Hi there,
My name is Niamh (pronounced neeve) and I have a BSc in Nursing Science. I make videos on simple, natural, healthy living.
Enquiries: info@fairylandcottage.com
#simpleliving #morningroutine
My peace comes from meditating on God's Holy Word and I agree that early morning quiet time makes a positive difference.
Every day I write down my prayers and listen to his words. Without this my day is off balanced.
How do you meditate that way
Amen ❤️🌷🙌🏼🙏🏼😇
Beautiful 💞
And he shall be like a tree planted by streams of living water 🥰
Hi my name is Mari and ive been your subscriber for a few years now. it's 8 pm here in Japan and I feel peace watching your videos after a long and busy weekend with my kids. i thank you so much for your channel🧚♂️❤️
That’s such a sweet comment Mari, I hope she sees it xx
May everyone reading this have a peaceful, Fairyland Cottage-like day x
Love from southern United States.
Thanks. You too dear
💜🥰🐝
Love back to you from Alabama.
Thanks. Same to you. I’m in Alabama.
Namaste
my property keeps me fit: roofing, painting, mowing, weed-whacking, 80 foot garden, walking my dog twice a day, house cleaning, canning, cooking, flower beds - my arms and body are the strongest it have ever been, no fitness center ever gave me arms like this, nor the fresh air and barefoot grounding...sometimes the free things in life are the most beneficial...
Yes absolutely!! You live a very healthy life not only for your physical body but for your mind also Good on you ! 👍🏻🙂
Agreed!
Yes! I call it the earth gym. Free membership!
Free membership, lol. But it's true. Awesome bonus stuff, too, like fresh carrots
I'm an early riser as well. There's something calming about waking up and starting the day before this busy town gets going.
After months away caring for a sick loved one, I returned to my home late last night. Waking this morning to the sun streaming in, birdsong, and the familiar tone of a windchime I've had for years jiggling outside my window was the most comforted I've felt in many weeks. My home holds, comforts, and uplifts me like no other place. I'm experiencing a post pandemic financial realignment which means this home my not be my forever home as I had planned when I purchased it just three years ago. Knowing this makes me cherish every morning I have here all the more. Whatever happens the sun will always stream in, the birds will always start their day and mine with a song, and the melody of this favorite chime will drift through the breeze reminding me that home begins within me.
Jo, your home no matter where you land is just 4 walls. How you plant yourself there is all that matters.😘
I really hope and send my best vibes your way, so that your home regardless of where you reside is always able to make you feel safe and at home xx
I feel relaxed watching curtains sway in the breeze and clothes on the line. I feel relaxed when walking in the woods, watching clouds move across the sky and hearing the sound of water in a stream.
Used to go to the gym in my 20's then in my 40's walked 2 hrs a day now in my 50's I just walk 30 min a day it is so much more enjoyable I also might take a 10 min stroll after each meal that's the way people used to do it they used moderation and could actually enjoy the process rather than overdoing it and trying to maintain a routine that is really unmaintainable
So true moderation is key. Nowadays everyone pushes themselves but the body doesn’t always thank you for it!
Thank you! That’s inspiring.
@@Sunshine74444 yep l agree too, moderation is what we need👍👍😊😊
I agree with those moderated 30 min walks and short walks after meals. I also once spent hours in gym. I'll be 50 in july and my perspectives are changing. I love everything about you cottagefairy, blessings to all.
I love seeing your little birdie friends in your videos 🥰. Part of my morning is, I don’t use an alarm clock, I let the light wake me up, and I like the gentleness of that.
Up with the birds here to, drink water, feed goats, feed birds, feed dog, breakfast, yoga and stretching (jogging is over rated) Sunday might be a two nap day if I'm lucky 😁
Nap times are the best. I need to do them more! 😁
Your channel is a meditation in itself, I should watch an episode everyday! ❤️
Sadly they are stopping this meditation for a few months and it broke my heart.
The birds and sunrise have been waking me at 5am too. It’s great for your health. ❤️
I swear, I’ve dreamed of visiting Ireland for years. 🍀 🥰 And I’m saving my money to go there. In the meantime, your videos inspire me to dream and to appreciate nature where I am now. The aesthetic of your videos, the thumbnails, your soothing voice, and the music are something you rarely find in any other simple Living channel. Thank you so much for your dedication and for the joy you’re putting out into the world! 😊
Walking is so good for you! I find it works for me too!
