Put Spontaneity in Motion

Put Spontaneity in Motion

Sometimes it’s good to add a little spontaneity to your life, you know, spice it up a little and put spontaneity in motion.  Spontaneity can be a breath of fresh air into ordinary living, it can add excitement to a rather motionless day.

Be a Spontaneous Being

So next time you’re thinking to yourself, I’m a bit bored with the same old, same old, shake your life up a bit and be a spontaneous being.  Spontaneity can be fun, it can be exhilarating and positively explosive. So, I dare you my friend, put some spontaneity in motion and treasure the experience. Clarabelle

Which Career Fits?

change careers

It’s Never Too Late

It’s never too late to change direction in your career, you can change direction at any moment in your life.

If you had to change direction in your career, what direction would you go in?  What other job or business would you like to have?  Sometimes it’s really good to just think about these things because if you’re unhappy where you are, you can always change it.  You are in control of your life, you just need to really truly believe that.

Opportunities Galore

In my opinion, changing direction in your career can move you from stuck to unstuck to opportunities galore, yes, I really mean that, because I have experienced that for myself.

The thought of changing direction in your career can be quite scary but it can also feel really liberating too.  So let this thought simmer in your mind a little longer, maybe you’ll change direction and maybe you won’t but there is no harm “window shopping” if you know what I mean.

Take a look at what’s out there, you’re only looking right?

Are You Living a Fulfilled Life?

happy life

Happy Times

I want you to think about a time in your life when you were at your happiest, go on, think about it now.

  • What was happening to you in your life then?
  • What were you doing?
  • What were you thinking about?
  • Who were you with?
  • Where were you?
  • Why were you so happy?

Isn’t it such a lovely feeling to think of that right now, doesn’t it make your heart smile.

Great Strength

Great strength can be taken from these happy moments and I will tell you why.

If you can be happy like that in the past, then you can be happy like that in the future and even better still, you can be happy like that in the NOW.

Quality Experiences

Life is not made up of all the things you want to buy and then go out and buy them, that is only a short term fix.  Life is made up of quality experiences, happy experiences, happy times, family times, loving times, grateful times, precious times.  Life is for living and is not necessarily for buying unless that buying can bring you precious quality experiences for the long term.

Are You Living a Fulfilled Life?

Are you living a fulfilled life?  If your answer is “yes” then I am truly so happy for you but if it’s not, think about what you can change in your life right now to make it more fulfilling for you and for your loved ones.

A Life Worth Living

I want you to live a fulfilled life, a happy life, an exciting life, a life worth living.

Stuff the Stuff

stuff the stuff declutter

Old Stuff

I have been travelling a lot lately for work purposes and I have managed to do a lot of de-cluttering in the process, basically because I have had to.  I managed to get rid of 20 large bags of “stuff”, mainly lots of clothes, shoes, handbags, paperwork etc… that I was holding onto, but didn’t actually need or use.  I honestly can say that it felt so good to get rid of it all, I felt free from junk and “old stuff”, it was such an amazing “freedom feeling”.  I was actually annoyed at myself for not realising I had been buying so much “stuff”. “Stuff” that I didn’t really need and it really did make me think about my buying behaviours.

Stuff the Stuff

So my motto today, going forward in life is, “Stuff the Stuff”, when you actually look at it and really think about it, you don’t need all that “stuff”, I bet you don’t.

So today, I want you to have a “Stuff the Stuff” mindset and start de-cluttering, get rid of the junk, get rid of the “stuff” and I know you will feel so much better for it.

Go on, make your day today a “Stuff the Stuff” day.

Stay Committed

fully committed

100% Committed

Wherever you want to get to in your life and whatever you want to achieve, it’s imperative that you stay 100% committed to getting there.

There is no point wasting your own time and energy saying that you want to aim for a specific goal, if you are not fully in.  You have to be fully in, you have to be wholeheartedly committed, you cannot allow your dream to take second place in your life.  You’re either in, or you’re out.  Don’t do things half heartedly when it comes to getting where you really want to get to, get in there and stay 100% committed.

