Just keep swimming


Hello hello,

Heres my first blog post. Seemed fitting to start something new on the 9th of October…. Anyone? Well I’ve been having the burning desire to chit chat and document my thoughts, ideas, mishaps, adventures and maybe even a sprinkling of advice for good measure. So here we go. Strap in folks. This is definitely going to be a bumpy ride so bear with me….

Well happy Monday. Today consisted of my theory driving test which phew I passed! Whoop whoop for me. But as anyone who knows me knows all too well, my stress levels are something that without… well…. I wouldn’t be me. So with stress levels still high but with a sense of success seeping in, I plodded through the ever coldening (not a word but should be) English weather to catch my train. Always busy. Like its midday on a Monday. What are you all doing.

Anyway as I slumped into a chewing gum covered seat I rested my arm on the arm rest. But it wasn’t an arm rest. It was a poor unsuspecting middle aged mans knee who was sat behind me. With this, he mouse squeaked a shocked ‘sorry’ my way. My body had accidentally invaded someone’s space and in turn my own.  I spent the rest of the journey sinking lower and lower into my grim seat and wondering how I do this to myself all too often. So this felt like the perfect time to say welcome to me, hope you enjoy!!!

Anyway now with the theme of trying to keep pushing on through or as dory would say “just keep swimming” here I be at an aquarium… smooth transition *please hold applause till the end*.

Me and my boyfriend went for a trip into London a little while back. We don’t travel into London at all really so we thought it would be a nice ride on the train and a cute date idea. Spent 20 mins at a tube stop trying to work out what way we were supposed to be going… yes we are those people. But with success putting a pep in our step we did the whole posing outside big ben thing and walked across to the sea life centre with dreams of colourful fishies galore for our eye balls. Turned out it was shut… due to flooding. Ik the SEA life centre was shut due to FLOODING. Ironic ik…

And do you know what's even MORE ironic. We returned later and were evacuated due to a fire alarm. A FIRE alarm for the SEA life centre…. Enough said.



Later that day we got to look at all the fish the sea life had to offer. One note to make clear… sharks do not have visible bits if you know what I mean. However confused you may seem.. they don’t apparently…
Anywayyyyyy

Took my snazzy camera and spent most of my time taking snazzy pics being a snazzy photographer I like to believe that I am. Spent an uncanny amount of time looking at jelly fish, rays and sea anenomies (jealous of that dip dye style though ---->).  
It was a really lovely visit and was lovely and peaceful to sit by huge tanks and watch fish float, sharks scurry, weed wave and turtles …. T,t,t,… talk?
Disclaimer – turtles didn’t talk





It was a really lovely day out and I managed to leave with way too many photos of fish and a large desire to own a fish tank wall in a future house maybe?

So for anyone with high stress levels here's the moto to this post.

1)      Go to an aquarium and stare at fish for an instant relax

2)      Or “just keep swimming” metaphorically or literally

3)      Or cry a tank worth of tears

Either way thanks for reading!

Mastering Productivity and Time Management

Those emails need replying too, the phones ringing AGAIN, the boss needs me to have a meeting with a client by Friday, that report needs writing, where do I start? Do you sometimes feel a little overwhelmed by the amount you need to get done? Do you find yourself flitting between multiple tasks or avoiding it all together? This post is for you! What is productivity?  Productivity is your sustained progress towards a goal over time. It is your ability to keep ploughing through something at a good rate. Being productive is obviously important when you have a set deadline, you need to get xyz done by a certain date/time. Productivity can become difficult when we don't have these things, however, being productive can be crucial for our mental health.  I found that during lockdown, my productivity dropped and so did my mood. Being able to build in routines and daily activities helped to boost my productivity and made me feel more accomplished .  Unfortunately there are a lot o...

10 things 2020 has taught me so far

This year has been strange for all of us. Some people enjoyed the time off, some hated the lack of structure. Some loved spending quality time with loves ones, others felt claustrophobic. Some of us felt all of this and more. But you know what, I learnt a lot. I learnt a lot about myself that I didn't already know and i'm sure many of you can resonate with some of these points.  I found out that keeping busy was my way of blocking things out. When everything stopped and I could no longer keep filling all my time with 'stuff' I found that I felt quite uncomfortable. Unaddressed demons kept popping up for the first few weeks. This time made me stop and address things I had otherwise would have kept putting off further. It felt healing to let things go and focus on me. Work does not define me. Your job is a part of you, yes, but it is not everything about you. You should not tangle your self worth up in anything that is outside of you.  I found out what I really enjoy. ...

What a week....

Hello again everyone! How have all of your weeks gone? Mines been absolutely, unbelievably shocking… Its been one of those weeks where you wonder if the world is trying to spite you. 12 hours of typing up data was enough to start off my week in a bit of a huff, followed by a cancelled lecture… I was not a happy bunny. After a not so great presentation, a stressful driving lesson, software not working and probably another 15 things iv tried to forget, I am back here again a week later. Everything has been more difficult than it should have been and its left me feeling all together quite annoyed. So sitting down to write this is making me feel a little better… even though the clocks have changed and its now dark at 5…..why. Enough of that rant. Good things have happened! I went out on Friday night with my friends and stayed over the night. It was really good to let my hair down and relax for a day after such a hard week. Also I carved this loooovely pumpkin. Look how cu...
