Hello and Welcome to my New Seasonal Programme, My Winter Wellness that I do each Winter to not allow the dark days or the weather to effect my mood and enjoy all the season’s and focus on what gives me joy this time of year.

I just wrote a post on my blog Style Way of Living, about my Home Comforts and I love getting Cozy in the Winter and take a step back from the Everyday Errands and I am loving my time with my son in the Evenings especially in the Winter and watching a Christmas movie. I like to drink Earl Grey tea and a festive drink.

Check out this blog here: https://mystylewayofliving.blogspot.com/2025/11/my-home-comforts.html

I have done a printable and it is about getting the most out of your Winter and that you don’t have to get the latest trends and having a ton of decor and gifts to enjoy your Winter. I like to invest in a good set of jumpers and do a declutter, Christmas Food, but not too much as it is what helps you to enjoy Winter without spending money and spending time with family.

I have a section in this printable about New Traditions and Personal Dilemmas, that has affected my feelings to enjoy the winter season.

So in this Printable I want you to go through as I post to help you enjoy Winter rather than dreading it:

My Winter Wellness printableDownload

This is free printable to download and print and keep.

I have set up a Pinterest board:

I will be sharing blogs from my other blogsite, aswell as this one and so if you want to feel better about Winter then join me and lets help each other enjoy this time of year.

Many thanks for reading,

Life Coaching Blog..Summer Project 2025: Joining Things Together

Being happy, developing positive habits, down days, everyone can build a castle, improving your life

Did you ever do the puzzle where you had to connect the dots that would form a picture? Well you can do that with life.

I have filmed my first video for this years Life Coaching Programme and so please check it out: https://youtu.be/bcHG7Dx_3ck?si=W4nzQka-oHxQ_yLr That is about Habits and with changing your habits it can help to join things together. Once that starts you will see changes in your life. In the printable I created check this blog which had the link to my printable I have created for this programme The Beginning of My Summer Project 2025 I am a Radio DJ/Presenter and connected another dot to having the life I want.

In my free printable I do each week, my cheat sheet I talk creating a Map Do Ten Things it helps me with writing my books. So the first ones I did were parenting books and wrote and published my first novel, A Lonely Walk to Happiness and now creating a series, and drawing out a map of ok so first book this year is to republish book 1 of the series, then continue to work on another book which is a stand alone and then work book 2 of my series.

Create a chart to see your progress or journal.

With WordPress it shows you how engaged your readers are and how much traffic you are getting.

With that it helps to see what blogs they are particularly interested in and why I continued with this programme because of the positive response to them.

So spend time mapping out what you want to work on and with that set goals, develop new positive habits. Example: I know when I brush my teeth how better I feel and there was a time I would miss days but lead me to not feeling good and having bad dreams about it. I like to be active and do a bit of walking each day, even if it is for 10 minutes and this leads me having better energy to write which I enjoy and clears the brain and when I don’t feel clogged up, feel good.

Concentrate on one area at a time, brainstorming is affective too and researching. I read books on writing, watch youtube videos of other self published authors and watching other peoples routine. Add Mind mapping to your routine as I do this a lot as I see my blogs grow and the writing of my books.

I hope you find these blogs helpful and if you want to be notified when I post then please subscribe and my Educational Youtube channel and then you will not miss a blog or a video.

Please check out my Pinterest where I post too: https://uk.pinterest.com/thetypicalLondongal/summer-project-2025/

It’s Never Too Late

Hello so if you didn’t read my previous blog then please check it out here: breaking-barriers

I am doing a new training programme which it is called Change Your Life.

Photo by Stas Knop on Pexels.com

It is free and there will be videos aswell coming and is for April 2025, but you can do this training any time. It is not to make you feel pressured but do it when you have a chance as we all lead busy lives and take your time filling in the Worksheet.

