Getting myself together

I have been really disciplined in that I sorting out my life at the moment, and today I am going through what I can do next, and going to clear some clothes away and have a total tidy and trying my hardest not to ignore it. 

This morning I checked the passed blogs on this site and made the changes to posts I wanted to edit, and delete those that aren't relevant anymore, before I wrote a new one. 

I have a cup of tea on the go and watching a Youtube video and feel super hot. I do like the summer but when it is so hot, I do feel I have a bit of a fight with my energy. I have a swollen eye due to having Hayfever and is getting to me. When you have a sort out, the way I stop putting it off, is to get it done. 

I write to do lists, and my planning does change a lot, because I get bored if I do the same thing everyday.

Just now I have written my 5 things I want to do today, yet have done some tasks already. I am still filming my day in a life this week, filmed my quarterly haul I like to do, and it was items from Poundland. 

I am getting my finances together so not going to be a Youtuber who films a haul each week, but when I do purchase new items, I will share them. 

Life it not about doing so much in one day. I am about being productive, but this includes taking a break, hydrating and spend time just pottering around, and getting items completed. 

So, there is more to come and thank you for being so supportive and love being part of the online community and I hope my blogs to reach out to you in a positive way and there will be more to come. 

Many thanks for reading,

Why I love my Pyjamas/My morning and evening routine

As I write this blog I am in my Choose Life T-Shirt and a grey pair of pyjamas and put them on as soon as I got in, and feels so good to just relax and write this blog, whilst listening to a podcast and feel so like "Yes it is good to be comfortable and chilled". 

I don't always do this, and have a glass of water to get myself ready for the next day. 

Before then though I like catching up on Youtube, and in the mornings get up and have my breakfast, which this week it is fruit bread and cup of tea. 

It has been said that you shouldn't go for comfort food and drinks, but I thrive on those and I love being snug as a bug. I like my coffee I have each day and then go for something fizzy, and yet to some this is wrong, "Well excuse me for living". 

I do have to monitor what I eat as I do end up not feeling too good hence why I will have water in the evening, and also I keep getting a dry mouth and dry lips and really does bother me, and it is good to have some water to drink before bed and when I wake up. 

Then once I am up I draw the curtains, got into making my bed again and shower and then get started with my day. 

I miss having a day in being in my pyjamas all day and binge on some good TV. Perhaps this can been arranged at some point. Will keep note and do some work in my pyjamas too. I just love taking it easy.

So I am now watching some Youtube and then will get into bed to end the day for the next one.

Feeling too organized/good habits/Being present

Today I have been out early again to buy another birthday and present, and wrapped them up. Now it is Christmas paper but using up what I already have and going to start a new habit, which I do keep doing but then failing it, USE UP WHAT I'VE GOT FIRST!

I have my son coming over today it is important for me to follow positive habits for my wellbeing. I need to know for my own sake, and his. I need to be present and not always dwelling on what I haven't done and what I want to do tomorrow. 

Yet I feel I am putting things off, example: I know I need to sort out my storage box, and putting things before that task, so I need to set a day for myself to do this, and get it done. 

It is the evening now and have my son staying with me for the week, and so tomorrow we are up London to see all the decorations for the Queens Jubilee, which I have not stopped talking about. I am really excited and is good to be alive, to see the celebrations taking place.

I want my son to see the celebrations, as these experiences in my opinion are important, so they can talk about it when they get older and remember what he did when this pinnacle moment took place. It makes me feel good being British, and what we have in this country. 

With everything that has happened in the last two years, it is good to be able to celebrate at last, rather than hearing bad news. It's gonna be good to see smiles on people's faces and having a good time. 

I am now ready for bed, and time to read my book and sleep. Thank you for reading my blogs in really means the world and there are many daily blogs coming, so good night. 

Many thanks for reading,

Getting ready for another week ahead/Simple positive habits I like to follow #mentalhealthweek

It is Monday again #mentalhealthweek and today it flew by and here I am in my evening clothes waiting to have some dinner and so I do have some positive habits when it becomes to a new week.

1. I always set an alarm later than the time I get up of a morning. This helps me to wake up early believe it or not and will play some music, along with taking a shower and start it off being cold, and then hot. I would like to take cold showers but I have to do this one step at a time. 

2. I have breakfast. I can't do anything in the mornings until I have my cup of tea and a bit of breakfast, even if it is cereal, but no longer have something too late in the evenings or late morning. This helps me to set up my day, and fueled. 

3. I walk each day. It is a distance between the high street to where I live and so use it to build up my steps each day. It is a great way to explore and get fit without needing the gym. 

4. Selfcare. Today I shaved my hair above my lip as it does effect my confidence and shower using lovely nice shower gel and tomorrow I want to shave my legs and the next day going to wash my hair. I like to look after myself and would recommend it. 

5. Get a good amount of sleep. I need 8 hours now and so make sure I get it. Often writing blogs, creating videos and work on book, and walking, etc tires me out so I now go to bed about 8 each night and get a good amount to be totally refreshed the next day.

What habits do you, please comment below.
