Happy, Healthy & Hopeful

Hi everyone!

It's been a while since I've flourished you all with my rambling wisdom!

January is a fresh start for everyone. Whether it be a new fitness regime, a promise to yourself that you won't sniff chocolate let alone eat it, or remain sober for thirty days or more, we all have a goal and we set out with good intentions but fall at the last hurdle (usually).

I stopped going to the gym two months ago, drank heavily for five months, lost my abs, ate everything (and yes, I mean everything) in sight!

My goal was to get back to the gym, eat better, drink water and look after my skin. I'm sixteen days in and I'm feeling so much better, and I truly mean that. My skin has looked better than it's ever looked, I feel awake (most mornings anyway), and I'm beginning to enjoy being in the kitchen again as opposed to picking up the phone for a take away.

I'm feeling better within myself and I'm mentally getting better with the right tools.

I've had some feedback from you guys about my blogs and how they wish to be as positive. My message to you all is that you can. I had to give myself a good talking to and take my own advice but I'm beginning to get happy and be comfortable on my own again.

Here's what I'm doing at the minute.

1. Setting goals - no matter how small they seem, write them down.

2. Don't set a deadline - you'll meet the goal, no matter how long it takes.

3. Don't put pressure on yourself - the only limit is you, but if something doesn't feel right, trust it.

4. There is no expiry date on happiness.

These are tough but fair points. It had taken me time to start taking my own advice but I did it for the better. I hope at least one of these points help you with your journey.

Have a happy week!

Peace!
