Hello this is the first day of my Autumn Reset and will helping you to reset and help to finish areas of your life that need completing.

Please see my last blog that had my Autumn Reset free printable Autumn Reset starts tomorrow

I have begun to feel in first page of what I want to complete and then will be deciding what are the main things for me to do, and what can be completed on another time and will go through my Notion of my goals and plans for 2024 and 2025 and what is top priority.

So what is a reset?

It is where you pull yourself back and restart and the Academic year is when I like to get things complete before the following year and make way for other projects I want to do and get back into planning and sorting things out for the rest of the year. This is what it for me means and get back into the school routine and set new goals and help build my habits to organise my life and means decluttering and changing your food, home and routine for the autumn season, ready for the winter.

So I have begun making a list and this week was challenging as my son was home from school with a Chest Infection and so if you can’t join in straight away then please don’t worry you can start when it is a good time for you, I just wanted to help you as I do a reset each year and found it helpful and hope you do too.

You don’t have to fill in all of the printable but as you start and begin to get those tasks completed and use the pages where I have put week 1 to decide where you’d like to begin and reflect on each week and log what you have done so far and spend time go through what would be the easiest to ones where you feel may need more time on. This is where it is good to use the page of printable of breaking your tasks up once you have decided on the areas/tasks are mostly important to you to complete.

Please subscribe as I will posting on a two to three day basis for this programme and then you won’t miss a post and will be filming too on my vlog channel: https://www.youtube.com/@typicallondongal

Many thanks for reading,

Yes it is now Autumn and that means school is back on. Does that feel you with dread? 

This would be me, but now, now I am more present in mind, have had the best summer I have had so far in my life and had some really good days out, had time for myself too and really been a lot of fun.

If there was one thing you would like to do in the summer, then jot it down, and save it.

This is a picture of my son stroking a cat we often see in Southpark Gardens in Wimbledon and perfect good to play in all year round.

I have written a few posts about the Summer holidays: https://mydailythougthsandfeelings.blogspot.com/2024/07/enjoying-summer-holidays-2024.html

https://mydailythougthsandfeelings.blogspot.com/2024/08/enjoying-summer-holidays-2024.html

https://mydailythougthsandfeelings.blogspot.com/2024/08/unplanned-walk-summer-holidays-2024.html

I have vlogged too, which will be published soon, on my vlog Youtube Channel, Typical London Gal Carrie Holmes

Altering habits has helped, like not stopping in as I was having two days indoors, but I actually found that this left me feeling restless and feel better, when I have been out. i was anxious about taking Henry Swimming, because it was a different gym, but was really good fun and having time to watch a series on the TV and taking breaks from my laptop and not being near my phone all of the time, helped.

It is the end of my Summer Project 2024 programme and on the 10th of September is when my Autumn Reset will begin, getting parts of my life sorted out and projects finished, like my book that I am having proof read is done, a first draft of another book done and I have been doing a Counselling course and will be completing and sorting out my room in Epsom, and when the shed is finished in the garden will give it a good clean and give it a bit of make over and use it for my crafting as I want to get back into scrapbooking again and other crafting products I want to do.

I really hope you all had good summer and you enjoyed the holidays and we may still have good weather as sometimes summer can last a lot longer, we hope, as I have loved being in shorts and not having to wear so much to keep warm.

Many thanks for reading,

Happy new year everyone. I have no plans for New years, so not sure if I will be posting or not, so getting ahead, and it has been a good year for me. Still a few days left, so a few things I want to do before the end of the year, but pleased with how I have been building my life, and that was my word for this year, “Building” and my Youtube channels have grown, by blogs have more followers and got likes, and the same with my social media.

My son changed schools, and has settled in well and making improvements in his learning. Check out my parenting blogs:

https://theparentingadventurestipsandtricks.wordpress.com

https://theparentingadventuresthebirthofmyson.wordpress.com

I loved the trips I took up London by Uber Boat to North Greenwich and back, and would recommend it, such good fun, and did a trip to and from North Greenwich to Canary Wharf, and from there to Putney, and then had a lovely meal. So, been a good year in terms of travelling and having good times during the school holidays and went to see to AFC Wimbledon play football, and went to Rugby match for free, and so did plenty, and got my book Mum&Me Published on amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Mum-Me-Gucci-Tits-Virtue-ebook/dp/B0BGSS7H9K/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1CHGKKQVIG90X&keywords=mum+%26+me+carrie+holmes&qid=1703490128&sprefix=mum%26me+carrie+holmes%2Caps%2C87&sr=8-1

I enjoyed doing my Autumn Reset, my Life Coaching programme, “Summer Project 2023”, and this will continue on in 2024, dates TBC. I need to decide on videos, for my Life Coaching videos for it, and where I will publish them. I loved the walks me and my son went on and visiting Shepperton. It was so nice and would like to next time walk along the Canal.

