Often times people mistake “soft life” as a code for being passive, syrupy sweet, or checking out of the real world.
It isn’t.
Softness doesn’t mean tiptoeing through life.
It doesn’t mean shrinking yourself.
It doesn’t mean living behind a filter of fake smiles and “good vibes only.”
A soft life means one thing above all:
stop being so fucking hard on yourself.
What Softness Really Is
Softness is letting go of all the shit that’s bullied you in your own mind — all those voices that told you you’re not enough, not doing enough, not achieving enough.
Softness means going easy on yourself, and actually caring for yourself the way you’d care for a beloved friend.
That’s it. That’s the heart of it.
75Soft: Real Self-Care
That’s why I created 75Soft. It’s the path of actual self-care.
Not bubble baths. Not Sephora hauls. Not the kind of “treat yourself” culture that still keeps you running on fumes.
Ya know… those carrots that capitalism dangles in front of us for running ourselves into the ground.
A soft life is about showing up as you are, taking up space, and giving yourself the kind of kindness and consistency you’ve always deserved.
Simple, habits of REAL care.
So you can calm your ass down and be grounded enough to live in the calm amidst the chaos.
Why 30 Minutes Can Change Everything
We get 24 hours in a day. If you spend just 30 minutes of that day on yourself, that’s dedicating 2% of your time on you.
But here’s the magic: if you give yourself that 30 minutes, the other 98% of your day become more powerful. And you’ll be shocked at how much easier it is to manage.
Because when you tend to yourself, everything else flows better. You don’t freak out over little glitches, you don’t get caught in the loop of decision making.
Your energy is more aligned – your mind is clearer – and your capacity expands.
How does that 30 minutes break down?
10 minutes of journaling
10 minutes of movement
10 minutes to actually take your time to get dressed, take a longer shower, etc.
Because the other bits? They are things that are worked into your day – not adding more into it.
We ALL drink. So do it with intention.
You do stuff every day you can turn into meditation – cooking dinner, gardening, even washing dishes.
Creativity can be infused into everyday tasks, too.
Yes, there are 7 things. But the overarching message is INTENTIONAL KINDNESS to yourself.
You’ve probably been hard on yourself your whole damn life.
Being soft is the polar opposite of that.
A soft life isn’t weakness.
It’s choosing to treat yourself with tenderness in a world that demands you grind yourself down.
It’s radical.
It’s rebellious.
And it’s yours to claim — one soft step, one soft practice, one soft day at a time.
That’s the path of 75Soft. And I hope you’ll come along and join me.
We start Monday, August 18th and it ends on Halloween.
Which is pretty fucking magical, huh?
Thanks for your inspiration and support.
You have no idea how excited I am to do this with you!
I use to wake up and watch you make your daily water! I counted it as a magical part of my day. I look forward to that again….and taking it even further. Thanks so much for sharing this with us Gina!
I made myself a big jug of water filled with fresh strawberries, English cucumbers and lemon slices. It tastes so refreshing and delicious!
And its pretty.. I’ve been drinking it from a pretty thermal container.
Later I’ll be trimming some branches from my Meyer lemon tree to work into fresh flowers.
Little pockets of self care feel so nourishing!
