Living Mindfully with Olivia’s Family

“Caring for the environment is something that should be taught from a young age,” Olivia says.

That belief guides the way her family lives each day. Small choices like carrying a tumbler, avoiding single use plastic, and being thoughtful about buying clothes help them reduce waste and live more responsibly.

It also shows in how they dress. Olivia’s family prefers clothes that are easy to mix and match, so each piece can be worn in different ways. By choosing colors and patterns that complement each other, they can experiment freely. Bright tones and playful motifs keep their style fresh and expressive without the need to constantly buy new outfits.

Their mindful approach extends to how they spend time together. Weekends are a chance to slow down. Mornings often begin with light exercise, followed by a visit to a new restaurant for lunch or dinner. Around the table, stories from the past week flow easily, and the family enjoys each other’s company without feeling rushed.

Evenings at home bring a gentle rhythm. Before bed, Olivia and her husband take a few minutes to talk or laugh together. It is a simple ritual, but one she looks forward to because it helps her unwind. Between her responsibilities at work and at home, Olivia also makes sure to carve out time for herself, sometimes through a workout and other times by meeting close friends. Those short breaks give her the energy she needs to return to her routine with a lighter heart.
