I've learnt that I'm in charge of how I react to situations. If something negative happens I can either dwell on it and fall into a depression or reframe the situation, learn from it and move on. Also to not be so hard on myself when I fail. It's always an ongoing process

Inner self critic? ✅ Oh, she’s still there! Before I forget, where did you get your super duper office chair? I am looking for a chair with good lower back support & yours looks great 🦋

Christina, at the 2:33 mark, where are your pillows from? I especially like the cream one with the abstract print. Also, the plant at 3:26. Thanks in advance! I'm actually on a combined minimalism and home decor journey, you could say. Stuff has overtaken my life and apartment. I've never really focused on DECOR and I would like to do that and think I can do it without going overboard. Love the couch and video as well. Thanks! :)
