Ana Johnson, PhD.

Best picks of movies and shows to watch with young men (sons) and girlfriends! Remember the popcorn 🍿! The shows are also a source for great inspiration for my writing and the workshops I hold (www.anajohnsonauthor.com).

Where I turn to for fitness (+accessories), mindfulness, nutrition, and fun! I love exercising and being outdoors. They bring me back to nature, our nature (www.anajohnsonauthor.com). Here are my favourites for walking, hiking, running, tennis, biking, weight training, skiing, and mindfulness (moving meditation, tai chi and strength training qigong). I also have to look after the body, so use heating pads for soreness, go for acupuncture and deep tissue massage. I use healthy creams for any injuries. For nutrition, here are my favourite protein powders and electrolytes to keep up with running, tennis, strenght training, and biking. Don’t forget the running/walking companion (Dalmatian 🐶)!

Do you ever wonder about being happy, content? All the time? I listen to audiobooks and sages a lot (on repeat at times), and read books. Always something on the go. I write and facilitate writing and mindfulness workshops. They help me process life (www.anajohnsonauthor.com).

I have sensitive eyes, skin, gums, and fine hair, so need to be careful which products to use, and where I go for their care. Here is what works for me. For make up, I only tend to wear it if I’m doing a poetry reading or photo shoot (www.anajohnsonauthor.com).

I like frequenting cafes and restaurants that have healthy food and great ambience. I hold writing workshops at cafes (www.anajohnsonauthor.com), so looking for great drinks and food. I have two young men (sons) who are very sporty and eat a lot, so looking for restaurants that offer tasty foods, stay open late and offer sizeable portions! Don’t forget ice cream 🍦 🍨 (I can have it up to once a week before my stomach feels funny!)
