‘Water. Seeing it, hearing it, being submerged in it, and most of all drinking it. I can’t count the number of times I felt like a new person after washing my face or showering immediately after a long day, or calmed down just by the sounds of rain or flowing water, felt rejuvenated after drinking it… Honestly i’m surprised everyday by the healing effects of water. Can’t be overstated imo.’

‘Small, consistent changes build over time and snowball into awesomeness. Saving a little money, consistently. Working out a little, consistently. Reading a little, consistently.