I meditate in the morning too with prayer and I focus on the Lord and I find the Psalms are always a comfort.
I have been on a pancake kick myself these days!
Your pancakes look delicious!
Thank you for the Lovely video!
Love to walk/hike, ride a bike and ballet/yoga. We have been into fresh blueberries and cinnamon pancakes lately! 😊 Quiet mornings meditating on scripture and prayer help me move with purpose throughout the day. And, absolutely adore your birds! Love to you and your family 😘
I didn't think I was an exercise person. Until about 3-4 years ago. I started walking the trails/bridges near the local river in Virginia/USA. It is a very urban area and is public a hidden gem. I've lived here my entire life and didn't know all of what was down there until I started walking a half a mile down there occasionally a few times a week. Eventually worked my way up to about 8-9 miles on a regular basis. I found this initially to be more of a hobby (versus self care, etc.) until I stopped going. Then I realized how much it was impacting my mental, emotional wellbeing far beyond the physical changes. I'm still much more of a distance versus speed person. I really enjoyed this video. Thank you!
As far as exercise, I bought a dvd called “Inhale Exhale Stretch and Move” by Ann Smith on Amazon. Its quiet, classical, kind of like ballet moves, therapeutic, and only ten minutes. It’s amazing and I always feel better.
@Jane 24 y.o - check my vidéó I don’t do meditation. I don’t believe in “clearing the mind,” rather I think focusing and calming the mind is healthier, in my opinion. Just my opinion, though.
I love seeing your husband in the videos! You two are quite the pair 😊
Since I moved out of my parents house you have become a big inspiration for me. Thank you
Ah lovely to hear!
Many blessings for your new chapter in life.
@@FairylandCottage thank you very much. I hope studying illustration will not be a big mistake :)
What kind of illustration? If you combine it with something marketable, like, say, Human Anatomy, it is worth your while or better.
Exercise is vital to me, A daily flow yoga. Walking is good in many ways but doesn't help many parts- the spine, shoulders, hips etc. I set my alarm early - my yoga time keeps me feeling amazing. I am a lot older than you!
Waking up early morning really makes a difference… so peaceful and quiet environment so much positivity out there and the sounds of bird chirping fresh air creates a magic on its own… Please do a Guided Meditation 🧘♀️ would love to see what you do and how you do… would be very helpful for everyone 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 thanks and love from India 🇮🇳🙏🏻
I am definitely a morning girl...even now I get butterflies in my tummy when I wake up on the weekends, the morning sun peeking in my window extremely early, the smell of fresh coffee brewing and the excitement of seeing which of my berries are bursting to join my breakfast table ....I enjoy a freshly washed face, make up free, comfy lazy clothes, hair in a messy bun...bare feet on the warm kitchen floor boards as the sun streams in...enjoying my coffee on the deck, watching the ducks on the pond, the sun rising deliberately erasing the mornings dew...I love meditation as well, journaling, writing ....I find the mornings my best time for that...it's my mental exercise I suppose....I do however enjoy evening walks after dinner...when the shadows are longer and the sky's take on that reddish, orange glow...with promise of another glorious day ahead...watching the sail boats lazily drifting in after a day on the lake...then home, a glass of wine...watching fireflies and hoping to see a shooting star...always wishing for these moments to last longer....thank you for sharing your morning with us.
Slow living is pure peace.
I always eat buckwheat pancakes with berries and apple sauce on the weekends 😊
Yum! I love buckwheat pancakes! 😊
What a beautiful place to walk. My exercise of choice is walking and mostly hiking. It takes me to places that I love to see. Don't like the gym, it doesn't take me anywhere. Hahaha! It is currently hot in Southern California, a cold smoothie or fresh orange juice is perfect for breakfast.
