3 Positive Things That Happened During A Relatively Negative Week

Despite a somewhat negative week, I always enjoy being able to look back and remind myself of the positives and as usual, there were plenty.

Spending time with family

I started the week off well. I had breakfast with my brother and we had a good catch up, then I went to see my parents and sat in the garden with them. I don’t see my family as much as I would like to, so when I do I really cherish it.

A girls night

It feels like forever since I’ve seen any of my friends, so I was so excited to get out of the house and go round to my friends for dinner on Wednesday. We hardly stopped talking and it was a welcome break from the thoughts whirring around my head.

Updating my vision board

I haven’t been happy with my vision board since I updated it a few months ago, it felt all over the place and cluttered, just like my head. So giving that a much needed update as well as using it as an excuse not to do something else made me feel better.

I’m really looking forward to some cosy days in my sanctuary now the weather is cooler. I love autumn 🍂

What went well for you last week? ❤️

3 Positive Intentions I'm Setting This Week To Improve My Life

Daily Walks

This week, I want to get back into the habit of going for a daily walk. I have always enjoyed a walk in the morning and the routine I have now will allow me to combine a morning walk with other things and keep me fit at the same time.

Survey

Now I am trying to juggle a few different things, it’s time for me to review how I run my blog page, which means I will be sending out another anonymous survey to see what my readers do and don’t want to see from me and see how I can improve.

Website

I want to set up a separate website for my freelancing work. After much deliberation, I have decided to keep my freelancing separate from the blog and can use some of my better work from there on my freelancing site.

What are your intentions for this week? ❤️

Help With Confidence, Tips For Anxiety & How To Avoid Putting Things Off

If you follow one person on Instagram to improve your life

Make it James Smith. I just had to share this post from him last week, it was something I really needed to see so I'm sure others will too. James will not only teach you a lot about exercise, but also about mindset and personal growth.

I'm excited to get started on his third book How to be confident this week.

If you’ve been avoiding doing those important tasks

Read this article from Lifehack. There are some great strategies to help with procrastination and I can definitely use some help with that, so I’ll be putting some of these into place through this week.

If you want some tried and trusted tips to reduce stress and anxiety

Stylist has this article packed with great tips on how others reduce their stress and anxiety. My anxiety has been pretty bad this week so I was grateful for this.

If you love a good wedding

Watch Married At First Sight UK I'm so excited that it's finally back on our screens!

As expected, the drama starts fairly quickly at the end of this week we have seen quite a few weddings already, with more drama to unfold next week.

If you love looking at beautiful houses

Netflix is now showing the sister program of Selling Sunset. The Oppenheimer group branched out to Orange County, bringing us Selling The OC which means more drama and more beautiful houses. The house with the retracting roof is amazing!
