"Gratitude settles the rumble of anger. It calms the stressed heart. It redefines perception. It heals." Co-founder of the Hey Soul subscription box reflects on the opportunities a little gratitude can bring in times of good and bad. As we enter a new year, think about how you can express how grateful you are to be able to start fresh in 2016!
Finding Gratitude: The Good, Bad & Ugly
No matter how the day unfolds; good, bad or ugly, gratitude is a choice. It’s the difference in seeing life as a diaper gone wild, or seeing the beaming life of a baby in your arms. Challenge yourself to find gratitude in every day.

This month we teamed up with The Nerd Journals for one of our newest journals. Erica agreed to use the “Dream the Impossible” for the entire month of September. The best part is that this was her very first Éccolo journal. We’ve been watching her journey from the moment she got her new book in the mail.
We noticed that in no time Erica took to the acid-free pages that are also great for customization. Who says you each day you write has to be on the traditional ivory paper. Some days call for a little color, or a seasonal look. Sometimes a sticker or a photo can say much more than you can put into words.
Follow The Nerd Journals on Instagram to see more of Erica’s journey with her first Éccolo book. Share YOUR journey with us! Tag us on Instagram using #EccoloWorld to get your Éccolo story on our blog.

Stay grounded: Meditation, your yoga journal, & inspirational quotes
Meditation is very beneficial to your mental and physical health. Regular meditation has been known to lower high blood pressure, reduce anxiety, and decrease tension-related pain like headaches, joint problems, and insomnia. However it is not always about twisting your legs and closing your eyes for some quiet time. Some find that yoga is a direct route to the discipline and motivation that goes into meditating.
Keeping a yoga journal to log practices holds YOU accountable for the goals you’ve set for each practice. This also gets your creative juices flowing, inspiring you to get out other non-yoga related frustrations.
DoYouYoga.com came up with some amazing quotes that you can add to your yoga journal and refer to as you embark on your transforming journey to conquering all of your goals with peace of mind.
We’re halfway through the year! Here are some tips to keep your planner neat and organized.
The year is officially halfway finished. That means your weekly planner is probably full of scratch notes and important papers from all of the great things you’ve been up to. This article will give you some DIY tips to spruce up that agenda you loved so much at the beginning of the year, then amplify the way you plan each week. You’ll love adding and knocking tasks off your to-do list for the rest of the year.
Use colored paper clips to secure loose notes, tickets, and receipts to the date or week so you can easily find it even weeks away. You can also tie your favorite colored ribbons to paperclips to use as bookmarks and never forget or lose notes for an important date.
Glue a small invitation envelope to the front or back inside of your planner for extra storage.
Cut out thin pieces of textured ribbon, or long stickers, to separate blocks for writing on each page of your planner or just to add some fun designs to your pages.
Now that you’ve got a little inspiration you can start decorating the rest of your Éccolo planner. It’s not too late to plan this year in style!
