Auto-captioned from the film, lightly cleaned. Elena's words, not edited prose.

foreign just feeling stagnant or kind of caught in the middle of things I like to have a day resetting or regrouping my thoughts and feelings and I like to focus on these things sleep Fitness Nutrition my mental health self-care my environment so let's take the next 24-40 hours and try to work through these areas here thank you set time let's talk about it I've been needing a mental and creative reset for quite some time there's been a lot going on I've really fallen behind on certain things that make me feel good like journaling and meditating I feel like before trying to do a reset it's important to first acknowledge three things which is sleep nutrition and exercise I think these are the three foundational pieces to feel good trying to get good sleep try and eat healthy and doing something exercise wise in my case I am training for half marathon so I've been running a ton I'm actually going to do kind of a bit of a room makeover too we haven't done since moving in and I've lived in this apartment for almost two years now so it's gonna feel so good to feel like I have a new space or kind of like a new chapter introduction with casterly which is like a dream come true they're such amazing brand they're a modern furniture company that basically makes luxury a bit more accessible um which is very exciting because I'm using a crappy Amazon bed frame at the moment with no headboard my dresser is kind of caving in in the middle it's just time for that upgrade so on that note let's start with a little tidy up let's do a little closet switch out go from there for you you know you hear all you know okay I've actually cleared out quite a bit of space this used to be stacked fully to the brim when I write to a closet cleanup I kind of can feel the pressure to donate or sell everything that I'm not wearing right now but I realize it's okay to hold on to those favorite pieces even if they're kind of out of season I Instead try to focus on things that I haven't worn for many many months or if I have something that looks a little too similar then I'll go ahead and donate it I've used these insane bags stuffed with winter clothing and tuck them up here for the next like few months so bye you guys see you later next season I didn't know that wings wise but I forgive us bones but there's only one good morning hello the day has come that I'm getting ton of new furniture to refresh my space so today's gonna be a big moving and cleaning day what's up out of the blue and it really caught me off guard yesterday even just with 50 pages how beautiful it was what I got from this first bit was kind of the concept of stop and smell the roses I feel like actually taking tune into your surroundings it's so rare in finding moments of rest and peace and Beauty with the life that you have immediately around you is an underappreciated skill even as I was reading it like helped me to tune into like the wind you know rushing through the leaves of the tree outside the window or like really feeling like the air on my skin or really paying attention to the colors in the sky like things that I have just ignored for weeks now as I go about filling every hour of my day never really stopping to appreciate what's immediately around me so he says the freedom is not as difficult to achieve as one might think we all start with it because children we experience much less interference between receiving ideas and internalizing them we live in the moment rather than worrying about the future consequences we are spontaneous more than analytical we are curious not jaded even the most ordinary experiences in life are met with a sense of awe okay I feel like that is such a beautiful reminder in a sound in tune with kind of the video theme that I've been wanting to share today so we gotta go looks yeah oh my gosh why is that feeling so intense I was like girl what is going on it looks so fun this looks great it looks really good hello from Pure chaos so with the new bed frame not on my under the bed storage fits it's off by like half an inch so I'm trying to reconfigure and take the wheels off then my under the bed storage you know what this is for the best this stuff needs to clean out so badly and I wouldn't have done it otherwise honestly who wants to deal with that not I so let's go I have no idea look at how gorgeous she is let's set her back up I feel like the major change in here is this Lexi tufted bed I am so excited to finally have such a Luxe bed frame it's very high quality and I really love this upholstery it almost feels like very soft kind of velvet material another great piece in here is this stunning Emery six drawer dresser that has a very like refined classic look with the brass details and this acacia wood and now downstairs I added this Sasha performance bookley chair I'm really loving the low slong kind of sculptural silhouette I think it really elevates the room and now here we have the Sloan cane chair it's a piece I've truly dreamed about it has that refined look with the cane backrest and the gray oak wood and I was a little nervous at first about the mismatched look but I think it's so perfect and I love how it looks and of course we have the Aziza area rug which is so soft it's this Shaggy High pile construction and it makes it so cozy in here it looks so new and fresh to me and truly like some would hit a refresh button I feel like it looks so good in here I'm so excited about how turned down do you like changing at my space has been a testament to how much an environmental switch can really help your like creative and mental state as well because I've lived in the same place for a while I'm entering a new lease I did resign it feels so good to mix up the space it feels fresh it feels different all my gorgeous Castle pieces will of course be linked down below if you want to check them out for yourself I want to take some of this energy moving forward and kind of try to incorporate it more into daily routines especially finding moments of slowing down and rest as usual thanks so much for watching until next time love y'all