Why am I saying this?  Well it’s because you deserve that dream goal, you truly do deserve it, you deserve to be happy and to have everything you’ve ever wanted in life.  So that being the case, I need you to be 100% committed and stay on it.

Focus, focus, focus my friend and be passionate about moving forward in your life.

Clarabelle

Ask for Help

helping a friend

Yes, I Will Help You

Sometimes in life you just have to ask for help, whether it is from a family member, a friend, a work colleague, a boss, sometimes you’ve got to just ask and I am sure, I am absolutely sure help will be offered.

You see, people want to help other people, if they can, they usually will.  If someone came to me for help and if I could help them in some way, I surely would, I wouldn’t even think about it, I would just say, “Yes, I will help you”.

I like to help, I like helping other people.

So, if you feel you need a little help in life, just ask for it, I am sure 99% of the time the person you are asking will say yes and will help you in anyway they can.

All you have to do is ask…..so just you pluck up the courage today and ask.

Positive Petals

dark blue flower

Look at the picture of the beautiful blue flower above and for each petal that is on this flower, I want you to think of something you are grateful for.  Let’s do this together, my answers are in brackets below.

Petal 1.  I am grateful for…..(my wonderful health and wellbeing.)

Petal 2.  I am grateful for….(my determined spirit.)

Petal 3.  I am grateful for…(my positive attitude.)

Petal 4.  I am grateful for…(my amazing supportive family and friends.)

Petal 5.  I am grateful for…(my grateful heart.)

If you wish you can change it up a little, you can let each petal represent something positive that is happening in your life right now, here’s another example:

Petal 1:  I am so happy that my marathon training is going to plan and I love how my fitness levels are improving.

Petal 2:  I am so delighted that I have now committed to drinking more water throughout the day and my body and mind feels so much better for it.

Petal 3:  I feel so positive about the fact that my family and friends are all in good health.

Petal 4:  I am so happy that when my friends think of me, they call me and ask me how I am doing, it is so nice to be important in their lives.

Petal 5:  I am so happy and positive about making progress in my life in terms of my business ideas, although the challenges are still there, I am always focused on achieving a positive solution and always do.

There you have it, just you look at each petal on that beautiful flower and let each petal represent something special for you in your life right now.  I am already in a better, brighter mood just by doing this exercise with you…….I’m now ending this article with a happier heart…..I feel good.

What are your positive petals saying for you?

The Jigsaw Puzzle of Life

jigsaw puzzle of life

True Purpose

I have become very aware lately that situations and circumstances that happened in my life approximately 2-7 years ago, are now showing their true purpose.  What I mean by that is, some decisions and choices that I made back then, maybe didn’t show any real benefits at the time, however, now their benefits are so obvious and abundant to me, almost 7 years later.

Inspirational Speech

So I guess when Steve Jobs (whom we all know has now sadly passed away) made an inspirational speech to University Graduates, about not being able to connect the dots going forward but you can connect the dots looking back. (extract below)

Extract for Steve Jobs Inspirational Speech

“Again, you can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something — your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.”

I guess then, I really do know about that trusted “faith” that everything will work out, that he was talking about.  I now get it, I totally get it, I really do understand it, I absolutely connect with what he was saying there.

Putting the Pieces Together

See each of your choices and decisions in life as a piece of your life jigsaw puzzle.  As you connect each piece, sometimes it’s difficult to envision the end result, but I want you to have “faith” that each piece of your jigsaw puzzle of life, is actually exactly in the right place, at the right time……and it may take almost 7 years later to realise the connection.

Bit by bit, piece by piece, step by step, little by little, will take you to your chosen vision.

Stick in there my friend, have faith….always!!

A Colourful Life

happy colours image

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about wearing some brighter, sunnier colours – I feel it’s time to get out of the black and into those cool shades of blue, pretty pinks, sunshine yellows and energy giving oranges. This thought inspired the colourful poem below, enjoy it!!

