Good morninggg chikita ♡
Your Daily Prayer
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen.
THE NEWS YOU GET TO BREAK TO EVERYONE TODAY
The US is building its first oil refinery in 50 years. Trump announced a $300 billion deal with India’s Reliance Industries for a refinery in Texas. It’ll process American shale oil that currently gets shipped overseas because there’s nowhere to refine it here.
say this: “America produces more oil than any country on earth but hasn’t built a refinery since the 70s. we’ve literally been exporting crude and buying back the finished product, they’re finally fixing that.”
Chile just had its biggest political shift since Pinochet. José Antonio Kast was inaugurated today. Won by 16 points. His predecessor left as the least popular president since democracy returned in 1990.
say this: “Chile went from its youngest, most progressive president ever to its most conservative leader since the dictatorship in one election cycle. the swing was 16 points. Latin America is moving right faster than people realize, Argentina, Chile, Ecuador all went the same direction.”
Britain just kicked out its last aristocrats. After 700 years, the UK Parliament voted to remove the final 92 hereditary peers from the House of Lords. These are people who had seats in government because of their bloodline — dukes, earls, viscounts. The system dates back to the 1300s. They tried to block the bill that removed them. It passed anyway. Some are getting life peerages as a consolation prize, which kind of defeats the point, but technically the era of ruling by last name is over.
say this: "did you know that until literally today, people in England could vote on laws just because their great-great-grandfather was a duke? they just ended it after 700 years.”
How to treat yourself like the pretty princess you are a few things to help you feel more passionate about feeling more yourself
1. Surround yourself with things you adore. You need to surround yourself with everything that mirrors you. Find your happy colors, and you start wearing them, it’ll boost your mood. When you’re out in the world, you can’t pick up your house and bring it with you, so I try my best to surround myself with reminders of me to feel more comforted. Being surrounded by things that ground you feels so nice.
2. Make your inner world appear in your outer world.
I love daydreaming, and I feel like usually it gets abandoned, but it makes your inner world so much richer. You have to fill your brain up with things that are whimsical to you, not just worries or what people are doing.
3. Be that hug that you’ve always needed. Understand your needs and be gentle with yourself. It’s okay to be confused, it’s okay to cry, and it’s okay to be upset, especially because every nervous system is built very differently.
4. Focus on your own garden. I feel like it’s so important to focus on your own garden and not see what other people are growing. Focus on your goals and what you need. I feel like Pinterest is like a perfect digital garden store, use it to decorate your iPad, computer, phone widgets, and your messages profile pictures, just so every time you open these things you can see what you love and it just makes life feel more cuter.
5. Don’t be a drag! It’s okay to be silly!. Give yourself time to just be silly sometimes and laugh at yourself. The biggest sign of a healed nervous system is the ability to be childishhhh.
Q: How are you focusing on your own garden this today?
LOVE YOU HAVE THE BEST DAY xxxx