I love that sunrise 💚I go to sleep at 730pm or 8pm wake up at 5am make my husband lunch for work and out in the yard at 530am until 6am watering filling bird bathes hanging out with NATURE . Then i go dwn to the beach to walk & meditate. Then Iam bk home makeing oat meal for me & cream of wheat for him .not a big exercises person no more i walk alot not at the gym running.on treadmill like in the pass . Week breakfast is usally homemade pancakes with fresh fruit. Or eggs & turkey bacon with fresh cut homefrys .Blessing to all & hopefully everyone had a gr8 weekend & has a gr8 week .😄
I know this is older, but I like to lift weights and do cardio, good music helps w weights then watching videos on the treadmill. Weights really transformed my body.
I find trail running very meditative as you need to keep your awareness on your feet as you run (cud fall if not focused and aware). I think it helps me to bring my awareness from my mind down into my body and i relax from the daily stresses. Pancakes are our favourites too at the weekend!!!!
I love the early morning talk with the Lord also,it's set you on a good path, bless you heart for sharing.
My favorite form of exercise is walking, which I do around my neighborhood. I've also started walking barefoot at parks (I live in an apartment so no yard) where I can absorb the Earth's energy. According to "The Earthing Movie," it's shown to lower inflammation in the body after 15 minutes. It also just feels good to feel the cool grass and earth beneath one's feet. My favorite breakfast is scrambled eggs with curry, thyme, paprika, salt, baby spinach, goat cheese, and sauteed garlic (optional) for added zing. Thanks for sharing your weekend morning routine too. Jenny
I really enjoyed your video. It is the nicest way to wake up listening to the birds. It's such a relaxing way to start the day. My favourite way of exercising is walking. I love to walk down country lane, woodland paths and along the sand at the edge of the sea. X
Love to be in nature, whether strolling with my grandson, walking the dog or hiking in the hills. I'm not an 'exerciser' either!
After a fungal virus wiped out a large percentage of bats in my state, they are now making a comeback. I love sitting out at dusk watching them swoop overhead, feasting on bugs that often plague us in summer. Thanks for recording them at dawn. 🦇
Same here in my state (I'm in the Northeast) , except I think it's still affecting them as I rarely see bats.
So special aren’t they!
I'd love to start getting up earlier but my husband is an incredibly light sleeper. If I get up he will too and then it's time to make the coffee. I'm an introvert and I just want some time that is all my own. It's hard to do with everyone still working from home.
I'm an earlybird too, while the rest of my household not so much. Our house is small, so I will lay in bed and do a guided 40-50min meditation each morning on my phone with earphones/plugs. That way I am doing something that is an energising start to my day, it's undistracted "me time" and my family can also get some extra sleep without hearing me up too early! 🧘♀️🌅
I go to bed early but I have never been a natural early riser. So even arising early, I’m asleep mentally even after years of doing this. I am naturally a night owl. I could be up till 3:00ish in the morning and be happier.
Yoga is so amazing and easy to do at home. I found Yoga with Adrian and absolutely love her. She’s on RUclips too, and like you, soothes the soul just with her voice. Love your channel. You calm me every time I watch you. Thanks so much.
Walking is my exercise too! I'm lucky enough that I live close to work and can walk there in about 45 minutes, so that's what I do if the weather is not too bad.
You are one of the handful of people that truly motivate me to live simply, sustainably, and in tune with nature.
Your videos are of the kind where I click the thumbs up button before even watching the video. I just know beforehand it’s going to be good. 😊
I envy you your well water. I grew up in a semi-rural area and we had a well ; the water is so soft and nice! Now, I live in a city with hard water. As for exercise, for years I have done my 5 Tibetan Rites, weight lifting for upper body, and jogged each morning before a breakfast of organic oatmeal with chia seeds, flax seeds, maple syrup or honey, and coconut beverage. I love the early morning since it's so peaceful and I can jog to the nearby park and meditate while the Sun comes up and visit with the birds & squirrels. Ironically (and fatiguingly!) I like late nights as well! Happy Springtime from Canada!
A walk in the woods with my dog, gentle daily Yoga, and now that it's summer, an hour outside gardening are how I exercise. I'm a night person though so I don't want to do much in the morning or have to talk with anyone, or rush. Too, when your body ages, it takes longer to warm up. In my part of the USA, we are about a month behind with growing food too - just the other day I put on thermal underwear! But things are slowly coming along and it seems the hot weather extends into October now so it's ok. Love pancakes - really enjoyed your Sunday video!
