Get Inspired!

Investing in yourself in any way, shape or form can be very exciting, yet daunting. Making a commitment to yourself and following through on your desires can be met with some resistance. Ask yourself: “Is this / now the right time to move out of […]

It is my birthday today and as I enter this new year, I feel more soft, whole, radiant and embodied than I ever have before.⁣ I feel more at home within myself, with a stronger feeling of grounding and inner peace. ⁣Much of the inner […]

Your Why is your source of intrinsic motivation. If you know your Why, you can drum up that little bit of courage and motivation that you need to get started. From there, it’s momentum, not motivation. Your Why is a list of reasons that resonate […]

Can you believe the New Year is less than 90 days away?! In just three short months, we’ll be welcoming and ringing in another year. This year was not at all as we all hoped for and expected with everything that has been happening across […]

Simplifying your life will bring balance, freedom, and joy. When we begin to live simply and experience these benefits, we begin to ask the next question, “Where else in my life can I remove distraction and simplify life to focus on the essentials?” Once we’re […]

Been spending this afternoon reflecting and reviewing the month gone and setting Intentions for the coming month. I talk all about the process on the latest episode of my #podcast? ‘Live a Well-Designed Life with Kiran’. Tune-in below! Live a Well-Designed Life · End of […]

Work’s tough. Sometimes the week gets you down. How do you make sure you’re back up by Monday? You could transform your home into your own refreshing, re-energising weekend retreat. Though a spa weekend or a mini vacation would probably be preferable, there are seven things you […]

When was last time you stepped out of your comfort zone? I know we won’t be hopping on planes and going on long trips anytime soon, but don’t let that be an excuse to let life get stagnant. If there is one thing I have […]

ENOUGH. It is perhaps the biggest thing we can come to terms with when it comes to our individual actions. It’s recognising the ‘too much’ in our lives and letting go of the excess. And I’m not just talking about love. Recognising that you’ve reached […]

Consider this a sign that you should take a moment to SLOW DOWN! The Italian & French way of life celebrates indulgences, eating slowly, time spent with loved ones around a dinner table. The importance that food and eating play in our daily lives is […]

Follow my blog with Bloglovin   “The truth is, unless you let go, unless you forgive yourself, unless you forgive the situation, unless you realize that the situation is over, you cannot move forward.”   What a beautiful way to talk about letting go and […]

Cooking is self-care at its most basic and nourishing. It is alchemy — you take ingredients and transform them into something delicious that feeds body and spirit. It is an act driven to get in touch with our physical selves. Nourishing our bodies with food […]

I spent a few hours this morning, setting my intentions for the next 3 months – especially as one season is coming to an end and a new one is about the begin; Autumn – my Soulmate Season. After the last few months of uncertainty […]

Growth is a beautiful thing. When you reach the place where you’re no longer mad or upset or hurt about the way some people chose to treat you or leave you, but you recognise they were just another piece of the puzzle to get you […]

If there’s one thing this year has taught me, it is simply this: “Life is what happens when we’re busy making plans.” I still remember the first couple of months, I was so excited about all the intentions I had set, all the plans I […]

Creating a life plan can help you feel more in control of your life and provide a clear path toward the things you want. The process of making a life plan starts with creating a document to record your thoughts and ideas either with pen […]

Personal development is a process that lasts for your entire life. It is a method of assessing your own personal qualities and skills, it also helps you to make some aims for your life, set goals and maximise your potential. Personal development helps you to […]

I encourage you to celebrate each day as a new beginning. I truly believe you can reach any goal you set for yourself by embracing one simple thing: the art of slowing down. And there’s no better way to do this than by creating rituals […]

We each have this one amazing, but brief chance to build lives we love. If we don’t deeply believe we deserve happiness, that we deserve abundance, and to live unrestricted, we end up living lives of mediocrity. Happiness runs deeper than money. How we spend […]

It is so easy to lose touch with ourselves, in these busy lives we lead. We can become so caught up in doing and achieving that we become disconnected from our feelings, our needs and wants our deepest desires and from what makes us happy. […]

