As the new year begins, it’s natural to reflect on what we want to welcome into our lives. On the Mind Body Home Podcast, I shared my philosophy for embracing ease in 2024 and introduced a simple yet powerful practice: setting one intention each for mind, body, and home. This approach encourages balance and alignment while allowing space for intuitive growth and transformation.

What is the Mind Body Home Connection?

The Mind Body Home philosophy emphasizes the interconnectedness of our mental, physical, and emotional well-being with our physical environment. By tuning into the way our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors manifest in our homes, we can create spaces that support healing, growth, and alignment.
Here’s why I shifted the podcast title from Living Elemental to Mind Body Home: the new name more tangibly reflects this connection, making it accessible for everyone seeking personal growth and harmony in their living spaces.

Embracing Ease in 2024

This year, I’m choosing ease—leaning into trust, balance, and simplicity. Inspired by my mentor Susie Moore and her mantra “Let It Be Easy,” I’m challenging myself to approach life with more openness and less resistance.
But ease doesn’t mean avoiding challenges. In fact, I was struck by a line from a poem shared during a meditation session: “Learn to find ease in risk.” What if we could approach life’s uncertainties with grace, trusting that the universe is guiding us? This mindset can transform fear and hesitation into opportunities for growth.

Setting Intentions for Mind, Body, and Home

To embody the Mind Body Home philosophy in 2024, I’ve set one intention for each aspect. I invite you to do the same, using these categories as a framework for growth:

Mind: Focus on rewiring beliefs and creating positive mental patterns. For me, this means practicing mindfulness, gratitude, and affirmations while addressing limiting beliefs that no longer serve me.

Body: Commit to healing physical pain by sticking to one modality and giving it time to work. My goal is to focus on deep, intentional care rather than jumping from one approach to another.

Home: Be intentional in creating a supportive living space. As my family searches for a new home, I’m focusing on clarity and patience to ensure the next space aligns with our long-term goals and energy needs.

A Practice for Setting Your Intentions

If you’d like to set your own intentions, here’s a simple process to get started:

1. Write Down Categories: On a piece of paper, write “Mind,” “Body,” and “Home.”

2. Settle Into Stillness: Take a few deep breaths to center yourself.

3. Listen to Your Intuition: Write whatever comes to mind first—don’t overthink it. Intuition works quickly, often before we’re fully conscious of it.

4. Reflect: Allow time for your intentions to take shape, but trust the initial thoughts that surface.

Conclusion

The Mind Body Home philosophy invites us to explore the deep connections between our thoughts, emotions, bodies, and spaces. By setting intentions with ease and balance in mind, we can align our lives with what truly matters.
I hope you’ll join me in this practice. Share your intentions with me via email or social media—I’d love to hear them and send you supportive energy throughout the year. Let’s embrace 2024 as a year of alignment, growth, and ease.