I need to get up earlier. It's only 10:30 am here in North Texas and already 90 degrees F with crazy humidity. Love Sundays even more now that I've subscribed to FC and I know there's a new video. Thank you, both of you!
Love the ambience at the beginning of the video, so peaceful and relaxing :) I feel it's so much easier to wake up early in the morning with the summer light
Pancakes are wonderful. Maple syrup is plentiful in Ontario 🇨🇦 What a joy to see the sunrise. The wisteria, and azaleas, are matchless in their beauty. I love to trot along with you on a country lane. Have a good week.
Just watching you..on any day slows down the day..
I get up early to..my cats are nagging me to feed them.
Then I also pray and think and not always but plan the day.
My garden especially now is full of flowers and plants..and in the first hours of the morning its beautifull..here in Italy we have almost every day high tempertus
And its lots of watering.
I love crafting..making pretty things with my hands and a saturday morning or sunday is perfect..
Last sunday I did some horserinding..with a beautifull merry and her faul.
Sore but wonderfull exprience.
Love your videos...love you cottage..I wish I could show you mine..and its view over the mountains...hi fron Costa Caranara
Good morning. Yes keep it simple. I did Jazzercise and jogging back in the day. Now am retired and my exercise is my bike, I ride around my community.
I have always loved to get up early, my thoughts are I don’t want to miss anything.
Have a marvelous week. Chat soon.
Beautiful sharing. I love to pray, I find that talking to God does all those beautiful things you mentioned. Exercise? Yes, walking and water therapy at YMCA. I love journaling as well. I too love pancakes with yogurt and fruit, nuts and of course, my bacon, lol! Thank you again for sharing. I love your videos. Keep them coming. You inspire many.
Before my cancer came back I would spend a hour or more in the gym.. I just loved it.. now I just like to take nice strolls outside when I feel good!
Stay strong my friend. A cancer survivor is thinking if you from 🇨🇦
I am sending you healing vibes from Canada!
Walking is my exercise of choice. It is the sanest form of exercise. That, and gentle yoga.
I don't get up as early but take enough time to do oral cleaning up and taking that warm glass of water. I love working out and have not missed a single day since Jan 3 (the upside of working from home for me). I love Sydney Cummings workouts! Thank you for sharing this beautiful video! 🧡
I love to do pranayama, Anlom vilom, shavAasana , Aerobics etc....
Love from India ❤😘
My passion is my daily long walks with my dogs. My favourite breakfast is left over roasted root vegetables (sweet potatoes, carrots, onion, garlic) heated up on a plate, then topped with 2 fried eggs in butter😋
As a nurse, I always prefer healthy food options. The first drink of the day for me is hot water and lemon, then coffee. Breakfast is a whole grain gluten free cereal with banana, or almond milk yogurt with walnuts and raisins. My preferred exercise is walking, especially near the shore. Your videos are so soothing and instill mindfulness. Many Blessings.
Feels like after watching your videos, they always put me back on the right track where i should be to live my life, where i am relaxed and organised, where i do slow down! Thank you 🥰 i am a busy mum of 2 under 2, and most days are extremely busy, and sometimes feels like the slow relaxed living is just way too far..... regards from wexford 😊
Whoever reading this, you’ll be succesful someday. Just keep on pushing ❤️
who's to say we aren't successful(definition?) now at this current moment, thx anyway :)
Care to talk more about your meditation practice? I try guided meditations, but my mind is always drifting off. I am curious about mantra meditation and how it has helped you.
I can relate to the challenge of getting exercise in... I know I need it and feel better after, but taking the first step takes a bit of effort. I find when I am anxious/ stressed I thrive on jogging, or other heart raising activities. When I’m angry I like to punch a bag or lift some weight, and when I’m sad I often feel like not moving at all but may do a little yoga or a walk to get the blood flowing.
Niamh u have. Truly understood the simplicity of life slow conscious living no other way to be thank u for one of the many precious gifts from life I have received today u definitely and always being one of them 🥰🥰have a peaceful week keep it simple ☺️☺️☺️☺️
I do suryakriya in the morning...it energizes me for the day.
