Back to reality!

After completely neglecting my beloved blog I have decided to start blogging twice a week from now on, I may even decide to blog on certain days but we'll see!

After a very sunny, eventful holiday I have decided to try and reintroduce some order and routine into my busier than ever life! But this is what I call living!

I am starting to become more proactive rather than spending time laying around when I get home from work as I've learnt there's not enough hours in the day! For example tonight when I got home I spent time with my family, went for a run because it makes me feel so much better and allows me to clear my mind, then I showered and made my dinner (sweet potato, cheese & beans!) I am now writing this blog post and just catching up on social media.

A pre run selfie, believe me I was so sweaty after

Although I decided not to broadcast my GCSE results on Facebook I wanted to share the fact that I am so proud of them, after putting in so much time to revise and dealing with exam nerves- I did it! 2 A*'s, 2 A's, 1 B, & 4 C's! Yay, what you put in really does pay off! When mum told me my results over the phone (as I was on holiday) I was literally so happy.

I am starting the gym when pay day comes round so I will keep you updated with progress and how I get along, as well as my running that I started again today!

I am sorry for the random holiday photos scattered throughout this blog post, it's just me sharing holiday pics and my thoughts at the same time!

On my holiday my good luck struck and my brand new go-pro broke, it has filled with water despite being 'fully waterproof' so all the good footage got deleted, including the video of me jumping off the big rock and cutting my toe- all for the vlog...and because my 5 year old half brother did so I kind of had to!

This is a cool picture that I saved from the Go pro footage! I think it's pretty cool, hence why I'm only exchanging the broken go pro and not taking it back!

So after a little catch up and my first blog post in almost a month I will leave it here, my next blog post will be a proper one and not just my jumbled thoughts!

5 things for those down days!

Everyone has those days where you just feel absolutely rubbish, unmotivated and down, lets face it those days are inevitable as no one can be happy 100% of the time and if someone says they are or tries to act like they are then they're faking happiness..

I thought I would share 5 things/tips that can help you get through those dreaded days and hopefully make you feel a little better.

1. Go for a nice bath, give yourself some time to relax and once you are out put on a good play list and do your hair, makeup or just put on some nice clothes- I find that this makes you feel better about yourself and that instantly improves your mood (In my opinion)

2. Try and get out of the house, whether it's to meet with some friends or going for a relaxing walk on your own, getting out is essential for improving your mood and mind set! If you stay in you'll only feel rubbish and have more time to feel down.

3. Make yourself some nice food and get a nice beverage, If you can, try and reach for something healthy like a chicken salad or some nice pasta, if you eat crap then it will reflect on your mood and your body- only making you feel worse! My go to drinks are normally peppermint tea, camomile tea or some water with ice and lemon, I am aware these aren't to everyone's tastes however they are amazing for your health and great for relaxing.

4. Exercise! Releasing good endorphins through exercise is a great way to lighten your mood and get you motivated, It doesn't have to be anything drastic, a little jog around the village or taking your dog on a walk will do! If you feel hesitant towards exercising then just go for it, you will feel better for it after.

5. A feel good movie, this one's simple however sometimes it can really help to improve your mood! Try and avoid anything that will make you feel sad, as tempting as it is it's only going to reflect on your mood...Your favourite series or film might just cheer you up a little.

That's all for today's post, I'll be back with another post soon!
