THE MORNING GRIND..

GOOD MORNING! The morning grind..you with me. Mornings can be a a absolute discontentment. You feel like that sometimes? But you wanna know something, it doesn't want to be. But it is up to us to make the change and turn it around. Is it easy, NOT ALL ALL. But with putting daily practices into place we can change it and wake up every day feeling ready to accomplish our goals. I'm going to let you in  on my daily practices and thoughts for you to try and see what happens. Sound good? Let's do it.

WAKE WITH A POSITIVE AFFIRMATION. 
This is a must! I Wake up every morning and say something positive about the day, WHAT YOU WILL ACHIEVE. By doing this you are holding yourself accountable and giving yourself some love... You deserve it! Never forget that.  When I have a good foundation for the day my motivation and confidence feel alive and on fire! which is a good thing right? Positive affirmations reinforce my mindset to a healthy and productive place that will serve me better.

THE MORNING CUPPA..
For me this is sacred time. Time to just enjoy the fresh start to a day with my cuppa, take a deep breath and and start the day with  a clear mind. Being a busy Mum the day's are long and and well BUSY. So this time I craft out every morning gives me a chance to gather our thoughts and just relax. it's so important to start the day calm and relaxed. There are times when life is so stressful and there is so much happening at once. It can be dang overwhelming. Allow this time for yourself before the daily grind starts. Your mind and body will thank you for it. Trust me on this one...

GET SOME FRESH AIR.
This is a part of my morning that I look forward to. Being a Muma I'm up early before the sun. So when the sun rises I like to go outside and just breath in some fresh air. That time of morning is so new and exciting. I actually feel excited about achieving my goals that day. Working towards my dream. It only takes just a couple of minutes to stand outside and just smell the fresh air.

STRETCH THE BODY..
I take this time every morning to just stand and stretch.Raising my hands in the air and stretch from side to side . Another one is making circles to stretch the neck warming the muscles and the mind ready for the day. A lot of our tension is stored in our neck. Doing this exercise twice a day helps keep stress and tension art bay. We all feel stress and tension in our life were only humans right? '

So if your looking for ways to start the MORNING GRIND right. Try my morning practices and I would love to hear from you how you went. I know they will help you too. We are in charge of our own happiness, we do have a choice. Always chose what will make you feel happy and excited to wake up every day.

I think we all have places we would love to see that have some special; meaning to us. Are you ready to go on a Deluxe holiday with me...LET'S GO! 

GAIA RETREAT AND SPA.
Gaia hold a special place on my heart. It was co founded by my childhood idol Olivia Newton-John. This is truly tranquility and healing at it's best. Situated in the breathtaking Hinterland of Byron Bay, which is famously known as The Healing Heartland of Australia. This retreat is the place to go for spiritual and physical healing, the place where YOU COME FIRST. They have such a wide range of packages tailored to suit, you can chose a range of specialized holistic spa treatment to suit your needs. Definitely my tick of approval as top of the list.

BLUE MOUNTAINS.
I have seen so many beautiful photos of the rugged and dramatic scenery. The wide open air space and picturesque colors have drawn me in to add this to my bucket list. With also the most amazing accommodation choices. I put Blue Mountains on my Bucket list because of the sense of  calm and natural beauty. I guess my vision of a perfect holiday is getting rest and relaxation, and experiencing peace and quiet. It was really an easy decision to add Blue Mountains to my bucket list.

HAWAII.
What can I say, I'm a BEACH GIRL. I love the sand and the ocean, the smell of the fresh air and the sound of the waves rolling in. The island of MAUI is on my bucket list to stay at The Kutcher Condo located in Kihei owned by Drew and Jenna Kutcher. Jenna is an amazing entrepreneur and incredible source of inspiration to women. This tranquil space is perfect for a quiet family getaway to make everlasting memories. Maui, Kihei is on the top of my bucket list.

LAS ANGELES.
I am a country girl, but oh I do love the bright lights and movement of the city. LA has been on my bucket list since I was about 13 years old! The definite places are Hollywood, the Beaches without a doubt and last but no least Beverly Hills. I really want to experience the culture of living in a place like that. Ever since I was a little girls I've dreamed about seeing what the Hollywood life is like in LA.  The GLITZ AND GLAMOUR... So LA was a certain YES on my bucket list.

Well there you have it. My bucket list of places to see. I cant wait to tick them off one by one. How about you, do you have a bucket list? I would love to hear some of the places on your bucket list comment below and share your bucket list. Let's go on that deluxe holiday together.