Isha kriya before sleeping.
I love exercising, mainly gentle things like Pilates, yoga, ballet or walking. I too live by three things: exercise, healthy eating and being outdoors. I was surprised by your restful sleep value and realised that is something I’d like to work on. Perhaps I’ll go to bed earlier. Whilst I can’t help the night time wake ups by 11 month old daughter, I can be more proactive in giving myself a few hours before the early morning feed.
Here in the united state's midwest we have the 17 year cicada swirling around us with decibels over 90 :)
I went strawberry picking a few days ago and a cicada jumped out of a strawberry plant and was making that screech noise they make, it scared the crap out of this poor little girl that was just trying to get a strawberry 🤣😂🤣😂
The cicadas are wild right now, man!
Where are you in the midwest, if you don't mind me asking? I'm in nw Missouri and we haven't seen or I guess heard any. We did have a 17 year cicada year in 2015 though, so perhaps we wont have them as bad here this year. They are annoying when they get going though.
Also in the midwest, no cicadas here yet, but I actually enjoy the sound of them from afar. Up close they get pretty loud. I love waking up, grabbing coffee and going out on the back porch and listening to the birds' constant chatter.
@@butterflymuse2707 yikes! i saw someone using a badminton racket for protection
@@bonbonsews9327 Yeah my coworker said his neighbor uses an umbrella to get to and from her car for work. Where I live they're not that bad, we can only mostly hear them in the trees, but about 30 miles south of me they are apparently so bad you can't go outside. Nuts!!!
I love to exercise! Mostly in the gym, but also yoga and im obsessed with long walks. As long as I find time each day to be active, its fine by me 😊
My go to breakfast for the weekend is something we called "pericos" (which consists of eggs, chopped green onion and chopped fresh tomatoes, salt and the result is a scrumptious dish). I'm from Cali- Colombia. So there you have: pericos, arepa and agua de panela (it's a hot beverage we made with raw cane sugar) or sometimes we drank coffee, even chocolate as we did today. 😊
Hola 👋🏻 I was born in Uruguay but I’ve been living in Sydney Australia for a very long time when I was young I travelled all over Latin America and Colombia was one of my favourite countries! I used to have arepas and agua de panela for breakfast I loved it ! and patacones at the beach in Barranquilla 😊👍🏻
I agree about the daily walk and meditation. These are the two things I do for myself that have the greatest positive impact on my life. 🤍
Best medicine!
FC you have the beautiful Cty. Wicklow. I have the beautiful mountains and coastline of Maine. Deep woods and waters, with all the living things inside them, are something everyone should have access to enjoy. Good living.
I love exercising. Love to mix all sorts of it so that I don't get bored. Love Pilates,Yoga,Strength Building,Tabata,Hiit,Cardio,Jogging and walking. But yeah walking is one of my favourite too. Loads of love and thanks for sharing this video ❤️❤️
I wake up at 7:00. I do some exercises but I love to take walks. Thanks for sharing your morning with us 💚❤
Hellou, thank you for the video it really has brought me some peace :)
I just wanted to add something to the sleep thing:
There are in general different types of people: those who go to bed early and wake up early (,,larks''), those who go to bed lately and wake up therefore late (,,owls'') and those in between. The Larks have some advantages in our society, whose circadian rythm fits better to the ''normal'' early working schedules - where in the contrary the owls have the disadvantage to go to bed or arise from it agaist their rythm. The circadian rythm even influences your concentration, so the larks have the advantage to show their full potential during their working time while the owls brain is still half asleep - when the owls full concentration shows up in the afternoon or early evening, it's often already time to go home - therefore it even happens that owls get worse jobs.. and on top they are even sometimes called lazy - or even irresponsible towards their bodies because of their sleeping behaviour. In reality it can even be unhealthy to be forced to ignore your inner rythm.
On which time you feel the urge to go to bed also depends on your age and other aspects, but whether you're a owl, a lark or something in between always influences that. Therefore we shouldn't generally judge people who go to bed lately - they have simply another circadian rythm.
