Happy Monday! I always believe that we need motivation and inspiration but more especially on Mondays. I think too often we are our own worst enemies, we need to check that behaviour and start a process of unlearning and become our biggest cheerleaders. I then came across this quote by Ms Iyanla Vanzant. Too often we compare ourselves to the detriment of self. This is a learned behaviour starting from our parents comparing us to our friends or their friends children. Growing up we continue with this behaviour we compare ourselves to our peers often feeling like failures if we feel like we do not have what they have. This…

Start Now, With What You Have!
Hello, for our first inspire Monday of the year I want to make sure that : after the mood, excitement of “New Year, new me” has worn off we are still intentional in making our goals a reality Today’s post is about looking at all the excuses that are holding you back, doing away with them and just simply starting. You see dear reader it’s really important that we start with our goals right now, with what we have. Too often we are focused on what we do not have, waiting for things to all align, waiting for the fear to subside and we end up never starting and another year rolls…

Eat this before your next work out and be the beast at the gym
Hello! Never have the words you are what you eat rang truer than before or after a workout. What you eat can be the deciding factor between a cramp, finishing your circuit or lifting more than you’re used to. This year I want an all year body, I am not waiting for summer to have a great healthy body and if you feel the same, today’s post is right up your alley. Depending on what you eat it’s best to eat 2 hours before your workout but if it’s a snack you can take it 45 minutes before. Remember your meal has to be high in carbs as they work…

Sipping Tea : In 2019 May We Have The Confidence Of Average Men
This post was inspired by true life events…cue epic music that lets you know that things are about to go down and that your life will never be the same again. A dear friend of mine and I were having a chilled conversation, when she related the story of her male friend who had seen a pic of a cute girl off, of her phone. Said guy mentions how this is his friends type but the problem is his not the settle down type more hit it and leave thus leaving girl devastated. My friend then asks the guy why would he assume the girl would be a whole devastated?Better…

Why New Year’s resolutions are so 2018
“Cheers to a new year and another chance for us to get it right.-Oprah Winfrey” Happy New Year family hope you are still lounging around poolside with the family and are still successfully evading adulting. Perhaps you are part of the unlucky few who are back at work and getting the last minute school stuff for the children.

Some popular examples would be this year I will exercise more, I will save…

Recount all the good
Hey there! as we are nearing the end of the year, it’s becoming harder to wake up cause our bodies are ready to sleep in with no alarm clocks and our brains are tired. That’s why I think there is no better time time than now to recount all the good that has happened this year. Too often we have a bad meeting, or one chaotic hour and then we say we had a bad day, so it is with our year. We might have had one or two things not go our way and we might incorrectly say 2018 wasn’t our year. That is why it is good…

Stop being your worst critic… Telling the negative feedback to sit down
Molweni, I am a huge fan of introspection and right now I am going through a process of renewing my mind and getting rid of self –deprecating habits.This began by accepting that not only is my brain going at 200 kilometers per hour but if it were a phone it has tons of apps open not sure where the music is coming from, or which apps are draining all the energy. Have no fear since I am an adult whose clocked life (lies) I have discovered that negative feedback is such an app Let me give you an example, I will be having my meditation time and a thought…
