How I stay healthy with *small* but mighty habits. Diet / Workout / Mental Health
Sometimes being healthy and staying healthy isn't about big changes, it's about implementing small changes into your routine and sticking to them.
I'm sharing about the small changes I've implemented recently that are making a huge difference in the way I feel in my health, in my body, in my mind.
I share with you about my diet and what I eat throughout the day, as well as changes and habits I have to protect my mental health and ensure that I am in a good place mentally.
I also share how my hobbies such a sewing are helping me stay grounded in busy seasons.
I hope this video inspires you to take care of yourself.
Lots of love!
Alex

Life is better when you make space for what you love
Просмотров 1,4 тыс.28 дней назад
When you make space for what you love, life becomes sweeter, lighter and better. In this video, I share ways in which I romanticise my summer, with a very small budget. I share about elderflower picking, spending time in nature, sewing, cooking, and gardening, and about the importance of romanticising little moments as a way to enjoy the present moment. About me: I’m Alexandra and I live in Oxf...
A *REALISTIC* Day in My Life as A WORKING MOM.
Просмотров 1,4 тыс.Месяц назад
As a working mom, here's how I balance, work, motherhood, and hobbies. This is a very realistic portrayal of my day. I didn't plan it, I didn't script it, I just pressed record, and captured that day as accurately as possible. Often times we see perfect days of perfect people who have perfect lives and that can leave us to think that our lives are a mess. But I wanted to show the realities of b...

7 Days of Creativity: Balancing Motherhood & Passion Projects

Sunday evening last week I challenged myself to create something each day for a week. Seven days of creativity as a way to live out my dream life of creating beautiful things and spending time with my hobbies.

I did not hand stitch it and I used a ribbon to bind it, not perfect but it has lasted for over 30 years so far. I want to do make another quilt now, hand stitching as you have done. ❤

    Love your videos! Such great points about social media, I think I conquered instagram in a similar way, I now just look with a web browser when I want to look at something specific and it’s far less addictive than the app. But, now I seem to have replaced the scrolling/zone out urge with YT shorts which is probably more addictive, need to take action against that for sure, as when I watch such wholesome valuable content as yours it’s clearly superior. Thanks for another great video ❤

    Also, everything you said about movement and eating healthy is spot on. What you eat and the exercises that you do affects your physical and mental health. I always feel better when I make a healthy meal or when I do a dance workout. The opposite is true when I eat a lot of junk food and stop working out. Love this video so much! Sending much love to you and the family.💛💛💛💛

      Yes, I always feel so heavy after junk food. It’s so great and enjoyable in the moment, but once it’s landed, it’s suffering. McDonald’s always gives me a tummy ache! Good food doesn’t do that. And movement has got to be one of the best way to stay healthy, mind, body and soul! So will keep it up! Thank you so much for watching my dear! 🩷🩷🩷

    I struggled with staying away from instagram, I deleted my account but I was missing out on stuff I didn't want to miss out. What helped me a lot was to identify how I felt every time I had the urge to scroll for hours and addressed those emotions instead. Also setting a time limit each day is helpful. Love your videos! ❤❤

      I love being back on social, I feel like I can stay connected more with some of my friends on there and just current fashion and food things. And now that I know it’s a bit of a problem if I scroll too much, it helps me have a healthier relationship with it. Sometimes deleting it isn’t the answer, but getting to the root of it like you said can help identify bigger things 🩷

  • @redlantern3371
    @redlantern3371 21 день назад

    Yes! Movement as "medicine". I take mine every day. I always feel better after. Never once have I said to mysel "I wish I hadn't done that exercise." As far as Instagram scrolling, it's exactly as you described, deeply addictive and you can feel like a zombie. Per your advice, I am going to go thru my list of the subscribes and delete the ones that I am not completely passionate about. And thank you for the cooking tips! 🧑‍🍳

    • @AlexandraBurnett
      @AlexandraBurnett 21 день назад

      Yes!!! I have never regretted any type of movement. In many ways we were born to move, to be in nature, to be active. Being selective with who you follow / engage with on social media is probably the best way to interact with social media. It’s a way to control what you ingest and that’s important. X

      Ah thank you for joining me on this little channel. Means a lot, I have never had a problem with RUclips it’s mainly Instagram that I struggled with. But I did find that when I deleted Insta I jumped on RUclips shorts and that got addictive quickly so had to stop. At the moment I have about a handful of channels that I follow religiously so I tune in to those as they inspire me on my journey and in my creativity and then that’s it. 🩷 But I think it’s al meant to be addictive so gotta be cautious with how much time we spend!

    • @AlexandraBurnett
      @AlexandraBurnett 21 день назад

      I found the best way to break my social media addiction is to say no to it for at least 30 days. Cold turkey. The first few days it’s going to be hard. But the clarity of mind you get after and sense of freedom is incredible. Once you feel you’re more in control, you can go back on your own terms with stronger boundaries in place, such as time limits etc! Hope this helps! 🩷

      I was looking at my strawberries the other day and I got scared by a slug it was so wild! I also see lots of spiders in between my plants and it freaks me out! Defo not my favourite part about gardening for sure!!! haha! My husband put some in waters, we shall experiment and see what happens! Thank you for the advice! Sending love and thank you for tuning in!!! Any gardening tips, keep them coming x

    Love this! When I first started sewing, I would bust out these mediocre projects that I ended up not even wearing. My slower projects actually get worn. 😅

      Yes, I also feel the same. I made a simple pair of elasticated trousers, and it was a slow project, but I've worn it so many time already!!

    Lovely video as always ❤ What a beautiful area you have to run around and play with your daughter, and I loved seeing the garden!

      Thank you so much! When we moved out London, this is what we moved for, more green space, a slower pace, and it's truly lovely! I have some many plans for the garden, but my dreams are always slightly bigger than my budget haha! X
