ABOUT

LIFESTYLE YORKSHIRE is a lifestyle blog written by me, Olivia featuring my LOVES in life, mostly from the very beautiful place we live, Yorkshire.

The photographs I take and posts I write are places and things I’ve discovered and am genuinely excited about.  Born and raised in Yorkshire, UK this blog naturally features places close to HOME but whatever the post, it always showcases things close to my HEART.

It is bold, it is vivacious and it loves LIFE!

…

Thanks for stopping by; I’d love to hear from you, what kinds of features you’d like to read etc so just leave a little message below and let’s connect!

Monday down🙌🏻. It’s all about the lists this week: ✔️cards list ✔️present list ✔️food list ✔️work list ✔️to-do’s list ✔️things to remember list Yes, it’s a busy time of year but you’d be surprised how even the smallest acts of kindness can lighten the load for someone else. . • Today whilst queuing with about 35 other people at the post office today, I snook in 2 elderly ladies ahead of me (and everyone else behind me )😂 Small thing but boy were they thankful as I was nearly at the front and they’d have had such a wait (see stories). . • Paying it forward on purpose with random acts of kindness doesn’t have to cost us! Can be the smallest of things and is definitely something I’m going to do mindfully this week who’s with me? 👊🏻 . . . #grannylove #queuejumper #soulfood #balance #mentor #lifementor #gratitude #dales #slowliving #photography #outdoors #countryside #scenery #potd #autumn #wellbeing #love #Yorkshire @welcometoyorkshire #yockenthwaite #monday
Friday night and I’m writing the last INSIGHTS for my A Place Within subscribers for the year. It’s not another TO-DO, I have LOVED writing this today. . • Now I know it’s 🥂 o’clock and most of you are probably celebrating the weekend but if you’d like to receive this & future emails once a month BECAUSE you’re committed to being intentional about living 2019 as a balanced human, then pop your email address in the link in my profile. . • I value each and every person who has chosen to journey with me; those who have taken the time to sign up deserve the best of my thought attention and so that’s what I’m spending my Friday night doing because holidays are comin’🎄and time is a flyin’. Here’s to a cracking weekend people. 🙌🏻 . . . #sunrise #aplacewithin #growthmindset #balance #life #body #soul #personaldevelopment #personalgrowth #femaleboss #wellbeing #wholeness #youmatter #grow #personalpower #lifementor #bestlife #lifecoach #livewell #ilkley #Yorkshire #countryside #livingmybestlife #success #inspiration #coaching #selfhelp
A fine dining experience is an opportunity to take ones time to savour, to consciously partake in an experience that for the most part in our lives is an otherwise rather hurried affair. . • FORGE at @middletonlodge is one such experience, it’s just opened and now features on the RESTORE page of the website.

This morning I enjoyed my cardio with a friend new to my world in 2018, the formidable Lyndsey of @girlaboutyorkshire. . 💡We spoke about finding balance whilst also gunning for greatness. . 💡How do you do what lights you up whilst getting to grips with parts of life you don’t love so much? . 💡In a world where AUTHENTICITY is the new kale, do we even know to which self we should be true? . • I love great questions and strong conversation that doesn’t seek to put the world to rights but to maybe lift the lid off some of our thought containers. . • Uugh it gets the good fire in me going does all that🔥👊🏻.. • Dots & connections, that’s why we’re all here. ✨ . . . #soulfood #trektuesday #aplacewithin #walk #hike #gratitude #growthmindset #balance #life #body #soul #personaldevelopment #personalgrowth #femaleboss #wellbeing #wholeness #youmatter #grow #personalpower #lifementor #bestlife #lifecoach #livewell #Ilkley #Yorkshire #moors #countryside #livingmybestlife
What a humbling way to start to the week, hiking on the moors at 8.15am to find this sunrise nestling behind the Cow and Calf rocks (more on stories). . • My options first thing were to crack on with work for a few hours then hike, or walk then work. I chose the latter in favour of being out when the sun rose. . • I did not expect this and once again found myself in awe at the privilege we have of living where we do, and the peace in which we find ourselves that so many in this world are without. . • Sending my very best for a good week.✨ . . . #farfromthemaddingcrowd #soulfood #monday #aplacewithin #gratitude #growthmindset #balance #life #run #walk #body #soul #sunrise #personaldevelopment #personalgrowth #femaleboss #wellbeing #wholeness #youmatter #grow #personalpower #lifementor #bestlife #lifecoach #livewell #Ilkley #Yorkshire #moors #countryside #livingmybestlife
There is a part of our self we don’t find until we are completely alone... when the only vibration returning to the space we occupy, is a reflection of solely ours. . . . #farfromthemaddingcrowd #soulfood #sunday #aplacewithin #weekend #gratitude #growthmindset #balance #life #run #walk #body #soul #personaldevelopment #personalgrowth #femaleboss #wellbeing #wholeness #youmatter #grow #personalpower #lifementor #bestlife #lifecoach #livewell #Ilkley #Yorkshire #moors #countryside #livingmybestlife
On Tuesday I had the privilege of attending the pre-opening of the new restaurant at @middletonlodge: FORGE. Utterly delectable, it is an experience like no other serving food foraged on the estate, a collaboration between the chefs, estate gardeners and local farming community. It will feature on the ‘Restore’ page of the A Place Within, just as soon as I can get to editing the pics and writing the post amidst other seasonal shenanigans! For now, I’ll leave you with this little chap who was right outside the door as I left for the day. I not know who was more shocked, he or I. All the best to the team at Middleton for whom today is their first open to the public🙌🏻 @forgeatmiddletonlodge
“Terrible, absolutely horrible, miserable, horrendous!”... just some of the words used in conversational exchange to describe todays rain. . • Disclaimer: I judge NO ONE because ‘freakin’ awful’ is more-than-likely a phrase to come from my lips not too long ago and yet I have increasingly become aware of the power of our language to REDUCE DRAMA in our life. . • The language we use to describe a situation, circumstance, or experience, becomes the narrative of how we respond at a cellular level. Our body does not know the difference between perceived danger and an actual threat so when we use strong language such as ‘nightmare’ (traffic), or ‘absolute train wreck of a day’, our stress levels rise to match our language. . • Should we stick a positivity plaster on what we really think and feel? Hell no, I’m all one for calling it like it is, but when we dial down our verbal assessment, we reduce the drama felt by our whole being which affects everything we come into contact with there after 🙌🏻. Try it this week and see if your experience of your experiences changes. . . . . #aplacewithin #growthmindset #balance #life #body #soul #personaldevelopment #personalgrowth #femaleboss #wellbeing #wholeness #youmatter #grow #personalpower #lifementor #bestlife #lifecoach #livewell #Burnsall #Yorkshire #countryside #livingmybestlife #success #inspiration #coaching #selfhelp
