INTENTIONAL LIVING

LEISURE & JOIE GIFTING EDITION

 

If you didn’t get a chance to read it, we highly recommend you read our blog post from last year (read here) about our thoughts behind gift giving.

That said, this year we are focusing more on the overall intention and motivation behind why we offer products at our shop that make gift giving easy, all year round…

 

prioritize what you value

Intentional living is living purposefully, making decisions based on your values and objectives in each area of life, as best you can.

The things you choose to do daily, show you what your priorities are.

 

It is tough this day in age to NOT utter the words, “I’m busy…”, and yet, sometimes the things we’ve busied ourselves with… just aren’t that important.

Identifying what actually matters in our lives can make it much easier to live a more simple life.

 

Living simply isn’t easy, by the way. It takes actual effort to live “effortlessly”. The right amount of planning definitely helps.

 
THE BUSIER YOU ARE, THE MORE INTENTIONAL YOU MUST BE.
— MICHAEL HYATT, AMERICAN AUTHOR
 

BE IN ALIGNMENT

Notice when you are more discerning, saying Yes or No, you are making choices on how you want to live. If your co-workers are going to happy hour but you had reserved a space at pilates, will you stick to your prior commitment or blow it off?

Your choice will point to what you value.

 

In that split second you either decided… “I’ll go do something healthy and positive my “prior self” had chosen for me” or you’ll choose to spend MORE money (the hypothetical pilates class is non-refundable, btw) and do something you know won’t make you feel as good as you feel post-workout.

 
 
 
WHEN YOUR VALUES ARE CLEAR TO YOU, MAKING DECISIONS BECOMES EASIER.
— ROY E. DISNEY, AMERICAN BUSINESSMAN
 

live on purpose

You might be wondering how our gift guide ties in to this premise? Well, it is simple. When you live intentionally, you are actively choosing and actively participating in the kind of life you have and want to live.

 

At LEISURE & JOIE, we offer a curated collection of high-quality, self-care centric, design-inspired, practical products that enhance your quality of life and elevate your daily experience.

Each item was intentionally curated by our team and each item works well in tandem, bringing practical value to your life while also adding an element of joy and beauty through design aesthetic.

 

Our products help you prioritize things like sleep, productivity, self-care, practices like meditation/expressing gratitude, delving into self-reflection, valuing your leisure, etc.

Why not gift yourself or someone else items that help improve your life, even if just a little each day?
