Surely I don't have the explain the recent events surrounding the Black Lives Matter movement? If I do, then it's a movement that's been around for ages however, it's never had the traction it deserved because the world became ignorant and was in denial. 

There's never enough time to do what needs to be done is there? I always wished to have some time just to focus on getting my life sorted. All of that works-in-progress sitting in the pending file, those emails that needed a response, the tasks from work that sat uncompleted, the house that needed tidied and looked after, family and friends who wanted to communicate and everything else in-between that life threw our way. I know I'm not alone in feeling this way, it can be overwhelming especially if you hold onto past stressors. 

It eventually builds up to a point where you don't know how to fix it. You lose your sparkle. We never want you to lose your sparkle, you were made to shine. 

To fix that and to align your crown once again, the best way is to find some form of routine to ease the internal confusion. Routine and having some 'rules' gives us clarity, so when the unexpected happens we know how to get that railroad back on track. These twenty tips work on all aspects of your life. 

Hopefully, these help you on your way back to reclaiming your inner goddess.

• Never add strength to your weaknesses

• Attempt to eat what you have. Learn how to use leftovers.

• Try to work with a capsule wardrobe. You should check out the *** project,

• Save 20% of your monthly salary.

• Never go to sleep with the washing bowl full. Do your dishes.

• Swallow your pride. Admit when you are wrong. You'll sleep better for it.

• Pick your battles.

• Make time for daily meditation or devotion.

• Know yourself. What star sign, enneagram or Myers Briggs personality types are you?

• Ready regularly. Aim for one or more books per month.

• Look after your skin. Try body brushing and face yoga, to begin with.

• Make time weekly for at least one family member or friend. Make that call, send that note or meet-in-person.

• If you can't remember 'why' you fell out, let it go.

• Add more vegetarian and vegan days into your diet.

• Start a cosmic order journal. Write in it regularly.

• Set a bedtime and stick to it.

• Make your bed every morning. You'll sleep better at night.

• Quarterly decluttering will give you peace of mind. Donate what's no longer serving you to charity.

• Learn to say no. Say no without explanation at least once per week. Build up from there.

• Look at yourself in the mirror each day and say kind things out loud about yourself.

Namaste, goddess. 

Wellness and wholism are so important to me and play a huge part in my life. Sometimes I slip, things get in the way, you know how it is, but overall it's a major passion. Having had many issues with my own body and wellness and having to fight to reclaim back my health, I've spent so much time reading other blogs, studying, applying what I've learned and Youtubing.

This means I have clear favourites in the wellness category but, some of them are more versatile. I love a good wellness blogger who discusses whole wellness and not just exercise or diet. Throw in some spiritual and mental topics and I'm yours. 

Here are five of my favourite wellness bloggers - in my opinion. 


The Balanced Blonde 

This site is visually beautiful. I love when I find a blog or website that doesn't follow the trends and just focuses on what they love. That sort of style is unique and I love it! The focus is holism in general with real no-nonsense opinions and facts. Absolutely one to check out.


The Full Helping

The Full Helping focuses on lifestyle and wellness with an emphasis on plant-based nutrition and feeding health. The recipes, articles and imagery are fantastic and have been a godsend in my change over to plant-based living.  
Empowered Sustenance

Empower sustenance doesn't just focus on food and 'sustenance' it covers all aspects of what humans need to thrive. From natural skincare, keto recipes, recipes to heal and nurture the body to body positivity articles.



Eating Bird Food

Healthy living in general with a good dose of nutrition, exercise and parenting. I love this how humble and non-pretentious this blog is. It's written really well and Brittany focuses on those who also have dietary requirements instead of focusing on what she has alone. Overall a very interesting read with lots of care and attention.

 Carly Rowena 

Completely different from the others, Carly takes a focus on exercise and boot camps in general. She promotes wellness through daily workouts and nutritional balance and includes some pretty tasty looking recipes. I'd recommend eating before reading otherwise you'll feel inspired but hungry. 

What websites or blogs inspire you to create a better mind, body or spirit? I'd love to find out.

We've all felt the dizzying effects of a busy workload, financial burdens and even retrograde. Sometimes when there are so many things going wrong it's hard to figure out how to resolve them. These tips give you ideas to balance your mind, body and spirit, typically when these are being worked on and are in-balance; life is far easier. 

Mind 

• Journalling | Writing down your thoughts each day, even if it's one memorable sentence helps to de-clutter the mind and your thoughts, giving clarity. 
• Read daily | Pick a book and read daily. Even if it's simply five-pages, it all counts. 
• Stay offline | Try attempting a 24-hour shutoff. Stay offline at least one or two days a month. 
• Attempt the one-tab challenge | De-clutter your minds by closing those tabs. Working on one tab at a time 
• Set an alarm | Set yourself an alarm in the morning and wake up at that time. Yes, even at the weekends. 

Body 

• Complete the 30-day squat challenge | I completed this recently and it's empowering. The strength that you feel after even a few days is incredible. 
• Daily water | There are even apps that monitor your water intake. Ensure you are drinking enough water. 
• Intermittent fasting | Intermittent fasting allows cells to renew and gives the body a break. The ideal intermittent fasting time is twelve to sixteen hours. 
• Veggie days | Add in one day per week where you cut out meat and see how your body thanks for you it. 
• Walk daily | Make time for a daily walk. Maybe you decide to take a walk each day after dinner or go for a walk in the morning before work? Whatever works for you is best.  

Spirit 

• Set a budget | Setting a budget lightens your spirit as it gives you control. You get a clearer idea of your where you are at currently and where your future could take you. 
• Learn a new skill | Any skills. Just learn a new skill. 
• De-clutter | Pick a room and de-clutter it. Remove things that relate to bad memories, don't make you happy and serve no purpose. It's recommended that if you've not used it or taken it out within the last six-months then consider donating it to charity. 
• Volunteer | Online or offline volunteering is still volunteering. Raising money, helping the homeless, assisting in care homes or volunteering time at the local school or hospital. There are so many companies crying out for help. 
• Complete WIP's | Have multiple works-in-progress lying around? Pick one and focus on completing it. Each completion will give you a sense of achievement and allow you time to decide if it's something you've enjoyed and want to continue or move away from. 

At times of stress, it may seem like these tips are a low priority but much like the saying goes 'if you don't look after yourself then who will' mindfulness is amazing for giving clarity when there is none. 

Are there any other tips that you have found works for you?
