My clever sister said something to me a while back about making choices from a place of love versus fear. I've spent a lot of my life making choices out of fear, and it is something I try to be conscious of because the outcome is never what you want it to be when you operate from that basis. I haven't run more than about 1km straight in the better part of 5 months. I've been too scared to even try for reasons too numerous to mention. But finally today I found the self love to see what I could still do, knowing that anything would be enough. I gave myself permission to stop and walk, or pull the pin at 5, 6, then 7 kilometers. I didn't need to. My legs remembered what they could do. My heart remembered that it isn't broken, just a little bruised. Sometimes you just have to dig deep and keep going even when it hurts, because the gift of reconnecting with your true self is more than worth it. #whoneedsoprah #runforyourlife #mentalhealth #healing #opmovesisterhood

Been awhile since I showed you my shoes. I seem to have been hit by the end-of-year-exhaustion train already which is a worry given it's not even November yet. But I have a plan to keep moving but stay with my #chasingzen gently gently thinger... I'm learning to run all over again. I'm a bit excited about it too. I've registered for the November Learn to Run course with Operation Move and I've also taken advantage of the half price Pay It Forward program to gift a registration to a beautiful woman who also deserves a do-over and a bit of gently gently. If you might like to join us, or to give a friend the gift of fitness, you can find out how here: http://operationmove.com.au/shop/product/pay-it-forward-learn-to-run/ I can't wait to meet my Summer team :)

When you get home from work, throw food at four children who apparently have never eaten before in their lives, then sneak a cup of tea in your beautiful birthday teacup in the 37 seconds of peace whilst they eat. I love my busy, noisy, boisterous household. I also love these brief windows of quiet. #luckymama #bigfamiliesrock #tea #chasingzen

Oh boy did I need that this week. I've been experiencing the side effects of a hefty parasympathetic response over the weekend and struggling to bring myself back to center. For someone whose default setting is somewhere close to manic, this yoga thing is both challenging and a revelation. I feel full of deep sighs tonight. It is such a relief to breathe again. #yoga #vinyasa #chasingzen #breathe #mentalhealth #anxiety

Having lived the 'go hard or go home' attitude for the past three years, embracing this new gently gently approach can be a bit challenging. Running (and on days like today that means lots of walking) to feel rather than to try and get faster, lifting less and lighter, resting more and embracing the slower and more quiet... It's kind of the opposite to everything I ever do and yet I'm reaping some big benefits already. I guess he fact is that I don't HAVE to run any more. I have nothing to run away from. Everything I want is right here. I'm going to sit with it and enjoy every minute. #seekingzen #slowdown #mentalhealth

It has been a week for endings. Some hopeful, some exciting, some very sad and challenging. But I have fresh sheets and fresh flowers. My partner gets back from his work trip tonight and I can't wait to see him. And every new beginning comes from some other beginnings end. #onwards #lovemybedroom #sanctuary #bringspringin

Apparently just wanting zen to happen RIGHTNOWDAMMIT is not how it works. For shame. So I'm shifting gears for the rest of this year and I'll share bits and pieces here and on the blog as I go, in case anyone would like to join me? http://katiesays.com.au/crawl/ xx

The best thing about long run day is that I can justify driving a bit further and escaping suburbia, because I'll have the time to really soak up my surroundings. 16kms of run 3, walk 1 for me today. Just shy of two hours to find some zen. Perfect. #slowdown #changingdirection #opmovesisterhood

My sister came in to meet our Tommo when he was a day or so old, and told me she was pregnant. Having grown up not having cousins nearby, we hoped she might have a boy who would also be a friend to my son. Seven years later, Tom adores his cousin Charlie above nearly everyone else in the world. Watching them grow up together is so awesome and their friendship just grows stronger as time passes. #lovetheseboys #cousins #besties #radkids #blessed

#opmove4friday double up for me today. 4km tempo run followed by 4 fun kms in the sunshine with this awesome kid. He's got a student free day today and I am delighted to have him all to myself for a few hours. He's pretty awesome company. #radkid #myson #notbiased #lovehim

The one where you stop a Year 7 class mid happy-working-chatter to give them the R-word talk. Quietest they have been all day, if even one of them thinks twice before throwing it around casually again I'll feel like I've done a good job today. #learningmoments #everyonehasastory #respect

This week in the bedroom, brought to you by cute Fathers Day cards and beautiful asiatic lilies that remind me of my sister. I'm in the lookout for a new doona cover for Spring. My bedroom is such a sanctuary these days and I love that it feels pretty and happy and welcoming every time I walk in. I've not had much luck finding what I'm looking for though. Something colourful and bright that doesn't cost a million dollars would be nice. Any hot tips? I know loads of places have great sales at the moment but that doesn't help if they're not making with the purty ;)

For the first time in the longest of times I felt like I could just run forever. I love that 14 constitutes a long run these days. I love my short, hard 4k stints before I lift on gym days. I love that running gives so much to my life these days, rather than dictating it. Balance huh? It's a fine thing. I realised this morning that in 5 days it will be 2 years since I quit smoking. I barely recognise that person of 2 years ago. The days can be long, but the years are getting so much shorter.

Two things: 1. I wrote a bit about anxiety, after a fairly challenging weekend. You can read about that here: http://katiesays.com.au/56-2/ 2. I'm having a Monday morning that lends itself to wine with dinner Monday evening. You know the one. So what's a good wine choice to have with baked crispy-skinned salmon please? #anxiety #ptsd #breathe

Fridays can be super hectic at the moment, especially when it's the kids' weekend with their Dad. From the moment the bell rings we all belt out of our respective classrooms, jump in the car, pick up the small girl and hit the freeway. I've written a bit about how weekends look for me now. You can read it here if you like: http://katiesays.com.au/weird-things-that-happen-afterwards/ How is your Friday looking? Hectic and happy like mine?

Reminiscing about the best espresso martini I've had to date, while in Sydney over the weekend. Cocktails. So good. In other news look over here, there's something shiny! http://katiesays.com.au/the-last-post/ #easilydistracted #sparklythings #blogging
