IN THIS ISSUE
Dear reader,
As we step into July, a month often filled with movement and momentum, we invite you to pause.
This volume is a quiet reminder that mental health isn’t just about crisis or cure it’s about daily care. About learning to sit with yourself, gently. About honoring your emotions, your boundaries, your becoming.
In these pages, we explore softness as strength, stillness as medicine, and presence as a form of power. You’ll find gentle words, grounding ideas, and small rituals to return to when the world feels too loud.
Mental wellness is not linear, and it doesn’t look the same for everyone. But here, you’re allowed to feel, to rest, to reflect without rushing to be okay.
What we’ve gathered here is not a prescription, but a quiet offering. A hand extended. A place to exhale.
Thank you for taking this moment with us. We’re so glad you’re here. Your mind matters. Your pace is enough.
Let’s keep walking slowly, and together.
Enjoy, The SLMW Team

This shift can free us from cycles of self-criticism and help us reclaim mental space for joy, creativity, and rest. Body neutrality isn’t about giving up on self-care; it’s about redefining it as an act of respect, not correction In a world that profits from our insecurities, choosing to simply be in your body with presence, softness, and honesty is a quiet revolution. This article explores how letting go of appearance-based worth can bring us closer to peace BODYNEUTRALITYINVITESYOUTO CAREFORYOURBODY—WITHOUT NEEDINGTOLOVEITEVERYDAY.
For years, we’ve been told to love our bodies no matter what but what if that feels out of reach some days? Body neutrality offers a gentler alternative: a way of being in your body without pressure to celebrate it constantly Instead of focusing on appearance, it invites us to honor what our bodies do how they carry us, move us, support us regardless of how they look in the mirror
LiveinYourBody
For years, the body positivity movement encouraged women to embrace and celebrate their bodies, no matter their size, shape, or appearance It brought powerful images of women confidently showing stretch marks, cellulite, scars, and differences that had long been hidden in shame This movement has opened conversations about beauty standards and has helped many women feel seen and valued
But for many, “loving your body” all the time has quietly turned into yet another expectation to meet What happens on the days when looking in the mirror feels heavy? When you ’ re bloated, tired, or simply disconnected from your reflection? Sometimes, telling yourself “I love my body” can feel like a lie, and that can create guilt, frustration, or a sense of failure for not feeling positive enough
Enter body neutrality.
Body neutrality shifts the focus from how your body looks to what your body does It invites you to respect your body for carrying you through life, regardless of how you feel about its appearance on any given day It acknowledges that your body doesn’t have to be beautiful by society’s standards or even your own for you to treat it with care.
Imagine waking up and not immediately judging your reflection, but instead simply noticing: “This is my body today ” You don’t have to force gratitude for your thighs or a celebration of your belly rolls if it doesn’t feel true You can simply allow your body to exist without commentary, while you focus on living.
This mindset helps free up mental energy It’s about wearing clothes that are comfortable, moving in ways that feel good, and eating to nourish yourself, not to shrink yourself It’s about taking care of your body because it deserves care, not because you ’ re trying to force it into a different shape
Body neutrality can also help break cycles of self-criticism Instead of measuring your worth by a number on a scale or the way your jeans fit, you measure your day by how you feel, what you experience, and what you create It creates space to pursue interests, relationships, and rest, without the constant noise of body judgment in the background
It doesn’t mean giving up on self-care It means redefining self-care: not as a project to “fix” yourself, but as a practice of kindness toward yourself, no matter what your body looks like today
In a world that profits from telling women they need to look different to be worthy, body neutrality is a gentle act of rebellion It’s choosing to step out of the constant cycle of comparison and criticism, and into a space where your worth is not defined by your reflection, but by your presence in your own life
You don’t have to love your body every day You just have to live in it, with respect, gentleness, and an understanding that your body is not the enemy it’s your home
And you deserve to live in that home with peace

Q: Hi Dr. Emerson! For those meeting you for the first time, can you tell us a little bit about yourself? Hi! I’m Claire Emerson a clinical psychologist, speaker, and mom based near Seattle I work with families to build healthier habits around technology and emotional health. When I’m not talking screens and balance, you’ll find me hiking with my kids or sipping chamomile tea while trying to keep up with their latest tech discoveries.
Q: What inspired you to focus on screen time and emotional balance?