So in this blog I want to talk about how It’s Never Too Late. As a kid I loved music and would listen to it everyday and daydream. When I left school I wanted to work on radio and it was my mum who suggested about working on hospital radio, but I had no idea how to go about it. Then last year I saw a banner outside Epsom Hospital about their radio station. I looked on the website and filled in the waiting list and was contacted by email to come to a recruitment evening and now a year later I now presenting on Sunday’s and have my own show. I am 47.

There is a lady that we met at St George’s hospital who is an MP for Tooting who also works in the hospital and she didn’t do well in her GCSE’s as she went to the same school as me. I went to a Westminster school and really wanted work in Medicine and so now she does both.

Never give up on your dreams and ambitions.

I remember saying to a colleague when working in a call center saying to him about following your dreams and now is a nurse at St George’s hospital. It is important to have ambition and what has helped me continue growing as a woman, sister, mum and daughter was my mum. She did a degree when she was in her 40’s/50’s and I admire that.

When doing parkrun there are people of different ages. You have children, teens, middle age and elderly and are as fit as anything and gone on to do 100 parkrun’s, when I have done my 4th and so its never too late.

In fact now I am in my 40’s have more confidence by living and finding out what my capabilities are and feel that I have gone through a tough time and now have a more drive, to follow my dreams, more than anything and glad I have had the jobs I’ve had, taking part in fundraising events and doing things I never imagined. There was no such thing as a blog, Youtube and social media.

Life can be a surprise and when I went to dancing school one of he teachers had a terrible accident which caused her to break her leg and quite seriously and took on dancing and it was through dancing she made a full recovery and became a dancing teacher and I will never forget her. So if there is something you want to do then you can. Believe in yourself, never give up and if you have stories of achieving your dreams, please share below in the comment section.

I will be doing Race For Life again on the Epsom Downs. Please check out my just giving page:

Here is my Worksheet which is free to download and print and will help you Change Your Life.

Breaking Barriers and The Fear of accomplishing

accomplishing, building self belief, fighting the fear, health and wellbeing, Monthly training

Last Saturday completing 5KM doing Parkrun. I kept thinking about it but too the plunge and now really enjoy even though I get nervous every time.

This is part a series of blogs to Help you make changes to your life and will be for the Month of April on this website along with some videos on my Educational Youtube channel.

Here is the first blog.

Every Friday when I know I am going to be doing Parkrun on Saturday, I get the usual anxious feelings in my stomach. It is nerves and find it hard to think of anything else, until I have done it. It is breaking a barrier of what I know is challenging but know by doing the Parkrun I am going to feel on top of the world.

As a kid I remember watching Samantha Fox she was a page three girl, who poised topless on in the Sun Newspaper everyday. She had already been singing but got the page three girl job, only to cross the barrier once again and her debut single “Touch Me” was released in 1986 and was a success.

Kylie Minogue had sung as a kid but was firstly known for her acting and then became a pop sensation and both Samantha Fox and Kylie Minogue have had brilliant careers, in music. Gary Lineker who was a brilliant Striker for clubs and England, being part of the famous, 1990 World Cup squad, now is known from his presenting on Match Of the Day and now going to be leaving. Many may not remember his goals for Tottenham, playing for Barcelona and playing for England.

I went from hating P.E at school when we had to do running and took part in the Great North Run and made me change my mindset of seeing what I could accomplish if I crossed a barrier that I never entered my brain to do, a half marathon?

Have faith in yourself and yes your fear can contribute you in not crossing a barrier, because of what if this happened and that? You will never know unless you get up and give it a try. If you find it is not for you and noone got hurt then that is fine. You have to challenge yourself to see what you are capable of and think “What if it is a success?”. Give it a try.

I love Strictly Come Dancing. Watching Chris McCausland dance and he was amazing and Rose Ayling-Ellis. Not saying that because of their disability, but the fact that they didn’t restrict themselves and opened our eyes to “Its anybody’s competition” not matter of what, may be a barrier to some but them not and having self belief.

So break a barrier and see what you can do and accomplish. It’s never too late and will be writing a blog on this too.
