Authentic Ramblings


 This isn't going to be pretty, but it is going to be authentic.  


Firstly, if you have followed me for any length of time, you likely noticed I took away the pretty theme and made my blog  look pretty amateur, that's because I'm not in love with my blog right now. I needed to strip this blog right back and make it about the writing because that is what is most authentic to me at this point in my life. 

See the online world has changed pretty dramatically over the last few years, there is a push to be more professional online  even if all you run is a little hobby blog.

I know we were a business' but that's not the case anymore. I intentionally wanted to make the distinction. I now blog out of the goodness of my heart and because its fun, that's it. 

I also want my content to be underrated right now because what I have to say in the coming posts definitely isn't for everyone, but if some amazing person finds a nugget in my writing  then that's all I want. 

I am putting up what I like to call the amateur wall. It will keep the perfectionists out. 


Looking as simple as I can and like I barely know what I'm doing is exactly what I'm aiming for. 

This is my drunken marshal arts of writing test. 

If the reader can get past the lack of all the professional things a blog normally has, then that reader has what it takes to dig deeper and go swimming for tressure. 

They may just find some, I still aim to provide value. 

I'm just about to write about some very unpopular things in the age of wokeisim. 

This was the introduction, if you made it this far, then challenge for you...tell me rarity rocks where ever you can find me online. 




Move From Moving On To Moving Forward

Moving on and moving forward,

 they are the same thing, right?




Well actually no.

Once you have chosen to see life as seasonal and started chasing fulfilment rather than happiness, the next step toward success is moving on from moving on.


Let me explain.

Moving on gives the impression you’ve buried the past and now you're going to build something new on its grave and pretend it never happened. Moving forward is acknowledging the past, for what it is , learning what you can, and then deciding that it doesn’t define you and your still going to move forward with your dreams and in life because nothing can hold you back. You won’t give anything permission to do so. Good on you!

You can move on from things and still not be over it, but hiding from your feelings is not going to help you. If you bury half-open wounds then poison will fester beneath your scars. You gotta make sure that you’re not running from your yourself. Trust me it’s exhausting and only leads to making laps around the same old mountains over and over again and those scars won’t fully heal. If you build on the grave of a wound such as this,then zombies from the past may grab your heels and pull you down. 

I know it can be hard to face certain things that lurk back there, but you don’t have to do it alone and in the long run, dealing with and owning your stuff will be good for you. Even if you decide that what lurks back there is gone now or too painful and you're not going to give it much thought beyond forgiving all that need it, including yourself, giving it to a higher power and being more aware of the good things in your life and letting time do its work. It’s still important to make the decision and at least let yourself know what you have decided. If you feel the need to reach out to someone, then do it. There is no shame in asking for help, it’s actually really brave and a very loving thing to do for yourself.

Once you have done this, you will be ready to move forward in life and that is awesome on so many levels!

So then let’s get you on to another level with a plan!

Today you get a little bit of homework

Firstly, have a look in your heart and see that you have not buried your past alive, no one wants to get chased by zombies! 

Secondly, write down your dreams, even if they seem completely unrealistically possible. 

Write them down anyway or better yet, why not make a vision board? If you can visually see the goals you're shooting for, then it gives you motivation to actually do the work to get there.Pinterest is perfect for this.

If you're into the idea of self help, then here's a couple of really cool bits and pieces that may also help you move forward, not just move on from where you are right now. I can not recommend the first highly enough! Game changer!

The other two are just useful and nice to have, and it doesn't help that they are super cute! With the third one, those stickers are so adorable, I have so many and use mine all the time, but the idea is that happy planner stickers is what I recommending, they help me stay motivated and I am sure they can help you get stuff done too! Quick reminder the below are affiliate links, I may make a small commission with no extra cost to you if you decide to buy any of the things I recommend. 

The Five Minute Journal: A Happier You in 5 Minutes a Day
(Again,can not recommend highly enough)

Motivational Gallon Water Bottle  - especially good for helping you to keep on track with your fitness goals.

Paper House Planner, Journal, Dairy, Notebook Assorted Colours - highly recommend journal stickers in general, doesn't have to be these ones but these are adorable and so sweet!


That's about it today.
