Week 8 #fmsphotoaday

 
 
 
16 From where I stand
After an overdue lunch catch up with friends I stopped to take in the view at World Square as it has been ages since I have been there, after working in the EY building for over 7 years was nice to come back and see the changes.
 
17 Routine
Love a cuppa? I do.  A good cup of tea is definitely a daily routine, sometimes black tea, sometimes white or green tea depending on my mood.  I do like it strong and am known to use two tea bags for one cuppa.  Irish in me you see.  This picture is of the cup I got two Christmas's ago from my lovely mother-in-law Sandra. Great present.
 
18 Bedside
Crystals, candles, angels to watch over me, to send me love, light and to give me energy on my bedside table.   My workbook from Leonie Dawson also to inspire my creative side, to push through barriers and to challenge me and a bottle of natural insect repellent from Thailand in case pesky mossies come in the window at night. 
 
19 Fresh
Fresh flowers delivered to me from my gorgeous friends after I had been through a difficult patch.  they smelt divine and were called spirit roses, perfect. They truly brightened my day with the fresh smell of roses in my house. Divine.
 
20 This is so me
Assembly Bar - Friday night drinks with Sarah and Anita.  Love this bar, great vibe, awesome cocktails and a cool bar that has candles, fresh roses and cute bartenders.  So me.
 
21 matching
Matching pillows on our love seat (which Mr Tiggy has claimed as his lounge) we have matching love pillows - pink and white.  I love that they give our backyard some colour and they were a very thoughtful gift from Drew's parents when we moved in to our new place nearly three years ago. 
 
22 Macro
Today's prompt was macro. I thought "I don't have a SLR camera, how on earth am I going to capture macro today?"!  Sunday morning I was feeling pretty chilled, cool morning as it had rained and I had made myself a yummy Nespresso and stood outside in the sunshine so glad it has come through the clouds and it really lifted my mood.  I saw the vines glistening in the sun and thought, "wonder how much zoom my Samsung phone actually has?"!  This was the result and I even blogged about it that day, click here to read. 
 
Really a gorgeous week with friends and feeling very loved and am so grateful for so many great people in my life.  This is the reason why I am doing this photo-a-day challenge because it truly makes you stop and think about your day, capturing a vision of something that you want to share and that moment you will always have will be in Instagram, my blogs and also Facebook if shared images there.   I wanted to do a little blog for my pictures to look back on and realise that even though we get caught up in the mundane day to day routine we can truly experience greatness everywhere we look, we just have to open our eyes.

Who is Dons Health, Fitness & Wellbeing?

Image
Another year older,  I realise I have come so far with my health, fitness and wellbeing beliefs. I am like a sponge, I love learning new things, reading articles and keeping my Facebook and Instagram published is something I am passionate about, doesn't matter how many people read it, I am drawn to writing posts and publishing. I was driven to start my FB and Insta pages,  to spread the healthy message out there instead of the unhealthy diet & exercise messages that you see on social media, I am passionate about the body and the mind being healthy.  Check me out   Facebook  and  Instagram . Even though I am not a trainer anymore - I still have so many training routines in my head, not to mention choreography to dance classes I have done (albeit badly)! The not giving a shit what people think is the main thing I would say to everyone - be you, be loud, be proud, dance like people ARE watching if that is your thing, never apologize for being you.  My purpose is to be a voice - to

All about breathing in, out and letting go.

  Had the most enjoyable yoga class today at Hard Candy... I try and get to Deb's class every Wednesday lunchtime because it really makes me appreciate life, and forget the shit that we hold onto and how unimportant it really all is in the big scheme of things.    An hour of stretches, breathing in a room heated to 37 degrees makes me let go of unnecessary worry and also stretches out and strengthens my tall body.   It is truly a perfect way for me to get fitter and also look after my mental state, because sometimes we can get so caught up in life, that we forget to just let go.  We hold on to far too much energy that can make us feel heavy, flat and we need to let that shit go, the conversation you had three days ago with a friend, let it go, the guy who cut you off in traffic this morning, let it go.   Life is too short to worry about crap... we need to get out of our own mind and experience other thoughts and experience instead of playing the same record in our mind

Just Start Today

  Just Start today. There is never a perfect time to start towards your goals and changing your habits.  Just Start today, here. It can take up to 21 days to change a habit, there is your first milestone to reach, let’s focus on that, just doing something different/new/changing for 21 days. How hard can that be? Time to get out of that Lockdown or winter funk - you are important, you matter and your mental and physical health is important for you and your family/friends.   So, where to start I hear you ask, choose only 1-3 goals at a time, and choose goals with a measurable timeframe - i.e. reduce screen time before bed, increase mindfulness to 15mins a day, try yoga once a week, do a walk with friends every Sunday, eat less processed foods daily, keep a gratitude journal, go for that check up before end of October etc -  start with the following 5 action steps before you just start:     1 - Awareness - Change starts with awareness - you know you need to make a change, this i
