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.
