Reflection Friday: The Magic Of airbnb

I’ve only recently really started getting into airbnb – and the more I began to look for cosy, cost-effective weekends away in Ireland (We’re staying here & here next), the more I began to open up my search to Europe and other parts of the world, dreaming of fabulous destinations and being inspired by all these different homes. In the same week, I stumbled upon this article, on spending money on experiences, rather than things!

“Gilovich also studied anticipation and found that anticipation of an experience causes excitement and enjoyment, while anticipation of obtaining a possession causes impatience. Experiences are enjoyable from the very first moments of planning, all the way through to the memories you cherish forever.” Read the full article here.

And this is exactly what airbnb was doing for me – bringing tremendous joy in planning, dreaming, creating goals and looking forward to exploring. Whether it’s a budget cottage 20 minutes away or a 10 sleeper villa in Italy, there’s something to be said for the lasting power of experiences!

3 spots on my airbnb wish list:

Reflection Friday: Breaking Busy

We’re flying back to Dublin today! The last 3 months have been amazing to be back home and enjoy the sunshine, see friends and family etc – but juggling Harry and trying to stay work focused has had its challenges! I’m looking forward to getting back to my own home and routine – but I’m going to listen to this podcast again to make sure I don’t busy myself so, that I don’t take in and enjoy our current adventures! (Because I have loads of plans!!)

  • Learn how to stop chasing what leaves you empty and start doing what you were created to do.
  • Identify the common lies you believe and how to strip their power from your life.
  • Recognize how what you say no to determines what you can say yes to.
  • Stop making comparisons on social media!

You’re nodding to at least one of these right!? TAKE A LISTEN! xx

Reflection Friday

Here’s a great read as we enter 2016 with all these resolutions! I think I may read this a few times, go and sit quietly, and really think about what my heart wants. I already know my heart is pulling towards being more intentional about things – and not fluffing around & wasting time – head wanting to move in all directions. Less=More! Focus. Breathing space . . . LIVING!