Image I took when travelling on Uber Boat, from North Greenwich to Putney.

It was sad about Terry Venables, Kirstie Alley and Len Goodman, and many stars died, like Olivia Newton John, and Matthew Perry. So, so sad.

It reminds me that no one is invisible and you have to live your life where you can smile and enjoy.

We went, my family and I went to more shows, that I wanted to do, like saw Hamilton in the Apollo Theatre in London Victoria, for my birthday and was really good, went to Pub in the park, in Wimbledon Park, and saw Gabrielle, went to see Blippi, a children’s character who was at The Rose in Kingston, and Zog and got more shows to come. I love the London for its shows and going to see more in 2024 and took Henry to the Cinema for the first time, to see Dungeons and Dragons, and was good to see and would recommend it.

I am creating a printable and have more ideas for my content to come, so if you want to be the first to know when I put this up, then follow me and everytime I blog you will be notified.

Many thanks for reading,

Autumn Reset: My final blog of this reset 2023

So yes my Autumn Reset is over, but didn’t manage to complete my third draft of my book, so set out a plan to get it done by the end of the week, I did however, complete the organisation of my room, and on the chosen areas, and it feels so good to have more space. There are still more to be done, but taking shape and feel better in sorting it out.

Sorting out my shoes, I found some white slippers I forgot about, brand new and so got them on now, and then I found a coat that I hadn’t worn for a long time, and now my go to, coat again, and check out my blog site: https://carriesversatilefashion.com where I have talked about it, I love how clear my desk is and so going to keep it that way, and my wardrobe, check out my Youtube video where I declutter it: https://youtu.be/jPPz-9NRqJY

I have had feedback by people liking my blogs and going to keep doing a Autumn reset but there are changes I need to make for it, to be even better and space out my projects, as I find with youtube I get somewhat behind, and so need to spread out my work on my blogs and videos better.

I do have ideas for a new Winter programme, and so once I have put it together I will let you know what it is. So I hope you found my blogs helpful and hope you have a good Halloween and so more reset blogs and videos to come. My blogs of my Autumn are going up, and so make sure you visit my main youtube channel, to watch these and more blogs coming soon.

Many thanks for reading,

Autumn Reset: The last three days for Autumn Reset 2023

So, three days left of my Autumn Reset, and I have happy with the progress I have made to get my next book completed, almost got the areas of my room done and tomorrow going to do my Sunday reset, to help me in these last days and I like what I have done so far, by sorting out my top shelf above my desk, sorted out my wardrobe and closet/cupboard I decluttered and just got my shoes to do.

I have filmed these areas and I hope they help you, and motivate you to have a reset, and if not Autumn then Winter and before Christmas, so you can celebrate without having so much to do, and have more time to celebrate.

Writing books can take a while, and make sure I some spend time with my son, so have to manage my time so I don’t stress, but take time away from the computer, to stop with burnout and moving from my desk helps the process and why I wanted to sort out room too, to have more time to write and not having so much stuff, but what I need and know I am gong to use.

This is my desk and I love how it looks, I do need to clean it which I am going to do tomorrow and still like to make changes to it, but I like that I don’t have too much on it and helps me write, having a nice clear space.

I was also trying to finish a course I enrolled in, and glad to be getting this done, as there are others I want to do, as there is still so much I want to learn and grow my writing and knowledge in helping people through my blogs, books and videos, along with face to face. As I want others lives to be happy and use the tools I have learned and learning so I can do that.

It still feels surreal that it is coming to the end of October and have to get my Christmas planned, along with birthdays, including my sons and so using my evenings like now at the weekend to catch up on tasks, being it has been half term, and spending time with family, and enjoying the week with my son and not sat in front of the computer all day long, and like going outdoors. This helps to clear my mind and boosts my energy.

I have realised I love food shopping and in big supermarkets, mainly Sainsbury’s, ASDA and M&S, because of what is on offer, and like planning my dinners, with some treats and when I need clothing essentials. This morning we took a trip to ASDA and bought some socks, and went to Sainsbury’s on Friday and bought cake mix as we made some cupcakes which I have filmed for my main Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@typicallondongal Along with items for dinner and I enjoy it.

So what have you discovered since you did a RESET? How has it made you feel if you have completed your tasks for it. You can leave a comment below.