I lived a life for many years waiting for tomorrow. Tomorrow I’ll start running. Tomorrow I’ll call that friend. Tomorrow I’ll read that book. Tomorrow I’ll tackle that room. Tomorrow I’ll speak up. Tomorrow I’ll try out for that part. Tomorrow I’ll plan that trip. […]

I’m writing this post towards the end of June, sat on the pebbled beach of St Leonards-on-Sea, listening to unusually calm waves.   View this post on Instagram   What if you learned that hidden in every single mistake you’ve ever made was actually a […]

I am super excited to share that my next book; ‘The Woman I want to Be’ will release on the 19th of October! One of the most thrilling, creatively energising, and empowering truths are that we get to choose the kind of woman we want […]

This morning I journaled on my intentions for the rest of this beautiful summer season. We’re already half-way through the Summer, and it was spent on moving house (and turning our new house into our home of course). After a busy, fast-paced 3-4 months, my […]

Most of 2019, I had a strong feeling to clean, clear out, release, let go, make space, and lighten. I felt this flowing across all areas of my life, and also within myself. I cleaned out my home, rearranged furniture, deleted old files off my […]

Today, carve out some time for you. Spend some moments in silence reflecting on your life. Journal to listen to your heart or read a book that will lift your spirit. Go for a walk; bake or cook a nourishing meal; and watch a movie […]

You don’t always have to be growing/hustling/evolving into the next best version of yourself. Sometimes it’s ok to just be. I want you to have days without a schedule to keep, hours left open for unplanned adventures. Moments of true stillness. I want you to […]

Nurturing ourselves starts with identifying our needs. Take the time to reflect on your deepest yearnings and longings. Think about where you’re feeling empty. Where is there a gaping void or a small crack? Think about what you need emotionally, mentally, physically, and spiritually. Think […]

Life, in all of its fullness, is happening right now. While our thoughts are sometimes elsewhere, beautiful opportunities and moments are being passed over and lost to the flow of time. And though we cannot possibly fully experience each leaf that falls to the ground, […]

We all have a list of priorities in our lives, some more than others. I guess the key to living a fulfilled life is to have an awareness of what truly and deeply matters to us. Like anyone else, I’ve too got a rather long […]

1. Love, Nourish and Support Yourself When you love, nourish and support yourself you allow yourself to blossom into the very best version of yourself. You can not underestimate the power of the spoken word, and the power the words that you speak about yourself […]

When we feel that hope is lost, we must remember that no emotion is ever “had” or “lost,” but merely generated or not generated based on our current thoughts, actions, and focus. Thus, we are either generating hope or we are not. If we lack […]

Perhaps you want to make a big life change, such as start a new career, relocate (like I am doing in about 2 months time from now) or start or end a relationship. You might want to make small changes within – perhaps find new […]

There’s nothing better than investing your time and energy into doing what you’re passionate about. Even if it’s just for a few hours a week, make sure you devote time to pursue the things that make you feel happy to be alive. ⠀⠀⠀ Having a […]

Some locations evoke a sense of calmness, happiness and belonging. I love the concept of a personal “happy place” — somewhere you can escape the stress and constraints of everyday life and feel completely at ease. It’s good….let me correct that, It’s essential that you have […]

If you feel like you’re drowning in too much stuff, it’s probably time to face your fears and battle the mess monster that’s raging in your home. Not only does a messy home affect your mood, but it can also affect your mental attitude towards life. […]

When you think of mindfulness, what do you picture? Is it a luxurious savasana at the end of a yoga class? An afternoon spent perched on a meditation cushion, listening to relaxing music and focusing on your breath? A moment, in the midst of a […]

When you own a business or just really love what you do, you probably find yourself working all the time – I know I do at times… I just get carried away. However, it is important to have a Work & Life Balance and have passions […]

Taking care of a whole household is a task we never underestimated. We know how time-consuming and sometimes very tiring cleaning procedures maybe, but there are simple ways to improve your techniques and the results of your cleaning activities. The key to having perfectly cleaned […]

Spring is a great time to clear the clutter from our homes and lives, but did you know you can also give your thoughts a spring clean too? Our thoughts have a huge impact on our feelings, actions and results. We tend to think that our […]

