Elevating The Mundane

by: Jenn

Elevating The Mundane - How To Make The Normal Feel Special

Many past clients of mine have had some sort of precious object or heirloom tucked away out of sight. And I totally understand how that can come to be. Some of the most important things to us are not big, grand or expensive; instead, they are mementos of the every day: our favorite book from our childhood or our grandmother’s cookbook.

In a way we feel torn with these things: on one hand, they are worth an awful lot to us but on the other, we know that they don’t appear special to the outside viewer.

Elevating the mundane is one way we can begin to celebrate these minutiae, a way to boldly underline their importance and take them from the every day to the elevated.

For example, when I was little my grandmother made all kinds of homemade outfits for my Barbie dolls. They were hand crocheted tiny dresses with lacy hems, wee rainbow hot pants and pink circle skirts all finished off with delicate but functioning buttons. When I was a kid, of course, they were just part of my toys, totally normal, background noise. But upon finding these as an adult I was completely struck by the level of detail and quality they possessed. (Plus where did one even get those tiny doll-sized buttons in a small northern British Columbian town in the mid-1980s? )

Framed Doll Clothes

In one of my latest moves I came across them again in a box and was suddenly motivated into taking action. They represented a lot of things to me—family, creativity, talent and hardwork—and I wanted to move them beyond their home in a plastic box in the basement storage locker.

So I framed them.

And I did it myself, staying true to the DIY vibe of the outfits themselves. I put one outfit each in a large white Ikea frame to give them some presence and I hung them up on my wall, stacked one on top of the other. (I didn’t even those fancy shadowbox frames! Just regular ol’ ones.)

It didn’t cost me anything more than the frames and those little outfits suddenly became a real conversation piece in my apartment.

Elevating the mundane is not about what the object actually is; it’s about creating something special with the object. It’s making the ordinary extraordinary.

So if you have any small but important pieces, why not think about how you can elevate them too? I promise that it doesn’t have to cost a lot of money or take a lot of your time. I guarantee end results are going to be unique and beautiful—exactly the kind of thing we want to surround ourselves within Conscious Design.




I hope that was inspiring! Please let me know how the adventures in elevating the mundane go for you.

Right now, your SOUL is calling for your magic.S Right now, your SOUL is calling for your magic.So are you ready to answer the call?I know life doesn't seem so magical at times.And I also know that when you're down or feeling defeated it's REALLY EASY to forget one simple thing.The magic is IN you.And it always has been!Every time we tell ourselves that we're not strong enoughOr good enough or smart enoughOr that we need someone or something ELSE to swoop in and "fix" usWe're opting out of using OUR power.But none of that stuff means that you AREN'T magic.It simply means that you've FORGOTTEN and fallen out of touch.But every day brings us a new opportunity to connect with our TRUTH.So what are YOU going to do with your magic today?How can YOU decide to change your life for the better, even if only by the tiniest degree?If you feel like sharing, drop me a comment below!And if you need a little help unlocking your magic, then reach out! I'm looking for a few special souls who are ready to undo their old ways of being so they can BLOSSOM into their dream life. Is that you? Send me a DM to learn more!
The present creates the past.Or, in other words, The present creates the past.Or, in other words, your STORY about the who, the what, the why IS the only thing that matters.Mindset work won't change the facts of course.It's not going to go back in time to change things or make other people suddenly see the light.(Damnit!)But it can change the person you BECAME because of what happened.Sometimes we close ourselves off to our own miracles because we're clinging so hard to those old stories.When we think that because the past is set in stone, our stories have to stay the same too.I get it though! I used to be SHOCKINGLY ATTACHED to my sob story, firmly stuck in victim mode.All the time DREAMING about where I wanted to go--and confused as to why I wasn't there yet.Fortunately (after a lot of STRUGGLE) I opened my mind to change, massive shifts and MIRACLES.That's why I can tell you that getting stuck in wishing things were different cuts us off from both our power in the present and our ability to process.So know this my beautiful soul: the only liberation we need is our own.When you get brave enough to finally DO that, your whole world really will change.(& PS if you need a little help creating your own miracle, I have a few coaching spots open! Wanna learn more about how to apply this powerful work to your life? Send me a DM & let's chat!)
And now for a quick message from your Higher Self: And now for a quick message from your Higher Self:Love yourself enough to LET IT GOBreathe deep & have a happy Sunday my beautiful babes!
You are magic itself.And your desires have meani You are magic itself.And your desires have meaning for the WORLD.So if you really KNEW that you were here to feel happy and do the things that bring you joy, what would you be doing differently?If you’re like me, it’s too easy to forget our true divine nature.It’s too easy to believe our worries and limitations more than we trust ourselves and this beautiful journey.But if you could trust your magic for just a moment, what would change?If you knew your dreams where a matter of WHEN not if, how would this moment be different?All the magic you ever needed is IN you already. All you need to do right now is TUNE into it!

Identity shifting is KEY to manifesting.Because Identity shifting is KEY to manifesting.Because you ALWAYS manifest from your subconscious mind.Meaning you WILL play out old programs and ideas over and over again.Until YOU decide enough's enough! And do the work to REPROGRAM your mind to reflect what it you want and who you need to be.But sometimes, this work doesn't FEEL like it's doing anything.Those little tiny shifts on the inside are close to invisible--which might even make you doubt that it's happening at all.But trust me gorgeous, it IS.Keep taking tiny steps forward.Keep doubling down on who you WANT to be.TRUST the process and understandThat little by little, bit by bitIt all adds upUntil one day you look around and realize: I'm already there.
