About Chiara

Hi, I’m Chiara and I love to write about mindfulness and about keeping it real. So much that I teach people how to work with intentions on social media and reach their business goals while sipping a good ol' cup of smart purposes.

#anintentionalday keeps the doctor away 🍏

It feels good to have a safe landing place when things get busy and the world feels stranger or dispersive, don’t you think? I’ve created this hashtag only few weeks ago and to me, it immediately felt like entering home, welcoming new friends, fill a cup and chat around this big table that is Instagram.
Since the very beginning, we have talked about home, creativity, work and we have always done so with an intention: a prompt or simply a narrative thread that always led us back to the word ‘DO’.

Because ‘to do’ is the panacea to all diseases, better than an apple a day, as far as I am concerned: it means to shake off doubts and learn to improve, or set a goal, even if small. It has also meant to understand I can do it or I can fail before what I thought. It is growing.
This hashtag is for us who are active even when we take it slow.

→ Prompt for the next hundreds of weeks: use this hashtag in your post so I’ll be making one more cup, a place at the table is always found.
Good summer friends!
xo, Chiara

‘Make it simple but significant’ is a quote I’ve used for a project I’m working on and I tell you, I strongly believe it’s a sacrosanct truth. The problem with simplicity is that is not simple. At all.
Reach simplicity means having learns what it means
→ to let go (not even close)
→ refining (half way)
→ honing is on what matters most (proud but not a master)
→ quieting all the noice so you can finally relax and be you (Buddha level).

It takes honesty, insight and time to take the first step to define who we are and then develop from there.
I'd also add a good sense of humour and study, and not only from a work perspective.

It’s a long way to the rock if you wanna rock and roll, they say but I’m ready to walk to path of growth: starting from a walk in the wood. What is your baby step to reach a simple life? Own less, be more present, carve out more free time?  xo, Chiara

You will be exactly as happy as you decide to be ☀️

Mental health check in, my friends. Tell me, an a scale of 1 to 10, where are you at?
Last days of school today: from tomorrow, we’ll be back to Chaos 1.0, where kids are at home and we have to finish work 🙅🏻‍♀️ Ready?

➡ Get your most creative work done when the kids are in bed, early morning. I’m not a fan either but it’s temporary and it works!

➡ Come up with a to-do list and then reward them: clean the room, brush the teeth, getting dress, do some yoga. Kids love a schedule and a little reward will help - 5 gummy bears each here and the world will smile at them 🌈

➡ Turn off notifications on your devices, it seems too basic but it’s a huge distraction when you have to be ultra-efficient with your time.  Share with me your secret sauce to smile and productivity!👇🏼

Jomo days - the Joy of Missing Out I purposely sk

Jomo days - the Joy of Missing Out

I purposely skipped our Friday appointment to enjoy all the awareness of this feeling.

That awareness that
⨳ beyond the summer,
⨳ beyond a Covid that loosens its grip, brings us closer to the rhythms of before and reduces the hours on social networks,
⨳ beyond some work to finish before going on vacation,
it reminds me of having reached that point where I am enough, even far to other people’s eyes.
 Here yesterday in the forest to contemplate the giants and the Lilliputians, the fleeting and the apparently immutable.
For me, one of the best ways to let go of thoughts, not to confront anyone else but my thoughts, to create instead of consume.

This week:
📷 Share a photo of a walk in the woods, a detail of Nature, a splash in the water. Post your favourite by next Thursday. ⁠
✏️In the caption: What feeling do you feel stronger when you are in Nature? Does it give you a sense of lightness and renewal too? Share your thought using the hashtag #anintentionalday - this way I can comment and share your pics and I invite all of you to do the same.⁠

How are you spending your days?
Are you already vacationers or like us eternally undecided to travel or not?

Music is life: that’s why your hearts have beats

Music is life: that’s why your hearts have beats.⁠
Do you have a special connection with music? I have, although I studied classic guitar only for a few years (I couldn’t stand solfège, guys who could as a teenager?!).
⁠
The first memory of a bit, I’ve got it thanks to my sister who, because of a syndrome, used to rock her head to every sound that surrounded her. ⁠
⁠
I still remember the record player, my grandpa’s LPs and the headphones of the Walkman in the 90s; the car rides with dad singing The Beatles, Battisti or MIna at the top of his lungs. I can still hear my mom cooking and singing La Boheme.⁠
⁠
What an incredible force music can be: the one that calms you and the one you put on and throw you down. How many thoughts and films were born from a song in my head. How much drama and happiness. Creativity flows so rich from a row of notes put together.⁠
⁠
→This week: Find what music motivates you. When you listen to your fav song, how does this make you feel inside? Can you create a story out of the song?⁠
⁠
📷 Share a photo that your music inspired, something you could imagine thanks to some special notes. Post your favourite by next Thursday. ⁠
✏️In the caption: try to elaborate what triggered the story and share the thinking with us using the hashtag #anintentionalday - this way I can comment and share your pics and I invite all of you to do the same.⁠
⁠
I wish you a very good weekend, we’re off to lots of fun and I’ll remember to share some bits of it, music included of course!⁠
xo, Chiara
