08/03/2013: Happy International Women’s Day!


With Mother’s day in two days time (in the UK) I’m grateful for the chance not only to celebrate my mum but to celebrate all women today. Powerful women, strong women. Sisters, daughters, aunts, grandmothers, great-grandmothers, nieces and cousins. There are so many people fighting for the rights of women everyday and every where in the world. Whether its domestic violence or discrimination and lack of freedoms, women’s issues need to be talked about. We need to encourage each other, help each other empower each other and love each other.

For all the women out there, have a great day! x

07/03/2013: Un-Interrrupted Focus

focus1

I was filling out an application form for a new job today. I decided to not let anything distract me and boy did it work!

I also noticed just how distracted I could become. Ever so often, I  would think about Facebook, my phone, Pinterest, what I needed to do later, what I wasn’t doing and should be doing, how I needed to sort out my bedroom (again) etc. Each time this happened I would say to myself “Ok, that is not urgent or important, focus on the task at hand” and get back to my work. I had to say it so many times! But it worked.

I completed the application form with and hour to spare and was able to browse the net to my heart’s content after. It felt like a revelation, a break through but it is something I should always have been doing and need to habitually do. It feels really good when you get something done and eliminates worry. So that is my challenge for the week: To set each task, focus on it, complete it then reward myself after if possible.

Make things happen

Good thing of the day: Job application completed and sent off! Hopefully I get it!
