heading to a new year, learning from current year to the new year, my year 2021, reflecting over the year

Hello and welcome! thank you for taking the time to read my blogs and your feedback means a lot, and I know that my blogs are helpful to you and is reaching out to you.

In this blog I a talking about reflecting over the year, and it has been a mixture of good and bad. Yet compared to last year a lot better and accomplished a lot, yet there have been years where I haven’t and often I feel that I get left behind.

For my last son’s swimming lesson for this year, I couldn’t find my sons goggles and swimming hat and I often lose items and get annoyed with myself so from this year is to stop rushing and take my time. In the end I went out early to buy him another pair of goggles and swimming hat, and so made me see that it can workout even if it is getting stuff at last minute.

I was in a mental health hospital and was a break I needed and saw more about people being in two of these hospitals as they all are there to get themselves back on track, with their life and not feel alone in their mental health and I did build good relationships in both the hospitals.

To reflect I separate my goals quarterly now and has made a huge difference to getting projects completed, I have already set out quarterly goals for next year and going to write them up on paper I have stored in my old home in Epsom, to put up on the wall.

I have learned so much from this year, setting myself challenges like 21 day challenges and 30 day ones, made me surprised of what I can accomplish in short time and implimented new habits into my life, like setting things up the day before rather than on the day, and spending time to sort my space I have out, managing motherhood with things I need to get done, it just helped me see that I can make the most of time and have time watching TV rather than Youtube, and giving myself some credit and have some self care.

I do look after my skin and realised what true things mean the world to me. Like taking my son out and monitoring my time spent and enjoying walking and travelling.

I love to travel and so will take these to the next year and accomplish even more.

I have created a printable about Dividing your time:

I hope you find this helpful and so Merry Christmas and a happy new year

creating new projects in 2021, leaving a year happy, look back over the year 2021, reflecting another year thats ending, the good things from this year 2021

Soon we will be ending this year 2021 and yes there were challenging moments but here I am looking after my son in the warm feeling nostalgic.

There have been changes like my son needing to go to a new school, going through another lock down and me spending time in a mental health hospital yet here I am after returning doing the school run this year and my son is off for the Christmas holidays and my son is the love of my life and enjoying having mother and son time.

My blogs especially this one has had terrific feedback and I feel so blessed because of having 5,000 views and same with my blog https://sportsandfitnesspassion.wordpress.com I received 1,000 likes, again I 0feel blessed, so thank you.

All the feedback has been wonderful and more new blogs to come.

I have written more books on amazon.com under Carrie Challoner, Carrie Lee Holmes and Carrie Holmes, and proud of them and hope I have inspired you being my audience with the follows I have had.

I love reaching out via my books and blogs and in this year I restarted my filming for my YouTube channels and now have three, typicallondongal, mystylewayofliving and carrieseducationalyoutube

So been a good year really and new things on the horizon for next year too.

Many thanks for reading and your support

Christmas and the festive season, energenizing, feeling defeated, life coaching blog, the winter slump

Do you often question your life? I know I do, and this part of the year is where I feel the most stressed and if knew why I’d say but I don’t. I think the changing of the clocks can effect me as it has for years when going to and back in the dark we need that Vitamin D in our bodies and when you lack it I believe from my experience that my body is lacking that Vitamin, so I am going to pick up Vitamin D supplement to help this.

When it comes to winter time I do what it takes to rise my spirits up, when leaving now and also the lack of energy I feel is nature, my period, sorry if that is TMI its true, my monthly cycle can effect my mood.

I like to go for walks and yesterday I had a good constructive day even though at the time it didn’t feel like it.

I find I need to get out and see people. I love travelling to and from different places so going to plan some winter walks and looking to do more volunteer/fundraising for charity again as I was doing fundraising events, like the London 10K and Race for life and more.

When you do such things it really is rewarding and I miss it.

I need a more changes in my life now and feel it will happen I just need to be patient and build more around me to prevent me from feeling the winter slump that I can often feel.

I am looking forward to Christmas and have many things planned and this helps pull me through too, and feel like I have acccomplished a lot even when feeling less energentic and going to push through.

I have created a printable a free EBOOK for this site, to help you find your dream job, and here is linked below:

I hope you find this helpful as I have seen many looking for new jobs and want to help you in finding your dream job.

When we feel we aren’t getting anywhere brainstorm to workout why and being on your period is unavoidable but how you feel towards the hormones is to say “Stop I am gonna have a good day regardless”.

24 Peaceful Quotes To Make Your Life Stress Free

Reflect over the year you have had, what would have changed what can you learn from this year so far so it ends better than what he begun and what can you change right now. Not yesterday or tomorrow but now?

Be honest with yourself and mark from 1 to 10 how you feel and what one change would mean to your life as we draw near to another one?

Many thanks for reading,

Carrie X
