stepping outside your comfort zone

What do you do to shake things up a little? Too often we stick to the safety of what we know. When we don't go to our edge we shortchange ourselves and live within the parameters we have given ourselves. 

This is a picture of me definitely going beyond my own self imposed limitations. Earlier in the year I had committed to an instagram yoga challenge which was all about doing yoga in public places! Scary concept for me. But I did it. And you know what it wasn't near as scary as I had imagined it would be. 

In fact I became so used to it, involving strangers, dragging workmates out at lunch to take photos, that I completely smashed my fear of being the "centre of attention". 

I gave myself permission to be bigger.  How do you test your boundaries and tap into your limitless capacity?

living in the moment

Is it possible to live more in the moment? Life is without question becoming more and more hectic making it all too easy lose sight of the present moment.  It is universally acknowledged that we are less "present", constantly distracted by the future or the past.  

This photo for me is a reminder of what it is to be fully engaged with a moment in your day, truly revelling in it and feeling total fulfilment. 

A series of events led to this random, spontaneous shot taken by friends at the beach. For me will always encapsulate the notion of going with the flow and embracing the here and now. It makes me smile. 

What do you do in your daily life to ensure that it doesn't whizz by without you noticing?
