What's saving my life right now

I have abandoned my previous blogs a long time ago, and abandoned myself as well in the craziness of every day life thinking this is how it's all supposed to be.
Then a few weeks ago I stumbled into Modern Mrs Darcy. And even though I haven't taken the courage to leave a comment, she has been such an inspiration for reconnecting with my blogger-self that naturally I had to mention her in my very first entry.

I intend to follow the example of the wonderful community who shares favorite things that lift their spirits, so here goes :
  1. Waking up at 5.30 in the morning for my wellness ritual : oil pulling, yoga, hot water with ginger and lemon, and some quiet reading before the work-day starts off. I've been doing this since January and I have to say it is a total game changer : I have a lot more energy during the day, I have healthy gums (who doesn't love that ?) and most of all I don't have that feeling of waking up and jumping straight into my work clothes for another day at the office.

  2. Freesia season !!! Growing up freesias were always my birthday flowers, so my very special bond with these heavenly-scented beauties is still on. Something so uplifting and positive in their perfume, it makes me smile every time !
  3. Beautiful, miraculous, extraordinary Ashwaghanda, helping with my work-related stress levels. Almost one week in, and feeling the positive effects already. My sleep is restful again, I don't jump to conclusions so fast, and I manage to take things slow without losing efficiency. Will report back for the long run effects.
  4. Meditation : I have reconnected to my evening meditations after a few months pause and as usual, my first thought was "I was crazy to let this go !". Then my second thought kicked-in "No need to feel guilty, enjoy this moment" and so I did. For now I am following the Oprah&Deepak Chopra 21 days meditation "Expanding your Happiness", so :

    Welcome to my freesia-scented universe and Namaste !
