Both sound a bit dry I have to admit that myself. But don&#8217;t get fooled by the titles, the fun comes when you go a bit deeper.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Because what both of them actually want to help us with is to take time to connect more to ourselves. To make time to explore new things, to keep our mind moving in various directions. They are supporting us to find something that makes us curious, brings joy, stimulates and inspires.<\/p>\n<p>For me, books play a big part in that. I like to take time to read, sometimes longer, sometimes just a few pages in between. Sometimes I read just for fun, at other times to get inspired and to learn more about certain topics. And books allows us to connect to most wellness aspects in a simple way, too.<\/p>\n<p>In the past I was a \u201cone-book-at-a-time\u201d person. But I can\u2019t keep that up anymore. There are too many subject and topics out there that are interesting. And as a bedtime read I definitely need something easy. And yes I still do like a nice love story.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>When time allows during daytime I take a book during lunch break or before I pick up my youngest. That allows me as well<em> to transition<\/em> from what I did before to slowing down and preparing for the kids&#8217; afternoon.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>At other times I grab a more \u201ceducational&#8221; book after the kids went to bed, just 30min before I turn on the TV for example. This moment, when the house gets quiet&#8230;the candle is on and a glass of wine (or a cup of tea) and some chocolate waiting for me on the table, soft music in the background. Oh, how I cherish this moment!<\/p>\n<p>Looking at my pile of books right now, it represents my mind these weeks. It has been spinning in all directions and it shows in the variation of books that I have touched. Some for fun, others for group discussions and inspiration. And then some in the hope to achieve a better understanding of the upcoming teenage-years that are quickly approaching in my household.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>And if you got curious, THIS is what my pile looks like these days.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_7320\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7320\" style=\"width: 279px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"7320\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/findingyourease.com\/connecting-wellness-and-books\/books\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/findingyourease.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/books.jpg?fit=1019%2C1280&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1019,1280\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Books for inspiration\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;Books for inspiration &lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Books for inspiration &lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/findingyourease.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/books.jpg?fit=815%2C1024&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"wp-image-7320\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/findingyourease.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/books.jpg?resize=279%2C350&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Books for inspiration \" width=\"279\" height=\"350\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/findingyourease.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/books.jpg?resize=239%2C300&amp;ssl=1 239w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/findingyourease.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/books.jpg?resize=768%2C965&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/findingyourease.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/books.jpg?resize=815%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 815w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/findingyourease.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/books.jpg?w=1019&amp;ssl=1 1019w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 279px) 100vw, 279px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-7320\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Books for inspiration<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>They are not all on a pile though, usually,\u00a0they are spread out in the house and some you may find in a bag that I take with me.<\/p>\n<p>Not all these books are new.

I'm Ann-Katrin. I spend more than 16 years overseas and currently call Muscat, Oman home. Over the years I got inspired to support and guide others who feel a bit lost or overwhelmed, especially when living abroad. I do that with this blog, local small-sized Yoga \\\/ fitness classes, meditation and coaching. No matter how I connect, it's all set up to bring a sense of ease to the reader, participant or client. After all, life is kind of a rollercoaster ride and pushes us around. And whether you move around or not it can feel overwhelming at times, no? A bit more about myself - I have three kids that keep me busy and on my toes. I love to meet and exchange thoughts and experiences with others across the globe. And Yoga, cardio workouts and meditation are my go-to to keep (and at times find) my own ease I hope you find this page a source of inspiration to feel relaxed and inspired - or simply put \\\"at

I'm Ann-Katrin. I spend more than 16 years overseas and currently call Muscat, Oman home. Over the years I got inspired to support and guide others who feel a bit lost or overwhelmed, especially when living abroad. I do that with this blog, local small-sized Yoga \/ fitness classes, meditation and coaching. No matter how I connect, it's all set up to bring a sense of ease to the reader, participant or client. After all, life is kind of a rollercoaster ride and pushes us around. And whether you move around or not it can feel overwhelming at times, no? A bit more about myself - I have three kids that keep me busy and on my toes. I love to meet and exchange thoughts and experiences with others across the globe. And Yoga, cardio workouts and meditation are my go-to to keep (and at times find) my own ease I hope you find this page a source of inspiration to feel relaxed and inspired - or simply put \"at ease\"!","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/expatease","https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/expat_ease\/?hl=en"]}]}},"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/findingyourease.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/book-featured-im.jpg?fit=750%2C404&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p8ZGLH-1U3","jetpack_likes_enabled":false,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/findingyourease.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7319","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/findingyourease.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/findingyourease.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/findingyourease.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/findingyourease.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7319"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"https:\/\/findingyourease.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7319\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7330,"href":"https:\/\/findingyourease.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7319\/revisions\/7330"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/findingyourease.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7322"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/findingyourease.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7319"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/findingyourease.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7319"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/findingyourease.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7319"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
