Quote Anon but super wise
I love to light a candle, snuggle with fluffy socks and pinch the Mr’s hoodie but comfort only brings contentment for a short period of time, stay too long and the candle goes out. Nothing changes, the years pass and life stagnates.
I’m a huge advocate for self development and self care, as a full time teacher and Mummy, daughter, friend and partner – I can’t be at my best unless I first address my own health, wellbeing and happiness. My family are seriously awesome people, the children in my classes have the potential to make our world a better place, my son has only got one Mummy…to do this I need time out and I need time for me. I take note of when I’m tired and I go to bed early, I rise early and make time to exercise. Self care is the key to being the best I can be. It’s my vision that all humans embrace self love, to embrace busy days and balance them with bubble baths…so I’m being brave and currently am developing a self care YouTube channel. There I’ve typed it – I’ve told the universe.
It scares the shizzle out of me. Currently the Mr and I are learning to edit, focus, upload and do a thousand things that are beyond our comfort zones, there are no candles and hoodies to hide behind. If I want to push the vision of self care then I need to abandon my comfort zone. I know the first few episodes are likely to make me cringe, that our skill set is only just in its infancy but for me to grow I need to make this jump from words on a page to movement on a screen. At the moment I feel like I’m broken.
Broken is temporary. I’m a seed. A tiny seed with a huge vision of an oak tree. It’s my vision and the support of my partner that I know I won’t stay a seed, moments are temporary. At the moment I’m submerged in doubt and soil, getting ready to grow I know one thing to be true. I would rather of tried and failed than stayed a seed in a closed packet of potential.
Are you sitting in your comfortable packet? Perhaps it’s time to break the seal on your next goal?
*feel free to message me any tips or advice on our new adventure, your support would mean the world.
I don’t have any tips on how to start a YouTube channel but, I’m super excited about this news! I’m getting ready to be brave & make some changes in my life too, so that I haven’t stayed a seed in a closed packet of potential (love that phrase!) I look forward to watching, good luck X

😂 no pressure, I’m sure it’ll be great once everything’s figured out.
I’m kind of having a whole life overhaul 😂. Looking to find work in something completely new to the kind I’ve done in the past. As well as just throw myself into things I’ve been putting off for years like, taking some dance classes/learning to drive. Best of luck to you too 💛

This sounds immense…makes my growth tiny. You should write a bucket list 🙂

Nah, any growth is good and important 🙂 I think I will do that though & maybe call it a ‘fuck-it’ list 😂😂 X
