free printable, having fun with your kids, Parenting, weekly cheat sheet

Hello it has been one good start of the week. My son had his end of year ceremony at his school and is now leaving the school to go on to Secondary School and it was so touching seeing all the children getting up and receiving a book which had messages from teachers and a medal.

So thought this Cheat Sheet would be relevant to that because kids love challenges.

Please check it out here:

Life Coaching: Treating life As If It Is a Competition

Have you ever chatted with with someone about say, You had a nose bleed and they then say “Oh well last week I had a massive migraine and was in bed for two days”. Now I am not saying you should not be sympathetic, yes migraines can be painful, but a nose bleed is still bad and then you say “Well that is bad yes, must have been painful” and now the conversation has swept passed your problem because that person feels that theirs is a lot more worthy and now you feeling somewhat like “oh mine is not so important.

We are all allowed to have fears and we all face challenges but we are all worthy of someone sitting down and listening to you and that your problem is not worth the attention because that persons felt more hard done by, by what’s happened to them.

Yes of course there are people who can’t climb stairs, but you can. #in meeting people who have a disability, never allow their problems to affect on yours and we are all have bad days or challenges and so life is not a competition. It is being on an even ground and have a good chat, without any resent or judgement. EVERYBODY HAS THE RIGHT TO SAY OUCH, HAVE A COFFEE AND BREATH IN AIR.

The one thing I like is to have is a good chat or discussion. I loved the team of people I worked with in a call center because we would just chat. A conversation works both ways and we all like to be heard and to feel that they’re not wasting someone’s time. There was one or two who wanted me to move aside for them to be the center of attention, but I would not entertain them and if they wanted to fly a flag to be noticed I’d just let them continue and put my head down to do my job no matter their feelings were and that when that happens its their own insecurities and in the end they went elsewhere.

Working for me is important to me and doing the job I have been asked to do. I would represent the department too as we did a good job and I felt that there was a resentment towards the department because we would work our butts off.

The best relationships are where you are on the same page and yes I am not saying we shouldn’t have a different point of view, its about having equality and not be snubbed because they are self centered and just think they’re story is more important. So life is not a competition and if you want a good relationship then give eachother the same amount of time to listen and talk.

Inner critic, life coaching post, summer project 2025, The word no, weekly blog

If you are not wanting to meet with friends, then ask yourself, “Why?” and talk to that critic that’s in your mind. It will always be there. because its part of your brain protecting you but we have to push it away and meet with friends and if it doesn’t go well then noone can keep you there and it is your choice.

Will you feel left out?

Like you are missing out?

I would often feel like that a lot and I realise it was because I wouldn’t go with them and it was a personal attack, when seeing pictures on Facebook. Now I have realised, is that, no they’ve not sending me a message to say I was uninvited and often too caught up in seeing other people myself and when I did got out I would want to stay out all evening.

When I hear the word “NO” I feel like I am in a car stepping on the breaks all of sudden.

My mind is resisting right now. I want to clean the Freezer but its given me a dread feeling. What if I can’t get it clean? Should I film in a vlog? My mind is overactive and the doubt just seeps in and before I know it, that job does not get done as I weighing up the dos and don’ts.

I have my finances to go through. I feel my mind resistance in doing so and it drives me up the wall. So I am going to go through my finances, no matter what my mind is saying, but listen to my gut and know that once it is done this weekly task then that’s it updated, until next week.

It is up to me and what I want to get out of this day. I enjoyed yesterday writing whilst having the tennis on and watching a bit of Youtube. So lets see what I do next and yes if my mind says NO, then I listen to be my gut and ignore the self doubt and weighing up the Consequences.

It’s about get up and go.

building your life, health and wellbeing, improving your life, looking after yourself, Self development

So with your worksheets I had created in this blog, here The Beginning of My Summer Project 2025 jot down. on Page 7, of what you want to improve. I am always trying to improve my skills and knowledge to help me with my writing, by watching other writers who have been successful and doing short courses online.

It could be to improve your fitness, your communication with others, having more time off and just clear your mind and then go through each one you’ve written down and start taking action.

I am still that girl who has clothes at the bottom of my bed, forgot to pick up something from the shops and gets lost quite a bit. So I will spend time to fold my clothes each day and each week and its having good systems set up. Managing Your Life With Different Systems for better Productivity. I will make sure I have a shopping list at hand and I have preplanned directions.

There is always in my book, room for improvement. When working on radio which I do on Sundays 4to6pm for Epsom Hospital Radio. Being doing this for about a year and still learning and improving my radio skills, to make sure I ask my Manager if I am unsure about something and listen to my colleagues shows to help improve my show and improving my Youtube videos. Check out my Channels:

https://www.youtube.com/@typicallondongal

https://www.youtube.com/@financialliving

https://www.youtube.com/@CarrieEducationalYoutube-ws4xp

So whatever it is jot it down and go back What You Want to Focus on and the most on Page 7 to highlight what is most important to you.

I am also creating videos for this Life Coaching Programme, Summer Project 2025 and so check out above, Carries Educational Youtube Channel.

Hello and welcome! I hope you are okay and adapting to the weather. This is being written in June 2025 where (I’m on the UK) we have had a massive heatwave. It is nice to see the sun but the heat has been getting too much. If that annoys you and should be grateful with nice weather, then Sorry and you can skip this bit in this blog if you want to.

So this weeks Cheat Sheet is about Having A Simple Schedule. I like to plan my days, weeks and months, and so developed a system whereby I do things on a selective day, time and write down my plans as well using google calendar and Notion, so they stay in my head.

Having A Simple ScheduleDownload

These are free to download and print. If you’d like to be notified when I post on this blog then you can, just select subscribe with no cost and just helps me build my content and be some kind of support to you so you have a life where you aren’t stressing. I have always been super stressed but would wear me down so doing Simple Systems when it comes to planning and scheduling, has made me less stressed and enjoy each day.

Many thanks for reading,

Life Coaching Programme Summer Project 2025 Changing Your Image From my Own Experience

Body Image, health and wellbeing, helping my insecurities, My Mental Health Battle, self care and development

It has been a life of regret, struggles and low self belief. I had no respect for myself and would avoid looking in the mirror. Check out this video about Changing your Image:

life Coaching Video for my Summer Project programme about Changing Your image

I go through the issues I had and doing things to get over those feelings and feel good about myself.

It has taken many years, learning and understanding to accept myself and proud of the person I have become but do need to recover certain relationships as often it is the inside the person that matters and not calling someone a name and hitting out to the people that I love and who love me back and recovering from a Mental Health diagnosis, psychosis and having terrible anxiety.

I kept feeling the worst and forgiving myself, check out this blog and feeling good about myself: https://buildingselfconfidencetud.blogspot.com/2025/06/be-your-own-bestfriend.html

Things that were happening to me growing into a woman I found tough, being an early developer and felt out of control as my body changed and so my insecurities grew.

Life has a way of hitting you in the face and making you feel lost. I lost myself for a while, battling with my Mental Health, but from the knocks that life makes, where you fall of the rails to make you stronger and feel I do have courage and resilience to not to allow my inner critic get me down and spending time with the right people who do really do love me, has made me see that I Iook fine and the right shape for my height and body.

I blamed others for the way I felt and I had to take responsibility that noone is to blame I just needed to get a hold of myself and stop worrying what I don’t have but what I do have.

It has been a rollercoaster but I now know how to stop it and make an effort to help me to feel good about myself. I hated my teeth, my boobs and my stomach.

So I please enjoy the video and please subscribe if you’d like to be notified of when I post on this site and my educational Youtube Channel.
