HELLO! It is almost 2026 and so it is time to make those changes. For me I want more of what I had experienced this year (2025) and so don’t see it as starting a fresh. For me it means more growing as a person and focus on my son and on my own learning. I love to learn and listen to others that have had success as a author, right blogs and successful on Youtube and find out what works and what doesn’t.
My reading has grown so much and a habit I have stuck to. I enjoyed the walks I did, even when I was reluctant and trying out Park run and would like to try out more fitness clubs. I liked the trips we went on and met up with my eldest cousin. It was good to see family and wish it could be more often.
These are free to download and print. I post them weekly and thank you for those who have liked them and will post more come the new year.

If you are not wanting to meet with friends, then ask yourself, “Why?” and talk to that critic that’s in your mind. It will always be there. because its part of your brain protecting you but we have to push it away and meet with friends and if it doesn’t go well then noone can keep you there and it is your choice.
Will you feel left out?
Like you are missing out?
I would often feel like that a lot and I realise it was because I wouldn’t go with them and it was a personal attack, when seeing pictures on Facebook. Now I have realised, is that, no they’ve not sending me a message to say I was uninvited and often too caught up in seeing other people myself and when I did got out I would want to stay out all evening.
When I hear the word “NO” I feel like I am in a car stepping on the breaks all of sudden.
My mind is resisting right now. I want to clean the Freezer but its given me a dread feeling. What if I can’t get it clean? Should I film in a vlog? My mind is overactive and the doubt just seeps in and before I know it, that job does not get done as I weighing up the dos and don’ts.
I have my finances to go through. I feel my mind resistance in doing so and it drives me up the wall. So I am going to go through my finances, no matter what my mind is saying, but listen to my gut and know that once it is done this weekly task then that’s it updated, until next week.
It is up to me and what I want to get out of this day. I enjoyed yesterday writing whilst having the tennis on and watching a bit of Youtube. So lets see what I do next and yes if my mind says NO, then I listen to be my gut and ignore the self doubt and weighing up the Consequences.

Hello! So tomorrow it is April Fools Day and means that we maybe fooled tomorrow. They bound to do them on TV. It also means it is the last week of school and it is the Easter Holidays.
Today is the last Cheat Sheet for March 2025 and so here are some ideas of what to do during the holidays.
I have had a successful week and please tell me how you are getting on if you are doing the Autumn Reset. There is a comment box below. So the one thing I wanted to completed was my courses I was doing. I did one in life coaching and then counselling and have now been completed and it is good feeling and so I can focus on the other areas, like my next book of a series I am creating called mum and me. My first one has already been published and so here is a link if you’d like to check it out: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Mum-Me-Gucci-Tits-Virtue/dp/B0BGNF4LNF
I want to complete the first draft of the second book and sort out my bedroom. Yesterday, I did film a quick declutter of my closet and getting rid of items and what I want to keep and feels good to say good bye to stuff and the clutter is going.
I am using my mornings to focus on my book and reading to help get it together and going through the first book and going to do a bit more plotting and using my notes to help build my story and it is taking shape.
What one thing can you do each today that will help you stay on track?
So I have a weekly planner on Notion but you can us a piece of a blank paper and with open with a calendar in front of you to work out the time you have to spare. If you do the school run mark this down, along with appointments and travel, and what gaps do you have. I remember watching Sunday brunch ( a UK TV programme on Sunday’s on Channel 4) they had Tom Fletcher from McFly sister, Carrie and she writes her books on the train to work and what time of the day do you have the most energy? I find it is the mornings.
I use google calendar and to block schedule.
What’s your main focus to reach the outcome in doing this years autumn reset?
So why are the areas you want to complete important to you in completing?
For me it is having the items that make me feel happy and have a good more productive space where I can write and want to get back into crafting and so the more I can sort out the more I can have a space to do my crafting, writing and sleep in.
I like to have a space to have a cup of tea beside my bed and a mirror and just make it a perfect nest for me and not have too much on the floor and not feel so closed in.
I want to eventually do everything in the shed and workout there and this will take time, because we have had the outside and roof sorted and cleaned and decluttered in there, but still needs to be decorated and made so it not cold being in there.
Do what you can and set your goals for it and reflect.
Can you have peace when you are trying to get to your kids to school or catching the train to go to work and have to come home and do some housework? It can be a juggling act and so when on the train just spend time looking out of the window and visioning your day and at lunchtime catch up on listening to a playlist or audiobook on your phone away from colleagues who may want chat about work, but is the last thing you want to do.
When I am working on building content I will have the TV off so I can be fully focused and walking noticing what is around me and allow my feet to walk and really helps to clear my mind and refocus.
Listen to your body and mind and what it needs. Yesterday I was not good, I had an allergic reaction to something and hadn’t slept, so took some medicine and didn’t film a vlog (vlog Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@typicallondongal) took a break from my laptop and just did nothing and I feel so good for that and today Saturday 28th September, I feel myself getting back to feeling normal, and it so happened to be my birthday.
Sometimes you just need to rest and your body will tell you. If your sick it means you have to slow down as your health is priority. Noone wants to be sick, everyone wants that boost of energy and positivity, so if your body is aching, your nose is running, like me had a rash and didn’t sleep well feeling “This is too much” pull yourself back and rest.
Everybody wants peace and quiet at times and this is why the reset is good, because if one of your areas you want to work on it is too have more peace and quiet, then make that happen. Schedule it in and let your family know and put a “Do not disturb” on the door and have a afternoon nap, do a bit of reading, journaling, meditation or watch a TV series, without your children interrupting, let them know its parents rest time. You can involve your family to all have a bit of peace and quiet, by doing a puzzle, watch a film or a reading hour for example and wind down properly each day.
I am a lot better today as I slept and glad for that time and reminded myself to “Switch Off ” and “Concentrate on my health” and thankful that I did that and so if your feeling rough, as also I am on my period, sorry if TMI, but can affect me too, in terms of sleep and energy, so listen to what your body tells you and look after yourself.
I hope these blogs help you and lets all work together to grow in learning about your body and mind so you become healthier and calmer.
Everyone can build a castle
