Sunday Thinking
"If we don’t experience gratitude for what we have, we’re always looking down the road for what’s next."
The weekly Sunday Thinking newsletter is quick-hit content that aims to provide a booster shot to your thought process as you end and start your week.
"What is for you won’t pass you by. So live in the moment. Fall in love with the little things. Look for magic in the everyday. Treasure those that are in your life today. Follow the dream even if it feels scary. Take a chance. Trust that good things are coming. Have fun. Relax, exhale, fall in love. Smile. Know that you are wonderful just as you are, and that what is for you won’t pass you by."
I. Faith Is Freedom from Fear
Six uncomfortable lessons that it would be wise for us to learn:
Regret will haunt you more than failure.
You are always responsible for your emotional reactions.
Don’t feed your problems with thoughts. Starve them with action.
Your life will be defined by your ability to handle uncertainty.
If your goal is to have a healthier mind, start by removing all the junk from your diet.
Your best life won’t seek validation, but insecurity will.

II. Unearth Your Beliefs
We are like computers, and our beliefs are the software with which we’re programmed.
Often our beliefs are programmed into us without our knowledge by our:
Culture, community, religion, and family.
Even though we don’t choose those subconscious programs, they run our lives.
They control our:
Decisions, perspectives, feelings, and interactions, so they determine our destiny.
What we believe, we become.
There is nothing more important than unearthing what we really believe to be true about ourselves and our world.

III. Simply Because You Exist
You are worthy of having support. You are worthy of having true partnership.
You are worthy of love. You are worthy of having your heart held.
You are worthy to be adored. You are worthy to be cherished.
You are worthy to have someone say, "You rest. I got this." And actually deliver on that promise.
You don't have to earn it. You don't have to prove it.
You don't have to bargain for it. You don't have to beg for it.
You are worthy. Worthy. Simply because you exist.

IV. What We’re Excited About
The ideal sleeping position is on the side, but without the proper support, a good morning is not in the forecast. With an adjustable design, the Marlow Pillow adapts to give side sleepers the support they need. It's made with a proprietary fill of memory foam and polyester fiber made using NASA technology and a unique zippered design for easy adjustability, allowing users to find the exact loft profile that fits them.
At the same time, cooling-infused memory foam and ventilated zipper gussets help create better airflow and regulate your body temperature, so you stay cool during the night, while its antimicrobial shell repels unwelcomed guests like dust mites and bacteria.
The pillow has been perfected over eight years with numerous research, surveys, and prototypes, but to ensure satisfaction, it's also backed by Brooklinen's best-in-class customer service and a risk-free warranty.

The Last Words…
"Forget all that. All you planned and all you expected, all you anticipated life to be. All the stories you tell yourself about who you are and what you’re capable of. What if the limit is solely within your mind? What if the callings in your heart are a better and clearer measure of what’s truly possible? What if, all along, what you needed was the courage to feel, to know, and to leap? There is love and there is potential and there is beauty flowing from every moment of your life. Yes, even right here, and even right now. The world does not change, your perception changes. You sensitize yourself to what was there all along. So I hope you will allow your life to be bigger than you ever thought it could be. I hope you will wipe the mental slate clean and begin again, with the truth of who you are today, and all you hope to be tomorrow. I hope you will realize just how much is within you, and around you. I hope you will let yourself do more than you ever thought you could."
