2024 in brief......


 This is the last blog for this year, 2024, I  having some well deserved down time from my business over Christmas, and everything that I do takes time and energy, and you don't want to be reading my boring old blogs over Christmas do you?

I also recently launched a podcast, which takes even more time to prepare and get out there, I really do like to make a lot of hard work for myself don't I? Well, it is only me in my business and someone has to do it!

How has your year treated you? Can you go through the highs and lows of the year, look at what you have been good at? Lessons you have learned, what you would never do again?

Here are a few of mine, although this year has been an epic year!

Lessons learned......

Don't take on too many extra work things in one go. Be successful in the newest project before launching another.

Don't spread yourself too thinly, focus on the basics.

WINS.........

Learned how to be a radio presenter and now have my own show!

Launched a new podcast.

Got a lot more new clients in the local community.

Helped an amazing amount of people with their mental health, seen great progress, making it all worthwhile.

Finally got my van fixed!

CHANGES......

Retired from marathon running!

More time for meditation and yoga, the gentler stuff!


And these are just a few of the things that have happened in 2024, and of course I celebrated a whole year married, which has been superb. Ryan deserves a medal for putting up with me sometimes!

I am going to take a few days off over Christmas, I have a cunning plan for my business for 2025 and I can't wait to get started on it, but I do need a little break first. Time to catch up with my family, especially my Mum who is staying for Christmas. I also need to prepare myself for my 50th Birthday in January! Yep!

So what has your year been like? What have you planned for 2025? Let me know.
Have a great Christmas and a a superb start to 2025.

How ditching the booze can create a 'Happily Ever After!'

  On Saturday 20th July 2024 me and my husband will be celebrating one whole year of marriage. It's a wondrous thing, especially as I didn't even believe that true LOVE existed four years ago. How on earth did that happen? I can tell you, well part of the story at least, the other part was that I hadn't yet met my soulmate, but the journey began before I met Ryan, it was how I got to know myself. For most of my life I have struggled with self-belief. I wasn't confident growing up, although seemingly, on the surface I appear to have all the confidence of a big CAT on the prowl, in reality, it was all just a big ACT. I have battled with an eating disorder, then once I had tamed that beast (sort of) alcohol became my friend (or so I thought). I didn't have to face up to the reality of who I was and where I was going when I was in the pub with my 'so called friends.' It was escapism. It couldn't last forever if you want to live a long, happy and healthy life...

Get rid of unwanted stress.

 How well do you manage stress? Are you one of those chilled out people who breeze through life not worrying about things? Or are you constantly on edge wondering how to resolve the next stressful situation? Stress is a natural part of life, but the more advanced we have become, the more we have to worry about. When previously all we had to worry about was hunting our next meal and making sure we had enough heat and water for the family, that would have been stress enough, but now we have endless lists of things to worry about. Have I done the right thing at work? Have I paid the rent? Is the car working properly? Has the dog has its vaccinations? Is Auntie Beryl okay as I haven't heard from her? Have the kids got the right technology so they don't get beaten up at school? Am I wearing the latest fashion so that I will fit in? Have I got enough money for food for the next week?  The list is seemingly endless and these little stresses all build up over time, eventually leading ...

Nostalgia!

Image
  TODAY would have been my wonderful Dad's Birthday, he would have been 78 years old, sadly he passed away at only 54 years old, from a brain tumour. He was ridiculously fit, ate well, did all the good things, but sadly that didn't stop him from getting poorly.  NOW, that doesn't mean, 'well I may as well do all the bad things if that can happen!' It doesn't work like that. You STILL need to do ALL the good things, good nutrition, exercise, proper sleep, laughter, all the things. Then you can guarantee a quality life, no matter how long it is. THIS week on my MINDFULNESS MONDAY post on social media, I spoke about nostalgia. It was my husband's birthday on Monday, and I was also thinking of my Dad's birthday too. Then it got me thinking about birthdays in the past, how they were celebrated, and all the fun we had. I like to visit the past from time to time, I don't like to live there, to dwell there, but I like to remind myself of the good things, and...
