MY BOOKS

 

 

I’m two weeks into my long holiday (I’ve taken a whole month off). I recently got married and my husband and I work/live in different countries so it’s really nice to be together for a chunk on time 🥰. It sounds strange saying we live apart but we see each other every week, and the time we do spend together neither of us are working, so we get to do the fun stuff. We’ve got one more week in Sweden and then we are off to Austria 👍💚 : : : : #holiday #relax #timeoff #balance #takingabreak #modernmarriage
The DIY continues on our house in Sweden. Sebastian has practically single handedly done the whole thing himself. I will dip in and help when I can. I’m not afraid to get my hands dirty (as you can see by today’s marvellous painting, good job it’s water soluble paint 👍🤷🏻‍♀️🤪). #ISpilledABitOfPaintOnME) ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨ There’s still a lot to do (everything always takes way longer than you think) but we are getting there 👍 : : : : #diy #diyhomedecor #paintingthehouse #sweden #outside
A mighty wind blew night and day It stole the oak tree's leaves away Then snapped its boughs and pulled its bark Until the oak was tired and stark 🌳 But still the oak tree held its ground While other trees fell all around The weary wind gave up and spoke. How can you still be standing Oak? 🌳 The oak tree said, I know that you Can break each branch of mine in two Carry every leaf away Shake my limbs, and make me sway 🌳 But I have roots stretched in the earth Growing stronger since my birth You'll never touch them, for you see They are the deepest part of me 🌳 Until today, I wasn't sure Of just how much I could endure But now I've found, with thanks to you I'm stronger than I ever knew 💚🌳💚🌳💚🌳💚🌳💚🌳 : : : : #nature #oaktree #oak #poem #treepoem #naturepoem #strongasoak #ilovenature #massivetree #sweden #amazing #natureamazing #amazingnature #amazingtrees

WHATS YOUR FAVOURITE WAY TO EXERCISE? I don’t think I could give you one specific answer. I love running, yoga, lifting weights, hiking . • If I’m away I’ll try new things like paddle boarding or kayaking. Or exploring a new place with an early morning run or brisk walk . • If I need new exercise inspiration, I’ll try a new group class or learn a new skill . • I’ve been consistent with exercise ever since I was a teenager (that’s a long time). I’ve competed in triathlons, got my black belt in kickboxing, done weekend courses at a circus school, I’ve had a go at Spartan races, netball and rock climbing. I never get board because I’m always mixing things up. Some exercises challenge me and others relax me . • I love exercise but there are also many things that I’ve tried that I haven’t enjoyed. But that never stops me from exploring new things . • There are so many ways to move your body, to get strong, to improve your fitness. Don’t be scared to try something new. I promise there is something out there for everyone. Exercise isn’t elitist, it’s about finding what works for you💕 : : : : : : #exercisemotivation #fitnessmotivation #inspiration #fitnessinspiration #exerciseinspiration #whatdoyoulove #trysomethingnew #keepgoing #dontgiveup
CONSISTENCY & SPONTANEITY Putting your routine on repeat boosts motivation—but spontaneity is also key. Consistency not only powers you through the day-to-day so you can reach goals but also makes tough routines automatic, so you'll stay motivated. But consistency alone gets dull. Spur-of-the-moment experiences add novelty and keep you engaged. Being able to adapt and change keeps you feeling invigorated and inspired TIPS 1. Dig deep. You have to start with a solid base of consistency before you add spontaneity to the mix. To make those healthy behaviors stick, think about the bigger picture, something that will give you the psychological push you need to follow through. Say you're trying to work out at 6 a.m. three days a week. Make a list of meaningful reasons for why you need to get going. To come up with them, consider this: How will your routine enhance your life? For instance, if spending more time with friends is important to you, a morning exercise routine can free up your evenings for get-togethers. Then when your mind starts to think of excuses, you'll have a reason ready that will help propel you forward. 2. Find your wiggle room. Once you've gotten into a groove with your routine, allow yourself to deviate from it. Otherwise, without any flexibility, the smallest disruption can feel like failure. Giving yourself some room to play increases your dedication overall, the Having a plan B for when things come up and being able to adapt is key. 3. Know when to call it. Consistency can make challenging routines almost mindless. That's a good thing, but it can also commit you to a formula you've outgrown. So enjoy the comfort of a routine, yes, but keep an eye on your results so you know when you need to make changes. Check in with yourself about once a month.Think about what progress you've made recently and what your next steps should be. If you find that the benefits you get from your routine are fading, tweak or refine it. That could mean doing something totally different (boxing instead of running) : : : : #consistency #consistancyiskey #variety #change #results #fitness #fitnesstips #healthtips #health #exercisemotivation
