True beauty comes from you

 

If you’re looking for beauty look within yourself first! Beauty always begins with you and will continue to be within you. There are times where we all forget how beautiful we are on the inside but that’s okay we are human. We can’t always be so upbeat! We get tired, ill, emotional, but all the great days of feeling beautiful will come back around quick! We have to appreciate ourselves and the life we have chosen to create in that moment. Plus being emotional and showing your feelings is beautiful as it shows you care, you love, you have space for growth. Showing your feelings is beautiful! You are human after all but we can still work on being the best version of ourselves as we can! You might have a cry but it’s a release of how you feel and that’s beautiful too! You as a person matter and how you feel is valid! If we try to hide who we are it will prevent the beauty from showing. Your beauty is beautiful if you are happy or showing you care. Plus showing your emotions helps strengthen your relationships, being vulnerable is beautiful it opens up understanding and empathy from others and from yourself. We can connect with others by showing our beautiful flaws and our beautiful personality. Your feelings matter and your happiness matters too! 

You hold so much beauty on the inside. Choosing to be  yourself is powerful! You are incredible as you are! Let your true self shine. Nobody is you and that is incredible as you are unique. Being yourself is your power and nobody can take that power away. Beauty always starts from within. Your mindset is a powerful tool! 

How amazing is it that we can create a beautiful life just from being our beautiful selves? 

What makes you beautiful on the inside? What beautiful qualities do you have? When you as yourself these questions you start to think actually yeah I have many beautiful qualities about myself and they are valid! 

Why not have a go at writing a list of the beautiful qualities you hold on the inside! The list you write will help you realise that you have so much beauty in you! 

Thank you greatly for reading this blog post

Take care

Nature is full of beauty

Hey guys it’s been a while since I last made a blog post! 

So how’s life been for you? What makes you proud? What have you achieved? What lessons have you learnt? What do you have gratitude for? Reflection is great for us all to do. Reflection helps us grow and put us on the right life path. 

I have learnt so much from life myself and since my last blog post I have grown a lot. I now have so much more achievements and gratitude for my achievements in life. There is so much to appreciate in life. 

Anyway!! I’m backkkkk!! Woooooo!!

I appreciate being outside with nature and going on beautiful adventures!

Isn’t it wonderful how we have such beauty around us? 

Nature is so wonderful and full of greatness!  To be outside with nature is something to have gratitude for! Like wow! We are super lucky to have the freedom to walk outside and be with nature! We have the choice to make the most of something that is free and good for our body, soul and mind! How incredible! We have the power to move and walk around such a positive environment. 

The sound of birds singing, the water flowing gracefully down the stream, the lovely smell of freshly cut grass, the incredible beauty of the flowers, the trees staying still, the beautiful landscape you see all while making you feel peaceful and calm. An environment to be take in the beauty and fill your heart with so much happiness and joy! That’s how it feels when you start with gratitude for where you are, what you see, what you feel and what you hear. 

 

The other day I was on a walk and I was in a field surrounded by nature. In that moment I felt free and very happy with where I was in that moment. To feel happiness it doesn’t have to be from anything big it could just be from being on a walk. Green grass, beautiful flowers, beautiful shaped trees, full of life and wildlife. Don’t forget the beautiful views you could sit and admire for hours! 

Walking through the beautiful woodlands with all of the endorphins flowing through your body, the energy you feel inside while your soul and mind are lit up by the beauty of endorphins and nature! There is nothing more you can ask for then to feel that happiness in that moment. The happiness of knowing you are doing good for your body, mind and soul are all things that make life meaningful when you work on your happiness for free. There are so many lovely views and places to visit and to walk. I’ve been enjoying walking around national trust some places in which you can visit for free. There are so many other places to go and walk too! 

I hope you find lovely places to walk that fill you with happiness! 

   Thank you for taking your time to read!

How to brighten up someone’s day

 

These days there’s a lot of darkness in the world! The world needs more brightness! It needs good and supportive people. So let’s make the world a brighter place!

Here are some ways you can brighten up someone’s day: 

Smile at them - 

If you walk past someone in the street a kind smile can mean a lot. It’s a lovely and Kind thing to do. It’s something I always do when I’m walking past someone ( I mean if I’m in a rush it can be difficult) but I try to. A simple smile can mean the world to someone else on that certain day. It’ll give them hope that there are lovely people out there. Remember to keep smiling yourself! Smile about all the little things you have and the great people you have around you! 

