A lot is out there and being said about being mindful and whether you agree or disagree, it is important to cherrish the small things, to reconnect what is around us and to find joy in day to day things.
So last night instead of just rushing into the dinner, bedtime routine and playing catch up on my to-do list(s) I took a moment. A moment where I enjoyed the smell of my fresh little herbs in the kitchen, the crocus reoccuring blossoms that make me think about spring and enjoy the aroma oils in the living room.
It helped to de-stress, calm down, and to be there in the moment.
Think about something little what can bring you a moment of joy – be aware today, everyday!
Have a nice day

Hello, I'm Ann-Katrin. I spend more than 13 years overseas and recently moved from Tokyo, Japan to Muscat, Oman. Over the years I got inspired to support others to feel less overwhelmed, especially when living abroad. I do that with this blog, local small-sized Yoga classes and coaching.
The blog, yoga and coaching are all set up to bring a sense of ease to the reader, participant or client.
After all, life as an Expat is kind of a rollercoaster life and can feel overwhelming at times, no?
I hope you find this blog a source of inspiration to feel relaxed and inspired - or simply put - "at ease"!
And a bit more about myself - I have three kids that keep me busy and on my toes. I love to meet and exchange thoughts and experiences with others across the globe. And Yoga and jogging are my go-to to keep (and at times find) my own ease!
