Being a Youtube enthusiast I came across this video by Muchelleb it is about 22 habits of successful people.
It is always good to have some habits that you follow that makes your days successful, that is why I make my bed everyday because it helps set up my day and not want to slip back into bed, and makes me get things done.
I would love to know some habits you have that has made you successful.
Check out my new Self Confidence video, I filmed some time ago, but is still relevant. I talk about how I no longer make resolutions, but life changes instead.
You would have seen my brief mention of change of career.
I am soon to be a Nursery Practitioner or Nursery Assistant, and I knew exactly that, that was going to be my new career, I had, had enough of working in a call centre, and wanted a change.
It has been a challenge looking after my son, but now he soon to start school I didn’t want to stop looking after children and wanted to work either in a playgroup setting or nursery, as it is so rewarding to help children develop as they go through their early stages of life.
I am at the mind set now that I have go for what I want, rather then settling for any kind of job, that will do. I have had enough of that.
I know it will be challenging, as I am going to be responsible for other peoples children, but I am looking forward to the change and the challenge.
I have gotten in the living the moment, rather than daydreaming of being in a different place, and wishing I was doing something else, rather than living for each day.
Now I am in that mindset, I do feel life is working out better and don’t feel like I am stuck in a rut.
So go for your dreams and what you want to do, not for what you have to do.
Everybody has the right to live their dream so go for it, and never be afraid of set backs, just keep following you heart and you will get to the destination you have dreamed of.
Life is full of hurdles, we go through some good times and some bad, and it is how you react to the bad times that can help you concentrate on the good.
I have been watching some inspiring videos of those with terminal illnesses, or have been fighting an illness, and I didn’t purposely go to watch these, I came across them via Youtube, and has made me put my own life in perspective.
The first person I started watching was a young lady called Emily Hayward, who was battling with cancer. She sadly lost her life only a couple of weeks ago, but her videos were so uplifting, that you kind of oversaw the illness she was facing. She made you understand what it is like to go through such a battle. She was such a fighter that I think how she came across and lived her life, will live on, and will help those who also fighting illnesses like cancer.
I also came across a lady called Charlotte Eades who had a Brain Tumor. She developed a Youtube Channel not just about her fight with cancer, but her love for beauty, fashion and handbags. She filmed way up until she died, and her family have carried on making videos to help others and helped to raise money to help those with brain tumors, so more research can go into brain related cancer.
I then came across some videos called My Last Days, first one is of a girl named Kat who was battling Gastric Cancer. To warn you some scenes you might find distressing, but wanted to share it, as her story is so inspiring and she has a wonderful surprise at the end, and does something for a little boy whom had leukemia.
Then I came across a girl named Claire Wineland, who also has a Youtube channel. See her story below.
Life is full of challenges, but seeing things from someone else eyes can really help you face those challenges, not allow them to predict how you feel.

How do handle stress? I stress all the time, like today I was worried in case I didn’t meet my friend on time today or if I would get back home in time to pick up my son from nursery. I realized that I had nothing to worry about, as I got there and back from my destination with no problems at all and even had time to spare.
I read this article which details about how some people handle stress, I found this as a useful tool should I stress out again.
Wasn’t sure where I wanted to write this blog, but I felt I needed to add it to this site, as when we are trying to conquer our goals, the one thing that can stop us is isolation. We can often feel like we aren’t part of society and alone.
When I feel isolated the one thing I do is get out of the house and go for a walk. The worst thing you can do is to stay in doors, home alone. Getting out is important, as isolation usually means you need a new environment, and space.
Feeling isolated can lead us to feeling depressed, so getting out will help stop the cobwebs, which is what I call depressive thoughts, from emerging.
If you do get invited out, unless there is trouble getting to somewhere, take up the invite and go.
Isolation means you need to be with people, and you probably find that they too have felt isolated and alone, all they needed just like you, a friend.
If someone does talk to you, give them acknowledgement, instead of trying to ignore them.
It is so easy at times to isolate yourself especially if you are a new mum for example, but this is where meeting other mums for example, can really help. Knowing you aren’t alone in feeling like you a walking meal on tap, as from my own experience, as much as I love my son I did feel often like a walking cow.
Getting out is important for isolation and a new environment can really do the trick.
