25.01.2022 #Timeout includes perspective, seeing things from a different angle and asking why? To make changes we have to change what we think, feel and do! It’s not easy but is so worth it once we start to see new things in our life! #timeout #change #perspective #mindfulness
25.01.2022 #TakecareTuesday Before I became a mum I was a very busy person, then I became a mum and I was an even busier person... In fact so busy that I felt I did not have time to look after myself! I realised that as mum's our capacity keeps expanding and expanding and expanding and often it's overwhelming and very challenging to prioritise ourselves when we work and care for children. I've learnt things the hard way, however my lessons have been invaluable in allowing me to recognise how much my capacity has expanded and how I will make my health and well-being a non-negotiable part of my life. That was my motivation behind @minddfulmumsqld not to be a perfect mum, but to support mum's to take care of their health and well-being. #takecareofyourself #mumshealth #mumlife #worklifebalance
25.01.2022 #Takecaretuesday Today I literally smashed open my comfort zone - now I’m safe back home for a bit of a rest before doing it again!! Expanding our comfort zone, trying new things and being brave to show up, is how we can start to self-actualise. Give it a go! Expanding your comfort zone helps you grow. Take care to learn and try new things - my first school reading was totally nerve wracking - talking to Firefighters and Politicians not so nerve wracking!! #takecare #nervousandexcited #comfortzone #selfactualisation
24.01.2022 #takecaretuesday Mum, Mum, MUM!! I love the thrill of having my name shouted at me from every room in the house like surround sound on a playback loop!!! Which is why I enjoy peace and quiet and time to myself!!! #mumslife #rest #peace #MindfulMums
24.01.2022 #SelfLoveSaturday Sharing our book about self-love with an amazing bunch of people I love today was one of the highlights of my year! Thank you to everyone that came out to support our event The Drill Hall Studio and raise funds for the Magnetic Island Koala Hospital Limited. 0428 785488
24.01.2022 #motivationmonday It’s that time of year again when we are reminded to be breast aware... we should be regularly checking and if you are not, then start right now! 2 yrs ago I had a large cyst drained in my right breast that developed while breast feeding my 2nd baby (I was 41 at the time)! A few weeks earlier I met a lady at the playground who told me she had breast cancer while breast feeding her 2nd child - it shocked me! Below is the story of our friend Taryn Claire who is a lovely woman and mother, I’m sure you will find her story insightful and inspiring! I don’t think you need anymore motivation than this to give yourself a good feel on a regular basis!
24.01.2022 #SupportiveSunday For the past 2 weeks I have literally been run off my feet. Without the support of my family and friends I could not do what I do. I’m grateful for all the support of those that believe in my purpose and are wishing me success! My legs and my wheels have covered many miles this past few weeks and I’m going to put my house back in order, take a wee rest and go again! #supportivesunday #running #outandabout #supportlocal #worklifebalance #mumslife
23.01.2022 #FeelgoodFriday 6yrs ago I set off on an adventure with my baby from London to Australia! I dressed her in Koala booties to collect her Aussie Passport before we set off! This week we had another special moment as we shared our new Koala story with our friends and family all over the world! It’s in these moments of reflection I feel truly grateful for the journey we have had and never could have imagined such a book six yrs ago! Perhaps less planning and more following our heart is the way forward! Just like The Koala who Lost his Heart #writer #mumslife #adventure #followyourheart #feelgoodfriday #heartfeltgratitude

21.01.2022 Today I chat about hazards when running, Gut Health, Emotional Health and Lymphatic Health. #guthealthforlife #emotions #lymphatic #running #food
19.01.2022 #TimeoutThursday This week has been about sharing a new book with a whole new audience in a whole new way and discovering parts of myself I did not know existed. It's coming to the end of 2020 in which I set an intention to live outside my comfort zone.... I've certainly done that... When we live outside our comfort zone we expand and grow, increase our capacity and coping mechanisms and find purpose and meaning to our life... I've never been happier than right now! #purpose #meaning #timeout #kindlebooks #supportlocaltownsville #thekoalawholosthisheart
19.01.2022 Thank you to BETTINA WARBURTON of the Townsville Bulletin for sharing this story state-wide! The book is available here: https://www.thewellnesspoet.com/book-shop

17.01.2022 #TimeoutThursday Is your life starting to look like this?!? Time out from sitting and screens is so important for overall health and wellbeing! Moving your body throughout the day is crucial to avoiding disease and improving mental and emotional health! #connectinperson #moveyourbody #timeout #wellbeing #BeActive
17.01.2022 #SelfloveSaturday Our weeks don't always go to plan - but looking back we can find those moments that bought us joy, inspiration, laughter, fun and peace.... We can bank them in our heart and notice our self-love grow. #selflove #awareness #joy #inspire #peace #mindfulmums #mumslife
17.01.2022 Something wonderful for the School Holidays!
17.01.2022 #TakeCareTuesday Today we celebrate the 3rd birthday of our smallest gift! Her big sister asked for a baby sister for Christmas... there was a lot of planning of appointments and risks involved and she was delivered at 36wks 6days - just in time for Christmas! I became a mum for the 2nd time at the age of 42 - it was not what I had planned! 1 year later my body started shutting down after years of burnout, neglect, IVF drugs, physical and emotional trauma. It was at that t...ime I decided to start taking care of myself - to stop and acknowledge all that I had been through and to find a way to become a healthy, happy mum who could work, and keep up with teenage girls well into my 60's. Almost 2 years since I decided to take care of myself - I feel fitter, happier, healthier and grateful for all that I have. I've thanked my trauma for helping me; listen to my body, grow as a person and keep my babies alive. Taking care of ourselves is not just about eating right and exercising. It's about caring for our mental and emotional health and processing our thoughts, feelings and behaviors in a healthy way that enables us to grow, be grateful and more loving to ourselves and those in our life. All children are a gift, and mumming is the hardest job in the world, but today I get to celebrate so many miracles that happened along the way to becoming a mum (not many of which were memorable for pleasurable reasons) - I often joke that I did not become a mum the "fun way!" - today we will have Fun! #fun #takecare #IVF #IVFsuccess #IVFbaby #healthymum #burnout