Spring cleaning is usually reserved for that deep clean your home gets once a year, or perhaps that big clear out of items you don’t need and have finally found time to throw away. What you might be surprised at is that your home isn’t […]

I have learned that living simple really isn’t simple at all – especially when I was brought up believing that the more things I had, the happier and successful I’d be.  It took some time for me to learn how to start living a simple life, slow […]

The pressure of having to keep everything together (by throwing and catching all those balls) can often just feel too much. If this sounds like you, it’s time to reassess and get your life into perspective – put your health and well-being first! It’s the […]

It’s so simple yet incredibly powerful: learn to live with intent. When you do that, you’ll rediscover every bit of happiness and beauty life has to offer. Modern-day life is much like a high-speed train. The landscape is just outside the window, but most of […]

If you had an hour today to invest in YOU how would you use it? This comes down to your relationship with time and committing to make yourself a priority too. Many people feel like there isn’t enough time in our schedule to care for […]

Self-love is a state of appreciation for oneself that grows from actions that support our physical, psychological and spiritual growth. We spend so much time doing our best work on the outside — working on our bodies, careers, relationships, cooking skills and goals. It’s just […]

Self-love is something you feel. You know when you are not loving yourself, that you feel drained and tired and out of balance. Also, feelings of anger and frustration are signalling that something is out of balance. There are many indicators for the need of […]

When making a big change in our lives, it can be easier to break it up into a few small changes to avoid overwhelm. When we decide that it’s time for big changes in our lives, it is wise to ease into them by starting […]

When the world is quiet and you’re truly alone with your mind, what do you think about? What do you hope for? Follow that! I hope you find the kind of moments that take your breath away. The kind of moments that change you. I […]

Self-Care is what fuels you. If you do not stick with your routine this will make it hard for you to reap the results. If you have not been able to stick to your routine, ritual or self-activities, try these steps. Take time to make […]

So we are now 12 days into 2020 and I am slowly, but surely getting back to ”’normal’. This has had me thinking about doing something different this year alongside my goals and visions – and that is to decide where I want to put […]

It’s the beginning of the new year, and that makes it the perfect time to start appreciating the lives that we lead, the blessings that come to us every day and most importantly start laying the foundation for this new year. One of the most […]

This year is drawing to a close and so now is the perfect time t o reflect, review, celebrate and get clear on what you want to make happen in 2020! Get your planner / notebook out, get yourself a drink and take yourself off […]

Since learning about Mindfulness, passing my Mindfulness Diploma a few years ago and practising Mindfulness in my daily life, my life has shifted tremendously. Living in mindfulness simply means living in the moment – in the now! Mindfulness helps you to calm the compulsive chatter in your head and […]

The year is quickly winding down and before we know it, we will be getting endless reminders that the New Year is here and we’ll be deep into 2020. However, we still have 5 weeks left of 2019. I’ve spent the last few days on […]

My morning ritual tends to be different every day based on how I am feeling and what I need, but more often than not, it includes journaling. I have been drawing on my journal a lot lately as a tool to begin preparing for the […]

We all wish we had just a bit more time. Just think what you could do with an extra hour or two each day: you could finally stick to an exercise routine, or spring-clean the house, or write your novel, or learn the guitar, or get […]

There are about 7 weeks left in this decade and instead of feeling that you need to race to make something happen – to end with a bang, maybe you spend that time setting the intentions and tone for your next decade. Be still. You […]

Happiness experts are saying that buying luxury goods tends to create one-upmanship behaviour and that wealth may actually interfere with people’s ability to enjoy positive emotions that come from life’s small pleasures, like eating a chocolate bar. On the flip side, investing in an event-related […]

I saw a quote on social media last year that has resonated with me ever since. This quote put into words the feelings that I had been having of late, in a way that I just could not quite do. The quote read: “Instead of […]

When you harness the power of positivity, it’s amazing the impact it has on your life. It makes every moment worth experiencing and every goal worth shooting for. By thinking positive, you just can’t help but be optimistic, even when everyone around you is miserable. […]

Sometimes what keeps us from getting what we want in life is our reluctance to change our routines and habits. I, myself am pretty guilty of that – a couple of times a year I’ll just keep going with the way things are because it’s […]

