Happy Thanksgiving to those of you who are celebra

Happy Thanksgiving to those of you who are celebrating! 🍁✨

While we don’t officially celebrate Thanksgiving here in Australia, I love to use it as an opportunity to reflect on what I’m particularly grateful for.

One of the things I am incredibly grateful for is YOU!! 🌟

Thank you so much for being a part of my community. 💕

It means the world that you are here listening to my message - you are helping me to achieve my vision of supporting others to be proud of themselves, live a happy life, and be brave enough to go after their dreams. And that is pretty damn amazing!! 💫

Whatever you are doing today, I hope you have the chance to think about what you are grateful for in your life and let those warm fuzzy feelings fill you up. 😍

Have a wonderful day!

Much love,
Sarah xo

What do you do each morning? Do you do something for you?

If not, it's time to include some self-care in your morning routine. It not only benefits you but it benefits everyone around you when you can show up more vibrantly in your life 🙌

Scroll through for some ideas of self-care activities you can include in your morning routine and choose 1 or 2 to include in your day!

Would you include anything else to these ideas?

Do you drag yourself through the day? You need to

Do you drag yourself through the day? You need to start including some self-care in your mornings!!

And before you tell me that you don’t have time for silly self-care, hear me out…

I’m not talking about the kind of self-care that is about bubble baths and facials (although you can include that if you want!).

I’m talking about essential self-care like making sure you’re drinking enough water 💦, eating a nutritious breakfast 🥣 and doing something for your mental wellbeing 🧘‍♀️. This is the kind of self-care that you need to do so that you can function at your best.

It doesn’t have to take up a lot of time and you don’t have to get up at 5am to fit it in (unless you want to, of course!). In fact, my favourite way to include self-care is to simply switch out or improve things that you are currently doing but that don’t serve you (aka if it doesn’t nourish you in some way how can you change that?).

Making sure you do something to look after yourself as part of your morning routine means that you are looking after your own health and, when you do that, you can show up more the way you want to in your life. 🙌

You can show up with enthusiasm instead of wondering whether you’ll make it through the day.

Plus you feel better and have more energy to care about what’s happening in the world around you (including what’s happening with your loved ones). 😍

Personally, when I started to intentionally include some self-care in my mornings, I found that it was a win-win situation for myself AND for family and others in my life.

Try it out and let me know how you go!

Hope you have a wonderful day ✨

Much love,

Here’s a sneak peek at some of the things I incl

Here’s a sneak peek at some of the things I include on my Morning Routine Menu:

🥣 A bowl of porridge (with blueberries if they’re in season) and a mug of warm water
🧍🏻‍♀️Movement - sometimes a walk, sometimes a workout… it looks different each day
📝 Journaling - I LOVE journaling as a mindfulness/mindset tool so try to get at least a few minutes in if I can
🐴 Feeding & cuddling with our horses - this is a must-do but I try to savour my time with the horses rather than thinking of it as a chore

Some other things I might do include:
🙏 Practice gratitude
😍 Listen to and/or say positive affirmations
🤩 Visualisation of what I want to achieve and the feelings that I’ll feel when I get there
🎶 Listen to upbeat music
👥 Talk with my husband (usually over breakfast)
🛏️ Make the bed
📆 Change the calendar
(Those last 2 feel like quick wins to help me start the day on a positive note)

Even though the exact things I do change from day to day, I always try to do something that will nurture me and set me up with a positive mindset for the day ahead.

Do you like to do anything particular in the morning? Let me know in the comments!

Hope you have a wonderful day ✨

Much love,
Sarah xo

Want to boost your mindset for the day ahead? Use a simple morning routine to start your day on a positive note!

While I don’t entirely believe in the saying that “How you start your morning is how your day”, I do believe that being intentional with your actions in the morning can kickstart your day on a positive note.

You don’t need to have a full-on structured morning routine that you do day-in day-out to do this.

In fact, I have a Morning Routine Menu so that I use to choose what will fit in with my schedule and feel like it will nurture me most that morning.

I like to include little actions that help me to have a positive mindset, keep me healthy (physically & mentally) and something that feels fun and puts a smile on my face.

Over the next few days, I’ll be sharing some of the things I include on my Morning Routine Menu to give you inspiration for your own mindset boosting morning routine!

If you want to get started right now, here are some quick ideas:
😍 Use positive affirmations or a mantra to help fill your head with positive thoughts
🙏 Do some gratitude journaling
🧘‍♀️ Move your body - either doing something gentle or get your heart rate pumping to get your workout done early
👩‍👧 Spending quality time with family/friends
✨ Visualise yourself having a positive day and achieving your goals

Here’s to having a fabulous day 🩷

Much love,
Sarah xo
