I want to give you some easy ideas to

Begin practicing the 7 Step Method in just 7 days!


If you aren't already familiar with my 7 Step Method to Fill Your Cup First, then check out the blog post that I wrote at the very beginning of 2021 HERE to get comfortable with the method.


If you're already familiar with my 7 Step Method, then keep on reading for super simple ways to begin implementing the 7 Step Method in just 7 days with a patriotic spin!


       Happy Independance Day! This means that summer is in full stride and that makes NOW a perfect time to do something extra to fill your cup, so you don't burn out by August! As a gift I'm sharing this season's installment of my reoccurring blog series, "7 Steps in 7 Days" to offer seasonal solutions for weaving the 7 Step Method into your weeks with more ease. In celebration of Independance Day, I've put together a week's worth of little ways for you to practice some bonus self-care this month in an independent way. Whether you practice them all in one week, spread them all out from now until the end of the month or only practice one or two over the course of the month, these ideas can help you fill your cup first this July! I hope you enjoy!

Filling Your Cup First

one day at a time.

Seven steps in seven days.

It just makes sense to me.

       As I was creating, developing, and fine-tuning my 7-step method to fill my own cup first, it quickly became apparent to me that it was perfectly aligned to 7 days in a week. After launching the brand and beginning my first iteration of the Coffeetalk Newsletter, I created a monthly column sharing how you could challenge yourself through the week and accomplish something for each step in a single week using the 7 Step in 7 Day practice. It was so fun, I decided to turn this into a monthly blog to share. It'll post the first week of each month.

Sunday: Back to the Basics

This "Sunday Soak" takes the soaking out of the house and into the great outdoors, Darling. Be it in a pool. in a pond, a lake, or the ocean, I don't care which you choose, just soak yourself in some water outside this time, to help achieve a little relief from the warmer summer temperatures!


Monday: Step-Up the Game

For our "Monday Mindfulness Moment" this month I want to continue the outdoor theme by encouraging you to practice some mindful time outside, watching the sun either rise or set, depending on your preference. Watching the sun open or close a day has the ability to put life in perspective so seek some of that.


Tuesday: Do Something Little for You

Today is "Treat Yourself Tuesday"! It's the time of the week where I give you permission to spoil yourself just a little bit, for taking time intentionally every day to improve your care. Summer is a fabulous time to treat yourself to a beautiful vase of flowers. Whether you pick them fresh or purchase them from a local florist, adding fresh flowers to your space can brighten any day when you see them, so pick up a bouquet today!!


So, not terribly overwhelming to apply to your week so far, right?

The second half of the week is when things start to get real fun!


Wednesday: Get a Hobby

For this month's "Wednesday Workshop" it's time to "take a page" right out of elementary summer break, get a little summer reading in Darling! It can be a book you've read already, or one you pick up new, I just think you should do a little reading to spark some thoughtful entertainment. Books make a great hobby!


Thursday: Get Your A$$ Moving

As the summer continues to tick on, your ability to be active outside only increases. This "Thick Thighs Thursday" basically just needs you to find a way that feels natural to you to get outside and get active. Take a hike, go for a swim, ride a bicycle, or play a round of golf, with clubs or discs, just enjoy this warmer weather season while it lasts.!


Friday: Dream Big

The weekend is here and that means that it's "Friday Funday"! Head into the weekend daydreaming about how you can continue to push yourself to seek freedom from the doubts that are keeping you from achieving great things this summer! Set your sights on something big for the fall and begin goalsetting for it!


Saturday: Rest, Reflect, Reevaluate, & Restart

Celebrate "Self-Care Saturday" by reflecting, relaxing & recharging yourself Darling! I hope the first half of 2024 was Dazzling! I also hope that you've begun to prioritize you more! How can you continually do this in even more specific ways during the last half of 2024?


