Spring is in the air and I could not be more excited. This winter has been a tough one, in large part due to the lockdown here in the UK and the limitations it puts on our lives. With the sunshine comes hope, strengthened resilience and a smile to our faces. The birds are chirping, … Continue reading Monthly Musings: March 2021
The inspiration behind this month’s theme was taken from a quote I shared late in January on my Instagram and it really resonated with me. I kept coming back to it and thinking how to react/relate to the message in my day-to-day life. The quote centred not only on our intentions but also our attention, … Continue reading Monthly Musings: February 2021
If you can’t quite believe that the start of a brand-new year is upon us, then join the club. Perhaps it’s as we get older; time goes far more quickly, and BOOM January is here! Not that I mind at all, as each year (since 2014), January 1st marks the start of Veganuary – the month … Continue reading Monthly Musings: Veganuary 2021
This year has been difficult for quite a few of us and it’s been felt all around the globe. So it only seemed natural that for this month's theme to talk about togetherness. Being together means more than just being together in the same room, together in the same house, or even together in the … Continue reading Monthly Musings: December 2020
Each year November comes around and I am so excited to shout out about all things vegan, plant-based, eco-friendly and everything just all-round good for the planet. This year, more than ever, access to healthy food has been a major issue for some. The global pandemic has definitely made things tougher for a lot of … Continue reading Monthly Musings: November 2020
When it comes to encouraging good mental health and what to talk about, well, the possibilities are endless. And I love talking about anything and everything in the hopes of inspiring some positivity in your lives – whoever you are reading this. It is also a cathartic exercise for myself, it makes me re-evaluate and … Continue reading Monthly Musings: September 2020
For the theme of July, I wanted to explore something that touches us all, something to which we can all connect but I felt stuck and un-inspired. The same can be said for some of my work… I’ve often found it harder to think outside the box, to take a step back to re-think my … Continue reading Monthly Musings: July 2020
You don’t have to change the world today. The size of the steps you take aren’t a reflection of the size of your goal. I found this inspiring message on a social media post recently (from @wearefeelgoodclub) and it really struck me as something I’d like to explore more. At a time where there is … Continue reading Monthly Musings: June 2020
What Makes You Feel Good? Despite the overwhelming number of motivational quotes and messages that we are surrounded with every day, I struggled to find inspiration for this piece. There is too much to say yet not enough to say about one particular thing. Sending a message of hope, positivity and courage is ultimately what … Continue reading Monthly Musings: May 2020
Isolation There is little doubt that we are all living through very difficult, uncertain and unnerving times. The whole world is gripped by Coronavirus and oddly enough, the world has never felt more connected. This pandemic has crossed barriers, eradicated questions of colour, race, class or social positioning. It can affect anyone at any time, … Continue reading Monthly Musings: April 2020
The breath is pretty powerful – it continues to amaze me just how powerful it can be. Breathing is something we take for granted every moment of every day. We don’t tend to stop for a second to think about the action that is taking place every waking and sleeping moment of our lives. Our … Continue reading Monthly Musings: March 2020
If you look up the term “affirmation” you’ll find many different definitions, all with a common, basic thread that isn’t based on any magical belief or emotion. It is simply the action or process of affirming something. It is an assertion, a declaration, a statement, a proclamation. Nowadays, we hear about affirmations in the same … Continue reading Monthly Musings: February 2020
To kick start 2020 and the month of January, it only seems right that we talk about Veganuary. Going Vegan for January – adopting a plant-based diet, lifestyle and mindset for the month – is such an amazing initiative. Taking the pledge adds you to the more than half a million individuals worldwide who have … Continue reading Monthly Musings: January aka Plant Power 2020
I thought long and hard about the theme for December 2019. I wanted to capture the essence and the feeling of the month: togetherness. December is here and I can’t quite believe it! January seems like a long time ago and I guess it is… a good 11 months ago. A lot has happened at … Continue reading Monthly Musings: December 2019
Happy November and World Vegan Month, which along with Veganuary, is another amazing month to celebrate veganism. And that makes me so happy. To see people celebrating everything that is plant-based feels amazing – and knowing that each meal, each choice, each day we are making positive change is pretty remarkable. As you may know … Continue reading Monthly Musings: November 2019
Patience - we have all heard the old adage, patience is a virtue, but more often than not, when we are told that, we are not in the right place to hear it. As human beings in the 21st century, we are all focused on the doing. The action rather than the in-action, the fast-forward … Continue reading Monthly Musings: October 2019
Purpose – identifying, finding, harnessing your unique purpose. Each new month rolls around so quickly, and I cannot believe as I am sat in bed, the morning light streaming in the window that September is here. How are we already in the 9thmonth of the year, and in the part of the cycle which feels … Continue reading Monthly Musings: September 2019
Relaxation – take some time out. August is more often than not, the time for holidays, time off work and for a little self-love and TLC. Are you going away this summer? Or perhaps you’re having a staycation in your home country or having a little weekend here and there where you can totally unwind? … Continue reading Monthly Musings: August 2019
Authenticity. Stop trying to uphold the façade of being something and actually just be that something instead. The social media world we live in means that we always have an insight into someone’s life, whether that is what they ate for breakfast, the HIIT workout they did at the gym or the nicely labelled jars … Continue reading Monthly Musings: June 2019
Value Your Own Worth Knowing your worth means an awful lot more than those cute little graphics that we see on social media encouraging us to “know your value” and reminding us that “you are worthy” – which, of course, you all are. You are all worthy beings, you are all worthy of life, love … Continue reading Monthly Musings: May 2019
You will never always be motivated, so you must learn to be disciplined. Motivation is a tough one but it can also be a really easy one. Some days I wake up full of energy, excitement and determination to really smash it and get everything done. But other days I simply cannot harness that power … Continue reading Monthly Musings: April 2019
This month is all about Spring and refreshing your mindset.
It may be a cold winters day outside, but as I sit down to write this, the sun is streaming in through the windows, leaving a warm golden glow around me. My heart feels filled with light and love, so what better way to start writing about February’s inspirational theme: LOVE. It may seem a … Continue reading Monthly Musings: February 2019
