Our theme for this season is being easy on ourselves, with lots of self-love, music, clothing, and recipes that make us feel the good feels, because the more love we have for ourselves, the more love we have to share with others. Here are 5 things we love right now.

Wearing: plaid! From pants or dresses to this fabulous houndstooth plaid coat, we love this tried-and-true pattern for fall. Paired with white booties and your favorite jeans, this is one of our favorite look-good-feel-good outfits of the season.

Reading: Intuitive Self-Healing by Marie Manuchehri, RN, an informative guide to learning to trust your body through energy medicine. Energy medicine has existed in varying traditions for thousands of years. It encourages pain relief; increased energy; restored optimism; reduced stress, depression, and anxiety; and promotes an overall sense of well-being.

Doing: meditation. We love using the Calm App, or simply taking 1-10 minutes a day for deep breathing and relaxation. Even a few moments of stepping back from the hustle and bustle of the day can be a huge mood-booster.

Eating: butternut squash chili, topped with avocado, scallions, and served with a side of homemade cornbread. Hello, hearty comfort food!

Listening: to a playlist full of calm and happy vibes.