Let them know that you care - 

It doesn’t have to be much, it can simply be a “how are you?” Or “how can I help you?” Just taking a small amount of your day to show them that you care, can really brighten up someone’s day! Make sure to check up on friends and family! Even the ones that seem okay, they might not be! They might look happy on social media, but if you don’t ask them if they’re okay you won’t know. Social media doesn’t show the bad parts or how they’re feeling! Send them a little message every now and then. Make sure they’re okay. It could really brighten up their day! If you need to chat to someone tell them, they’ll listen and they’ll care! You’re always welcome to chat to me! I’ll listen to every word! I’m always happy to help!!

Give them a compliment - 

If someone looks great in an outfit, their hair looks pretty, they have a lovely smile etc. Tell them! Give them something to smile about! When someone had complimented me in the past, it made me feel great! If you think someone looks great, let them know! Make them feel good on the inside! ! It’s always the small things that are important. Light up their day! If you’re reading this I love your bright, amazing and sparkling smile! 

Make them feel like a somebody - 

Talk to them, ask them about their interests, their hobbies and what makes them happy. Tell them that they’ll be great at what they’re doing. Make them feel like they exist. Listen to what they have to say, sometimes someone just needs another person to listen. I’m sure they will remember chatting with you and it’ll make them smile. They will know that they are important in this world. I remember when I took my dog for a walk, I met a lovely women and her old dog. This women was so lovely and she listened to every word I said and that’s what I needed and it brightened up my day! I enjoy chatting to her on different days and I’m thankful to meet her and for her existence. You know, you do meet such lovely people when dog walking! Remember you are a somebody and you’re wonderful! 

Hope you keep smiling and help brighten up someone’s day! Keep passing on the brightness! 

Not giving up what you have already started

Giving up is never the option! Keep going and you will get to where you want. 

Let me tell you a story of how I didn't give up and got where I wanted. I always feel so proud of myself and so should you.

A few years ago I passed my driving test, but let me tell you it was not easy for me. It took me a long time to get to that pass and let me tell you why! When I first started driving I picked an instructor who charged a cheaper price and at the time I was still at school. I couldn't afford expensive lessons, I never asked my parents to pay and I only had a part-time job at the weekends. I am proud of myself as I paid for all my driving lessons, theory and driving tests. I took two driving tests which I will get onto! So I passed my theory test first time during the time started my driving lessons. The theory test went great and I was very happy with that. Next I had to learn how to drive. I started off down a country road and picked up the basics of driving. Then I started driving around villages and then onto the town. I had many lessons with the first instructor and decided that I'd take my driving test, I mean why not? Nope I was not ready to take the test. I didn't crash (which is a great thing) I just didn't know everything I needed to for the test.

So I decided that I had to look for another driving instructor. I contacted many driving instructors but a lot of them didn't have any spaces. Then one driving instructor got back to me and asked if I'd like some lessons. I was feeling great and ready to go and try again. So I had to start all over again and paid a bit more to learn again. I had struggled as I have dyslexia and I got my left and right confused. I also found it hard to take things in but I kept going. I had two hour lessons each week so I could get a lot in during each week. It's so great that my driving instructor was patient and understood that I struggled. That's what you need when you struggle a person with patience to help you get through it. I had to go over and over things again until I felt confident that I could do it. Like a lot of people I admit I did get frustrated with having to keep trying. I felt like I would never pass, how could I do that? I found it so difficult with my dyslexia and felt stressed from it. It felt like I was learning for many more years. Then the big day came, the week before my theory would run out. I decided I was ready two years later! I had a lot of nerves! I got in the car deep in concentration and it went so fast. Then I was told to park up and I realised that's where you park if you pass and I did! I could not believe it! I still can't now! I was one of my greatest achievements! You may not think it is but to me it is! I am proud of myself for getting through a hard time and smashing it. This is how I want you to feel. I do not want you to give up because it gets tough. You're a soldier, soldier on!

If you are finding things hard right now please don't give up on yourself. You've only lost if you give up. Don't give up keep trying and trying until you finally get there. It may take time maybe months or years but you will eventually get there. I passed my test and it took years but I was determined to get there, now you can do the same. It takes time, dedication, patience and your hard work to get there. Sometimes you may feel like giving up is the option but it is not! Keep trying many times! Everyone will have got somewhere from trying over again. You're not alone! Everyone fails, it is how you deal with it that's important. You can fall but then you can get back up again and try until you get there. You should always try no matter how many times you fail keep pushing on! In the future I will not let my clients give up on themselves or what they started. I will push them to reach all there goals even if it takes a long time, I will get them there! I will help them and I will be patient for them as I understand how tough things can feel.

Don't worry about how far ahead others are, just focus on your goals and where you would like to get. They may be ahead of you but in something else you may be a head of them, so don't worry life is not a race. When you feel comfortable to do a test, go for it. Don't worry about what others may say or think. At the end of the day it is your choice when you do things.