Magical Colours

Magical colours,
Pretty tonight.
Sparkly and glittery,
Pink, yellow and white.
A vibrant soul,
A youthful touch.
Purple and reds,
Have energy, so much.
The orange of life,
With apple green hints.
Super delicious,
Refreshing as mints.
So choose a colour,
Reflect your happiness.
Wear it with a smile.
And in the way that you dress.

What’s your favourite colour to wear, what colour, when wearing it, makes you feel so good?

I have a strong pull at the moment, towards wearing the colour yellow and also bright red…..I’m looking forward to brightening up the room when I walk in wearing it.  (Smile) 🙂

From a Colourful Clarabelle today.

 

How to be a Happier Person

gratitude image

I was getting some refreshing inspiration from my Gratitude ebook – yes I do read my own books (smile)!!  Here is a quote by me, from the book, it really is so true for me:

“The practice of daily gratitude has greatly improved my mental, emotional, spiritual and physical wellbeing and I am a much happier person inside and out.”

And here’s what I would like to add to the above quote, today.

“Gratitude brings me inner peace, a sense of inner calmness, gratitude gives me an inner confidence that I am on the right path. When I am thinking grateful thoughts, I feel so rich, abundant and so blessed,  because I am……..And that my friend, is the beautiful deep power of Gratitude.”

 

Stay on the grateful side of life, Clarabelle

 

You Are Worthy

You Are Worthy

You are worthy of the greatest life, you are worthy, you deserve happiness, peace, harmony, joy, balance, love, wealth and true fulfilment in your life.

See yourself embracing the fullness of life, envision yourself as happy as can be, let your imagination take you to your dreams.

You are worthy, you are more than worthy, you, my friend, deserve the BEST.

Who Are You Thinking Of?

thinking of you

Who are you thinking of?

When you think of someone, make the call, write the letter, tell them you love them, tell them you miss them, tell them you’re thinking of them, tell them they matter, let them know how important they are to you.

When someone tells you that they miss you, doesn’t that feel so good, isn’t it nice to know that your presence and spirit is important to them, isn’t it nice to know that you make a difference to their life.

Who are you thinking of?  And more so, what are you going to do about it?

Thanking you 🙂

Saying “thank you” is so very powerful indeed. When you say thank you to another person it truly does touch their heart and it touches your own too.

I just sent a letter of thank you to my friend, it’s important for him to know how grateful I am for him being in my life, it felt so good writing it, it really did and I meant every word.

Thank you for being here and for engaging in my musings, I am so very grateful for your contribution to this blog

It’s All About Gratitude

It's All About Gratitude

There are many things that have helped me to stay grounded, mindful in the moment and to feel truly blessed for what I already have in my life.  Yes, I want to achieve my dreams and become a very successful Singer-Songwriter but it’s so important to enjoy the NOW as much as I can.  I want to enjoy and embrace each baby step of the way.

I Feel Change

Changing Ways to Happier Days.

Clarabelle's avatarClarabelle Online Magazine

I Feel Change

I feel there is change in the air and I mean fresh, purposeful, meaningful and positive change for me – I just feel it, I know it is coming, I know it and I can almost touch it!!

Where does this clear vision of change come from for me?

It comes from being on a spiritual journey, a path of natural healing, having faith and self belief, building momentum and having deep trust in the process.

How did this happen?

I made it happen, I wanted it to happen, I changed my daily habits, I changed my thinking, I worked on making me a better me, I opened my mind to a different kind of knowledge, I applied new learnings, I let my heart share its secrets and I have returned back to me, the true me that was always there but I had to find my own way of…

18 Healthy Habits Towards A Better You

personal change

Make a difference to your life, look at your daily rituals, are they supporting your dreams?

