“Frugal Freedom” read my latest blog at weavethefuturemagical.com. Two excellent books I’ve read recently, “Meet the Frugalwoods” (borrowed eBook from library) and “The Art of Frugal Hedonism” (a friend lent me), have shared the increased pleasures of living a simplified, values-driven life. The joy of harvesting and sharing your own produce, of camping with friends, the relationship-building potential of cutting each other’s hair and going on picnics. The silver lining of lockdown has not simply been the Scrilla saved but also the increased focus on values, the return to simplicity, self-sufficiency and sourdough starters. Is a wine-cooler (or kombucha) in the driveway talking to your neighbours secondary to getting on-the-beers at the pub or is it actually superior? Likewise, nature walks and live streamed yoga classes vs. going to the gym. Ditto homemade cinnamon scrolls vs. Baker’s Delight?

“The Hunger Games-May challenge”. Read my latest blog at 💕weavethefuturemagical.com. Every month this year, I’m trying a new challenge to see if it kickstarts a positive change or habit. In May, I tried the 5:2 Diet. I had put on the Quarantine-5 (kgs-at least!) so was hopeful that this regime would break my slavery to the constant insatiable eating. The 5:2 diet involves eating normally for five days per week, then restricting your calorie intake to 500–600 calories on the other two days (500 for women, 600 for men). It was developed by Dr Michael Mosley. I read his 2014 book “The 5:2 Diet”. He has since updated the regime to be kickstarted by a time of eating 800 calories prior to this but I jumped right into ye olde 5:2.

New blog up-Come on come on...feel it feel it-link in bio. I’m no expert but this surely isn’t an appropriate response to a child in pain and it’s not an appropriate response to ourselves either. If we feel happy or like laughing, we respond in the moment rather postponing it saying, ‘that’s funny, I’ll laugh later at a better time’. We feel happy, smile and laugh and then it passes. Charlie suggests that when we feel any emotion coming up, we should lean into it-close eyes if possible and chase the feeling around your body. It may get stronger for a time but will quickly dissipate if we sit with it and process it. (at Stay at Home and Keep Positive) https://www.instagram.com/p/CALuyP5HWRd/?igshid=1q351bhskrrmp

Quarantine for basics- new blog up at weavethe future magical.com. It can be tempting to stay horizontal in PJs with the remote in one hand and a snack in the other but if you can get yourself into a more active routine, you’ll feel a million percent better. Here are some things I’ve been trying/ friendsies have recommended: https://www.instagram.com/p/B_nrO3uHYVV/?igshid=1759fvpen45os

This magical book “The Happiness of Pursuit” by @193countries kept me company on my mini-break to Sydney and back. Inspiring epic adventures of quests-from travelling to every country (the author), to taking a vow of silence to advocating against foresting by living up a tree. Great tips to find your passions and lean into them. I’m currently contemplating this quote too , “Better to be at the bottom of a ladder you want to climb than in the middle of some ladder you don’t, right?” (at Melbourne Airport, Victoria) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4LWGsvn2U4/?igshid=1gmch413pvsz1