There are even theories about WHY there are different types of ''sleepers''..One that at least made sense to me is this one:
Long, long time ago sleeping wasn't at all as safe as nowadays(well in some places still isn't but let me continue), there were dangers that needed to be recognized early enough - otherwise it would have been critical to survive (after starting to sleep on the floor, it was a huge help to ''own'' fire but still there were risks). Back to my point: If people would have had the same sleep-rythm they would have been unprotected for 8 hours. If some of them got to ''bed'' 2 hours later (owls) and some wake up 2 hours earlier (larks), there are only 4 hours that are critical - and therefore higher chances to survive. It's logical right?
All those infomation is just me trying to remember the facts from the book ,,Why we sleep'' from Prof.Dr.med. Matthew Walker (huge recommendation for everyone who is interested in sleep in general, it's reallly an incredibly fascinating topic) - so if anyone knows better, please, please, please correct me (and my English too)
Besides the information above, I think listening to your body is almost always the healthiest thing you can do - whether this is going to bed early or late. To all the owls: it's probably a huge struggle between wanting to go to bed to your preferred time, trying to get your important 8 hours of sleep AND be forced to follow societys rules and on top even be judged and called lazy - hope things will change somewhen in the future so everyone can show their full pontential and live their healthiest life.
Thanks a lot for reading
please correct me if there's anything wrong
Love, light, peace & blessings
Sophia
I love being an early riser...it's soothing to be up before the world wakes up...love your morning routine. Mine starts with an hour to myself: meditation and prayer every morning
Wow...beautiful colors in the sky. I wish I did more walking. However I opt instead for the occasional long session in the garden: messing around with pots, herbs, veg and water of course.
We really look forward to your videos every week - you and my beloved sweetheart seem like kindred spirits, including your weekend pancake tradition! I just wanted to suggest you get a new frying pan. I recall hearing that once the non-stick coating begins to show signs of wear (scratching, flaking, etc) it's time to get rid of the pan, as the coating can be quite toxic. I'm not sure if that applies in your case, but I thought it best to send a note. Hope you receive it.
I also prefer walking as my exercise. We definitely do pancakes on weekends as well!
I am the same way. I don’t like jogging but love walks. Maybe because I like to observe the nature around me and running just is not the same thing.
I’m not an exercise person either but I try to put it in my schedule as much as I can. There is an app that helps get you up and go. it’s called 7M workout. It’s 7 minutes workout. It’s fun and I like it. And you may as well.
Like you I love a walk or a bike ride. On hot mornings I love to go for a quick dip in the bay.
Listening to birds in the morning is a wonderful joy. I am reminded of the song “Morning Has Broken”. Thank you for a lovely video.
I love to swim & walk. I wish I was more of a morning person but it's a struggle for me to get up & start my day until a little later. Lovely video ❤️🌞😊
I love walking. Frees my mind body and soul.. gives me strength
I'm addicted to exercising especially running and weight training. But it's a way for me to unwind and relax. Kind of like my own meditation. But thanks for the video! Very lovely as always
My Morning routine is watering my plant as I always get sweaty after that so I can take shower. My mother will go for a walk during this time (I made her to). and then I favourite moment is making breakfast. I need to add my exercise to my morning too.
the greenery you show in your videos is so abundant! love it!
In India it is the usual morning routine of almost all of the mothers. They wake up really early, do the needful, pray and start their chores. I can totally relate to it. Sometimes I feel bad that my routine can't be like this because of my office hours. My office ends at 10 in the evening. 🥺🥺
Crepes, blueberry sauce, whip cream and over easy eggs with sausage spelled "weekend has started" growing up. Today, that seems too much time. A treat now is sipping espresso made on the stove in my Grandmother's cup.
Laundry lines are not allowed in most neighborhoods where I live. But I went for a long walk, listened to the church bell hymns and brought the fresh air inside on my dress. It was wonderful.
Cheers!❤
Everyday I choose 10-20 mins of yoga, Pilates or a HIIT workout. Whatever is calling my soul that morning. I find all the videos on RUclips and it just makes everything so much easier. I’m always exhausted before I move... but after... oh my goshhhh do I feel aliveeee!!! Endorphins are incredible & so is your beautiful soul ☺️🤍 Lots of love your way✨
Thank you for filming the little robin. I do miss them so, since I no longer live in Europe.