16.01.2022 #SupportiveSunday This article was useful to me to remember that I’m better able to support myself, and others when I practise compassion instead of focusing on outcomes and success! So many good learnings in this article! https://www.bbc.com//20210111-why-self-compassion-not-self #selfcompassion #support #kindness #learning
16.01.2022 #SelfLoveSaturday This week, two people I know have passed away due to Covid and Cancer. It's a reminder to be grateful, love yourself and always do the best you can! Choose to love not hate, care not resent and help not judge. ... #selflove #love #kindness #gratitude #compassion

13.01.2022 #MotivationMonday We are never too old to learn new things, reclaim our youth or experience childish fun! 2021 is our year to learn new things and rediscover our childhood memories! #justforfun #motivated #learnnewthings #joy
13.01.2022 #SelfloveSaturday The more I share my story, the broader my reach becomes and the more people I can help! It’s not always comfortable sharing your weaknesses or suffering but actually I have found it’s the only way to heal your mind, body and spirit!
13.01.2022 #TakecareTuesday I’m reminded today how fragile our health is and how we can be stopped in our tracks when we receive an unwelcome diagnosis. It takes a wholistic approach to foster and maintain good health and as our life is bombarded with unhealthy options, choices, stresses and toxins it’s up to us to try to minimise the effect our environment has on our health. #mindfuleating #mindfulliving #healthconscious #mindbodyspirit #takecareofyourself
13.01.2022 #TimeoutThursday Thank you for your support this week - I'm reflecting on an amazing year since launching Mindful Mums Queensland, Publishing 2 books and reorganising life around Covid & Kids to constantly find ways to manage well-being, writing and live life with wonder - not worry! Have a great Thursday! #timeout #thursday #covid #2020 #writer #mum #workingmum #mindfulmum
12.01.2022 #WellnessWednesday Well what a day for #Townsville celebrating an Origin Match in our new Stadium. It's a very exciting day for Queenslanders and many Mum's I know.. Tonight my nephew will play in the pre-game opening match and help run out the team. How exciting for a 7yr old boy... Regardless of what sport you support the good energy and vibes can be felt all over the Sunshine State today! Seeing this tent city near my home reminds me of all the tent cities built in Sou...th Africa for the FIFA World Cup in 2010. Such great memories from that time and sure to be some made in Townsville tonight. https://salten.cz//bizarre-tent-city-springs-up-in-townsv/ #townsvilleshines #sunshinestate #queensland #OriginFever #maroons #sport
12.01.2022 #FeelGoodFriday Many people battle demons each day! Today I’m grateful for those that fought battles for all of us so that I can enjoy freedom to run on this beach and face my own fears head on! #fearless #feelgood #Grateful #trinitybeach
11.01.2022 For Townsville based families - Joe Mikaele Ah-Kuoi Strive Lane - Developing Tomorrow's Leaders and I are both on the board of Queensland Youth Services and I know this will be a great workshop with lots of inspiring stories and helpful information.
10.01.2022 #MotivationMonday Now I know that some people may find this cartoon offensive but having dressed the kids, got the lunches, taken the kids to school, tidied the kitchen, hung out the washing, picked up some clothes, emptied the bins and made myself some toast I'm now sat at my desk! I'm flipping a mental switch to be in productive worker mode as opposed to mum, housekeeper mode. So this image totally relates to me even though I confess that my partner made the kids an omlet...te this morning. Regardless of the split of duties in your house it takes effort to be a functioning member of society, holding it all together and moving forward achieving your dreams. So don't be afraid of the obstacles in your way, just tackle them one at a time, breathe often and notice how much you do each day to keep your family safe and secure. #motivation #breathe #obstacles #mumslife #worklifebalance #mindfulmums See more

04.01.2022 #SelfLoveSaturday Self-love is a bit like the tides - high or low depending on the time of day, the position of the moon etc. I'm reminded this week that it's unrealistic to be on a 'high' all the time - our well-being and our mood ebbs and flows like the tide. Noticing when the tide is out and allowing the outflow of energy is crucial to cultivating awareness and better understanding ourselves. I don't need to get down when my tide is out, as I know that it's a passing ph...ase and the tide will come back in again soon, as will my energy. When my tide is out, I give myself permission to rest, reflect and recharge and just be with myself. When my tide is in, I ride the wave of energy it brings and welcome the fresh batch of opportunities presented to me, much like the gifts left behind on the beach after high tide. #energy #hightidesandgoodvibes #selflove #awareness #cultivatingflow See more