Remember don't give up on what you started and most importantly don't give up on yourself! Life is tough but so are you!

How you can stay healthy at work

If you are someone who works a 9-5 every week you will be very busy. You may find it difficult to maintain your work/health balance. Working in an office job means you will be sat down in an office for the most of your day. You health is always very important. Looking after your health will help you manage any work stress you might have. You will have a better immune system and you will be able to focus more at work. Following these healthy tips will help you have positive impacts on your health and reduce the negative impacts.

Here are some healthy tips to help you stay healthier during your working week:

Eat a healthy lunch

Plan what you will eat for dinner at the start of each week and make sure you have the food you need for that week. If you take lunch to work prepare it the night before. You don't want to eat unhealthy food all the time. Preparing your own lunch is much cheaper and you can make your lunch a lot healthier. Make sure you get a healthy balanced diet. If you prepare a healthier lunch you will feel a lot better and you will have a lot more energy to get you through the day.

Keep hydrated during the day

Always keep hydrated! Make sure you get enough of it. You don't want to be dehydrated and tired at work. Make sure you have a bottle of water on your desk that you regularly drink from and make sure to top it up again. When you fill your water bottle up or get up to get a drink every now and then, it helps to get some steps in. It is better for your health to balance sitting down and standing up each day. Make sure you stay hydrated throughout your day!

Get a good amount of sleep during your working week

Sleep is very important to help your body rest and recover from each day. Having poor sleep will make things worse. You should at least get 8 hours sleep each night. Enough time for your body to function again the next day. You can make sure you go to bed and get up at a certain time during your working week. Having set times you go to sleep will help your body adjust to the sleep routine. Having a good amount of sleep will help improve your mood too.

Plan a healthy routine for your work week

Plan what time you will get up in the morning before work. Make sure you get a good breakfast. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. So make sure you have it! Make time to look after your health during your busy work days. Don't forget about your health even when you have a busy life. Making a healthier routine will help you stay focused and keep you working harder.

Keep active always

Plan your workout or days you will go to a group class. Write down what days you plan to workout and what you will work on. For example one day you might work on your legs and another day you might work on your cardio. Planning these workouts will help you to stick to a routine each week. But don't be afraid to change your workouts, changing them will stop your body getting use to the same workout. If you are going to plan a workout for each week, make sure you try doing a workout 3-4 times a week for an hour each day you workout. If you don't have the time to do an hour, don't worry! You can still try a 20 minute workout if you don't have a full hour free. It is better to do a workout even if it is short than not doing one at all. Make sure you get up and get active during your busy week!

 At the end of the day your health is very important and you should always take care of it.

Hope this will help you stay healthier at work!

Five ways to deal with your stress

Everyone's felt stressed or may experience stress at some point in life. Stress is no good for the body. There are things you can do to help relieve that stress. It's important that you put your health first. 

Here are a few things you can do to help relieve stress:

Going for a walk

Get you walking boots or shoes on and go for a relaxing walk whether you live in the countryside or a city going for a walk is simple. It's something that can help you cool down literally (if you live in the UK during the winter) a chance to get some fresh air and think without anyone around you. Sometimes you just need your own time to breathe and think.

Stretching

Stretching can help prevent any injuries before you start exercising. It can help improve your posture. It is also great for stress and can help you focus on your body. You can do some stretching 2-3 times per week. For each stretch you can hold for about 10-15 seconds. You will feel good after you stretch and it can help you feel a lot calmer. Don't forget to stretch before your workout and after your workout!

Eating better

Make sure you are eating a balance diet. Plan your meals for the week, so you eat better and have the food ready to cook. Make sure you get your three meals a day and include some fruit and vegetables. This will help improve your immune system and help you feel stronger when you feel stressed.  Make sure you get your daily fuel!

Exercising

Exercise is great for stress. It takes you away from what is stressing you out and helps improve your mood. Once you have done a bit of exercise even if it's 10 mins or an hour you will feel less stressed and more happy. Get yourself out of the house and away from any stressful situations. You can go for a run to help you feel better. Always make sure that you keep hydrated during your workout. You don't want a headache as well! Make sure you push that stress away! So get up and get moving!

Sleeping enough

It's so important that you get enough sleep to help repair you brain. Sleep is just as important as eating a balanced diet. A good amount of sleep will help you stay focused and improve your mood. You will wake up feeling more refreshed when you get the right amount of sleep. Sleep will help strengthen your immune system during those stressful times to. You should get about 8 hours sleep each night. Your mind and body need to rest to prepare you for the next day.

I hope this has helped!
Don't forget to take care of yourself during those stressful times!
