A-Z of Recovery: Just one step at a time

 Just one step at a time


January is that one month of the year when most people around the world collectively say "I'm going to loose weight", "I'm going to become a regular at my local gym", "I'm going to do" this and "I will do" that. We make such large decisions in the heat of the moment, with the best of intentions and yet the likelihood of us sticking to such drastic changes aren't very high.

Recovery is a lot like our New years Resolutions, we say that we are going to begin recovery and completely turn our lives around. the thing is, it's not that easy. We didn't start off life feeling or living the way that we are, the change to the negativity and illness took time, it took years to create the mindset that we are in so why should we think that altering it would be any different?

2017 blog goals


Last year I shared with you all some of the goals for my blog, and I'm pretty happy to say that I met most of the goals before the year was even out! For some bloggers, my goals may seem very small but I'e only been back blogging properly for a year so I am happy with how these goals are looking. Let's hope 2017 is our year!

rise and shine: Morning affirmations




Ever see those pictures of people waking up with a huge smile on their face and a sunny disposition?  Yeah it's a load of pants. I've always felt bad for not waking up in the morning and not being as "happy always larry". But that's completely okay because this is an unrealistic view of starting the day. If you're one of those people where this situation is actually a reality then that's honestly great, I'm glad you can naturally have a smile to start the day with. At the same time, if you're like me and you don't then that's completely okay too. I work hard to get myself in a good mood and motivated to start the day, it makes me feel empowered to know that I can have such a big impact on my day. One of the ways that I do that is to repeat affirmations to myself throughout the day. These start from a little while after I have woken up and continue throughout my day.

8 ways to have your best morning




I've made it one of my new goals to be much more mindful and take care of myself both physically and mentally. One of the ways I am going to do that is to make some improvements to my morning routine. Typically I drag my button out of bed, make myself a cup of tea and read before rushing upstairs to shower and get dressed and do typical morning activities. I'm always running out of time and I'm left feeling frazzled so it's time for a change. Here are some of the things that I'm going to do every morning...and some that I've researched into that could be potential ideas for the future!

'Me time'





So in such a modern world, it is very hard for us to find the time to take a step back from the constant rush of life and actually have some "me time". There is always something that we find to do, some last minute piece of work that you forgot or you are suddenly expecting company so you have to quickly get the house (or your room) in order, which then causes you to panic a little.
