“Build pockets of stillness into your life. Meditate. Go for walks. Ride your bike going nowhere in particular. There is a creative purpose to daydreaming, even to boredom.

Without this essential stage of unconscious processing, the entire flow of the creative process is broken.” TryingMindIdeasMotivationalPurposeOrderProcessWalksCreativeStageParticularBrokenEssentialsFlowCombinationBoredomUnconsciousPocketsManifestStillnessCreative ProcessMuseBikeFragmentsFloatsDaydreamingClicksProcessingUnconscious Mind Author:Maria Popova

“Give yourself a compliment every day. I know this sounds silly, but it really is important. As girls, we spend countless hours focusing on our flaws and trying to correct them or cover them up. It's essential to focus on something you like about yourself. Maybe you're having a good hair day or your skin is looking especially healthy. Take a moment each day to focus on the good, and then try to carry that with you throughout the day, because while bangs don't look good on everyone, confidence does.” KnowsGivingTryingLooksDoeImportantMomentsGirlSoundHoursFocusHairHealthyEssentialsSkinsSillyEach DayFlawsComplimentAbout YourselfBangsGood Hair Author:Lauren Conrad
