Hi all, 

Hope you are all well.

Just wanted to do a catch up blog really on things, 

I am trying to keep myself busy by going to the gym, posting positive things on social media, just living life to the full and keeping myself occupied. 

I am really focused on the gym at the moment, I'm working with a new personal trainer. I'm working on mainly crawling and walking, things that I need to work on to build my strength and balance up. I really enjoy doing exercises to make me stronger, get me more mobile and independent and waking up the muscles that don't really get used while sitting in my wheelchair.  I am not actually going into the gym but using the studio and doing things that will benefit me. I am working on moving freely allowing my body to feel the movement and teaching my brain to move the body parts I don't really use whilst sitting in my wheelchair.  This is making me feel more motivated and happy as I am seeing lots of benefits to myself already. It feels really good to see myself crawling and walking etc and keep seeing lots of improvements and benefits in  myself already.

I have been trying to build up my social media by posting more about gym and life making sure I link it back to disability. I do find it hard to know what is best to post but I do lots of research to make sure it is going to be a strong post that will reach the right audience, I am working on Instagram mostly and working my way up to the rest of the other popular media channels like Twitter and Facebook. It’s going to take me a long while but I'm going to keep at it. 

Just living life to the full just simply means keeping myself busy, occupied and happy. Doing this isn't about doing 50 things in a minute, that’s just mad. I try to plan my day so I can enjoy my day, do some productive things that I know will keep me going.

Really short and sweet blog but it was just a catch up on what I have been up to. 

Thank you for reading.

Slowly approaching the next stage of life

Hey guys Thought this blog may help others that are starting to think about coming to the end of school, sixth form, college, uni etc and have worries or fears about starting a chapter in life. I am in my last year at sixth form and starting to think about what is best for me in terms of needs, skills, learning to work with a wider range of people etc. I don't know about others but I worry about going somewhere new, meeting new people and adapting to their way of working. It scares the hell out of me but how I look at it is I am there to widen my own knowledge and skills to better myself for the future. Has anyone got to the school gates or waiting for a interview for college or uni etc and thought I don't want to be here, lets face it we all have been in similar situations. I remember sitting in a meeting to start sixth form and felt physically sick and was thinking will I be ok to do the course? will I get along with the people... 2 years on sixth form feels like my secon...

Get Over Yourself...We're Only Disabled! Part 25

Get Over Yourself ... We're Only Disabled ! Hey my lovely readers. I hope you are well.  Acknowledgements   Well, what can I say? I can't believe I have written my first book!  It took me a whole year to write this, with support from staff at National Star College and my family.  I thought writing a book would be really difficult and I would have just given up over time but despite amending how many chapters I wanted in this book, I achieved what I wanted to get out of writing a book. I must admit that I haven't worked on “Get Over Yourself, We’re Only Disabled” religiously.  However, it has been refreshing to have a goal to work towards.  Something that can be my thing, my aim, and my success.  I feel that I have achieved that. I want to say a massive thank you to my family for helping me over the years to get to this point where I’ve been able to write this book and have the knowledge and understanding of my life and mine...

Up Movement, The Adult Cerebral Palsy Movement Hi my lovely readers, hope you are well. I know after I finished posting my book, I wasn't sure on what to post on my blog. So I decided to have a little break to think about what I could post about but I really wanted to come back with a special idea for my blogs, I wanted to talk about what is interesting me lately. I attend a Zoom meeting each week with a lovely organisation called UP movement, a group set up by an amazing lady called Emma and then another brilliant lady called Mirriam. Emma has Cerebral Palsy herself, so that in its self is really lovely as it gives others a sense of achievement and encouragement, just to learn about her journey with Cerebral Palsy. Emma is incredible, she has Cerebral Palsy, however she is a wife and a mother, she is the founder of Up Movement and a strong advocate and a voice for people with Cerebral Palsy.    The people who attend are adults with Cerebral Palsy, so this ...
