For quite a while now, I have been trying to live consciously. With intention and positivity. It’s not easy, and sometimes I fail miserably, but when I succeed, I feel in flow and centred. So I keep trying … everyday. So what does it mean to live consciously? Well for me, it means making active, self aware, positive and confident decisions for everything in my life. All the time. With purpose-filled intention. That includes my purchases (especially food and healthcare),…
How lovely are these statements? Reading them fills me with a feeling of peace, calm and tranquility. 🙏🏻🍃 And a dawning reality that I have much work to do to feel this way consistently. And I question whether I’ll ever achieve it. One can only strive towards it. I do, however, remember certain moments in my life where I have felt like this. This is my Harmony List – When I consistently exercise, when I regularly meditate, when I eat…
I adore this saying and Wayne Dyer. I’ve watched his movies and listened to his mesmerizing voice meditations over and over. I think I stick with him because he simplifies life for me through his insights. When I heard this quote in his movie, The Shift, (highly recommend!), I thought about how it’s so easy to get stuck in the rat race, doing the same thing, day in, day out. Not living your song. You keep doing it, deep inside…
Ever failed at something? I don’t know about you guys, but I have failed heaps of times. But I’ve also tried a lot, too. Relationships, businesses, jobs, friendships, cooking, exercise, smoking, drinking, eating healthy – these are just some of the things I’ve tried, failed at, learnt a lesson from and then tried again. We’re all not perfect, we make mistakes, but the important thing is that we give things a go and always, always look for the lesson. There…
Do you pay attention to the messages the universe sends you? Today, I learned the importance of paying attention. Otherwise, I would have missed this gem on my morning walk. It resonates with me as I previously thought wasteful thoughts that didn’t serve me. I didn’t know they were wasteful, but I did a brilliant short course a while back run by Brahma Kumaris who taught me this and so much more. Now I try to choose my thoughts wisely…
Anyone else love Eat Pray Love? It’s one of my top 5 fave flicks. 🎬 Food, spirituality and love. Italy, India and Bali. Pretty much sounds like heaven to me. 🎆 There are so many learnings every time I watch it. One of them is this quote: “Ruin is the road to transformation” Ruin sounds pretty drastic. Well, sometimes life does feel like it’s in ruins and everything has gone to shit. 💩 You’ve lost your job or you wake…
Practice gratitude. Easier said than done, hey? How can you be grateful when life throws you curve balls, when relationships are rocky, when your kids have been up all night, when your husband has man-flu, when you lose your job, when you’re down to your last $50, when you don’t feel well, when life is just tough? Gratitude is actually the thing we must do in moments like these. It’s the one thing that reminds us that someone else is…
Be the change. This quote has appeared on my affirmations list for a long time. If you haven’t watched the film Ghandi, I highly recommend it. A few years back now, on a long-haul business trip flight back to Australia from the UK, I was traveling solo and had some time to kill, so I decided to do a movie marathon. I chose the movie Ghandi to start with. It was nothing short of awe-inspiring what he was willing to…
I spent 2 hours writing Oprah’s entire speech back in December 2015 when she toured Melbourne. I lapped up every minute. And for good reason, her messages spoke truth to my heart. I will share them with you over time. We’ve all had shit happen to us in life – with some days worse than others. My previous approach was the perfected wallowing technique where I would sit on the couch, complain to friends or lie on bed and say…
This is where it all began. December 2nd 2015, Melbourne Australia. Oprah was in Melbourne for a flying visit for two nights only – the first was sold out. My bestie called the day before the final show, to say the last tickets were going on sale right now and did I want to go. Did I want to see Oprah? Of course I did. So on a whim and toiling with mother’s guilt of leaving my 4 month old…
