Adapting and evolving after another crazy week

My life is still bonkers!

Unless I get completely carried away, this is going to be a fairly short blog this week as I'm absolutely exhausted but in a happy, satisfied physical way rather than mentally exhausted which has been the norm recently.


Following a mini-meltdown last week involving tears and tantrums with all the house issues, me and Mr Bob took ourselves outside, gave ourselves a good talking to and have attacked this week with complete gusto.  We finally said to ourselves "so what if the blah di blah falls off, so what if the so and so is not working, it's fixable, everything is feckin' fixable so why are we putting so much pressure on ourselves".

We did have the opportunity to put this new found approach into action as we started the week with no hot water.  Deep breath, ok, it's fine, we'll just contact the boiler company.  They can't get to us for another two days.  Fine, just hose me down after my run.  Not a problem.

Once the boiler was sorted though, we were on a roll this week.  Our minds are truly focused as we have to decorate the orangery and the lounge before this Friday, ready for the new carpet and blinds to be fitted.

This weekend has also seen another new chapter in the Fit for It story as I saw clients in person and did my first live boot camp since March.  It was really lovely to see everyone and have the instant interaction and reaction.  I did have to rein them in a bit though as they seemed to have gone rogue during the time on their own with Zoom so a gentle butt kicking was needed!


During all the house drama, despite being very consistent with my running and exercise, at times it's felt a bit forced and I've struggled.  This morning however was a completely different story as I just kept running and running as I felt so good and ended up doing almost 18k!

It's been a real rollercoaster recently and I know that many of you have felt the same and despite knowing we all still have a long way to go, I believe we've all become pretty adept at evolving and moving forwards.

There's only one way to deal with difficult situations in my book and that's confronting the issues head on ... after a tantrum of course!


On that note, I'm going to end my blog here as like I say, I'm exhausted and also very hungry which is not a good combination.

Have a fabulous week, take a deep breath and face up to any problems that come your way.

Time Management ... why there's no such thing

  We can't 'manage' time; but we can manage ourselves You hear so much about 'time management' , there's 1000's of courses dedicated to the subject.  In reality though, we can't 'manage' time, it's going to pass regardless, the same 24 hours every day.  However, we CAN   'manage' ourselves, our tasks and our interruptions each day.   We have a love / hate relationship with time depending on what we are doing at that moment, we complain when it goes too fast, too slow, we blame external factors and other people for 'wasting our time' . In order to truly control how we use our time wisely, we must first of all look at our own personal energy levels. TIME                         vs                         ENERGY                           ...

Amazing April

Why hello there and welcome to Amazing April - strap yourselves as we enter Q2 of 2022!! Throughout Q1 we set the foundations, tone and theme of what we wanted our year to look like.  We made a few adjustments, did some resets along the way and set up our systems and routines.   In Q2, we're going to go a little bit deeper into those goals and put some more context around them. Take a moment to think about the goals, habits and routines you have put in place ... do you know WHY you are doing them?  Yes, yes, of course you do, don't you?   Let's look at an example of one of my health goals: "Incorporate daily stretching into my routine" That's all well and good but WHY do I want to do that? It will help me become more flexible - nah, not good enough It will help prevent tight muscles - hmm, keep going "Incorporating daily stretching into my routine will help prevent tight muscles, allowing me to run more freely and ultimately will stop me being in excruc...

Making assumptions when it comes to age

Image
I've been thinking about ageism quite a lot recently and how it can affect us, and no, before you accuse ME of being ageist, I'm also referring to how it affects young people too.  In fact, it can affect many age groups - children, teenagers, adults, senior citizens.  Obviously, most of this blog will feature on ageism from my point of view and the age I am now because that's simply where I'm at right now. Think back to when you first started out in your career, no doubt you were anxious, nervous, self-conscious and worried that you wouldn't be taken seriously and that other people would think you had no experience or knowledge As you get older, you start to experience very similar feelings, anxious, nervous, self-conscious and worried that people will also be thinking you've lost your drive and ambition and that you're not up-to-speed with how fast technology is moving and such like. Before I started in my current role, I went for an interview at another co...
