Hello and welcome! New Start as it is Monday, once more and it is time for a new Cheat Sheet. I post these every week, to help you to live your best life and not be bogged down with tasks.
Life should be enjoyed and not a burden. It should be a blessing not a hindrance, so this week is it a list of Things to do in Autumn. They are a free printable to download and print, if you wish too.
It is getting darker early and I love the Coziness and having a nice hot bath and feel blessed being at home and having a nice autumnal meal and drink, being in some cozy clothes and just chilling watching TV or like now, on my laptop sharing tips on Happy Living.
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.
So it is end of April and means that my Change Your Life training has come to an end. Please check out my last video I did. The videos will be left up on Youtube and on this site and so if you hadn’t managed to do this training then you can do so I am all about flexibility.
So I hope you enjoyed it. I hope that you no longer feel you have no life and nothing to be credited for, but you do. WE ALL DO! Have self belief and take your time. Changes can take time but when you start to do changes each day you will see the results and so be lifted and have time for yourself. I want to help you In getting a job you love, or in a home you’ve been wanting to live in, take on a hobby or a trip to a city you’ve always wanted to go and visit and feel brighter in the mornings and look forward to each day.
I enjoy my life now. Know I am not on a huge income, I still have a bad days, but now I have more resilience and not allow things to get me down. I want to help you all to give yourself credit and celebrating you and your life.
So next will be my Summer Project 2025 and so lots more to come.
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:
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 myEducational 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.
Hello! It is the start of a new week and today I have been updating my google calendar and lists on Notion, getting tasks that are Overdue. This weeks Cheat Sheet is tips on Having a Fresh Start to having a Reset.
Hello and welcome! It is a new Week and means it is time for a new Cheat Sheet. These are free to download and print. I post them every Monday. This week is all about Ten Ways To Help You Feel about Yourself and Your life.
I love to use a journal for different purposes and having a blank or journal for me to do that. The first thing I like to do is think about each day. I set goals and decide what I want to focus on. I am designing a journal at the moment. I am using it to junk journal. I also use it to store photos and special memories. I have designed one for my son. I have been meaning to print off photos and write down what we did. He can keep it forever. Journaling helps me think about the good times I have had, not just about the bad days.
I love to journal and try to do it each day. Even just a paragraph can be enough. Sometimes I list things I want to do and places I’d like to go. This includes where my son would like to do and have one for my fitness too. Some want to stick to one. There are no real rules just write what’s in your head.
Anything you’re excited about or things you are looking forward to. Some may want to put in a vision board or mood board. Jamie Oliver does a journal about his garden and did a show about it. There are so many things you can put down and keep track of where you are in life.
There is bullet journaling and some make handmade journals. Its just about how is it going to serve you.
I like to see a blank page and write what is in my heart and mind.
I have always kept a diary/journal since a kid and not kept them all as it helps me to forget about the things that were in my mind in the passed, what I didn’t want to hold on to. I journal to make sense of things that I am finding hard to consume and things I have learned from books, TV and online training videos. I do have a educational Channel please check it out here: https://www.youtube.com/@CarrieEducationalYoutube-ws4xp
Hello and welcome! Here is my weekly Cheat Sheet that I post every Monday and is free to download and keep. At the beginning of the year I like to set goals and make life changes. The one life change that I have kept since last year was to read a lot more. I read in the morning and in the evening. I brush my teeth first thing in the morning. This year, in 2025, I have begun putting myself more together. I started styling my hair and wearing more makeup. It was a choice to keep or dispose. I decided I wanted to keep my makeup and use it.
I set my goals for the year yearly seasonally too, 2 years ahead and 5 years. Do what works for you. Why not put these cheat sheets somewhere you will easy see them.
I want to send my love to those in LA dealing with the wildfires. It is life destroying. It is heartbreaking to see.
It is now 2025 and boy am I looking forward to the new year. It means making changes to your life and make better than the last. Well try, I know many are snowed in, so I hope you get inspiration from my weekly Cheat Sheets I will posting every Monday to build your life so it is better.
Everyone can build a castle
