Sometimes it’s important to just remember to b…r…e…a…t…h…e…
Firstly, start playing me.
Next, scroll down and gaze on the image below.
We rush around every day, never stopping to remember that our biggest comforter, stress reliever, life giver and connector is with us all the time. So take a moment to stop. Take a deep breath in. Imagine you are walking down this tree lined avenue. Breath out. Breath In. Smell the fresh air. Feel your shoulders drop, a gentle smile playing on your face as you reconnect to yourself.
Much better, yes? See, January isn’t so bad after all.
As the first working week of January is coming to a close, how was it for you? New Year’s resolutions are pitfalls, purely because you should resolve every single day of the year, not just one day, what you want to do, who you want to be and how you are going to get there.
New Year is a great time to review and to look at areas that you need to work on. Make new determinations as to what you are going to do, and who you are going to be in the next year. Set a programme for yourself, follow it through and you will find how much happier you are. Failure to keep to your schedule of improvement means you have paralysed your will. You have no greater enemy or friend than yourself, if you befriend yourself you will find accomplishment.
Don’t follow fashion trends, the most fashionable thing is to just be yourself. Cultivate your vision, tenacity in what you love and confidence in what you do. Listen to your heart, it knows what makes you happy; and trust your intuition, it is strong and powerful.
My motivation this year for the blog is to include more lifestyle posts, to create a broader subject topic that hopes to inspire you in any way possible and to help you to get to know me a bit better. Plus, we’ll be launching our website soon so lots of exciting things on the way. I invite you to get in touch with me with thoughts, musings, comments or anything else you’d like to share, or requests for topics you’d like me to cover. My door is always open!
I’m off to South Africa today to visit my family (my cousin had her first baby a few months ago, so exciting!) and on a buying trip. Watch out for some great suppliers coming soon…
