Just wanted to blog

Hey guys, 

Feels like ages since I last blogged, its been a few very busy weeks. 

To start this blog off, I wanted to say i've been a lot more positive about things and wanting to do more to help myself and to stop feeling down about things, i'm not saying I don't have a down day or I don't get bored of things, in which I still do but I feel calmer about things and doing more without feeling down or fed up, its about doing things without negative thoughts behind them and then it was more enjoyable.

In April I faced one of my biggest fears that was making me feel down, I spent 3 days at a disabled college called National Star and it literally made me think about how I enjoy being independent and the life skills I never had before. This was a very daunting moment in my life but it made me realise that I am capable of more than I was doing. It also made me realise how much I do and how far I have came.

Back at sixth form, I have  become a lot more positive about being there and changed my attitude towards my work. I took the attitude that I have only got a few more months there so I need to make the most of what I have left there. It has been a lot more easier and I have been more happier about being there.

I have learnt that if you're not happy about something, all that you need to do is change the way you look at something. It has proven that you get a lot more done and achieved when you're happier.

I hope you have enjoyed my blog,

Abbie xx

Get Over Yourself ... We're Only Disabled! Part 1

  Get Over Yourself ... We're Only Disabled  Hey my lovely readers... Hope you are well. As some of you may know, I wrote a book a few years ago however, I couldn't get my head around getting it published so I thought long and hard about how to share it with you all. Therefore, I thought about sharing one chapter a week on my blog, so this week I will publish the "All About Me" and the first chapter.   This was written in 2018, so some of details may not correspond to what you know of me today. All about me: Abbie Smart Hi, my name is Abbie Smart.  I was diagnosed with quadriplegic Cerebral Palsy at the age of one, after I had a fit when I was born.  It was recognised because I wasn’t reaching my milestones, such as crawling, walking at all or talking as well as I should have been.  I am a wheelchair user and I use a walker.  I drive my own wheelchair and have done since I was 6 or 7 years old.  I attended mainstream primary and secondary school and have achieved 5 G

  A Year Of Adaptive CrossFit  Hi my lovely readers, I hope you are well.  I know I have done a blog like this before, but I realised that I have been attending my adaptive CrossFit class for a year now, so I thought about doing a blog post about how I am finding it.    I can't  believe it has been a year already, it has a gone so quickly, I have the best time in the sessions and achieved so much in a short space of time, it has been incredible.     Over the past year, I have loved going to the adapted classes, I have enjoyed meeting new people with a wide range of disabilities that have become very good friends. Also I have been able to become stronger in my workouts and been able to achieve things that I felt that it wouldn't have been possible, for example, trying out my friends Rollator. This was one my many highlights of the year ! All of the sessions has made me feel stronger and more mobile. It has helped me to branch out socially with people with a wide range of disabil

Growing Up With Cerebral Palsy

  Growing Up With Cerebral Palsy  Hey my lovely readers, I hope you are well. I thought this would be slightly different to my normal style of writing, I asked on a Cerebral Palsy page on social media,  about any particular issues or interests that people had and I would turn some of the ideas into a blog. I got some great responses and 'Growing up with Cerebral Palsy' was the most popular idea and I was so invested in this topic as I have so many great memories and examples when I saw this suggestion.  Growing up with Cerebral Palsy was no different from any other childhood, but I did find it difficult to understand why I couldn't do things that other children was doing, but my parents and my primary school made sure I felt apart of what everyone else was doing, even if it was adapted slightly. I think making adaptions to the activity. helped me to be able to join in and do things at the best of my ability. For example if my class was doing basketball in PE, I had a smalle
