Don't mess with me Thursday!!

As I sit here on hold for TOLL to explain to me where my missing parcel is I start to wonder about processes these companies have and how they can be such large companies but still lack a few little simple tools to make life MUCH easier for all parties.  Firstly getting me to enter my consignment number on the phone does not actually DO anything as they then ask for it again and enter it into the computer, so why ask for it in the first place if it doesn't do anything? Then they put you through to a different area and the person has NO idea what your query is and you have to go through the entire story again (trying to put on my nice patient voice).  All for a courier delivery service that truly should be simple, you ring the bell, no-one answers, you put a delivery card in the box so the purchaser (me) knows that they tried to deliver the item.

It seems that the delivery people had a box ticked saying it was ok to leave without a signature, I didn't approve that, did the retailer just assume I would be home? So either my package was delivered outside for the world to walk by and just take it or put INSIDE if someone was so kind to let the driver in the door, to date no-one has knocked on my door to say, "i believe this parcel is yours"!.
Now don't get me wrong the people I have spoken to have all been lovely and very helpful but I just find that such a simple process gone wrong costs me time and my purchases (okay,  so I shouldn't of ordered all the amazing specials online, but seriously when else would you get five items for $110)!! Yes, Katie's had a huge sale and because I am now IN my forties I like Katie's, they have either totally revamped their style since last I went in there with Aunties shopping 20 years ago or I am now indeed at THAT age where comfort is sometimes a little more important than a small size fitting you. Ahem.  It has been a week and they have no idea what happened to it because they cannot find which driver was on that day. handy.
So.... hopefully will get a call tomorrow to find out exactly what Mr Driver did with my goodie parcel. I want my goodies! There is a cute quilted puffer jacket/vest i want to wear this weekend. I mean how cute is it........ 

 Watch this space. Rant over.

Who is Dons Health, Fitness & Wellbeing?

Image
Another year older,  I realise I have come so far with my health, fitness and wellbeing beliefs. I am like a sponge, I love learning new things, reading articles and keeping my Facebook and Instagram published is something I am passionate about, doesn't matter how many people read it, I am drawn to writing posts and publishing. I was driven to start my FB and Insta pages,  to spread the healthy message out there instead of the unhealthy diet & exercise messages that you see on social media, I am passionate about the body and the mind being healthy.  Check me out   Facebook  and  Instagram . Even though I am not a trainer anymore - I still have so many training routines in my head, not to mention choreography to dance classes I have done (albeit badly)! The not giving a shit what people think is the main thing I would say to everyone - be you, be loud, be proud, dance like people ARE watching if that is your thing, never apologize for being you.  My purpose is to be a voice - to

All about breathing in, out and letting go.

  Had the most enjoyable yoga class today at Hard Candy... I try and get to Deb's class every Wednesday lunchtime because it really makes me appreciate life, and forget the shit that we hold onto and how unimportant it really all is in the big scheme of things.    An hour of stretches, breathing in a room heated to 37 degrees makes me let go of unnecessary worry and also stretches out and strengthens my tall body.   It is truly a perfect way for me to get fitter and also look after my mental state, because sometimes we can get so caught up in life, that we forget to just let go.  We hold on to far too much energy that can make us feel heavy, flat and we need to let that shit go, the conversation you had three days ago with a friend, let it go, the guy who cut you off in traffic this morning, let it go.   Life is too short to worry about crap... we need to get out of our own mind and experience other thoughts and experience instead of playing the same record in our mind

Just Start Today

  Just Start today. There is never a perfect time to start towards your goals and changing your habits.  Just Start today, here. It can take up to 21 days to change a habit, there is your first milestone to reach, let’s focus on that, just doing something different/new/changing for 21 days. How hard can that be? Time to get out of that Lockdown or winter funk - you are important, you matter and your mental and physical health is important for you and your family/friends.   So, where to start I hear you ask, choose only 1-3 goals at a time, and choose goals with a measurable timeframe - i.e. reduce screen time before bed, increase mindfulness to 15mins a day, try yoga once a week, do a walk with friends every Sunday, eat less processed foods daily, keep a gratitude journal, go for that check up before end of October etc -  start with the following 5 action steps before you just start:     1 - Awareness - Change starts with awareness - you know you need to make a change, this i
