Please check out this video I did about Doubting our capabilities that can stops us from having the life you want. Those That do vs those that don’t

my video of doubting our capbalities.

I tend to do this a lot, and I don’t give myself credit and can be my own worse enemy and now I can say I am glad to be me, which has taken a long time and taken a lot of me to realise that.

I don’t hide away because of my lack of confidence, but use it to help give me a good mindset and to help other people wherever I can.

Being in a Mentalhealth hospital did help me a lot and so thankful for the NHS as I did need that time, and it was a learning curve for me .

You see that they are all their because of broken homes, feeling scared of reality and they not being fully heard.

Just to let you know my new book Mum&Me is up on Amazon if you would like to check this out: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B096TJDGPH

10 weekly habits, blog, everyone can build a castle, everyonecanbuildacastle.wordpress.com, life coaching blog, Organizing my days and weeks

So, I have been filming some Day in a life videos and talk about my work that I do in terms of writing books, blogs and filming Youtube videos, and that includes my 10 Weekly Habits that help me Establish a good routine.

I have a new book written and published so check it out here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B096TJDGPH

Preview into my tidy work desk

You have to have a routine that disciplines you in mind and physically.

So, the first habit I do is:

  1. Plan the night before and on Fridays plan for the weekend
  2. Go through my notebooks of content I haven’t posted, that can be made into a blog or a video for my Youtube channel
  3. Spend my time after writing my books and blog posts throughout the day in the morning to spend sometime writing in my journals
  4. I now go walking twice a day and fit in a 6 minute workout on some days
  5. Spend time even though I find Cleaning tideous still have that time to tidy, as it does help to reset yourself
  6. Do some research, by watching other Youtube channels, reading and time listening to an audiobook and watching some TV and replenish my thirst and eat my breakfasts, lunch and dinner away from the computer
  7. Go through my emails and clean out my email accounts
  8. Have no live blogs going up on Sundays
  9. No Day in a life videos on Thursdays and often Mondays too
  10. Checking and updating my social media pages

It seems a lot but it works, and yes I do mix it up too. As I love the film “Groundhog day” but to keep from becoming bored and continously inspired by what is around me.

So what habits do you do weekly? Please comment below.

Many thanks,

Free Reward Cliparts, Download Free Clip Art, Free Clip Art on ...Hello and welcome! It is the middle of the week and I have started to bullet journal again, and going through what I have achieved over the weekends and weekdays has been a real eye opener to see what I can do just within two to three days.

Life isn’t really all about quantity but quality, making everyday count from the moment you wake up to the moment you go to bed.

I am all about productivity and using the time I have free to not just focus on what I have to do or go to do, but on what I want to do.

I like spending time being peaceful, watching the world go by not worrying about my to do’s for half an hour to an hour, and just be.

Going through everything I have accomplished through the day has helped take things steady and have even gotten round to making a proper blog schedule that I can stick to, and that has helped with having more time to be just with myself in my mind, not having to rush anywhere.

Acknowledging your achievements can empower your look on life and create more abundance, and value for each day. Being stuck in four walls which many have had to do, because of COVID 19 has taken its toll, so now we can travel and explore again, I can do more to fulfill my life which gives me a better wellbeing.

Life doesn’t have to be all about working hard, but living, being spontaneous on some days, going beyond the norm and creating a more happier and stable life.

Many thanks for reading,

‘It has nothing to do with instinct — I’m just a born leader!’

Hello and welcome. It is almost the end of Saturday and wanted to link this blog I have written on my google blogger site, about The Truth About Growing Up, because to be a success and reach your dreams, you have to build your confidence.

As posted in my last two posts setting goals and creating positive daily and weekly habits can help, but respect yourself, and treat yourself how you want others to treat you.

We can be so hard on ourselves when we all have qualities and strengths, so believe in yourself, and I hope this blog I link below will help with building your low self esteem.

Many thanks to all those that have followed my blog so far it really means the world to me.

Hello it is the end of the week and I have been putting together my daily and weekly habits that I want to comply for myself, to help kick start my days and weeks.

Here is a preview of my daily and weekly habits to help give your ideas of what to do:

What I must do each day

Below is my weekly must do list:

planning for the week ahead

What I plan to do is to print them off laminate them and cross each item off once completed each day.

Creating positive habits is a great way to make time for yourself aswell as looking after others, especially if you have children.

Set a side time to do things you want to do, rather them being dictated by someone else.

Be as creative as you want to be, and this also sets a positive example for your children, to give themselves love and attention, aswell helping them to become independent.

Many thanks for reading,

4 Reasons to Write Down Goals | Set goals quotes, Goal quotes ...

Hi and welcome to another blog post on Everyone Can Build a Castle. So I have set out my goals for this year 2020 again, as they had slightly changed.

I have separated them into these categories,

  • Personal
  • Financial
  • Henry my son
  • Writing
  • Blog goals
  • Health and Wellbeing

You can set yours up how you wish, there is as far as I am concerned no right way or wrong way of doing so, its your goals so you can create them however you wish to.

