Expressing life's journeys in writing and poetry
It can be so easy to say live for the journey but what does this really mean to live it each and every day..
After considering this question this is what I discovered,
Do things for the love
For the journey
Most of all do things
So that so many other souls
Can remember how you helped to ignite, inspire and support theirs 💗
What does it really mean for you ..
To really live for the journey
To really truly be you..?
Something to ponder on..,
To your journey 🙏💗

Everything changes
Yet always in the moment,
Nothing stays the same ♡

Robins are singing,
Sometimes seeing is believing;
Moments beginning ♡

Even though we have different ways,
Different visions;
Different things to say
It doesnt make one more right than the other
Every individual has their own way,
Every individual deserves to have their say;
Stand up,
Share your vision;
Say what you have to say ♡
~ M. L Adams
Everytime you thought I left you,
I was there
When you were really struggling, I showed you the way,
When you thought you couldn’t go on any longer
I helped you find your courage,
In every moment;
Every day
I have helped you find your way;
Please see me,
Please believe me
I have been here always
Please see me,
Please believe me;
Everything will be ok ♡♡♡

With the current coronavirus pandemic, now more than ever is an important time to reflect on what is and isn’t helpful to our health.
Many of us will have spent much of this year (other than that important exercise time), being cooped up indoors.
‘So just how detrimental can this be to our health’?
It is proven that staying indoors too much actually affects our immune system as we lack the access to normal microbes that help to build our important defence system.
Staying indoors too much also affects our natural circadian rhythm that controls our innate sleep-wake cycle. This is because of the lack of natural sunlight that enables our body to adjust naturally.
Spending time in nature however has the opposite effect as being in nature naturally relaxes us, improving our overall mood and mental health.
One great example of this is forest therapy (shinrin-yoku) which in Japan is now offered as a part of health prescription and advised for overall health improvement.
Results have actually shown that two hours of mindful exploration in a forest can reduce blood pressure, lower stress levels and improve concentration and memory.
Pretty amazing results for some enjoyable time in nature.
Whilst working with personal training and coaching clients we often do our session outdoors in parks and it always enhances the positive effect, as clients feel much more relaxed as well as reporting feeling more positive than when just in the gym or training at home.
Overall if we can make a concertive effort to spend more time in nature we will find it having a positive effect on all areas of our life by leading us to feel healthier and happier thus leading to a healthier society. Spending time in nature also provides a great sanctuary for when times get difficult, of which we all have these.
Please don’t just take my word for it. Give it a try for yourself. Try setting in your schedule regular times each week in which you can spend time in nature and see for yourself what a difference it can make.
Enjoy connecting with the beauty of nature and the natural sounds and you may even discover more about yourself.
‘Nature itself is the best physician’ – Hippocrates
Never let anyone tell you, you can’t do something
Others may try to knock you down,
To throw you out
Or wear you down
But its up to you
No matter what
To be the one
Who keeps going
To be the one; who keeps believing ♡

Just a little inspiration for your goals this year. Life is a way of being, ensure you’re being what you want to be, and doing what you want to be doing 💗 Happy New Year 2021 💗
When you realise there’s ‘nothing’ to fight you don’t need to,
All defence is illusion based on something to protect,
When in reality there is nothing
Realise this and you’re free
To fight without fighting,
Accept all that you see and move freely
Intercept anything particularly in yourself that blocks or threatens this freedom
Most importantly,
Be you;
Be free ♡
~ M. L Adams
The greatest block can be a fear of what people do, say or think,
The greatest advice would be to just discard it,
Why;
People can say anything but in reality
It means nothing
Why;
Opinions change as much and often as the wind;
Yet the truth in your heart
The truth of who you are
That is what always outlasts
No matter how you are portrayed
Or what people say
It is the light that is within;
That always guides your way ❤
