Tuesday Inspiration

When it comes to being happy, simplicity is the key.

Wishing you a simply inspirational Tuesday,

Tuesday Inspiration

Ah the little things in life... a good book, a glass of wine, an extra hour's sleep. How often do we really stop to appreciate life's little pleasures? 


When we overload our lives with frenetic activity, we make it very difficult to enjoy the everyday moments that should be making us happy - we choose the TV over the book, we choose a bottle of wine over a glass and we wring every last minute out of our day, often at the expense of a good night's sleep.


It may not seem important at the time, but a good life is made up of small, precious moments - so today, why not spend an hour with a friend catching up, or browsing through your favourite bookstore. Maybe you've been meaning to catch that one film for ages, or maybe you haven't told your partner how much you love them lately. Whatever those small things are, make time for them today, tomorrow and every day after that and then maybe one day you'll look back and realise that you took care of the big things, even if they seemed like they were only little at the time!


Wishing you an inspirational Tuesday,

Why Tuesday? The way I figure it, Tuesday is the day when we’re no longer bathing in the afterglow of last weekend but next weekend still feels too far away! “Tuesday Inspiration” is anything that helps to chase away the midweek blues... 

If you haven't already guessed, I'm a big fan of literary and philosophical quotes! This quote actually reminds me a lot of something my Mum always says (they always say the best things, don't they?). According to her, it's not what happens to you in life that matters, but how you choose to deal with what happens to you.

Sometimes in my classes, I ask my students to concentrate not on finding happiness, love or strength externally, but to go deep within themselves to find it. In doing this, it is possible to understand that everything we need to achieve our full potential is already inside us and that the real challenge lies in overcoming the barriers of fear and attachment that hold us back.

Wishing you an inspirational Tuesday,

There really isn't much else to say about this quote, except that you should read it carefully. Reflect honestly on whether or not you live your life this way and if not... well it says it right there - quit your job, open your heart, share your passions, lose yourself, stop looking and start living in the moment - when you relax and go with the flow, life's infinite possibilities open up before you, so what are you waiting for? It's your life!


Wishing you an extra-inspirational Tuesday,

(Delayed) Tuesday Inspiration

Dear readers, sorry for the delay in my "Tuesday Inspiration" post, but I'm operating on the proviso that it's better late than never this week!

This week's quote comes from the great peace-maker, Mohandas Gandhi.

Today's Tuesday Inspiration comes from the mystical Sufi poet, Rumi.

When I left for my long-awaited gap year in France at the tender age of 20, one of my very best and most precious friends gave me a card with this quote written on the front. I memorised this quote and have carried it with me ever since. Whenever I feel lost or uncertain it is this simple little semtiment that inspires me to carry on!

Early Mornings

These photos were taken one morning during my beautiful Sunrise class at Bondi Beach.

For me, early morning is the best time of day. Starting the morning with a lovely chai, healthy breakfast and some light exercise in the fresh air is a guaranteed recipe for a successful and productive day!