I used Microsoft Publisher for mine and I have created a printable via microsoft word, that you can print out and use if you so wish, or use it as a guide to create your own.

Goals sheet printable

When creating goals break them down, and create daily goals for yourself to help get you near your ultimate goals you wish to achieve.

Remember to add some kind of self-care to your goals as we all need that down time.

If you have any questions then please feel free to ask. You can do so my commenting below.

Many thanks for reading,

Take 5 if Lockdown is getting too much

So if you didn’t know I also write a parenting blog, well two in fact which are:

https://theparentingadventurestipsandtricks.wordpress.com/

https://theparentingadventuresthebirthofmyson.wordpress.com/

Well tonight once again Henry my son decided to play up and not go to bed, and sometimes as with life some unplanned events can happen which often we see is beyond our control.

That’s why sometimes it is good just to Take 5. What I mean is taking 5 minutes or so just to take a step back and breath.

This can happen when being responsible for anything in our lives, including running a business.

So what do you do?

Free Cartoon Of Stressed Out Person, Download Free Clip Art, Free ...

In the end I thought go out of the room, let him play about whilst I gather myself together, got some bits I needed downstairs and bought it upstairs and took a shower, and I have to say I felt a whole lot better.

When I looked in on him afterwards he was fine again and settled in bed.

We all need sometime to just breath and take some time for ourselves to recuperate, we are living machines that constantly thinking, doing and acting, and when children don’t settle or someone is sick or some money didn’t go in as expected it can really be like “For God sake let me have a break”, so if things like Lockdown is getting under your skin take 5 and you will feel a whole lot better.

Lockdown was beyond our control and if you are having to work from home and look after children it can take its toll and you can be the one who feels like screaming.

I am sure there are parents who wish to do a runner rather than your kids during lockdown, as we look for endless things to do, which is still limited at the moment.

So if you need to take 5 do it because its the only way we can stop ourselves from going insane.

Great men of today

Today we remember a great man. The world needs more people like ...

Hello and welcome to another blogpost. In this post I am writing about the great men of today.

The first person who springs to mind is Tony Robbins, who has inspired and touched people’s lives like you wouldn’t believe and who I found just by browsing the internet, literally and looking for an answer to my questions about my life.

He breaks it down for you and makes you see that if you change the pattern you currently live in you can reshape your life to be better than what it is.

Then there is people such as Russell Brand who have had some dark times but has come out the other side to help people with their wellbeing and mindset.

As a kid the one person I loved for years, was Glenn Hoddle he was my pin up after my obsession with Tony Stamp played by Graham Cole, in the UK series The Bill, had laid to rest and I was a super fan of his and even bought a Spurs CD just so I called have Glen Hoddle and Chris Waddle song Diamond lights.

As far as I am concerned it was Glenn Hoddle who first started to change Chelsea Football club’s future and contributed to being the club they are today, being one of the top 5 clubs in England.

Some may disagree but for me he was the one who bought over another great man Ruud Gullit, who went onto manage the club and then bought in Vialli and Zola. We even had players such as Mark Hughes playing for us, and the rest as they say is history.

Then there is Mourinho “The Special One” who became our manager twice, the first time with him we won the Premiership, but the second time we didn’t do so well.

Of course we have to mention Sir Alex Ferguson who has left a legacy in football aswell at Manchester United like no other man, and one title after title and trophy after trophy and no one has matched up with him yet.

The season that he did first win the premiership was going to be his last if he didn’t win anything, but carried on to win a whole lot more.

There are some great men that have changed the world for the better and become a success over sheer determination and drive.

Then there are men that make you keep faith and love and laughter and that is Lee Mack, who real name is Lee McKillop.

I am sure there will be a whole lot more in the future to come.

So lets raise our glasses for these heroic men and praise what they do as father, brothers, uncles and even grandparents and men of the world and society.

Please stay safe and many thanks for reading,

Inspired to be a success

Dame Vera Lynn obituary | Music | The Guardian

I love being inspired by others and thrive on it a lot, and there is one person who springs to mind and that is of Dame Vera Lynn who sadly passed away today.

She didn’t come from a rich home but became a household name from a very young age singing to the troops who fought in the war and helped bring happiness through her music alive.

You don’t have to have loads of money to be a success, you just got to have shear determination and drive.

She wanted to help others through Lockdown by re-releasing her song We’ll meet again, to bring hope that we will see our love ones again after lockdown and she was right.

I grew up listening to Dame Vera Lynn’s music through my dad always playing her songs and would often play her version of There’ll always be an England.

She could have easily shied away from singing during the war and gone into hiding but she didn’t in fact it was through her music people kept their spirits high, and gave hope to others and was the pinnacle of her career and became more popular through producing music still during the war and even had her own show on the radio too.

To be success you have to do things out of the norm sometimes where other people would not dream of going, you do have to do things outside your comfort zone, to get a name for yourself.

That is why people like Martin Luther King became a household name because he spoke out about racism that others wouldn’t.

So lets celebrate and raise our glasses for those who inspire us and keep us going each day.

Stay safe and many thanks for reading,
