Health Extravaganza

Health is one of my top values, although I often live in disharmony with this. (Pizza, are you listening?? I am not playing anymore!) I have been juicing amazing juices for over 2 years now every morning and would like to see more of this type of health in every part of my diet. 

• I am sharing the healthy recipes I find for you to keep
• I am also going to be creating many new recipes over the coming months. 
• Juice recipes will be posted here too.
• I will be photo-journaling the process of switching to a cleaner, greener diet. 

If any of you are wanting inspiration to to eat healthier, find new and interesting foods to try, then this is the place to be. Come on the journey with me and let's see what happens! 

Would love any feedback you have from sampling the amazing foods we are going to be eating! 

Now it's time to take the health to all areas of the eating spectrum. Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner and everything in between. And also I am curious about healthy eating outside of the home. 

Bon Apetite! 

Waiting for what?

Today is the day to do the things you want! 
Today, not tomorrow. We save, we wait, do we enjoy? 
Is everything OK?
Can you change something that is not ideal?
What are you tolerating?
What would make it ideal? 
What are you going to do to make it ideal?
It is up to you! 

How we must appreciate the little things...

We build our lives and bring things into it that we want. We build amazing friendships. We get comfortable in our jobs and our relationships. We get happy and busy with life and all it's joys, we have fun, we rest, we do it over and over. There are so many beautiful things in our full and busy lives. 
When was the last time we looked around and appreciated all the great things we have? 
Do we appreciate the opportunities? Our good health? Our family and friends? Do we appreciate that someone loves us? Are we taking for granted all the amazing things we have going on? 

The little things in our life are so important. Smiles, laughter, gestures, love, friendship, happiness. Sometimes these things go missing, for a little while or forever. We think about how great it was that we ever had it at all. Make the most of everything great in your life by letting those around you know how much you appreciate them. 

This year, let's all appreciate our gifts, ourselves, each other, the tiny moments that are given to us that make life richer. 

Pay attention to all you have now, steep yourself in it, drink it in, notice it and listen. 

How beautiful is our life.

Looking around at my life right now, I notice it is filled with the most interesting, generous people, who help and guide me on my travels. I have the most amazing friends. I see love in its purest form, raw, unwavering and kind. I see smiling faces and hands outstretched for me. This is so real, it's happening right now, I appreciate it. 

What do you appreciate? 


“Appreciation is a wonderful thing. It makes what is excellent in others belong to us as well.” 
- Voltaire.

“When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive- to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love-then make that day count!” - Steve Maraboli

Focus, focus.

It's time for an end of 2012 clean-out to make room for 2013! 

So much has happened, so much was fit into a single year, wasn't it? What did you accomplish this year? Write all these triumphs down, be proud of them and acknowledge yourself for your successes. Write a list of everything amazing that happened, goals you achieved and things you crossed off your 'life to-do list'.

Now get a blank sheet of paper and begin writing your future successes for the coming year. 
A great way to help you think about what you want to achieve is to close your eyes and think forward to this time next year and visualise what you will be crossing off your to-do/success list. You may even find your goals may be a little different than you predicted because this year was so successful, you may need to find some much bigger goals to go after. Good!

Get ready for a new year with new possibilities. 

Focus and write down as many goals as you would like to achieve in one year. Keep writing until everything is down on paper, no matter how big or seemingly unrealistic at the moment. Your unconscious mind will absorb your wishes and get to work. Just like when you hear a new song you love and then find out all about it, who wrote it, who sings it etc. and suddenly you hear it everywhere, in shops, at the airport, on TV, in the gym. Because you were so focused on it, your unconscious mind sought it out for you when otherwise you wouldn't have noticed the song playing at all. That's how your unconscious mind works. This is why when you focus on negative things, or use self-depreciating talk, often times it comes true. 

The unconscious mind's rules: Your mind seeks out what it is told to and hasn't got a filter for sarcasm. Everything is true as far as the unconscious mind is concerned, so watch out! It also finds it impossible to recognise 'don't' - for example, if you say "don't drop the tray, don't drop the tray!" your mind hears, 'drop the tray' and suddenly you get very wobbly and drop it. It isn't your minds fault, it is simply responding to your orders. Another example - "Don't think of a blue car." 

When you are aware of these two rules, when using your unconscious mind, then your mind will be your best tool in seeking out what you want. Think of all the goals you want to achieve. Think of them daily. Successful people visualise their goals all the time. They even know what it will sound like when they get to their goal, what getting that goal will feel like, what they will be seeing when they get it. 

When you are crystal clear on the outcome then your goals just keep getting realised because the unconscious mind knows what it is seeking out for you.

So get a good picture of what it is you want, keep writing your list until everything is down on paper. Then type it out neatly. Print it out and put it somewhere you will see it everyday. Soon you will start noticing things you never noticed before, that are suddenly very relevant to your goals.

