In my house lately, we've been (well it's usually me!) coming up with new ways to feel better about "things". Nothing in particular, just feeling better about life, and activities, and our health and our positivity. I started following Sarah Prout very closely a few months ago. I knew of Sarah a few years ago, but …
I read this today... What exactly would happen if we got up every morning and said to ourselves, “I’m going to throw the switch and shine today,” and we didn’t give a fig of a thought to who might be threatened if we dared to be awesome? Believe it or not, many of us moderate our …
Do you have trouble sleeping at night? Or just need to relax a little more during certain parts of the day? My sleep pattern hasn't been great lately. I have found it hard to stay asleep. I can fall asleep very easily, but if I wake then I can't rest again! My husband has been …
I am a huge Apple Music or Spotify fan. And it's even better when it's on shuffle. I like the surprise! I work heaps better when I have a mix of tunes in my ears. Actually, life is better in general when music is around (I am not musical at all haha, just like to listen!). …
I've been feeling the urge for a few weeks now... and the end of the school holidays confirmed it - it's declutter time around here. The change in the weather did it for me yesterday. I pulled every single item of clothing out of my boy's bedrooms and starting culling and passing them down. It …
I went to bed last night tired and drifted off easily. Then a child woke me about 20 minutes later to tell me he couldn't sleep. Thanks for that. So of course then I couldn't get back to sleep and my mind kept wandering... I started to think stupid things... as you do. In the …
A song came on yesterday which took my back to being 19 years old. It's funny how music reminds you of places/times/people/feelings... In that flash back to being 19 years old, for a moment, I wished I was back there. I was at Uni in Canberra living with friends. They were fun days. I had …
Last week I had a day or 2 of not feeling the best... we all have them. Probably over-tired, stressed, worried, hormonal... whatever. I am pretty good at pulling myself out of these moments. I am good at positive thinking and I am big believer in thoughts become things. So if I feel bad for …
When my boys doubt themselves, this is the conversation we have... My husband's favourite saying is "back yourself." He's said it so many times... As soon as one of them says they can't, or it's too hard, my husband is quick to turn it around. He should be a motivational speaker! I hope the kids …
I did a twitter chat last night for the webinar I was part of. I wrote about it here. But here is where you can actually view the entire webinar. In the chat last night I was asked how have I kept motivated and inspired over the last 7 years? Good question! Here's a few …
"Are you listening or are you just waiting for your turn to talk?" My bestie was telling me about this quote last year. I hadn't actually heard it before... I mean, I knew it was common courtesy to listen, but the quote was ringing in my ears.... "waiting to talk?" I have probably been guilty of this. I …
Those 3 words... busy, stressed, unmotivated. Do you use those words in your daily life? Are they part of your general vocabulary? If you had to delete them from your vocabulary, could you?? I've been meaning to get this post up for a while... It was a talk by Shannan Ponton (Biggest Loser) that made …