      If you haven't yet signed-up to get on the Dazzling District mailing list to receive the monthly newsletter and other occasional communications, do so using THIS LINK. Don't wait, you'll be disappointed you did! This year the mailing list is going to start receiving more regular communications again! PLUS Coffeetalk made a comeback in a flashy, fun new way in April! The July edition arrives in inboxes today and August's will arrive on 8/8/2024 so, get on the mailing list now. Finally, thank you so much for being patient with me through the creating, defining, and building of this company, and for showing back up for me here with every new blog post! I appreciate you more than you'll ever know!

The entire foundation of the Dazzling District brand & company mission is built on the need for solid and personalized self-care, designed to care for your mind, body, and spirit uniquely. For you and created by you, with the help of some tips, methods & best practices. Shortly after I launched the website and blog, I wrote a 2-part Spring Cleaning Blog Series focused on detoxing your Mind and Body (if you haven't already read them use those links to do so ). D etoxing your Spirit is necessary to personal healing and growth too. It may be the most important of the three to focus on, however it is often the most difficult to do. It requires confronting ourselves with a level of vulnerability that many of us were never taught or demonstrated as children. This makes being capable and comfortable enough to do so, challenging and ultimately a little scary too. But it's necessary to prioritize your soul health, it's just as important as your gut health, your oral health or your heart health. Confronting our own spiritual toxins and roadblocks takes a real warrior soul, one that I know lives inside your heart. If you have already read and begun to implement the other 2 blogs in my Spring-Cleaning Series, then you have already begun to "Detox Your Spirit" (use the links posted above if you haven't yet read them) . By detoxing your mind, you have hopefully begun removing some of the things that negatively impact your spirit. By removing toxins from your mind by way of unhealthy technology patterns, viewing choices, listening choices, and other things you introduce to your mental health that influence your self-talk, you will begin the journey by clearing space for peace and reflection. These two things will begin the snowball effect that is necessary to achieving a true spiritual cleansing. Once you "Clean Your Mind " and move on to "Detox Your Body" then you have already continued your journey to "Detox Your Spirit" by allowing your mental health to continue improving while beginning the balancing of your gut health. By completing these other detoxes ahead of time you set the stage for a truly empowering spiritual cleansing. Which order you choose to attack them in however, is yours to decide. If you feel more limited in your mind as a result of a desperate need for a mental reboot, then begin by cleaning your mind. If you feel that the state of your body and physical endurance is where you are being most limited in personal growth, then begin by detoxing your body. This journey is yours to take, so I strongly encourage you listen to your heart to determine where to begin it and then check out the other blogs on those topics to do so. If starting right here, with your spirit is where you feel most called to begin, then I hope you do so, keeping these things in mind. Where you go to begin to "Detox Your Spirit" once you are ready, is a little harder to break down into an action plan because, it must be the most self-guided and vulnerable part of your Mind-Body-Spirit Spring Cleaning Journey in order to achieve an authentic spiritual cleansing. Below I offer you a few of the means that I personally prefer to practice in obtaining a clean spirit. I am by no means an expert in knowledge of, or devout in practicing many of these methods, as I am still actively working on improving & healing myself, walking in my own spiritual journey. This is the main reason that it's taken me nearly 3 years to get this blog to a place I was ready to share it. I've spent years finding the practices that worked for me and exploring all these different ways for myself. I encourage you to explore these ideas in your own life as you see fitting to an authentic spiritual cleansing for yourself. If other practices feel aligned for you, then those are the practices you should be exploring. The goal is an authentic cleansing for your spirit.

It's been a crazy year, in this uncertain and ever-changing world. No matter where you are reading this from. In such uncertain times it's easy to begin to feel frazzled. Don't be ashamed or embarrassed if this is how you are feeling as we near the end of this year Darling. The end of this year is upon us, and you may be ready to already see 2023 as a thing of the past, but there's still time to close out this year on a more dazzling front. We are only weeks away from ending 2023 and ringing in a brand-new year, now wouldn't it be nice to do so feeling more dazzling than before Darling? The first thing you have to do is acknowledge the frazzled feelings. Pretending they aren't bubbling under the surface won't help anybody.
