Reclaiming Your Weekend
You’ve got to love the weekend right? I know I do! During my childhood years, weekends used to be something special, they used to be sacred. Weekends actually used to be weekends – pure joy. Then it all got ‘lost’ in the grown-up world. So this year I am on a mission to bring back my …
The importance of an evening ritual
At the end of the day, as the sweet, dark stillness of night beckons us to lay down our bones and rest, we find ourselves at a clear transition point: Behind us lies the previous day and all that has come before; ahead of us, dawn heralds the unfolding of all that is yet to …
The importance of taking a Healthy Break
I recently read an article; ‘To Make the Weekend Last Longer, Try Something New’ which inspired me to write this post; ‘Taking a Healthy Break’. The majority of us wait for the weekend to come so we can slow down, relax, spend quality time with family and friends and so on – BUT… How about we …

Remembering and living in the moment
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.

How to create a Journaling Practice
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, amid a crisis, spent centring yourself and watching your thoughts float by like clouds? Yes. …
Now is the time to be the best version of yourself
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.
