i’m finished”.
show some care + concern by slowing down, paying attention to what’s happening in front of you, + immersing yourself in the activity fully + completely.
enjoy what you do while you’re doing it. fam — it’s important to you, something you are passionate about, + it’s okay to put in your best efforts.
you put all that effort into cooking a meal, what will it hurt to slow down + plate it with purpose?
you’ve created a garden from scratch — grew the plants from seeds! why not slow down + water it + nurture it daily?
you went through the efforts of securing a community — friends, family, + networks of folks that you know you can count on — why not make the effort to converse with, connect with, + support them as much as possible?
whatever you do today, do it with love.
done is better than perfect, but damn — it doesn’t have to be done sloppily + without care.
be you, be dope! Phylicia Sadsarin Mindset Coach
