Learning more lessons about myself

​Each of my Yoga practises seems to bring me a new lesson! 

Contrary to belief, Yoga isn’t all about looking amazing in poses or how long you can hold a headstand for. Nope, its what you learn about yourself whilst doing it and believe me, I’m learning a heck of a lot! 

It really is magic! 

Remember… 🐴➡💫yoga💫➡🦄 But also, not every practise makes you feel amazing, some can be very draining, like today! 

Trust the journey! Its not all black & white! Believe in yourself!

Princess Olivia & Facebook memories

​Facebook memories showed me these 2 pictures yesterday! Ollie in 2012! 

My initial reaction was total sadness until a friend pointed out to me that its just Ollie’s way of reminding is she’s always with us! 

Miss her so much everyday! Still can’t quite get my head around the fact that she’s gone!

Last Bank holiday weekend before xmas

​We’ve hit that brick wall! You know the one where your putting all your effort into your task in hand, and u just get that sudden surge of, NO MORE! 

So, break time it is with this lovely boy, whilst Deb goes and gets some more pruners! 

This is one hell of a #fuglymanornaturereserve transformation! So huge that the skip is almost full! 

Desperate to take a photo to share with you all but wanna wait till we’ve finished this phase! 

This heat is making it hard for both of us to work in but we’re ploughing through, plenty of breaks & stay well lubricated! 😉 I know! I said it! Couldn’t resist 🙊😂 

Make peace with Yoga

​Yoga in the sunshine, don’t mind if I do!

My last yoga practice on Saturday was not a good one, unfortunately I was in too much pain & I just couldn’t concentrate on anything else! Tbh, I could have quite happily gathered my belongings and walked out of the class! I didn’t though & for that I’m incredibly proud of myself! 

Hoping to make peace with yoga tonight!

Body image struggles

​Sometimes you just gotta get down on your mat! 
My head, my thoughts are in a funny place at the moment, I’m doing my best to stay with my Yoga but its so hard! 
I’m having a lot of body image problems, for instance I wanted to see how I am with my downward-facing dog (Adho Mukha Shvanasana) progress, so did a video, really pleased with the left side of this picture but extremely dislike the right! (Hate is a strong word but…) And its not because I can’t straighten my legs or flatten my feet. 
I know why I’ve started feeling like this again. That’s part of the battle when you don’t know why your thoughts have changed so much after doing so well.
A bump in my road, well, more than a bump, loosing part of our family has literally took me backwards on my ‘better mind journey’ 
I’ll trust this journey for as long as I’m on it because I have never felt so determined!

Love your own life!

Stop expecting doors to open for you, not every door is automatic! If you want something, go and get it. Life is for living, right now! Stop waiting! Go and do that one thing you have always wanted to do! Love your own life!
