Bold white text on black background reads MINDSET RAW. Simple, impactful design with an underline beneath the text.

Some days I just want to throw the whole thing away --- the blog, the vision, the brand.

And on those days, these aren’t motivational tools. They’re survival tools


White text "ESCAPE SURVIVAL MODE" is centered on a black background, creating a stark, urgent mood.

 


I. Good Pen + Note Pad


So I can spiral in handwriting instead of social media.


Black leather notebook with embossed compass design and ornate corners. Elastic band closure. Pen loop on cover. Elegant and vintage look.













II. Headphones


Block out the world. Play music that sounds like me.


Black over-ear headphones with cushioned ear pads on a white background. Simple, sleek design with visible buttons and LED indicator.













III. Candle I Can Only Burn When I’m Creating


Associates that scent with “trying again.”



Four scented candles labeled Cleansing Sage, Sea Breeze Vanilla, Serenity Lavender, Eucalyptus Fresh on a wooden table with pink flowers.













IV. Simple Mouse or Keyboard That Feels Good


Because if the tools are smooth, I’m more likely to use them.


Black gaming mouse with an angular design, featuring "MINISFORUM" text. The surface is smooth with a scroll wheel. Mood: sleek and modern.






Black computer keyboard with cord, displaying QWERTY layout and function keys. "Smart Card Terminal" text on the top right.











This isn’t always empowering.

But it’s mine. And these things help me keep showing up for it.
