Because slowing down isn’t falling behind… it’s choosing to live with intention.

May slipped by like a warm breeze fast, full, and a little chaotic. So as we step into June, I’m consciously choosing something softer. A slower rhythm. More intentionality. Less hustle, more harmony.


This month isn’t about changing everything overnight. It’s about small shifts: quiet mornings, nourishing habits, and gentle goals that align with how I want to feel, not just what I want to achieve.


Here’s how I’m resetting in June, from the intentions I’m setting to the way I’m slowing down.



🌞 June Mood: Slow, Simple, Soft


Lately, I’ve been craving more blank space. Not just in my calendar but in my mind, my routine, even my digital life. I want more light and less noise. Fewer tabs open (literally and mentally). More quiet moments.


This month, my vibe is:

  • Soft mornings with sunlight, not screens

  • Fresh starts without pressure

  • Simplicity over perfection

  • Slow rituals over rushed routines



📝 My June Goals


I’m setting fewer goals this month, but ones that actually support how I want to feel.


1. Digital Declutter


I’ve started deleting hundreds of photos I no longer need, archiving old projects, and unfollowing anything that drains me. I want my digital space to feel like a sanctuary, not a storm.


2. Nourish My Body (Gently)


No crash diets or intense workouts here. I’m focusing on:


  • Hydration (with electrolytes or infused water)

  • Walking outside more often

  • Simple meals with fruits & veg


Glass pitcher with lemon and mint water on a wooden board. Whole lemon, mint leaves nearby. Gray textured wall and green tray in background.

Not because I should, but because I want to feel energised, light, and cared for.


3. Weekly “Slow Sunday” Rituals


Every Sunday, I plan to:


  • Turn off notifications

  • Take a walk without a podcast

  • Do a face mask or deep hair treatment

  • Journal or plan the week ahead slowly


These little resets help me stay centred, not scattered.



💡 My Good Intentions for June


Rather than resolutions, I like setting good intentions, words or themes that guide me.


This month, my three are:


✨ Presence

Noticing. Feeling. Slowing down enough to be here, not in a thousand to-do lists.


✨ Joy

Not big, dramatic joy but small, soft joy. A fancy coffee. Clean sheets. A funny reel. A call with someone I love.


✨ Alignment

Doing things that actually feel good, not just look good on paper. Saying “no” when it’s a full-body no. Creating more from flow, not force.



🕊 How I’m Slowing Down This Month


We live in a world that glorifies busy. But this month, I’m choosing softness… on purpose.


Here’s how I’m slowing down without checking out:


1. Single-Tasking, Not Multi-Tasking


Doing one thing at a time, and doing it well. Whether that’s replying to emails or sipping tea in the morning, I’m trying to actually be there for it.


2. Screen-Free Evenings


I’m aiming for at least 3 screen-free nights a week. No doomscrolling. Just books, baths, long walks, or chatting on the phone. My sleep and spirit thank me every time.


3. Slower Social Media


Unfollowing what doesn’t inspire, muting accounts that drain me, and curating my feed with intention. I want my scroll time to feel creative, not competitive.


4. Romanticising the Ordinary


  • Lighting a candle with breakfast

  • Putting lemon in my water

  • Wearing perfume even if I’m home

  • Listening to French café jazz while cooking


Tiny things. But they make life feel like a little poem.



🌸 My Daily Gentle Routine (In Progress)


Here’s what I’m trying to do most days. No pressure, just intention.


  • Wake up slowly (no phone for 30 min)

  • Make tea and write a short journal entry

  • Stretch or go on a walk

  • Work with music and regular breaks

  • Afternoon pick-me-up (hydration or sun!)

  • Wind down with skincare, a book, and herbal tea


Some days it happens. Some days it doesn’t. And that’s okay.

🌻 June Affirmations


I’m also writing these in my planner each week, just to stay grounded.


🕊 I welcome slowness as a gift, not a punishment.

🕊 I don’t need to hustle to be worthy.

🕊 I trust that rest supports my growth.

🕊 I allow myself to be gentle and joyful.



💬 Good Intentions: Final Thoughts


June doesn’t have to be loud or rushed to be meaningful. This is your permission to slow down, check in with yourself, and bloom gently with achievable good intentions. You don’t need to prove anything. Just feel present, soft, and steady in your own rhythm.


Wherever you are, however you’re feeling, I hope this post inspires you to take a deep breath, light a candle, and come home to yourself this season.
