Living The Clean Code

Returning to yourself through small, unshakeable acts of clarity.

Living in alignment is an act of conscious devotion. It begins with presence—small, conscious choices that bring you back to yourself.
With noticing what no longer fits—and choosing, again and again, to live from a deeper place of truth.

At Proper Standard™, we believe alignment begins the moment you stop outsourcing your authority. When you stop numbing what you feel. When you begin listening to the signals your body has been trying to send you all along.

The Clean Code™ guides your return to alignment through conscious decisions—made in real time, in real life.
It’s a clear, repeatable framework for creating a life that holds you.

It begins with noticing.
There’s friction in your system.
A food, a thought, a product, a pattern—and your body knows it.

And then, in that noticing—you respond.
You begin to shift, gently but clearly.
You move something out. You say no. You say yes to something new.
And you do that again. And again. Until clarity begins to compound.

We call this living the Clean Code.

It’s not loud. It’s not dramatic. But it changes everything.

How We Live It

As founders, The Clean Code™ isn’t a philosophy we teach. It’s a way of living we return to, over and over—across every layer of our lives.

BODY
Elle: “Healing my relationship with food taught me more about self-trust than anything else. It wasn’t about one big shift—it was noticing the small choices that either disconnected me or returned me to myself. Studying nutrition helped me see clearly, but it was how I used that knowledge that brought me home.”
Tamara: “I rebuilt my body after injury—step by step, meal by meal, mile by mile. What I learned was this: healing doesn’t happen by force. It happens by clearing the path for the body to remember how to thrive.”

MIND
Elle: “Journaling gives me access to the real story underneath the story. The more I pay attention to what I’m thinking—and what I’m avoiding—the easier it is to clear the noise.”
Tamara: “I’ve learned how to quiet the things that compete for my mental energy. Screens. Tasks. Scrolling. I protect the space where clarity lives.”

ENVIRONMENT
Elle: “My space reflects my frequency. If I’m overwhelmed, I start with what I can touch—clearing the kitchen bench, lighting incense, removing anything that doesn’t support how I want to feel.”
Tamara: “Design isn’t just aesthetic—it’s energetic. I curate my space to support the life I actually want to live. Everything has its place, including peace.”

ENERGY
Elle: “I track my energy more than my tasks. When it dips, I check what I’ve let in. Is it sugar? A conversation? A habit that doesn’t match who I’ve become?”
Tamara: “Saying no has become my sacred ritual. Every time I honour my boundaries, I preserve the energy I need for what matters most.”

An Invitation.

The Clean Code™ is a system of return.
It moves through small shifts. Quiet decisions. Clear removal.

It’s a way of choosing what stays in your life—and what doesn’t.

And it begins with one simple moment of honesty: Something in me wants to change.

So if you’ve been feeling unclear, inflamed, heavy—Let this be your invitation to come back.

To listen. To lighten. To begin again.

Because what you remove clears the way.
And what you choose next?
That becomes your new standard.
