7 Ways to Glow

Dear Reader,

Glow is the warmth we share: in nature, in light, in what we give and what we receive.

7 Ways to Light Up Your Life Like a Glow Stick:

👀

1

Let your eyes linger
on something beautiful.

It will start to shine, if you give it a moment of your time.

💗

2

Ask someone about their Obsession.

Watch them light up with joy, and catch the contagion of their excitement.

✈️

3

Bring face masks while traveling.

A hydration habit, supplemented with drinking lots of water.

🤩

4

Play photobooth on Instagram
The glow is not in what covers your face,
but in your reaction of surprise and delight.
🔥

5

Feel the glow of a flame.
A match, a candle, the fire. Feel the texture of its warmth.
(But don’t touch don’t touch)

💖

6

Seek neon lighting,
and it will appear in unexpected places.

Appreciate its exquisite illumination.

🌌

7

Add stars.
Hang up glow-in-the-dark constellations on your wall.
I did this at uni, including an original, the star penguin.
