(Blue Lagoon, Latchi, Cyprus)
This blog has
been of to such a rubbish start! I think it's been nearly half a year or more since I last posted on here! there always seems to be something I find to do
that takes up my time. It’s not even things that are really worthwhile, and
mostly I have been lazy :/
So I am very lucky to have recently
returned from a trip to Cyprus. As I was away from my home/work routines and
anxieties, I felt like I got back to being me. All of things that crowd my life
at home had completely crowded my mind, and my stress levels had got so high,
because I put unnecessary pressure on myself to do things before doing any
activities I enjoy.On the plane home and a few days at the
end of my holiday, I was so stressed about returning back to normal home life,
and couldn’t stop thinking about all the things that make it feel rubbish; like
the car drive commute to and from work, traffic, mess in my flat, washing up,
cleaning clothes, ironing and all of the monotonous things that I have created
routines for so that they get done every week. A routine that I loath, not
making time for the things I want to do like this blog. So I started to problem solve my
anxieties, and I wrote down loads of solutions to my personal ‘problems’ to
make daily life a little bit more worth living. I have also reorganized my time
so that I have at least one day a week to concentrate on my blog.
A little while before I went away, I
made quite a nice looking personal goals mood board sort of thing, that I
created using images of things that inspire me. I had sort of forgotten about
it, and was reminded when I returned from my holiday and randomly turned on my
laptop, and saw it as my desktop background. I was kind of gutted that I had
forgotten about it, but since returning, I feel really motivated to do
something about it. And as soon as we can afford a printer, I would like to
have it out somewhere I can permanently see.
I want to share my ideas and experiences
on here, not only for others to see, but also as something that will keep my
goals moving forward and keep me motivated.
I welcome your comments and feedback and
be nice as I am new to this!
Thanks for reading