The Joy of Looking Forward

Source: Uploaded by user via Michelle on Pinterest

For me, it's that time of year when I start to breathe out after a busy year and begin to make out the blurry edges of my impending holiday. I love the space between now and the following weeks, it takes on a feeling of expectation & dreaminess, wondering what will happen on this long-awaited holiday, what will change, where we will wander, how much I'll love it and tell everyone afterwards that I am definately buying a house there. 
(Every single country I have been to on holiday, I end up wanting to live there within about 2 weeks.)

Something to look forward to is one of my favourite things. Images of meandering holiday adventures creep into my work-day thoughts and a faint smile appears on my face. 

Then....I love the night before, when sleep isn't an option. Except maybe finally after midnight, 1am. 

And then the day arrives! Ah, joy!  I relax my weary self and re-awaken in a new place, to become a new person, if only for a little while. 

Here's to the joy of looking forward, while also enjoying your present. It's an intriguing balancing act. 

Here's to you and having your something special to look forward to...

12 Tips for Getting Things Done

I thought i'd share with you my tips for getting things done. This year I have achieved far more than I ever thought possible, thanks to my perseverance, self-belief, amazing supporters and family. I have checked things off my 'goal' list ahead of time and it feels amazing, knowing that 2013 is fresh and clean! 

I am thinking up new and bigger goals for next year. Now the studies are done I am really excited about my upcoming holidays to New Zealand and Singapore and eventually creating lovely lifestyle products for everyone to enjoy. I will be cosy in my little studio at home, with my music on, sipping my sencha, having lovely full and purpose-filled days.

So, right now, hopefully these tips inspire you to get everything on your to do list done for 2012.   
Below is how I achieved more than I ever thought possible this year.

•  Get a 90 day goal sheet out and USE it. (email me if you want your own free copy based on the one I use) I had often looked at this but not filled it out. Once I really used it, all the things on my list kept getting done. This tool is simple and easy to use. 
• Tell people around you when you will have things completed by and make them hold you accountable. Even if you miss a 'due-date' the odds are that you will get more done than not using your support people keeping you on track.
• When completing assessments/studies/reading/writing tasks have a break every 90 minutes - stretch and do something different, walk around the block, make a cup of tea. 
• Make sure you drink lots of water/herbal tea.This keeps your mind fresh and alert.My favourites are: Green Tea, White Tea (which has lots more antioxidants than black or green tea) Sencha, ginger with lemon and Cayenne pepper - (great for lessening migraine & joint pain and is a great anti-inflammatory), peppermint, chamomile.
• Celebrate little milestones with big awareness, make sure you keep reminding yourself why you are doing this in the first place. Picture the reward at the end. Imagine how your life looks once you have achieved your goal. 
• Hang around people who have already succeeded at what you are trying to achieve and see how it has made things possible in their life. Ask them anything and everything.
• Keep your vision board up to date and keep adding to it as you go. Add images and quotes, photos, ideas and dreams to it regularly. I use Pinterest for my vision board.
• Ask people for help and advice as often as you need to or access positive people to inspire you as you go. 
• Set tiny challenges and keep going, soon the tiny steps will become a huge milestone.
  
• Watch comedy movies, listen to uplifting music to keep your spirits up while working away at your goals!   
• Give your best effort while working towards your goals, because the only person who can get it done is YOU! Give yourself the best chance at success and get plenty of rest & eat well.
• Back yourself 110% and know you have what it takes to get it done!

Believe in yourself! You’re awesome!

Source: crazysexylife.com via Ashley on Pinterest

Right now, you have a wonderful chance to accept yourself and love yourself for who you are. Everything about you is perfect and was meant to exist, as another version of awesome, another version of love. 

If you don’t believe in yourself, who will? It is up to you first and foremost to love yourself wholly and entirely. You cannot love another fully until you love yourself. This is true. If you don’t back yourself, who will? Back yourself and inspire others to do the same. 

Back yourself every single day, every single milestone, every step.

Trust that you know all the answers already. (Because you do, all you need is within you now.)

If you don’t live your dreams, whose dreams will you live? Your dreams, the ones that are personal to you and mean so much to you are the dreams you want - so go for them! Be ready to make mistakes, because this is how we learn. Love your mistakes, thank them for showing you the way, making you wise and strong. Be ready to feel a whole new kind of adrenalin, the kind that comes from setting free and flying into a new reality, the life you’ve always wanted. 

Are you making excuses? 

Do your excuses get in the way of your true potential and greatness? 

Then stop making them. Make other things in their place, like inspiring conversations with your friends, thought-provoking questions to yourself, powerful affirmations, blessings, gratitude.

Time is ticking, what are you waiting for?

Be true to yourself, always.

Would love to hear your thoughts!
