Apologies in advance for being in my pyjamas with no make up on...I film this on a Sunday (thats my excuse and I'm sticking to it).

Trouble Sleeping

I wouldn't normally upload a blog post at this time, but given its content I thought it rather appropriate. 

I guess if you're up reading blog posts at this time that you might be having trouble sleeping? Me too...sometimes it because I'm anxious about something or sometimes (more annoyingly) it can be for absolutely no reason at all. 

I hate when I get to that desperate point of the night when the time I need to get up the next day is creeping up on me, I'm counting down the hours and I've tried everything from a cup of tea to counting sheep. We've all tried them and I'm sure you'll agree with me when I say nine times out of ten these methods are pretty rubbish.

I recently discovered the concept of 'yoga sleep', a method using yoga techniques to help you relax, forget about the stresses of the day and send you off into a good nights sleep. I know what you're probably thinking and I was a little sceptical too.

I've been using a download from Natasha Kerry Yoga which is a free 10 minute sample of a yoga sleep technique. I wish I could tell you about it from start to finish but I've never got to the end as I've always been asleep. Mission accomplished!

If this post hasn't sent you to sleep then enter you email address on the homepage to receive your 10 minute yoga sleep download or click here to download it onto your computer. If you try it let me know how you get on.

Sleep well

N.B I'm not being paid or receiving any freebies in order to endorse Natasha Kerry Yoga in any way, I just like the download and it works for me.

100 Happy Days

I know I'm very late to the party with this, but after feeling a little down yesterday I decided to sign up to the 100 Happy Days Challenge.

If you're not sure what 100 Happy Days is, it is a a commitment to post one photo a day to a social media network of your choice (I'll be using Instagram) documenting the small moment in the every day that makes you happy. The idea is to find happiness and positivity in every day and remember that its not just the things we count down to such as holidays, weekends and special occasions that are important...it is also these small moments that make life worth living.

For me I'm hoping that this will help me refocus on a down day and remind me to appreciate each day as it comes...expect lots of coffee moments and food posts with the occasional view thrown in for good measure. 

From now until June 3rd I'll be doing this challenge on my Instagram account so feel free to follow me and join in if you fancy. 

Have you done the 100 Happy Days Challenge? Whether you're taking part in this challenge or not, I hope your next 100 days and beyond are all happy ones.

A change of direction...Oh Holly Gosh

So if you're reading this you will have noticed that my blog has completely changed, I hope this hasn't put you off (especially the pinkness, don't worry I'm planning on changing it to something a little less Barbie). 

I've been umming and ahhing about this for a little while as the focus in my life and the things I want to write about have changed slightly since I started this blog back in June 2013. I started One Non Runner as a way to document my journey to the London Marathon 2014, not only for myself but for family and friends who were interested as well (and so I didn't Facebook bombard about long run Sundays...though this one was a gem). Now that the marathon goal has been achieved, One Non Runner has fulfilled its role and I feel its time for a change (though my finger did hover above the 'apply changes' button for a second or two). 

Running is still a part of my life and will be for as long as I can put one foot in front of the other so will always be a part of this blog. However I also want to write about others things that I now have time to do since I'm not having to put one foot in front of the other for such a long distance anymore. 

I have been writing about a couple of non runner things for a couple of months now such as Pilates and Project Life so I felt that One Non Runner wasn't really reflecting my content anymore. Sadly theres no interesting story behind the name Oh Holly Gosh, I just liked it and it also happens to be my Twitter and Instagram handles. 

So what will I be posting about? My new tag line for Oh Holly Gosh is 'A little bit of everything, all rolled into one' (yes I stole the line from this lady) and that is exactly what it shall be. 

Goodbye One Non Runner...Hello Oh Holly Gosh...I hope you'll stay with me
