2014 A year to Simplify

January 2, 2014 By Kat

Happy New Year! I hope you all stayed safe & well during the transition into 2014. I feel I was already living the new energy as I kept saying ‘Happy New Year’ to people during the last week of December.

As I mentioned in Tuesday’s end of year post my intention for 2014 is ‘simplicity.’ I’ve been thinking how I can implement this into my life going forward. Here are a few ideas:

Saying less will mean more. Not over talking or going into vast detail. Straight to the point, no fluff. Allow others their space to speak & I will listen.
Buying less. Assessing my needs before purchasing material objects. Do I really need this? How will buying this enrich my life & will it bring me longer term joy? I feel a need to cut back on ‘stuff’ that is not necessary. Mend & make do until it is really necessary to replace.
Enjoying & embracing the simple things. Look around me & take pleasure in nature. See the world through open & fresh eyes. Find the joy that is all around by focusing on the positive in every situation.
Be creative. How I can utilize what I already have or what is around me for pleasure, inspiration or work.
Reduce over thinking. Be in tune with my heart & allow it to guide me. When my head gets busy, stop, breath & ask within to find the answers.
Plan my week ahead, keeping it simple. What do I really need to focus on right now? What can wait till next week? What will bring me the most joy this week. Focus on the joy projects first.
Trust all is how it should be. Try not to control, dominate or fight against resistance. Acknowledge the lessons & learn from them.
Be authentic, speak, live & radiate my Soul truth. Can’t get much simpler than that!

Enjoy the opening to this new year everyone.

Desk breakfast

August 29, 2013 By Kat

Keeping variety in my breakfasts can often be tricky as I eat this meal on week days at my office job desk. It’s far too easy to bring the same easy to pack smoothie or home made banana bread. This week I decided to go back to a combo I haven’t really had for over a year.

Organic Greek yoghurt, fresh strawberries and organic granola. I’ve never been a huge fan of processed, sugar laden cereals but when some organic granola grabbed my attention on the shelf I decided to try it out. Sadly I wasn’t thinking too much when I decanted the granola into an air tight container for storage and threw the box into the recycling. Alas I have no idea what brand it was. Hopefully I will recognise it next time I shop! Sweet, crunchy, colourful & surprisingly filling without being too heavy.

Breakfast at your desk

March 21, 2013 By Kat

Breakfasting at work is the norm for me. It is actually my favourite meal as ‘breakfast’ type foods are so blooming good. I like variety too, mixing up what I have. Obviously the food I choose has to be portable and easily assembled in the office kitchen. No scrambled eggs or omelettes sadly. Recently I’m loving this combo. Hard boiled eggs from my chickens with fresh avocado spread onto freshly toasted olive sourdough. Yum! Cheap, easy, fresh and filling.

What’s your breakfast food of choice?

Bon appetite!