Now that I have had my vaccine, I went back to swimming and have been going most days. I love being in water the light, the movement, the feeling of weightlessness. I have been feeling so much better and started to incorporate a short walk around the fields when I get to work. this has helped me to destress.
I have to smile at all the 'quiet morning routine' videos people make. My mornings always start out with putting dogs out, feeding horses, dogs and cats, and getting my son up and into his morning. We have a rule; Unless you are very old, very young, or very ill, if you have opposable thumbs, you eat last in the morning. because animals can't work can openers! I do admit that all that quick activity gets your blood flowing and your energy up.
I used to go to the gym before work and take a walk during lunchtime but with covid, I’m working from home and I take walks at lunchtime with my dog (30 min) and a big walk at the end of the day with my dog again (1h) it helps to separate the office time and the rest time ! But I’m waiting for the pools to open again to diversify 😅
A morning walk is a good idea. I think I will suggest that to my husband as the days are longer. My eating kick lately has been when I discovered vegan cinnamon buns - so really need to get walking ha ha. My favourite form of exercise is yoga.
If I want to see the dawn, I need to get up before 4 am :') it is also not yet full dark at midnight. High northern hemisphere problems haha. In winter however I get to witness the dawn and the sunset so easily.
Almost everyone wants to get moving when they hear a favorite song or rhythm. So play those tunes and start dancing!!!
Your sweater looks so cozy and that tiny silver cauldron salt dish is adorable. I'm guessing it was either handed down or found in an antique or thrift shop? That little bird that kept visiting was so sweet. We love watching the birds that visit our house. Thank you for sharing this.
I've been really bad with not doing exercise for the past few months! Usually we'd go out for a long walk on a Saturday or Sunday. But the effects of sitting in front of a computer for long periods is really showing. So I've started jumping rope/skipping to get me more active during the week.
Beautiful and comfortable video, as always. On the topic of exercise, which I personally love. I wasn't too inclined to it as an adolescent, but have developed a healthy desire for it throughout my 20s. I love cycling both outdoors and indoors. I was getting to spin classes regularly before the pandemic, and since then my partner and I have actually invested in a spin bike and a subscription to a service which provides spin classes for us. That is more expensive however, and if we didn't have the spin bike I would be cycling outdoors, going for long walks, doing some shorter strength workouts at home (I love these and I find the pass by quite easily), and the always constant in my life yoga. Sending love from Vancouver Island, Canada
I like bike riding on a nature trail and seeing flora and fauna helps energize me as much as the riding does.
Exercise has changed for me at almost 58 years old. I used to be a fanatic about it - ‘no pain, no gain.’ But recently I learned a new breathing method which I do first before my walk. It has helped me immensely with managing my asthma so much better. Thus also making my morning walks so much more enjoyable. I now love my morning breath work followed by my walk. Feels so sacred. ❤️
The birds are my alarm clock. I spent Saturday morning working in my garden getting everything mulched to survive the heat (mid 90’s now). I used to spend my weekends running/training for some race, but now find joy in gardening.
Here in Maine, the sunlight stream into the dorm room I'm in around 4:50am to 5am and it wakes me up each time. Plus the silence following the sunlight...
It's pretty cool! Way different than in Florida where the sun would poke in at around 6:30am and I would hear noise everywhere.
I love when the light streams in!!
Gardening is my absolute favorite exercise! I am also very blessed to have many walking trails in my town, so I will usually go for a walk in the mornings. I also change up which trail I go on to keep things a bit fresh.
Since I've retired I enjoy popping up before dawn and watching everything come to life out here in the WVa countryside. I drink my mug of coffee, putter about my house and write my gratitudes, emails and to-dos list for the day. In warm weather, I try to do any baking or laundry early in the morning so it doesn't fight against the air conditioning. Yesterday I baked a tray of ginger scones. Our summer is about two weeks behind usual thus year but I did find a small zucchini in my container garden yesterday. Yummy! The cicadas haven't started here yet but all the heavy rains have certainly encouraged the mosquitos!
I m an early riser too. It makes my day better to wake up early.