Here’s a small insight into my daily habits, the good habits, the MUSTS in my life, I know they make a difference to me, I know they will help me to get me to where I want to be:

  1. 6am wake up, sometimes earlier, I set my alarm at least an hour and a half before I start work, this is so I can listen daily to lots of positivity before I start my day.  I switch on my favourite YouTube channels and I am doing morning meditations, listening to Gratitude audios, seeking wisdom from people like Tony Robbins, Esther Hicks, Louise Hay, anything and everything on the Law of Attraction/Law of Vibration, anything and everything positive and motivational.  I love it, it really sets me up for the day, nothing negative is getting into my brain.
  2. Healthy nutritious breakfast, this maybe a healthy smoothie, or porridge oats or scrambled eggs, breakfast is a MUST for me, I need to get that metabolism going, I love the energy it gives me at the start of the day.
  3. Work through my MUSTS for today, usually prepared the night before on my iPad, MUSTS firsts then wants.
  4. Blog post time, yippee, let’s share the inspiration in my head with others….I love it.
  5. Run time, I’m training for the Edinburgh marathon so I MUST get my training run in, today my training run is 5 miles woo hoo, I love running, it makes me feel so good and I love to see how my body starts to change, how it starts to look really fit and amazing with all that training.
  6. More motivation and positivity from YouTube or a great book, as long as it’s positive I’ll have it, give me more, give me more, more, more, more
  7. Meal times for me are as healthy as possible, especially when “I’m on it” and what I mean by that is when I am really focused on improving my health and fitness, which I am now.
  8. Chat to family and friends, I work away at the moment, so I do my best to keep in touch with friends and family, everyday I do something that fulfills this for me.
  9. Write letters/cards to friends,usually I am either buying cards for people or writing cards and letters and sending them to people I know, I love doing that.
  10. Me time, personal development planning time, I love this time, at least 1-2 hours thinking and planning what I want out of my life, what I am aiming for in the future and researching into how I am going to get there – the world is my oyster, that’s what I believe and I believe that I can be, do and have anything I want in life.
  11. Coffee and chocolate, yes I know, not that healthy, I love this little treat, almost nearly everyday I will treat myself to this, I do get away with it because of all my running training, I do enjoy my coffee and chocolate fix.
  12. Focusing on changing my thinking, okay I’m not perfect and I do sometimes have doubts or negativity trying to seep into that mind of mine, so I have great strategies in place that will block/deflect that stuff.  It can be anything from listening to my favourite music, going for a walk, whatever it is, I know what I need to do and I am most definitely getting better at changing the contents of my thoughts  to thoughts that are more supportive towards me and my goals.
  13. Daydreaming, I love a little daydream or even a short nap in the afternoon, it recharges the batteries and rejuvenates my spirit.
  14. Lots of food, I eat a lot so I try my best to eat as healthy as possible, although as I said before I allows myself treats when I want them, if my body is craving for chips, then I’ll definitely have them, but not everyday, maybe once a month or something like that.
  15. Gratitude, this is such a big part of my life, in my quiet thoughtful moments throughout the day I think of all the things I am grateful for right now in my life, in that moment, I do this often, many times throughout the day…..I love doing it, I am so very grateful, I truly am.
  16. Water, well….I could definitely get a lot better at drinking more water, however I am very good at drinking herbal teas, decaf green tea is my favourite right now.
  17. I have a good skincare routine now…I have got better at this over the last few months, my favourite natural oils to use right now on my skin are pure castor oil and pure coconut oil, they have tremendous benefits and I am loving using them.
  18. I always end my day with more positivity, more positive reading or positive listening, sometimes I will watch an inspirational film or documentary, I love a happy ending, I truly do.

So the above is just some of the good habits that I have adopted for myself and gradually introduced over the last few years.  I don’t live a perfect life nor would want to but I do try my best to have daily rituals which I know help me to work towards my best ever self.  There is so much more I could do and I will get there, bit by bit, baby step by baby step…..because I know these small positive changes, through time, will make a great difference to me and my life.

What positive daily rituals/habits have you introduced into your life, that benefit you?  I’d love to hear about them, please comment below.

Where Do You Want To Be One Year From Now?

one year from now

4 Questions with Fulfilling Answers

  1. Where do you want to be one year from now?
  2. What do you want to have achieved for yourself one year from now?
  3. How are you going to make it happen?
  4. What will it feel like/be like for you when you get there?

The above questions are questions I have been asking myself lately and it is so important for me that I address them. You see if I don’t ask myself these questions I may be tempted to “drift” I may easily keep on doing what I’ve always been doing and then hey, I’ll get what I’ve always got.