I do have another video where I talk about how I manage my money and post every week, and hope they help you too, to manage your money: https://www.youtube.com/@mywayofliving1602

Autumn Reset: Coming to the end

Yes it is the last week and means that I will need to get my head down and complete the third edit of my new book I am writing, called When Mothers Are Real and have been filming videos and sharing snippets from this book, and all the videos will be on my main Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@typicallondongal

I have been working on my bedroom in Wimbledon, and just got my shoes in my room to go through and so that means all that I wanted to sort out, has been done, and want to do more resets and will be as we go into winter making further changes. I have started to plan for 2024.

I am not going to stress running a bit over to get my book done as this week it is half term and so have to put other things aside to get it done, and this helps because I do jump from one task to another, not completing anything, and want this book out and published, to work on my next book and projects.

Things will get in the way, like school holidays and family events, but if you have ten minutes, then you still working closer to the finish line, and keep going, with taking breaks in between.

Create a plan, I used calendars on Word and Excel and has made a difference, and writing a writing plan each week has helped, and choosing areas in my room, that are priority and pleased with what I have done so far. Please check out my Pinterest to find content https://www.pinterest.co.uk/thetypicalLondongal/autumn-reset/ and starting to get my vlogs up, and if you didn’t see my first video, where I sorted out a ruck sack that I no longer wanted and how I do a Sunday Reset and planning for the week ahead: https://youtu.be/puscj58zXSw

Prioritising is the key to getting tasks finished and spreading out tasks, that I want to do in the morning, afternoon and evening. Set the scene, I find cleaning the table or desk before I start really effective in helping me do my book and do bits around the house or in my room, and doing exercise, really boost my energy, and feel sufficient in Iron because had bad fatigue in the morning again, but when I take Iron, seems to really help, along with coffee and not eating too much.

So got a week left and feel pleased with my progress, and see the finish line, so it has been good and will continue to do this each year and want to do another monthly reset in the year to help too and plan my projects year in advance, as I find with my videos I get behind and so want to continue to a structure that will help with that.

I hope, if you have also been doing an Autumn Reset and please tell what you have completed and how you plan your life to complete projects. You can leave a comment below.

Many thanks for reading,

Autumn Reset: Good decluttering session

So another weekend and today me, my mum and step dad decluttered a cupboard that we use for many purposes such as clothes, books and the bar holding our clothes fell down, so had to sort through and it feels so good to let go of stuff and having a sort through.

It meant that I had to store items in my wardrobe in my bedroom, that I cleared out but that is okay because it is stuff I want to use and not still be sitting there in days to come. I may have another sort out, but have some bits for my son and I to paint, and want to use for Halloween. And I feel it is okay to do that, as long as they do get used, and look after my walking boots and it items that I care about.

Today I sorted through my notebooks by my desk and tidied up, and kept notes from them in folders as great for keeping ideas and goals not achieved yet, and I like going through old notes, as seeing the list it made me see that I have achieved many of my goals, I had written in these notebooks, like sorting out my bedroom and books written, and anything not used for the last two years where I began my life coaching programme I will go through and help me plan the next one in summer 2024.

I still got to go through my shoes, and I like the fact that my desk is clearer and uncluttered, and got a blue box near my bed that I want to sort through too. I have asked my husband, if I can use the shed once this has been sorted out, to stock my craft stuff, as since I found a notebook I made into a scrapbook, I want to get back into it.

My videos that features the areas I want to get done for my Autumn Reset, will go up starting this week ahead, and if it is the future, then they will be up on my main Youtube channel:

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

Next week it is half term but my son is at a holiday club for two of those days so going use the spare time from completing the work I am doing on my next book, and have included that, and then it is time to get ready for the festive season, and I do plan of having a new programme set up for this period, and so, more content to come.

I have a book out that I published at the beginning of the new year. It is called Mum&Me and is about a mother and daughter who live together and see things very differently, and the mum is obsessed with ordering goods from TV shopping channels and online and of things she didn’t actually realised she’d ordered, and Elizabeth the daughter, is a stay at home mum, and has a son called Freddie and has a little baking business on the side, and has arch rival, a neighbour called Gloria, who tries to gate crash Elizabeth birthday party and obsessed with beauty and cosmetic surgery and her kids go to the same school as Elizabeth and are on the school PTFA, and Gloria happens to be the head, and only her opinion counts. So if you like a good comedy and want to have a good read whilst you have some free time,check it out. Its available in paperback and Kindle: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Mum-Me-Gucci-Tits-Virtue-ebook/dp/B0BGSS7H9K/ref=tmm_kin_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1697392250&sr=8-1

So, let me know what you have finished if you too are doing an Autumn Reset. You can leave a comment below and lets inspire one another and get family involved or friends, and put on a good Podcast or like I did today, listened to an audio book, called Save A Cat Writes a Novel.

Many thaks for reading,

Carrie X
