Positive Post #3

Hey guys, 

The reason I thought of doing a positive post this week was because with results week coming up people can find the whole thing a bit daunting.

When I saw this quote I really thought it would be perfect for today's topic. The future is kind of a scary thing, especially when you have no idea what's in store for you. 

So the future, some people know exactly what they want from it, others might not have the slightest clue. Both of these things are OK. Nobody can tell you what you must do because in the end you have to do what makes you happy. 

Speaking from experience there is going to be a rush of emotion the day of results between nerves, extreme joy, relief and maybe some sadness. (I hope the last one won't happen to any of you)

You're going to need to take some time to take everything in because everyone has been waiting for this day for quite some time. 

In the end, no matter what is in the envelope, you did everything you could. If what you wanted is inside that well done. You deserve it because you worked your bottoms off to get there. If not, don't get too down. One thing I heard over that whole year and that summer was 'What's for you won't pass you by' and to me this saying could not be more true. 

For my results I didn't get what I wanted. I felt lost, confused and seriously had no idea what I was going to do. In the end I went to college but it just wasn't for me. I then made a big decision and decided to leave. For me this was one of my best decisions as I wasn't enjoying what I was doing but when I left and had some time to think I realised what I wanted. 

So yes the day that no one wants to think about is coming and everyone is starting to feel overwhelmed but all I can say is don't let what is in that envelope make you think your future is mapped out. Yes for some people it might be, but for others, if things didn't go as expected, there is so much for you out there. You just need to find it. 

Also good luck to everyone waiting on results. I'm sure you will all do great.

Tips on how to be positive and happy.

Hey everyone,
I thought I'd do a bit of a different post today on how to stay happy and positive. Lately I've been seeing people being a bit down and I don't really like it so I thought maybe this would help. (Maybe it won't but this post won't hurt anyone!)

Picture taken from here 

1. Spend time with people you care about - One of the most important things you can do is spend time    with the people that make you happy, be that friends or family. These are people you have grown up with 

you and know you better than anyone so they can instantly make you feel better. 

2. Don't dwell on the bad things - If we ever feel down one thing everyone does is dwell on everything that has gone wrong. By doing this you are stopping yourself from seeing the good things around you. If whatever bad thing you are thinking about has happened, it's in the past so there's no point in thinking what you could have done differently. Instead think about what you have and be grateful. 

3. Getting enough rest - Along with a lot of people, I am one who needs to work on their sleeping pattern. Sleep plays a vital role in how we feel. I know whenever I don't get enough sleep I am not one to be around, and I'm sure others are like that too. As we all know  7 1/2 hours sleep a night is what we need, so one night try get to bed early and see how you feel the next day. 

4. Exercise/eating healthy - No matter what, how you treat your body is going to affect how you feel. That means what you put into it and how you keep fit. I am one of those people that says they will do some kind of workout but then keeps putting it off. Eating healthily and doing a bit of exercise will suddenly make you feel brighter and refreshed even by doing a small 10 minutes. So get up and get out of the house and you'll feel the difference. 

5. Do things you like - This can be a number of things such a spending time with friends, listening to music, taking some time to yourself, etc. Instead of doing what everyone else wants to do, take some time to yourself and do what you love and you'll be sure to come out of it feeling happier.

6. Do something good - If you help somebody with something/ do a random act of kindness you will instantly feel better about yourself and more than likely put a smile on our face for most of the day. 

7. Work towards your goals - One way to do make yourself feel happier is by achieving something you want to. No matter how big/small if you want to do something do it. Life is to short to just think about it. If it's big start with baby steps and soon enough you'll get there. One thing I will say is do not let what others think stop you. It's what you want not what they want. 

8. Forgive people - Holding grudges is one thing that will stop you from being as happy as you want. You don't have to be best friends with this person if you don't want to, just be the bigger person and forgive and forget. A big weight will be lifted and you'll ten times better for it.  

9. Make plans - There is nothing better than making plans and having something to look forward to. Being able to do yourself up and head out for a good night with friends can instantly change a persons mood. Even making small plans like going to the beach, just to give yourself something to look forward to will make you feel so much better. 

10. Smile - As silly as it sounds, smiling can change your mood tremendously. It makes others want to be around you, gets rid of stress and makes you feel better about yourself. It gives you a look of confidence and it's contagious so it will spread. 

I hope this helps anyone who is feeling a bit down and let me know if you do anything differently to stay happy.

Positive Post #2

Why hello there,

During the weekend I wasn't in the best of moods and everything seemed to pile on top of me at the time. At the minute I'm over it and am feeling rather cheerful, so it seems like the perfect time to do another positive post.

This little 'lift me up' post is for anyone who is as you'd 'stuck in a rut' and has no idea what they want to do with their lives.

I am a big believer in 'whats for you won't pass you by' but at the same time it's understandable that you have to work for it. Your not going to find it sitting with your bum plonked on the couch! Not going to lie, sometimes I need a little reminding of this.

If you try something and you realise it isn't for you, that's ok. Some people make such a big deal out of stuff like this but at least you can say you tried it and it wasn't what you expected. You then try to figure out what it is you want and go for that. Don't listen to what others say about your choices. In the end it's up to you what you want to do, nobody else.  

We're all young and have our whole lives ahead of us so don't worry if you have no clue what your future holds. Something will pop up and you'll be so glad you didn't rush into anything when it does come along. 

All you have to do is sit down, have a good think about what it is you want and go for it. It may not be easy but once you get it all the hard work will pay off. So if you have a dream go for it and don't let anyone stop you.

If anybody is feeling like they have no clue what they want to do with their lives I hope this post helped.

Positive Post #1

Ok so I thought I'd do something a little different today and write a little positive/motivational post because well, it doesn't cost anything to put a smile on your/someone elses face.

I think everyone can admit they have had one of those days where they just want to hide under their bed covers and never come out. I myself have had those days but I always try to pick myself up and make the most of it. 

Everyday holds something great, you just have to open your eyes and think of all the positives. A lot of the time people just focus on the bad things when there is a much bigger picture to what is going on. 

I'm obviously no expert but I just feel that if you think positive good things will happen and this is why I always try my best to see things in a new light no matter how bad they seem. 

So if you take anything from this insanely cheesy/cringy post it's to just smile. Things may be bad but there is a light at the end of the tunnel.