So you see, you and I, if we want to change our lives for the better, if we want to challenge ourselves to a more aspiring life, a more fulfilling vision, then we must ask ourselves these 4 questions and we must take steps daily and consistently in order to get to where we want to be one year from now.

At present, you may think, one year away is quite far away, however, believe me, the time will move very fast and you must appreciate your precious time.

If you are like me and you want to live a better life then you must see these questions as “I MUST” answer, rather than “I SHOULD” answer.

I sat down last night and I wrote out the answers to these questions for myself, I visualised me being in that place that I want to be one year from now and I visualised what I will look like and what it feels like and it gave me the greatest feeling ever.

Take some quiet time today to answer these questions for yourself, that’s if you want to change, maybe you feel you don’t need to or don’t want to, maybe you are already living the life that you desire and that you are being, doing and having everything that you have ever dreamed of.  If that is you, I congratulate you, you are very blessed and I am so happy for you.

One year from now……where do you want to be?

Think about it, feel about it, do about it.

Yes You Can,

Clarabelle

A poetic question for you?  Enjoy. Love Clarabelle

How Far Will You Go?

How far will you go?
To reach your dreams.
That burning desire,
Hope bursting at the seems.
How far can you see?
Your vision turn real.
Embraced in the living,
of the happiness you feel.
How far is the journey?
Each baby step you take.
Creates a new tomorrow,
Keeps you awake.
How far will you go?
I know you’ll go far.
I know you are there.
I see how happy you are.

Just A Girl Who Got it All

Tanya Bardo Just a Girl Who Got it All

Just a Girl Who Got it All, that’s the title of the latest book I’ve been reading by Tanya Bardo and I really did like it a lot, it was a fabulous refresher of how to continously bring positivity into your life.

It is a true story of Life Coach Tanya Bardo, who turned her dreams into reality, I love inspiring true stories.

Tanya shares insights into her life, what was happening to her when her thinking was almost always negative and how she managed to turn it around to much more positive thinking everyday in her life and the positive things that came from this.

It was a fabulous reminder to me to always keep a positive mind and to visualise right now having the life you want – I love doing that and the book got me doing this again.

There is a quote in the book which I really really loved and I loved it so much that I immediately shared it with my friend who then shared it with her family, this is it below:

“God will not take you to what he cannot pull you through.”

I just loved that quote, for me truly inspiring and full of pure faith.

The book was simple to read, easy to follow and a gentle refresher on the mind to stay positive.

I love reading inspirational books.

What is your most favourite inspirational book?  I’d really love to know.

Thank you for being here,  Clarabelle.

This is Your Year

This is your year, I just feel it for you, I know great things are on their way to you, feel how good that feels, visualise yourself in that place you are aiming for, your spirit is high and you are shining like the brightest star.  You are the brightest star in the sky….remember THIS IS YOUR YEAR, go make it happen!!

Escape to the Truth

authentic you

Authenticity is beautiful, stay truthful and authentic to yourself…..always.  This poem is just about that:

Escape to the Truth

Escape to the Truth
There you’ll find.
Your magical miracle,
The spiritual kind.
No mountain of hope,
Will clear your path.
But when you get there,
Then you’ll laugh.
For beauty inside,
Paves the way.
For a new tomorrow,
And a better today.

I encourage you to welcome the quiet moments in your life, they really are special time for you, they really to calm the mind and rest the soul…..this poem was written in one of those quiet moments, enjoy.

 

A Quiet Moment

A quiet moment,
A silent thought.
Takes me to the top,
Unties the knot.
A puzzling question.
Lost in the cave.
Like surfers on the beach.
Enticing the wave.
A drifting mind,
Hides the heart.
Express your passion,
Make a start.
Creativity reveals,
The best part of you.
This is your purpose,
Make it come true.

