A Few Random Thoughts - Feb 2017

Hi everyone, well it's been a while hasn't it, has anyone even noticed I don't know or has everyone been too busy with the start of this year going so fast already!  I was chatting to a friend the other night and I went to say to her, I can't believe we're half way through January already and then I thought hold on it's the 4^th of Feb today, like what, when did that happen!?!

This year so far, has been one big ball of stress, my sleeping pattern has been all over the place, even worse than usual and mine is pretty bad anyway!  And I just feel like I haven't even had time or chance to think about my own stuff, my health, my plans or my blog!  I started this year feeling so incredibly positive and hopeful and full of ambition but so far I literally feel like it's all been put on hold and the way things have been going, it's all been the opposite!

Admittedly, it's not been all bad, there's been a couple of things that have progressed and are looking good for the future and one big stress that started the year off with a big black cloud over my life, which hopefully (fingers crossed) is now clearing to let the light through again!

But in the midst of it all, I feel like I'm floundering, I don't know if I've taken too much on, I don't have enough time or energy to focus on the things I need to focus on and honestly, all I want to do right now is sleep, but I have SO many things I need to get done, and want to get done!!

Just because half my plans are on hold, I'm still feeling so ambitious and ready to take on the year.  I want to get back to blogging every week like I used to and I want to put my all in to the other couple of projects I've assigned myself to this year #2017goals!

So what's next you ask (and I constantly ask myself), one job at a time, that's what.  And as for the stuff that's not in my control, what's the good in worrying about it.  I've literally made myself ill with stress the last couple of weeks with several big stress-balls, one may hopefully be sorting itself out but as for the other, it's not for me to sort and even though it will affect my life and plans for my near future, all I can do is take one day at a time and concentrate on the things I can do something about!

I tell myself all this and I'm really desperately trying to stay positive. . . So far, it's not working out too well, but all I can do, all you can ever do is keep trying :-)

Until Next Time Stay Happy ♥

It's OK

Hi everyone, sometimes life gets hard, we struggle to fit everything in to our daily lives and I for one, get to the end of the day and often feel really disappointed and let down because I didn't get all my jobs done, I forgot to do something important or because I just felt too unwell, stressed or tired out to do it all.

There's so many quotes out there about pushing yourself, going outside of your comfort zone, being the best you can be etc, yet I feel sometimes we forget to just be ourselves, and if we're not perfect, we're not constantly pushing ourselves and striving to be better at everything in life, then that's ok.

Sometimes you just need to take a step back, take time to regroup and realise what's really important to you.  Take a minute and just breath!  Don't get over-whelmed by life and everything you have to cram into a day.  If you didn't get something done, is it really the end of the world?!  No.  You don't need to feel guilty.

Don't beat yourselves up because you didn't have time to get that laundry sorted or get that email written or finish that blog post!  Or maybe you just felt too tired or stressed, or because there was something else more important you had to do instead, and that's OK.

Being productive, being ambitious and striving to work hard is all great and yes do that when you can.  But sometimes you need a break, you need to stop worrying and stressing and not feel like you've failed or let anyone down.  You're only human and it's ok!
