New Year Goal Setting

Its January 2020, not just a new year but a whole new decade!

The time where everyone says - 'New year new me' - sets themselves big goals and has big plans for the coming year. This is great and I encourage everyone to set goals however a lot of the time, slowly but surely these resolutions and goals start to be forgotten about and we fall back into our old habits. Which can then make us feel deflated and down because we have not achieved what we waned too. Taking yourself back into that circle of unhappiness that you had worked so hard to get out of at the start of the year.

So this year, 2020, still set yourself goals and make those resolutions however make them REALISTIC. Think - can I actually achieve this - can I put a plan in place that will allow me to be successful. If the answer is no then rethink you goal, make your goals smaller steps that will one day help you achieve your overall dream. Another tip is don't make too many new years resolutions as again they will be become to hard to stick to and you'll lose touch with actually achieving any of them.

I suggest 3 new goals for the year- that is what I have decided for 2020 myself - 3 goals that I believe I can successfully achieve and also enjoy achieving. That is also an important point, these resolutions should be fun, yes they should challenge you. However they should not become a chore or a hassle, because again at some point you will fall out of the routine.

My 2020 New Year resolutions:

1. Be more happy spending time at home and chilling out (Do not have to have big plans everyday)
2. Be less hesitant - just do it and do things for myself (well try and improve this)
3. Run a half marathon

These goals are not huge and even if I only make small steps towards these then at least I am moving forward.

Do not worry about not fully achieving your goals - As long as you are moving forward then that's all that matters. You will get there eventually - doesn't matter how long it takes.

Thankyou for reading,

Love, Alyx ➷

5 Chill Day Ideas

I am the WORST for feeling like I need to be doing something all the time. Feeling like everyday I need to be out exploring, living my quote 'best life' and also showing the world that I am. Staying indoors all day just having a lazy day just seems impossible for me, maybe this is just me that struggles with this haha! But I can't seem to find comfort in chilling out at home and taking a day to rest. Often if I have no plans one day, my head will start to wander into a feeling of worrying and self loathing. I can't sit still, I get panicked and fill will stress.  This constant need to be out somewhere and achieving something has got my into a horrible circle of spending money just to entertain myself. Dragging my friends and family out places just so I am not stressed being in the house - when often they are more than happy watching tv all day.   So I have complied this list of things to do with your day in the house that if like me you struggle with boredom and ...

Routine in Isolation

As we all know this is a really weird time to be alive - all this uncertainty is causing all of us some added stress. I am finding it myself so hard to keep in a healthy routine when I feel so restricted in what I can do. Keeping myself busy is something I always struggle with and can become really flustered if I feel I have not been productive enough on a particular day. So in this post I am going to be sharing some tips that I will be using to try and keep myself in a healthy routine. 1. Follow your class/work schedule - Yes this sounds awfully simple and one in which you are probably trying to do. But it is so important. For me in my university career I have classes and work I need to be doing daily, therefore I am trying to follow these class timetables even when I'm not on campus. For example on a Monday morning I have my nutrition class therefore at that time at home I will look over my lecturers and do my work for that class. This is so important to ensure you don't...
