I made it to yoga this morning. It was good, and then bad. I had done everything right regarding eating and hydrating before class, and the standing series was pretty good. As we got towards the floor series I began to get a headache. I was practicing under the glass atrium and the brightness gave … Continue reading Day 5 – ups and downs
Tomorrow I need to be in Devon for work at 8am. This is a 4 hour drive from my house and as such I will need to stay there tonight. There is a lot I have to do before I go, and I have realised this morning that this sort of travelling gives me quite a … Continue reading Travel
A bad nights sleep does not make for a good day. I was in the fortunate position to be working from home this morning and so I was able to get on with some admin and minimise human interaction which helped! I planned to use my lunch break to do a 60 min hot yoga, and despite my … Continue reading Brutal Day 4
Just a little post to express just how vile it is to not be able to sleep. Over the last month I have gone from taking the sedatives that caused way too much sleep, to getting back to my old insomniac ways. The doctor gave me a short term Zopiclone prescription to help with the … Continue reading Sleep or no sleep more to the point
I have just realised that some of you may only be tuning back in to hear about the pom poms, so I had better mention them before I head off to bed. Sorry to keep you in suspense! I bought 2 really nice cushions for our sofa a while back. They are exquisite bright colours and I … Continue reading Pom Poms
The prospect of heading out for a run before work this morning was too much to bear. It is an understatement of epic proportions to say that I am not a morning person. When I was training for Kilimanjaro I gradually got to a point where I was working out before work in the mornings … Continue reading Terrific Day 3, with some hesitations
This evening I got back into the hot yoga studio. I was introduced to hot Bikram yoga in 2009 when I bought a 10-day pass and made it to class every day, despite living 30 miles from the studio. It wasn’t sustainable, but when I moved to London a year later my attendance became much more … Continue reading Yoga
After running 10Km yesterday I felt amazing. It was after my run that I got the idea to start my happy life project. I decided to start this blog and so I spent the whole evening setting it up and making the header. The header is made from a picture I took when kayaking in Scotland last year … Continue reading Day 2
Ok, well technically it is day 2, but let me tell you about yesterday – which was day 1. Day 1. The 1st January 2017. I’ve had a cold for about a month. I had to cancel my plans for NYE as I was just feeling low and full of cold and tired. Maybe dragging myself … Continue reading Day 1
2016 was rubbish, for lots of reasons, but mainly because I allowed it to be. Yes, there were terrible things happening in the world and a lot of death and sadness as a whole. Most of these things I could not change or influence, but the things I could change about myself and my life, I just didn’t. I … Continue reading Goodbye 2016
