Next up in my Disney quotes for Mindfulness series is Aladdin. This is my all time favourite Disney film and I can't believe I haven't written this post sooner.

Mindfulness really helped me through my postnatal depression. Focusing my mind on reflection helped to calm me down and bring me back into the moment when I was struggling. 

Here are 15 Aladdin quotes for Mindfulness:

1) But oh, to be free. To be my own master. Such a thing would be greater than all the magic and all the treasures in all the world



2) Just 'bee' yourself 

3) I'm like a shooting star, I've come so far. I can't go back to where I used to be

4) I am not a prize to be won

5)  A fool off his guard, could fall and fall hard

6) You've got some power in your corner now

7) I'm not worthless 

8) A whole new world with new horizons to pursue


9) Do you trust me?

10) I do love you, but I gotta stop pretending to be something I'm not

11) You ain't never had a friend like me

12) What would you wish for?


13) I can open your eyes

14) I'm in the mood to help you dude

15) For the first time in my life, things are starting to go right





Being a working mum can be pretty tiring and rather stressful. I constantly seem to be busy. If i'm not washing clothes or taking the kids somewhere then I am working a long 10 hour shift. Not only that I suffer with Post Natal Depression (PND). You can read one of my posts here, This is PND for me. I've openly discussed my PND journey across my social media so if you're a regular reader you will know that I am not very good at putting myself first and indulging in self care. I am getting better at it and I now able to recognise when I am becoming burnt out and overwhelmed before it is too late.

I was delighted when John Lewis Cardiff invited me to join them for a well-being Yoga morning. Knowing how busy i've been, this sounded exactly like the mummy me time I needed. 



John Lewis is aiming to promote and improve the well-being of its customers by providing a one stop shop for everything you need to relax, destress and indulge in some TLC. Whether that's with a makeover, a hand and arm massage, a shopping trip with a personal stylist, some new gym equipment or simply a coffee and a cake, they aim to maximise your mood.

I was gifted with a fantastic new gym kit from John Lewis and Shock Absorber of a top and cropped trousers to wear to the Yoga Class. I've never tried their gym range before and I must admit I haven't taken them off since. The trousers are very comfortable and supportive. 

The Yoga class was a small, intimate class led by local instructor Lorraine. The room was beautifully set and I immediately felt calm and relaxed. The session lasted around 45 minutes and I really enjoyed it. I'm not the most flexible person but it certainly cleared my mind. It was a great way to start the day.


I was then treated to a healthy breakfast in the John Lewis restaurant along with some refreshing fruit tea's whilst watching a demonstration of the Nutri Bullet.

My pampering didn't end there. I was then given a lovely hand and arm massage by the ladies from Liz Earle. I'm a big fan of their products, especially their cleansing hot cloth. The products they used smelt amazing.

I really enjoyed my morning of well being. It helped to remind me to look after myself and practice mindfulness too. I came away from the event feeling positive and ready to take on the day. 


You can check your local store for a list of their events here, What's on.

*Thank you to John Lewis Cardiff for inviting me to the well-being event and gifting me a goody bag. All views and opinions are my own and as always are truthful*
