Hello Earthbugs,
I thought I would write a post today about the little changes that I'm making in life to help me enjoy what I'm doing more, be more productive and be a bit healthier. By writing this post now it gives me a few months to continue with what I'm doing and then I'm going to review it at the beginning of 2019, that is a little bit scary to say because it really isn't that far away.
It's a bit mad how I only really have one month left of being off before I return to university for second year, I had this huge to do list of things that I wanted to do before then and it's safe to say, that's been blown out the window. Instead I'm just going to continue making little changes when I feel necessary and not limit it to a strict timescale.
One thing I have set myself a time limit on though is to sort my room out before I go back to uni and declutter and get rid of clothes (to buy more obviously) and make sure I have all my big jumpers ready to wear in autumn. Side note, I am very excited for how quick autumn is coming around!
Okay so first things first, fitness and health. I feel like this is a big deal for me, as I've mentioned in previous posts I'm not the most confident about my weight but I make it worse because then I eat lots of crap to make myself feel better and ultimately feel worse. But I'm learning to accept myself in a new way, if I fancy some cake or chocolate or whatever junk food I may fancy then I will have it but I am incorporating more fruit into my diet and trying to eat proper meals. I've also attempted a couple of the 30 day fitness challenges which have currently failed because I forgot, then I injured myself, then I forgot again and now here we are. I'd like to continue with that as I felt quite proud as I was increasing the exercise I was doing. I'd also like to start up running again, when I was doing it in May time it was great because I could tell that day by day I could run a little bit further than before, so I'd definitely like to start that again.
Routine is a big thing for me as well, I'd like to get into a night time routine because normally I'm rushing, then I'm on my laptop late or looking at screens late and I'm just wide awake so I'm trying to read before bed now for a bit. Onto my next point, I'm developing a bit of a morning routine as well which includes cuddles with my dog, giving the dog food and being watched by the dog as I eat my Weetabix. I have to say, I do enjoy a routine.
Creativity is another big one. For me, I really really love being creative and if you have read this blog for a while now then you'll have probably realised that. I've started getting some ideas together for various hand made Christmas presents, I've knitted myself a hat, I've cross stitched a cat. I love it because the more things I do, the more ideas I get and then combine that with Pinterest and I'm well away. I've also managed to find inspiration to start writing, nothing too big but a bit separate to the blog and I'm thoroughly enjoying it.
This update hasn't been a particularly long one but I just wanted to document my current thoughts towards my approach to life so I can look back soon.
Thank you for reading,
Until next week!
