How I like give myself time/resting/Self care/listen to my body

Hello so it has been a while, so it feels writing a blog, I wanted to take a break and was little unwell but all good now and want to talk being a stylish mamma and this blog is about taking time for you. 

It is listening to your body needs and finding a breathable method if there are days that just too much. 

- Find a good book to read. I love reading have done since I was a kid and it is so important and it is my refuge and I love at summer time especially sitting outside in the garden reading good novel, and to keep my love of reading alive.

- Listening to signs of what your body is telling you. This helps with diet, if you need extra sleep and you need more time for yourself, and listening to your body and what it truly is craves is the way. 

- Break the days up in segments. I have talked about Block scheduling, it mixes the days up and doing different things happening through the day makes the days enjoyable, rather than worried about not having enough time. When you break the day up, it helps keep the momentum and gives you variety, because us humans thrive on variety in their life. 

- Plan your days so you can deal with the things you avoid. We can often get overwhelmed with life but having a weekly list, which I found works better for me, is how I make sure I can like above read a book, clean as I go about my day and pottering around is one thing I love to do, and it helps clear the clutter from the days, and give myself a break.

- Take a vacation. Now with Lockdown and COVID it hasn't been possible to but just a weekend nationally is still a holiday, so take the time.


To feel good about your days mix them up and one thing I do now as I update this blog post, is set challenges for me each month to help get things done, doing a bit a day takes the stress away.

Why I like my own mug

Hello sorry it has been a while since writing on this blog. If you didn't know I am doing a life coaching programme "The Summer Project 2023" and is helping you have a better year and happy life, check out my blog site: https://everyonecanbuildacastle.com   I have created videos that are on my main Youtube channel for this project and so check it here via this link:  typicallondongal  It is June 2023 and today whilst having my first cup of tea completed the first draft of my book and feels so good to have this done. Having my own mug helps with that and it just something that gives me comfort.  When working in offices you would be asked to have your own mug if you wanted a cup of tea and coffee and thought that this was such a good idea and it makes it a homely environment. Of course if you work in a supermarket not so good because eating and drinking in front of customer is unprofessional, but doesn't mean you can't bring your own mug use it when you take a break...

Finding a decent coffee

Image
I love having a my coffee each day and been trying to not buy coffee from a coffee shop all of the time and use the jars of coffee I have and has made a difference but will treat myself to a Costa Coffee for example, but not all of the time. If you add up the amount a coffee from a coffee shop costs it can really damage your bank balance.  I am choosy when it comes to coffee and Greggs for do a decent Latte and is out of a machine rather than a coffee maker, and is cheaper than a coffee shop.  When it comes to a cup of coffee you want it to be smooth and not bitter. Cafe Nero for example I find their coffee too strong and so will go for a Chai Latte or a Hot Chocolate.  They say that Coffee can cause Anxiety which I read in a book, but for me it is different and it wakes me up and find it fills me up, and have to have a cup. I have the Sainsbury's Freeze Dry Jar of coffee and is my favourite out of the others ones, and was once upon a time, would be Kenco but no, not now ...

Being 45 and growing

Image
 As a kid I felt uncomfortable about being a child, because I saw being an adult, it meant that you had more freedom than being a child. Being 45 seemed a long long milestone and now I am 45, gotten to a place where I am okay with my life, and that I have come a long way to feeling good about myself and that I am no longer fearful compared to when I was a kid. I did have a good childhood and feel very lucky with the things I have done through out it, like holiday's in Clacton and Menorca, and seeing shows up London and visits to London Zoo, Chessington Zoo before it became a Theme Park, and it was just the zoo, and getting my ears pierced up London and spent time seeing my grandparents.  There was a time I liked to go out all the time and meet friends for a drink and get plastered. Not so much now, and like having the odd drink, but no over do it. Its alright going out partying but you have to think about getting home safely and I think you become more protective especially be...