Honestly, it was my own family experience. Like many parents, I struggled to find the middle ground between over-restricting screens and letting technology take over. I realized so many families felt the same confusion and frustration, but lacked practical, judgment-free support. That pushed me to create resources that honor both the challenges and the love behind every digital choice
Q: Your message feels both clear and comforting. How did you develop your unique tone? I aim to speak as I would to a close friend honestly, warmly, and without blame. Parents don’t need guilt or fear, they need kindness and actionable guidance. My goal is to empower families to feel confident in their choices, knowing that perfection isn’t the goal balance is.
Claire’s message is warm and grounded a gentle nudge toward reclaiming presence at the table In a world that rarely slows down, she reminds us that connection begins not with control, but with simple, intentional moments shared face to face
Q: Can you share one simple digital boundary you recommend to families?
“Balance isn’t about eliminating technology it’s about choosing presence in every moment, even in a digital world.”
Absolutely One small but powerful boundary is a “tech-free dinner” rule. Putting devices away at mealtime creates space for real connection and gives everyone a daily moment to unplug and be present together
Q: What do you do personally when things feel overwhelming or out of balance?
I take a deliberate break from screens. Whether it’s a walk outside or reading a physical book, stepping away resets my focus and calms my mind. It reminds me there’s a whole world beyond notifications and pings
Q: What advice would you offer to parents feeling overwhelmed by digital demands today?
Start small and be kind to yourself. Change doesn’t happen overnight, and every little effort counts. Try one new habit, like a short screen-free period or a family check-in Remember, it’s about progress, not perfection

FOCUS MODE ON
Step into the quiet revolution of mental wellness a curated blend of daily habits, mindful movement, and intentional brain play designed to bring clarity, calm, and resilience to modern life.
From breathing breaks and unplugged afternoons to memory games and cognitive rituals, this season we’re honoring the strength of a well-tended mind.
Mental health is no longer a hidden conversation. It’s front and center and it’s becoming more beautiful, more accessible, and more human. The focus has shifted from fixing to nurturing, from suppressing to understanding. This is not about perfection it’s about presence, self-awareness, and sustainable strength
Let’s explore the essence of mental clarity, the new cornerstone of balanced living.
Think morning stillness before screens, journaling instead of doomscrolling, soundscapes that soothe, and quiet challenges that stretch the brain in playful ways.
Because mental fitness isn’t only about therapy or rest it’s also about curiosity, creativity, and daily care.
The rise of brain wellness rituals reflects this shift From puzzle time and memory boosters to digital detoxes and sound meditations, we’re seeing a new kind of self-care one that values stimulation and softness. One that says: your brain deserves as much love as your body and skin.
In parallel, our sister platform SEELIFE+ explores this very terrain offering guided brain games, logic challenges, and focus exercises designed to sharpen cognition while keeping joy at the core It’s not just play it’s purposeful play And it’s all about giving your thoughts the space they need to stretch, breathe, and grow
This season, mental wellness moves gently but intentionally welcoming mindfulness, structure, and delight into every corner of life Whether through a screen-free morning, a Sudoku break, or a slow walk through your thoughts, you’re invited to build strength not by force, but by flow.
“YOUR
MIND IS YOUR MOST POWERFUL MUSCLE —TRAIN IT WITH KINDNESS, NOT PRESSURE.”
In the age of constant stimulation, tending to your mental space is no longer optional it’s essential. But mental wellness doesn’t always mean slowing down. Sometimes, it means engaging your mind with purpose, challenging it gently, and feeding it stimuli that calm rather than clutter. Whether it’s a five-minute memory game, a gratitude journaling habit, or solving a logic puzzle with your morning coffee, mental fitness lives in the micro-moments. And when those small practices are layered with intention, they build resilience from the inside out. As we explore new pathways to mental clarity, one thing becomes clear: wellness is a spectrum. It includes the stillness of breathwork, the joy of playful learning, the power of focused attention, and the beauty of rest. This season, we invite you to shape your inner world with care. In your home. In your habits. In your thoughts. Because when your mind feels supported, your entire life softens yet somehow becomes stronger too. So go ah d f h l i T h k h p
“A CLEAR MIND ISN’T FOUND—IT’S BUILT, ONE MINDFUL MOMENT AT A TIME.”

GlowPick BeautyHighlight
This month, we ’ re turning toward SOLEIL, a Vitamin Boost Serum that feels like bottled daylight. Lightweight yet powerful, it wakes up tired skin with a blend of brightening vitamins and dewy hydration, leaving behind nothing but a soft, healthy glow. No shimmer. No shortcuts. Just radiance, the way nature intended.
