This is completely free to download and hope you are liking them and please give your feedback to help grow my content in my blog and I do write other blogs too.
If you want to make changes in your life then start from going through what is getting at you, and needs sorting out. This time four years ago I lost sense of myself and things were happening according to my mind, to realise that actually it is okay and I was in debt, staying in bed all the time and felt very alone and that my life was just too hard to face.
Now it is June 2024 I feel so much better taking on new opportunities as I am now working Voluntary for Epsom Hospital Radio, which I wanted to do when I left school, but had no idea of how to go about it, I published another book I Mum&Me and editing another to publish and got back into my fitness, building steps and doing weight training and focusing on my son as there was a time where I hardly saw him at all and have a stronger bond than ever before and I love him more each, playing sports with him when he is not moaning, and got my life back and is growing more and more each day.
There are still so much I want to do and as humans we are growing everyday, and ask yourself, what do you value in life? I had to change to get to the next stage in my life and not holding back from opportunities and building back my confidence within myself and belief, and planning what else I want in my life and taking action.
I’ve being watching a lot of Amy Winehouse, who build her own successful writing music and singing and raw songs as she wrote about what was happening in her life, but sadly she left the world when she was at the height of her career and it feels me with such sadness that she was not in a good place, yet had major success.
So it is not about having it all but finding what makes you happy in the world we live in and not allow life get to us and to make your stronger, and live your life to the best of your ability.
Hello and welcome to another post. This week was a bit rushed as there were appointments were made ages ago and so was thinking I had a clear week had to reschedule and manage my content in the little gaps and doing two courses so had to change my plans but that’s life.
In this video I am sharing https://youtu.be/H4L8hdfj_mE getting to grips with life and getting my arse in gear as I guilty of putting things off so I schedule when I know I have a clear day to get it done. I am giving my kitchen in Epsom cupboard cleaned inside, and cleaning is not my favourite thing, so I need a clear day to know not to put it off and get it done.
I filmed a vlog that is coming on my vlog channel, Typical London Gal Carrie Holmes, of cleaning my packaging and cutlery draw. Jobs that I like to do, but want to take my time in doing and not rush. I am not a fan of rushing.
So I hope you enjoy this video and if you’d like to know when I post a blog or video subscribe to my educational Youtube channel and is completely free and this blog site.
My life has changed a lot and it has taken a long time to find my place in life where I feel happy and content. It has been due to changes. I this morning as I write this blog got up at 5am to have extra hour to work on different projects, spend time playing with my son and following my dreams by making sure I stop feeling so anxious each day.
This is in the mornings, and it is taking a lot of testing to find my most energetic time. I no longer get tired in the afternoon and use this time to exercise unless I have gone for a walk outside, and start my day. This allows me to edit my book I am currently writing and continue doing a course I am doing, to help build my skills and knowledge.
Second tip:
Make it realistic and achievable.
Once you have found the time when you feel energy, then begin to go through your other habits.
I had been trying to get up earlier but kept failing, and the one morning it just happened after the little sleep that night, and felt wide awake, and got up at 4:30am, but found this tough to keep this going and wasn’t realistic for me so I get up now between 5 to 5:30am and suits me, and I make my first cup of tea of the day, to edit my book. There was a time I would go for a run, as it started to get lighter each morning, but not realistic for me now, and when I began last year to start going for a run again, I picked up an injury at the top of my leg, so I go for a early morning walks, once my son has gone to school. It is not realistic for me to go for a walk earlier now so do it is once my son is off to school.
Third tip:
Start in one place at a time
So what area in your life is important to you that you want to change? Take a picture and brainstorm ideas of how to sort this area out and how you can begin to take action. So I needed help in finding time to edit my book and so do it in the morning so then it is done and then work do some of my Life Coaching course I am doing, and block my time.
I use Google Calendar and it is good to get these areas worked on first, then it is getting dressed, breakfast and getting my son ready for school, so it is good to find a good routine and to stop repetitiveness. As humans we like variety and so do something different each day and so I will spend time between the gaps of my day, writing a blog and catch up on Youtube or TV.
Set some time to do whatever you choose
This is free choice time so I can do whatever I like and it really helps me to wind down and reset my mind and have breaks to get chores done and clear the washing up, put on some laundry on and clear clothes and sort out my sons clothing.
I will make sure I take time away from my laptop and it has made a difference and read a book, and just make sure I am properly relaxed to help me have a goodnights sleep and will do some reading, and currently reading: The Healing Power of Mindfulness and very interesting and like doing some mindfulness and taking in what is around me and a good way to relax the body and mind.

Please check out my new Life Coaching video for my Summer Project 2024 talking about Everyone’s Capable of Living the best life.
I am not a rich chick, not saying I don’t want to be, but happy now, but growing and growing so it develops even better and set goals and practice positive habits and creating a plan, to grow my life to the best that it can be.
Life can take a turn where it is full of bad luck, then good luck. How do you deal with bad luck? Allow it to come through and it will pass. Life is full of chapters, and my life has begun a new chapter. I am now working on radio for Epsom Hospital, today I met some of the other volunteers and was really great to meet them, and shared their stories of those who are also doing shows for the radio station.
There was a while where I took a different path and my life turned upset down. I have now gone through this and realised a lot about me, how strong I am and come resilient to bad luck and that parts of life need to end for a new Chapter to begin, and whenever I have had a bump in the road I have come through stronger than ever.
I’m eating a chocolate cookie, which I don’t eat often, but my eating habits have changed. I have been working on my walking and fitness, by walking once a week to my sons school when he does his afterschool club, trying different meals. We tried a Chicken White Wine Sauce from ASDA and was really nice and started to do cook again.
Life has different chapters through it and some people, like I do, find change hard. It can be tough but for new things to happen, we have to let go of things in your life, for you to continue. This doesn’t mean a break up but a change of plan, if something is not working anymore. It could be sleep, money, an injury so you have had to stop the exercise you were doing, or had a terrible illness and it is cleared.
It can be hard to accept that you’ve changed the path to your life, and had to take another route, but change can be good as it stops us from being bored and feeling unhappy about life, and stops it from coming to a standstill.
I moved to the South Coast of England for a while and felt so good to have done that, because working for a holiday camp was something I wanted to do since a kid too, along with working radio and never became a red coat but it still helped me to build a life of my own, which back at London, I felt my friends lives were growing and mine wasn’t. So going away for a while to complete another goal, it helped stop the feelings that my life was going nowhere.
So I hope this new chapter in my life continues to form and please subscribe if you’d like to be alerted when I put up another post.
Hey you! Yes I do have a new video for you today and hope it helps you get your life together if it is not already. I find the mornings are my time to get my editing done on books I am writing and study. I am doing a Life Coaching course, and watch a bit of Youtube just whilst I have my first cup of tea for the day.
I like to make sure that I do some tidying the morning or the evening after dinner and switch things off as I have a overactive mind and if on my laptop and mobile before bed it will effect my sleep.
So I hope you have found my blogs and videos helpful for you to have a better time and better year, and remember please subscribe, as then you won’t miss out on anything I post.
