Hi friends, welcome to this brand new cosy lil corner of the internet!!! The first EVER episode of ✨ Finding your Casual Magic ✨ (ngl I’m a lil scared hehe).
Casual magic is about how we find beauty in the mundane everyday. We tend to look forward to the 1% of days in our lives to find joy, like the birthday, the wedding, the job promotion.
But honestly, 99% of our lives are just the same routines — and how sad would it be if we only chose to experience joy 1% of the time? Casual magic is about looking for these tiny moments in every day that are casually magic.
In my first episode I open with a short guided meditation which allows you to settle in and feel grounded in the otherwise hectic, whirlwind of our lives. I then share with you my journey on how I became a studytuber, the inspiration behind my channel name and how I discovered Casual Magic. I share examples of when Casual Magic has played an important part in my life, including how I managed to balance my increasing workload and university life whilst navigating mental health challenges within my family.
I close the episode with my ‘Casual Magic of the Week’ followed by intention setting for the week ahead. Grab a journal or open your notes app and join me as we ask ourselves…
What went well this week?
What is a little win that I can celebrate?
What is something that challenged me this week?
What is something I would change coming into next week?
Based on these reflections, choose a one word intention for your coming week.
I am so grateful that you’re here and I hope you love this first episode, and if no one has told you today, you are enough. 💛
