When a woman becomes a mother it suddenly feels like she is two different people, living in one body. Two different minds. Two different sets of emotions. Two different sets of desires and ambitions. Co-existing in one body, both feeling stifled by the other. Creating internal conflict, tension, struggle. As a result the women feels…

Holiday reading list 2019

September 25, 2019Linda AndersonBALANCE, FAMILYNo Commentsbooks, holiday, reading

I haven’t had a good book to read for a while and with school holidays just days away I decided I needed to rectify this. My children all love to read so when we are away together for the holidays I love having “family quiet time” in the afternoon where we can all curl up…

Is your inner voice helpful?

August 29, 2019Linda AndersonBALANCE, DREAM BIGNo CommentsInspiration, intentions, overwhelm

We all have a voice in our heads. You know the one that chats along to you during the day, passing comments on what is happening around you, convincing you to do something (or not). If you pay attention to what this voice is saying, really pay attention, you might notice that what it is…

Three things I wish I had known at the beginning

March 15, 2019Linda AndersonBALANCE, FAMILYNo Commentsmotherhood

If you could go back and tell yourself three things at the start of your motherhood journey what would they be? For me they would be: 1. ASK FOR HELP Ask sooner. Ask more often. Ask without guilt or judgement. When someone offers help, just say YES.       2. YOU DON’T HAVE TO…

February 14, 2019Linda AndersonBALANCE, ME TIME2 Commentsbalance, Inspiration, intentions, me time, motherhood, oceanswim, overwhelm

The other day I was trying to explain to my husband what the mental load in my life is like, and why sometimes it becomes overwhelming. I was explaining that not only do I need to keep track of all my own ‘stuff’ I am keeping track of all the little things that 4 other…

Medical Self Care – are you up to date?

October 18, 2018Linda AndersonFITNESS & WELLBEING, ME TIMENo Commentsme time, motherhood, self care

As mother’s we spend a huge amount of time and energy caring for the well being and needs of our family, often neglecting to take care of our own needs along the way. This was on my mind this week as I finally made it to the dentist for the first time since moving to…

Ocean Swim Fiji – my imperfect preparation

September 6, 2018Linda AndersonDREAM BIG, FITNESS & WELLBEING, ME TIMENo Commentsfiji, Inspiration, me time, oceanswim

A week from now I will be boarding a plane to Fiji. Without children. Sounds pretty awesome doesn’t it! A few weeks ago I won a prize through New Zealand Herald Travel to take part in the inaugural Ocean Swim Fiji event. The ironic thing is that reason I won is also exactly the reason…

Rest is ALMOST as good as sleep

June 26, 2018Linda AndersonBALANCE, FAMILY, FITNESS & WELLBEINGNo Commentsmeditation, self care, sleep

Motherhood. Sleep.  These things really don’t go together … ‘Sleep when your baby sleeps’ … I was never good at that … I remember when my first baby was born how I tussled within myself about my sleep deprivation. I struggled to simply be accepting of the relentless calls through the night. Fortunately I found…

My island swim friends and I are catching a water taxi across to Auckland for the race.
I have been pretty quiet in the lead up to this swim because I wasnt sure I was going to be able to do it (grrr ... injury) but yesterday I decided I was still going to have a go, even if I just swim super slow and gentle.
You see, a beautiful soul I used to paddle with in Sydney was killed in an accident 2 weeks ago ... leaving behind young children and her wonderful husband. Tomorrow her funeral will be held in Sydney.
Tomorrow I choose to swim ... because I can. And I want to really feel gratitude for that fact and send love from the ocean across the ditch to all who will miss her. 💗🏊‍♀️💗
