practice gratitude

My instagram post yesterday that sums up everything... Everyday give thanks. Everyday be grateful. For this life we have is truly amazing.

I am writing 10 things I am grateful for every single day, this exercise has helped me realise the blessings I have in my life, to be able to run, to be free, to be healthy, to be loved, to be alive. I implore you to do the same & watch the abundance of good energy infiltrate your life. Everyday I find new ways of giving out my gratitude to everything that has an impact on my day, life & being. My lists go a little something like this..

1) I am truly grateful for my run to work this morning, even though I was tired I felt great when I got to work & with a few more miles in my legs it is by far the best way to get around, running free.
2) I am so lucky for my visit from a special friend last night, who thoughtfully brought me fruit & made me feel very special, & for a beautiful evening, for that I am beyond grateful.
3)I give my eternal thanks to my job, for my career that has taken me round the world, for the fun along the way doing something that I luv & am passionate about & working with wonderful people.
4) I am giving so much gratitude to my family, for my upbringing & unconditional love & support forever, to my parents & grandparents, thank you.
5) I am amazingly blessed to be able to eat healthy food everyday to feel good & always remembering that for some on this planet it is more than they will ever know.
6) I give my gratitude to my life by the beach, the beautiful views from my apartment make me settled & serene & I am so appreciative of my home as I breathe in the sea air & listen to stunning sounds of the ocean as I go to sleep.
7) I am sincerely thankful for my freedom, to go wherever I please, to wear whatever I want, to do whatever I want to do, I have been given so much opportunity in my life.
8) I am thanking the universe for my health, for my wellness & awareness of being good to myself, my fitness is so important to me & I am increasingly grateful every day that I am fit & well.
9)I am sending out luv & gratitude to my favourite friendships, they know who they are, around the globe, always in my fondest thoughts, for the fun times & for the luv & laughs.
10) & finally today thanks for my life, for my approach to every day  to make the best of this amazing life we have, I am truly blessed beyond my wildest dreams & I promise to live out those dreams with positive thoughts & with gratitude every day.

I feel like I have found myself .. On my pinkish yoga mat a lot lately. 

Yoga was always secondary to my running, balancing the cardio yang with a spiritual bit of yin, stretching out the act of running's tightening muscles & it always complimented my training. 
But now I have found that it is more, so much more & has possibly become my true love. & it's changing my body & mindset with positive effect.
The benefits of yoga have been widely broadcast but yoga is a very personal practice & journey that whilst affecting the individual definitely differently I only have amazing experience to exhale. & inhale. & breathe. 
I'm hoping that all the asanas & stretches & meditations seriously help me in the 6 ft track ultra mega mountain marathon in 3 weeks!! With only a few long runs in my legs I'm hoping that my warrior pose has strengthened me, I'm going to run it like a warrior whatever..

hey you...

So I'm back & that's all I wanted to say after I've been away!! Ha..

I'm feeling fit & fab after running around the world in the past few weeks, lots of running, yoga & lots of stories to share, will be with you shortly..

Happy fit & healthy weekends ~ peace & luvs xox
