Healthy Lifestyle Advice

Society these days controls our idea of being 'healthy' more than we know it. Each day we scroll social media and we see influencers with these amazing toned bodies claiming they have the 'Quickest ways to loose weight'. Society has painted the picture that to have a healthy body a women has to have toned muscles and a perfect hour glass figure.For a man they must have these big biceps and predominant 6 pack. Also that this can be achieved in a matter of days.

But I believe this is simply not the case. - These bodies are not realistic - They are not sustainable.
We cannot believe that after drinking these Detox teas or eating a protein bar and doing a 5 minute Abb blast that this is going to keep us healthy in the long run. We should be adopting healthy habits that are going to last for our whole lives - Not just for the 'Summer body'.

A healthy lifestyle is for me -

Is eating a balanced diet that fuels our body - Full of nutrients and energy - Enjoying the food we are eating and not restricting ourselves - Food should be enjoyable and we should love creating strong fuel for our bodies.

It is enjoying being active - Exercising our bodies should be fun and not a chore or simply a habit- But a time in our day in which we look forward too .

It is being happy with yourself - enjoying your daily life - eating nutrious foods and keeping active -but not feeling like it is a CHORE but something you ENJOY doing.

/This will all take time - To be truely positive within yourself does not happen over night but over a period you will see a change - A happy one.

A happy mind leads to a happy heart➹

A healthy lifestyle has to be sustainable for life - not just for a quick weight loss fix which in the long run will just catch you up again. So please dont compare yourself to those online. Create your OWN healthy lifestyle. One that is natural and works for you. - No one else matters

Favourite Brunch and Coffee Spots

My absolute favourite thing to do is go for out for coffee or brunch at a cute little cafe. I love to explore all the different cafes and coffee stops near me with my friends and family or just by myself. Sitting down, having a catch up and eating some delicious food is such a good way to spend quality time (well that's what I think). Even if I'm on my own I can get some much needed work done on my laptop or just sit and take in my surroundings. Here I have complied some of my favourite places, the perfect places to go for a wee coffee or brunch and of course it's always a great photo opportunity! I am a sucker for cute presentation and I literally take photos of everything I eat, whoops.... But I honestly could not care. It makes me happy and as I've said a million times on this blog, that is all that really matters.   Little Things Cafe  instagram - littlethingscafe This cafe has the cosiest setting.

New Year Goal Setting

Its January 2020, not just a new year but a whole new decade! The time where everyone says - 'New year new me' - sets themselves big goals and has big plans for the coming year. This is great and I encourage everyone to set goals however a lot of the time, slowly but surely these resolutions and goals start to be forgotten about and we fall back into our old habits. Which can then make us feel deflated and down because we have not achieved what we waned too. Taking yourself back into that circle of unhappiness that you had worked so hard to get out of at the start of the year. So this year, 2020, still set yourself goals and make those resolutions however make them REALISTIC. Think - can I actually achieve this - can I put a plan in place that will allow me to be successful. If the answer is no then rethink you goal, make your goals smaller steps that will one day help you achieve your overall dream. Another tip is don't make too many new years resolutions as again they...
