Snow days


Heya all hows you first week of January been?
My week back at uni starts this week and I’m looking forward to having the structure back in place but dreading the stress of everything that I have been putting off for so long being due in… helppp. Dissertation feels like it’s looming over me and the sooner I get going with it the better I reckon.
I thought I would share with you some pictures of the snow we got a few weeks ago. It was really lovely to take a walk as we don’t get snow very often and having lived in Australia for a lot of my childhood it’s still quite novel to me!
 
 

Trees crack white carpet,
Bleached blurs, land to sky,
Twigs freeze in cold and motion,
Kite shakes and sails by,
 
Bitter sting of breeze,
Wellies crunch and slip,
Silence blankets hungry land,
Ice on branches grip

I also have started to get on with my new years goals and drew this picture of a rabbit. Must admit this is not from my own mind and is copied but I enjoyed doing it none the less! iIspired me to draw more often. Started reading Turtles all the way down and am really enjoying it as a book and also just getting back into reading in general. Im literally dying with my exercises and just trying to hold onto motivation to keep going with I. My legs feel like jelly today but I have already found that working out prior to a driving lesson definitely helped me to stay calmer so I MUST STICK TO IT. My body literally screams at me to stop… it doesn’t like me very much at the moment hahaha! Been looking at doing some volunteering and just hoping that it all works out timing wise. About to start making my vision board to help me to visualise all the things that are most important to me for the year ahead. I do one every year and I find it really lovely to look at every day and really see what’s important to me to stop me getting focussed on the little things. Big picture people.

Hope you all have a great week!

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. ...

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...

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...
