HAPPY HOME RHYTHMS

Happy Sunday! How has your week been?

Something that has made a difference in our family is creating happy home rhythms. I feel we are conditioned in our family life to push through, work ourselves into the ground, fight for what we want or make do with the 'daily grind'!

However, let's create rhythms that contribute to balance, ease, peace and vitality in our homes! We signed up to have fun on the planet and enjoy our life so let's do it now!! 💨💫💛🎆🎉✨

Here are a few examples of rhythms we have in our home:

• My husband goes to the beach 3 mornings a week, where he enjoys a spiritual practice of Qi Gong, meditation, affirmations and time to contemplate.

• A rhythm that we have with our son (4yrs) which is inspired by the Steiner School philosophy is where you have the 'in breath' (connection time) and 'out breath' (independent free play time). So we follow a rhythm of in breath, out breath, in breath and out breath throughout the day.

• I love my yoga practice 4 times a week and go to the beach at least 3 times a week to relax and swim!

Choose one of the rhythms (or come up with your own) below to add or change in your daily life, with the purpose of creating more joy in your week.

• Food / cooking

• Exercise

• Relaxation

• Nature

• Reading

• Making love

• Work

• Children's routines

• Friend time

Remember, that if you can internally create a rhythm that flows and contributes to ease in your home, then your external world will reflect that. Everything can easily find you - money, friends, inspiration, love, without you having to push 💨💨

EASE WITH FOOD

Happy Sunday! How has your week been?

This week it's all about the food! Why explore food? Because when food is simple, easy and taken care of, there is more time for play, creativity, connection and relaxation! 💞☮

I don't know if you're anything like me, but food used to take up a lot of head space... I think I've done food in every possible way! I've been a 'fly by the seat of my pants' kind of gal, eat out all of the time, wing it, Sunday markets, had food delivered weekly and asked my husband to cook all our food!

I used to say to my body, 'Come on body, show me how to connect with my inner food goddess - she's gotta be in there somewhere!'

Finally, my inner food goddess revealed herself! It only took her a few years but awesome that she's here now! 😂 What I'm sharing with you are simple suggestions, but always trust what works for you and your family situation!

Six Food Tips:

1. Plan your meals for each night of the week, so you know what ingredients to buy. This way you only need to shop once a week.

2. Double the recipe or create larger servings so you can freeze lots of extra meals!

3. Allocate a day/half a day to cooking so food is all organised for meals and lunches.

4. Include easy recipes that require little time to put together eg Acai bowl, yoghurt and fruit, roast vegies etc

5. Eat out once a fortnight - enjoy having a chef cook for you!

6. No cooking on weekends - the leftovers are for the weekend!

Please know that you are so welcome to email me back if you have any questions or if there is anything I can help you with. 💚 Here's to creating Emotionally Happy Homes® from the inside out. 💕

Have a wonderful week ahead! 😘😘

Sending you all so much love,

Kirsten

FREEDOM IN FAMILY

Joy is in freedom!! I believe every soul desires freedom! I believe every soul CAN create freedom! I have tried to fit myself into boxes so many times. I've played small so I could fit into so many different roles!! I've tried to fit into what I thought a mother should do/be, I've tried to fit into the role of a diligent daughter and I've tried to be a domestic goddess (this one I've struggled the most with)!! However, if I'm really owning who I am and stepping out of the box, I love freedom!! My greatest excitement is to feel really free so that I can create!! I honestly don't love cooking, house chores or spending every day at home!! This passionate, free thinking woman LOVES her independence!! So who authentically are you?? What boxes do you need to step out of?? What roles do you need to let go of?? What a blessing to live in 2016 and to have a choice!! Sending you so much love and joy xx
