Find & do what works for you.

I've always been a firm believer in doing what works for you, what you believe in & what makes you happy. 

There are so many health critics out there releasing the 'latest and greatest' in health, wellbeing and fitness. Their ideas may provide immediate success, but does it really work for you in the long term? More often than not, the answer would be 'no'.

Which brings me to my next point.

Do i claim to have all the answers? No, nobody does...I am simply exploring things which I enjoy and part of that is sharing my journey with you!

I will be the first to admit I have followed numerous diet fads and exercising regimes in the past, did they work long term.... no way. So with that in mind, the things I blog about and post on facebook & instagram are things that make me happy and keep my health, body & wellbeing in balance. 'Take from this what you will'. Yes, my 'diet' does consist of gluten-free products, minimal dairy, fruit & alcohol... but that is because it works for me. I am in no way preaching that you follow what I do.

However, there are three rules that I think everybody should take on board...

1. Be kind to your body.

It's cliche, but true. Your body is your home & if you fill it with crap all the time, the chances are you are going to feel like crap. Eat a balanced diet, get moving & treat yourself - invest in good quality food, make up, skincare, wear workout gear that makes you feel good. It's the small things that make the big difference!

2. Everything in moderation.

There is no way I would ever advise you to avoid all treats, never have a lazy day on the couch, give up drinking... because a) it isn't realistic, and b) those things are okay when consumed/done in moderation. Living by this rule means you can be 'healthy' and have fun at the same time. Win, win.

3. Do things that make you happy, each day.

Seriously, do. There was a stage of my life where I put school, work and fitness before everything else. That right there is not healthy. Not healthy for your mind, body & wellbeing. I now try to find something each day that I enjoy whether it be a walk, baking, cooking, reading (Wow, sounding like a right nerd. Yes these are the things that make me happy), visiting friends, date nights, coffee for 1, drinking a cup of tea... you get the idea. Whatever it is that makes you happy, JUST DO IT.

Did I ramble in this blog? Probably, yes.

Do I feel passionate about doing what works for you? Definitely, yes.

Your turn - what makes you happy?