Glow isn’t a finish—it’ s a feeling. And this is your daily dose of light.
Let the sunshine in— starting with your skin.
There’ s a certain kind of ritual that feels like morning light on your face —quiet, golden, full of promise. Skincare, when done with intention, becomes less about routine and more about rhythm. A gentle reminder that nourishment doesn’t just come from food or rest—it comes from how you care for yourself, moment by moment.
AP SSION
Fashion is more than fabric it’s language without words. What we wear tells a story: how we feel, who we are, who we’re becoming. It’s a creative act, a mirror, a moodboard made real.
At See Life My Way, we see personal style not just as a statement, but as a form of emotional clarity Some days call for bold color, other days for softness and simplicity. Either way, dressing with intention becomes a small, wearable ritual of self-awareness one choice at a time.
Clothing can shift our mindset. A favorite jacket can bring comfort. A tailored silhouette can channel strength. A flowy dress can invite softness. These aren’t just aesthetic choices they’re emotional cues. Your closet becomes a space for self-reflection, a daily opportunity to meet yourself where you are
Fashion doesn’t have to be fast or performative. It can be mindful, slow, and deeply personal A well-loved pair of shoes. A vintage coat that feels like armor. A scarf tied just right that somehow lifts your mood. These details matter. They speak your language, even when you haven’t said a word.
To dress with passion is to honor your inner life as much as your outer world. It’s a quiet form of care a way of saying, “I see myself today.”
“STYLE IS NOT ABOUT STANDING OUT—IT’S ABOUT SHOWING UP AS YOURSELF.”
“FASHIONISN’TA
So whether your style is structured or spontaneous, minimal or maximalist, timeless or trend-forward choose pieces that speak to who you truly are Let your clothing be an extension of your energy, not an expectation. Wear textures that calm you, silhouettes that empower you, and colors that feel like you, not like a costume.
Your wardrobe can be more than beautiful it can be grounding. It can hold space for your confidence, your comfort, your growth. The right outfit doesn’t fix your day, but it can frame it differently. It can offer ease, presence, or a quiet spark of joy when you need it most.
Let your closet become part of your wellness A mirror of your current season. A soft form of daily self-expression. A way of saying to the world and to yourself “This is how I feel today, and that’s enough.”
Because fashion, at its best, isn’t just about how you look it’s about how you feel inside your skin. About creating a sense of home in what you wear. About stepping into yourself fully, one outfit at a time.
“OWN
YOUR STORY,
WEAR
YOUR
TRUTH,
AND LET EVERY STEP BE A FEARLESS ACT OF BECOMING.”
CanTalkingtoAI HELPYOURMENTALHEALTH?
Not so long ago, talking to a machine about your feelings sounded like something out of a sci-fi movie. Yet here we are, in a world where millions of people open a chat window to pour out their worries, share a small victory, or ask, “Why do I feel this way today?”
AI chats are not therapists, nor do they replace the warmth of a friend’s voice or the insight of a mental health professional. But they are becoming a tool sometimes a surprisingly helpful one in how we care for our minds
For many, typing feelings into a chat helps to untangle the knots in their heads. Writing out your thoughts often clarifies what’s really bothering you, and AI can mirror them back with simple, nonjudgmental observations It might suggest taking a short walk, remind you to breathe, or offer gentle reflections that encourage you to see things from a different angle.
The best part? An AI will never roll its eyes or tell you to “just get over it.” It’s available at 2 AM when your mind won’t stop spinning, or during a lunch break when you need to vent before getting back to work In a world where many feel isolated despite constant online connection, AI can provide a sense of being heard, even if it’s by lines of code.
rse, we need to keep perspective AI doesn’t stand” you in the human sense, and it doesn’t real connection or professional help when facing mental health challenges. It can’t offer the of a hug, the shared silence with a friend who or the deep insights that come from therapy
part of a mental wellness toolkit, AI chats can offer ressure space to reflect, journal in a conversational d gently check in with yourself. They can help us emotional patterns, track moods, or remind us to all steps toward self-care when we’re elmed.
nd, technology can add a supportive layer to our health journey, but it’s not the whole journey. Real ations, community, and caring for our bodies and emain at the heart of well-being AI can remind us he, but it’s up to us to take that breath and to aching out to the people and practices that truly heal.
“AI CAN REMIND US TO BREATHE—BUT IT’S UP TO US TO TAKE THAT BREATH.”
