Taking a leap of faith

Being someone who loves watching Youtube. I watch it every morning, whilst my son has his breakfast and in between getting him ready for school, I was alerted a video by Will Smith. Yes, the Will Smith has a Youtube channel.

He decided to on a challenge and bungee jump from a helicopter into the Grand Canyon.

Don’t get me wrong this is something I would never do, but I can’t help but get inspired by people who would, or have done.

Check out the video below:

The biggest challenge I have ever taken on was taking part in the Great North Run, and I remember travelling up there getting quite emotional, thinking I wouldn’t make it back home, but I did.

After I took on the challenge of the Great North Run, the Adrenaline rush was intense and I felt I could take on the world.

Taking a leap of faith can help you get out of a rut, and make you see that you can take on anything, if you put your mind and heart to it.

So if there is something you have always wanted to do, then do it, as life is short and we all don’t know what is around the corner, and setting challenges can really help the mind and body.

If you have completed challenges like Will Smith than fantastic and well done, I think you are amazing, and inspiring.

What has been the biggest challenge in your life?

Is there something you have always wanted do and done it?

How did make you feel?

Find a good routine can help have a more structured life

I live by a routine as it helps structure my day, with Henry going to school I have managed to find a good routine, so I know that the first thing is breakfast, then getting my son dressed ready for school and then leave the house to walk to school.

It just sets up my day and helps generate good habits.

For example making my bed everyday can really help set up my day, having that cup of tea in the morning, listening to that favourite song or doing my daily errands, that morning workout.

Once you find a good routine, you can still be flexible, and be prepared for any surprises.

I write down my plan for each day, week at a time, or sometimes daily, depending on what I need to do.

Writing down the routine can help make you stick to it, and make space for other jobs that need to get done that may crop up.

We even have a routine for the evening, doing homework, TV, dinner and then bed time.

So do you have a routine? How has a routine helped you in the day?

I would love to hear.

A Tribute to Claire Wineland

I was so sad to hear that Claire Wineland who is a public speaker and also made various Youtube videos, had died.

She was and still will be an inspiration for so many. The way she spoke and what she said about people with illnesses truly made sense. Just because some is sick doesn’t mean you should pity them, as people are more than their sickness, they are still human after all.

Here is video proving what a true inspiration she was. She may have gone but never forgotten.

Here is my second video of why I no longer make resolutions but life changes instead.

I feel that when I make life change I stick with it, and don’t have any setbacks.

With resolutions like so many people I found it hard to stick with them and by February gave them up.

Check out my new video below:

I hope you enjoy watching and let me know below if you would like to see more of these types of videos in the comments.

Going for what you want

If you read my blog on my website page:

https://everydaylivingandlifestyle.wordpress.com 

You would have seen my brief mention of change of career.

I am soon to be a Nursery Practitioner or Nursery Assistant, and I knew exactly that, that was going to be my new career, I had, had enough of working in a call centre, and wanted a change.

It has been a challenge looking after my son, but now he soon to start school I didn’t want to stop looking after children and wanted to work either in a playgroup setting or nursery, as it is so rewarding to help children develop as they go through their early stages of life.

I am at the mind set now that I have go for what I want, rather then settling for any kind of job, that will do. I have had enough of that.

I know it will be challenging, as I am going to be responsible for other peoples children, but I am looking forward to the change and the challenge.

I have gotten in the living the moment, rather than daydreaming of being in a different place, and wishing I was doing something else, rather than living for each day.

Now I am in that mindset, I do feel life is working out better and don’t feel like I am stuck in a rut.

So go for your dreams and what you want to do, not for what you have to do.

Everybody has the right to live their dream so go for it, and never be afraid of set backs, just keep following you heart and you will get to the destination you have dreamed of.

Taking on Challenges in life

Life is full of hurdles, we go through some good times and some bad, and it is how you react to the bad times that can help you concentrate on the good.

I have been watching some inspiring videos of those with terminal illnesses, or have been fighting an illness, and I didn’t purposely go to watch these, I came across them via Youtube, and has made me put my own life in perspective.

The first person I started watching was a young lady called Emily Hayward, who was battling with cancer. She sadly lost her life only a couple of weeks ago, but her videos were so uplifting, that you kind of oversaw the illness she was facing. She made you understand what it is like to go through such a battle. She was such a fighter that I think how she came across and lived her life, will live on, and will help those who also fighting illnesses like cancer.

Please check out Emily Hayward Youtube Channel, her vlogs were great to watch and sad they will be no more.

I also came across a lady called Charlotte Eades who had a Brain Tumor. She developed a Youtube Channel not just about her fight with cancer, but her love for beauty, fashion and handbags. She filmed way up until she died, and her family have carried on making videos to help others and helped to raise money to help those with brain tumors, so more research can go into brain related cancer.

I then came across some videos called My Last Days, first one is of a girl named Kat who was battling Gastric Cancer. To warn you some scenes you might find distressing, but wanted to share it, as her story is so inspiring and she has a wonderful surprise at the end, and does something for a little boy whom had leukemia.

Then I came across a girl named Claire Wineland, who also has a Youtube channel. See her story below.

Life is full of challenges, but seeing things from someone else eyes can really help you face those challenges, not allow them to predict how you feel.