Sometimes I sit at a cafe (or my bed and dining table) journaling for hours. Yes, hours… I used to wonder why people would do that like life is so busy, “I don’t have time for that…” or do I? One day, after a coaching […]

One of the most powerful things I’ve learnt throughout my personal development journey is tuning into my true desires. Goals are great to keep you on track but once you get to understand why you want to achieve them you’ll be able to tune into […]

Self-care, aka taking a little “me” time, is one of those things you know you’re supposed to do. But when it comes to actually getting around to it, some people are more successful than others. Guilt is the biggest reason why women don’t practise self-care, […]

It’s easy to fall into a slump and feel completely uninspired. It happens to everyone. The trick is finding the techniques to get yourself out of it and to come out even better on the other side. Start by not getting down on yourself. This […]

Deep down we are all excessively self-critical, even the seemingly most confident people have a well-developed ‘inner critic’. The inner critic …is the part of each of us which nags away and is never satisfied with our performance. You can easily recognise its voice: it […]

There comes a point in your life when you decide enough is enough. You determine that you want to live a healthier lifestyle and feel better each day. This is a big step in the right direction for your wellbeing. You’re not alone in wanting […]

How much do you truly love yourself — deeply, wholly, authentically, and beyond the superficial, ego-based definition? The reason this question is fundamental (and perhaps the most important question you can ask) is without knowing the answer, you may live unconsciously from moment to moment. […]

There’s a question that every person must know: What kind of person do you want to become? You should focus on who you want to become, over what you want to have. If you do, you’ll have a much clearer idea for your future. “Our choices shape […]

We are nearly half-way through the year, which makes it the perfect time to talk about routines, planning and creating a vision for your ideal day. I am a big believer in ‘Design the Lifestyle YOU Desire‘ and ‘Living a Well-Designed Life‘ and it all […]

For many people, their level of confidence shifts depending on what’s going on around them.  In certain conditions, there is a feeling of confidence but in others, they feel discomfort – shyness, self-judgment, fear, unworthiness, or uselessness – these are all external types of confidence. What is […]

You bring your own unique set of skills and strengths to the planet, and until you discover and use these amazing abilities you will feel dissatisfied and contented. If you’re struggling to become the person you most want to be, just look deep within yourself […]

The moment during the day when you very first open your eyes and come into consciousness is a precious opportunity. It sets the tone for all that comes after it.   At this moment, your ability to create the day is at its most powerful, […]

If you’re wanting to create more balance in your life, forming healthy habits and routines are definitely the way to go. That’s why I’ve curated a list of 3 basic yet effective routines you can start practising at home today. Become a Morning Person I […]

Create your own recipe for a happy life.  Season it with love,  compassion,  and positive intentions,  and you will enjoy a lifetime of contentment and fulfilment – starting right now!  Fall in love again…with your life and your dream. Take time to appreciate the brilliance, […]

How often do you find yourself trying to please others? Do you always wonder what they think of you and does this make you anxious? Do you continually justify your actions so you can feel “one of the girls”? Wouldn’t it be great if you […]

Yes, you can have a beautiful future vision, but how do you want to feel right now, and how can you readjust your life in service of that? How can you infuse the things that you desire into your life right now? You deserve… …eye […]

One of the most exquisite pleasures in my experience has always been having time at home without a to-do list. To enjoy my sanctuary that comforts me, rejuvenates me and allows me to dream so that when I do step outside into the world I […]

We all have at times felt having negative feelings towards people who are close to us, but how do you deal with it? I struggled with this for years, I had all these feelings and emotions inside of me but didn’t have anyone I could […]

Stress is something that everyone experiences to different degrees. However, some are better at managing stress than others are. Stress management is a skill that has to be learned and takes time to develop. There isn’t a single way to de-stress, so it’s about exploring […]

I’m the last person to say that life is easy (read my story here). I don’t think that’s the case at all. But there’s one thing I’ve learned in recent years that changed everything; The way you THINK Determines the Outcome of Your Life.   […]

When it comes to my body, every moment counts. It’s why I eat healthily, keep my body hydrated, keep it moving and focus my mind on positive thoughts. My aim is to get a healthy body with a sharp mind, but there are days when […]