She Writes with Spirit

happy writer of poetry

On my day off on Saturday, I put my car into the garage for its MOT test and whilst I was waiting on the results of the test I headed into the local coffee shop for a nice warm breakfast and a lovely cup of coffee.  It was snowing outside and I was all cosy sitting next to the glowing woodburner whilst drying off.  I wrote 8 poems during that time, the words just flowed out of me, it felt beautiful, it felt right.  Here is one of them for you:

She Writes with Spirit

She writes with spirit,
And passionate charm.
When her mind is free,
It releases all harm.
There is no pain,
In a purposeful thought.
An alignment of values,
Gives such a lot.
Her point is wise,
Her words inspire.
To capture all hearts,
This is her desire.
So she keeps on musing,
Whenever she can,
Like the oxygen she breathes,
Over the distance she ran.
She creates from space,
To feed her soul.
And continues this journey,
It makes her feel whole.

To dream,
To do.
To take care,
Of you.

To fly,
Like a dove.

Is real.
To have faith,
To Know.

White Space

white space poetry

The miracle of white space is so magical it can be filled with anything, anything you want it to be filled by, anything….because I believe anything is possible my friend!!  This next poem is for you:

White Space

White space,
Speaks volumes inside.
Pages of hope,
Thoughts to confide.
To fill the blank,
To listen from within.
Changes the dimension,
Trophies the win.
Cast your eye,
Over the light.
Let it bring out your star,
Delivering dreams tonight.

The Coffee in her Cup

coffee in her cup

I love sipping a cup of coffee, watching the world go by and getting lost in writing poetry, I just love it. This is is for you.

The Coffee in her Cup

The coffee in her cup,
Ignites a letter.
Full of wisdom,
Inspiring to be better.
People take part,
In her unknown song.
Like mystical wires,
To where we belong.
Does it make sense?
Maybe not now.
But when you read back,
Then you’ll now how.

Sunshine in the Rain

sunshine in the rain

Love is a beautiful thing….enjoy this poem below:

Sunshine in the Rain

No matter the distance,
No matter how far.
I will always be thinking,
How you are.
Follow your heart,
May it lead you to me.
Under the stars,
You set us free.
And as passion kisses,
The side of your cheek.
Your smiling face,
Makes me go weak.
For love has found us
It searched every door.
Giving you to me,
And me giving you more.
May our future stay strong,
Let it melt all the pain,
For our humbling hearts,
Beat like sunshine in the rain.

What if You Kept Going?

New you new now

Conversations with Victor and Walter….

Victor:  “What if she kept going?”

Walter: “Impossible”

Victor:  “I think she will keep going?”

Walter: “No way, what makes you say that?”

Victor:  “I see the determination in her eyes, I feel her motivated spirit encouraging me to move forward in life.”

Walter:  “Where?”  “I don’t see it?”

Victor:  “You see what you feel Walter, if you don’t feel it, you won’t see it”.

Walter:  “How do I feel it then?”

Victor:  “Believe it first, then you will feel it, then you see it…then you will live it for yourself.”

Walter:  “No Victor, seeing is believing, not the other way around”.

Victor:  “Well if that’s what you believe, then that’s what you will experience, try to change that thinking and see what happens.”

Walter:  “Okay Victor, I’ll give it ago”.

One week later….

Walter:  “Good morning Victor, how are you this beautiful fine day?”

Victor:  “Good morning Walter, my oh my, you sound very happy indeed.”

Walter: “Yes, Victor, I listened to your voice of wisdom and well, I changed my thinking……..I believe, I just believe.”

Victor:  “Yes Walter, I believed it in you before I seen it ….and I believe you felt my belief in you.”

Walter: “Thank you for believing in me Victor, when others believe in you, you believe in yourself.”

Victor:  “Beautifully said Walter, just beautiful, thank you for sharing your words of wisdom with me.”

Walter:  “I believe we are both wise Victor.”

Victor:  “Yes, I believe we all are Walter.”

Walter:  “Yes we all are.”

 

Love Love

Love is such a beautiful thing. Loving what you do, loving yourself, loving your family and friends, loving life, loving your partner, loving and appreciating everything you have in your life right now.

You’ve even got to love your challenging days because they help you build your inner strength muscles and shape your inner character.

