Staying positive at home

Staying positive at home 

Hello guys,

Hope you are all well and keeping safe. 

I have really surprised myself of how much I've got used to staying at home. I thought I would be stressed and anxious about not being able to go out, but it has gone the opposite way. I'm happy, motivated and very relaxed. Being someone with a high level of anxiety, I thought I would've got bored and emotional very quickly but I have been keeping busy and chilled throughout my time at home. 

Being at home has made me more proactive on what I really want out of life. I think before I got so used to going out and at times I sort of took it for granted. Now being  at home has made me realise what the positive things are in life and it has made me feel grateful for them. Also I have realised how much there is to do at home that I didn't really give much thought on before, like i’m enjoying reading and playing online easy games that I haven't played for years. I miss the freedom of going to the gym and shopping but it has made feel humble for what I have that we skim past when life is busy like a home cooked meal or a good book we don't normally have time to digest. I’m probably not the only one that feels like this at this time. 

I miss going out and going to the gym, but I'm doing two lots of walking everyday and keeping myself strong so I don't loose my strength for when I can go back to the gym. This is making everyday quite busy making sure I do both. I feel much happier and relaxed after this as I feel like I achieved something and keeping myself occupied at the same time. 

I feel that this is the most positive I have felt in a while and I think its because I'm not thinking about going out or upcoming events like work placements. I really enjoy these things and I can't wait to go back to them after the lockdown restrictions are lifted but I wouldn't say I'm missing them terribly. I think lockdown has changed my prospective of how I don't need to be busy all of the time.

I hope you all have enjoyed my blog 

Stay safe

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 ...
