If you read my blog on my website page:

https://everydaylivingandlifestyle.wordpress.com 

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.

Really lovely story, sad but has a happy ending.

It is sad that someone who was so young and had so much more life to live but was cut short by tragedy.

Please share your stories too I would love to hear from you?

Finding Peach and Mind, get inspired

Sometimes I have to admit that on certain days I do get so overwhelmed that all I want to do is crawl up into a ball and just disappear.

Being parent I find can add to those feelings, as much as being parent it is rewarding too. There are sometimes no space for me to scream out “Don’t do this”.

So finding peace of mind can really help. The one thing that always brings me peace of mind in an instant is music, I couldn’t live without it, it has been my thing I have loved and given me escapism all the time, when times were tough.

It is important I feel to have peace of mind, just to breath in and  breath out, and switch off from the everyday pressures that I  have faced.

Here are some tunes that bring me peace of mind at the moment.

I love these types of tunes as they instantly help ease the mind and let feel at peace with myself, and I fill that is important to gain control of the mind. There have been times where I have lost control and when that happens you can end up in a very dark place in your mind.

Listening to some chill out music can be empowering aswell as giving peace of mind.

As soon as I hear it, it makes me stand still and take moment to just listen to my breathing and switch to my positive and empowering side of the mind.

So if you are stressing out find you peace of mind, whatever helps whether it is in music or getting fit, peace of mind is what we all need at times.

Many thanks for reading,

Get yourself a notebook, or a piece of card or pin board, and put everything from pictures, to articles to video clips that inspire you, as this can help with anxiety and feelings of depression.

It is good to have a focus. I want to create my inspiration board for this blog, as there are videos and stories, I have come across through Youtube and books that have inspired me and could inspire you too.

I support mental health 100% because I have had mental health problems too, and can effect anybody, whether they are a millionaire to someone living on the streets, and can effect us at any point. Sometimes it may not be for one reason, but for many reasons.

I found this video on Youtube, by Tulisa, who was part of a band called N Dubz and an X Factor judge. She shares her story and others in this documentary, of young carers who’s parents had suffered with mental health, and how it can have a growing impact on young peoples lives.

This video was uploaded by Katie Thornton.

It makes me think of Henry, when he grows up, I hope he doesn’t have to be my carer when I am older, or will he suffer the same as he grows to have feelings and emotions.

I hope you find this video inspiring too, and let me know of videos and stories that you have found inspiring, I would be interested to find out.

Many thanks for reading,