Love and gratitude goes hand in hand, I am grateful for what I love and I love what I am grateful for. WOW, I love that statement, so much so I am going to repeat it, here goes, say it out loud with me:

“I am grateful for what I love and I love what I am grateful for.”

This for me is a beautiful daily prayer and inspirational affirmation that I believe aligns you to your greatest self……

Stay great, love to you always, Clarabelle

Snow Glow

I have a right “snow glow” at the moment. What’s a snow glow I hear you asking? Well, I just made the phrase up this morning as I was happily trudging through the winter snow here in the Highlands of Scotland. So my interpretation of a snow glow is having the feeling of that clean, crisp winter freshness living and breathing inside of you. It kinda feels like you’re a snowflake dancing in the wind and when I think of that thought it inspires the poem below:

Snow Glow Face

The freshest feeling,
On my snow glow face.
A wintry perspective,
A higher place.
The Highlands of Scotland,
Clear out the old,
A new way of living,
It’s precious gold.
I treasure this experience,
More everyday,
I’m living a dream,
In a magical way.

Fun, Fun, Fun

Sometimes I think I may take life a little too seriously, I think it’s because of some of the leadership and management roles I’ve had in the past…..anyway, I feel it’s time for some fun, fun, fun…..I know it’s time for some fun, fun, fun and a few belly laughs along the way. So all I need to do now is to take some action towards this…….

What’s fun for you?

Bring a little fun into your life.

Edinburgh Marathon 31 May 2015

I am now one week into my Edinburgh Marathon training and I must say, I am feeling ever so good. This will be my 4th marathon and I will use all my running experience from the previous 3 marathons to make this the best one yet.

I am adapting a basic marathon training plan and mixing it up with gym strengthening sessions, where I will focus on strengthening my core muscles, my quads and my arms. I have built up this training knowledge since completing my first marathon in 2007 and I feel I really do know what works for me and what I need to improve upon.

I will keep you posted on developments.

I know I talk a lot about doing what you love on here, and road running is something I really love doing, it makes me feel so good. Personally I like to tie my running outside with a marathon goal because it keeps me so focused and aligned with my health goals and achievements.

I’m really looking forward to this one.

What do you love doing, what makes you feel so good?

Hold onto that feel good feeling, it will help you to maintain your inner happiness and improve your general wellbeing.

Here’s to a happy, healthier you.

Love, Clarabelle

Healthy Happy You

I am a couple of weeks into having my super duper Nutri-bullet nutrient extractor and I must say I do absolutely love it. I have been trying out lots of different smoothies and green juices and I can tell that my body cells are just loving their recently upgraded nutrient boost.

Once I have tried it out for another few weeks I will then share with you my favourite smoothies and green juice recipes.

Having maximum health and wellbeing is one of my core values and life goals and I do love that healthy glowing feeling when “I’m on it”.

So I shall aim to keep you posted over the next few weeks.

Stay glowing, stay healthy, stay you.

What Question?

What question could you ask yourself today, that would really inspire you to move forward positively in your life? Really think about it…….what question do you really need to ask yourself?

This question has really got my brain working hard……what is my question for myself?…….I need more time……because I want this question to catapult my soul into the heart of the universe, I want it to reinvigorate every cell in my body…..I want my question to illuminate my passion with sheer excitement and enthusiasm…..I wonder if there is such a question? oops and that’s not my question haha).

What’s your question?

Improve You Must

You must keep on improving, that’s my spirit, that’s my goal, that kind of thinking lives and breathes inside of me. I always love to have a self-improvement goal, it keeps me focused, it keeps me enthusiastic for life and I love, I really LOVE seeing the progress, it’s the best buzz.

What’s your best buzz and why?

Excitement

What gets you really excited? You know, that amazing feeling when you just can’t wait to get it started, the “I think about it all the time” feeling and you get so happy with the thought of it. Remember that excited feeling, remember the trigger, well you must try your best to bring more of that wonderful excitement into your life. Imagine life with no excitement, no way, I don’t even want to imagine that.

What gets you really excited?
