Cracked the recipe for a bad nights sleep:

1. Coffee ☕️
2. Run in the misty woods 🏃🏼‍♀️
3. Cold shower🚿

Loving the rainy day we're having here today- haven't seen proper rain in months. Running in the rainy woods with eucalyptus trees gives you a minty aromatherapy run 🍃😌
Now for some soup and candles (I'm really going to milk this one rainy day as back to sunshine tomorrow!)
So cosy 🎃🌧🍂

MINDFUL EATING 🧘🏼‍♀️✨
~ Moment-to-moment purposeful attention to physical hunger and satiety cues without self-judgement~

It's a super simple technique that you can start implementing today. I started using it the day I read about it in my health coaching certification and it has really changed the way I eat.

- Before eating, ask yourself if you're actually hungry- could you be stressed or bored? Will eating make you satisfied or leave you feeling physically uncomfortable, deprived or guilty?
- The mindful pause will give you space to meet emotional needs with more appropriate choices
- Portion out your food. This has changed my snacking game. Instead of grabbing a whole packet of crisps I put some in a bowl, or instead of a whole bar of chocolate I'll take a few cubes and put the rest away
- Try eating without distraction e.g avoid eating in front of the tv. When you eat on autopilot it's easy to miss satiety signals telling you to stop
- Being non-judgemental and kind to yourself during this process will help you take charge of your eating habits and improve your relationship with food
- I love that eating mindfully simplifies how you eat. No need for diets or counting calories. No guilt about eating a 'naughty' food. Instead you will feel more in tune with your body.

Good morning 🌞

Gave myself some leeway in the beginning of this move with my food choices and I ate a lot of store-bought chocolate granola for breakfast 😅🍫 Now things are settling I'm craving more nutritious food and ready to fuel my body better. A reminder that it's ok to to not always eat perfectly, listen to your body and you can continue eating 'better' whenever you feel ready. It doesn't have to be an all or nothing mindset 🌈✨🌱

Wow moving country with all your stuff, 2 toddlers and a dog is no joke 🤪 We are having the BEST adventure but it has also been an emotional roller coaster for everyone🎢
These are some affirmations that are helping me through it. They can be applied to any change big or small.

✨my life is changing and that is ok
✨I am growing
✨I am learning
✨I am embracing the differences

✨I can be excited about this
✨I can be happy about this
✨And I give myself permission to feel sad about this

✨Change is good
✨Change brings new opportunities that I haven't seen yet
✨I am deserving of happy things coming my way
✨I am on the right path

Instead of thinking about what you can't eat, think about what you can add to make your meal more colourful 🌈🌞🌱

I hope you all had a lovely Easter weekend 🐣 I love this photo and this moment was such a happy one 💛 But not the whole weekend was made of happy children collecting chocolate eggs in the garden. (Contrary to what Instagram might make you believe). There were actually some tears during our Easter egg hunt 🤪

It’s so easy to feel like you haven’t done enough during the holidays. Enough outings, enough presents, enough photos, enough ‘perfect’ days. This is your (and my) reminder that you are ENOUGH and you are the exact mum your little one/s need ❤️ It’s ok to have ‘bad’ moments mixed in with those sweet moments. The two can co-exist at the same time. We are so hard on ourselves as mums. I hope that if you’re reading this you can pat yourself on the back because you’re doing a great job mama!

As a busy mums we usually don’t have time for long self-care routines but that doesn’t mean we can’t spend a little bit of time on ourselves daily, to fill our cup. I feel like the reset button has been pressed when I take a little bit of time to myself, even just 15mins! And I’m definitely guilty of mindlessly scrolling on my phone when I could have done something more fulfilling with my time 🤍

These are a few of my favourite self-care activities for when I don’t have a lot of time. I hope this inspires you to take some time out and take-care of yourself. Would you add anything else to the list? ✨
