Today I thought why not throw in a short positivity post (don’t worry I’m definitely not about to get all preachy on you I promise)

I actually originally wrote a positive vibes post back in January of this year (2020), but have decided it was time for another, seeing how the world has drastically changed in just 6 months!

Now more than ever it’s important to remain positive, we have all found ourselves in a situation that we never thought we would be in and are all learning to deal with it and live with it.

It’s very easy to fall into bad habits when the world feels like for now it has momentarily stopped spinning.

I sat down recently and thought about things that I want to change moving forward. The pointless things that I seem to spend so long obsessing over. I’ve come up with a list of 5 (being realistic) I’m hoping this is a list that I can really stick too for the remainder of the year and beyond, however the future may look.

My list of 5

1. Let go of things I can’t control – I over think and over analyse pretty much everything, and usually end up stressing myself out in the process. It’s time to stop, and remember what will be will be, I can’t change it or control it. I also MUST remember that stressing makes you prematurely age, sure I read that somewhere!

2. Avoid comparing myself to others – Yep I do this A LOT! I think it comes down to the perception people have that you should be married by now with 5 kids hanging off of every limb. I do at time’s compare myself and my life to others. It’s hard and it’s something I do subconsciously but I need to stop and go with the flow! I love my life! Luke and I do so many things and have impromptu trips here and there, and getting Hunter has been the cherry on the cake!

3. Avoid gossip – This is a difficult one because let’s be honest WHO DOESN’T gossip from time to time! But it’s worth a try right!

4. Ignore others negative opinions – I love listening to other people’s opinions but negative ones are a no no! They aren’t needed and won’t be appreciated. Supporting each other’s decisions is something we should all try embracing a little more.

5. Avoid self doubt – I am as serious self doubter of my own abilities, and I need to have a more belief in myself and what I can do and achieve. Passing my eyelash course was a huge thing for me, as I found it so difficult and at times wanted to just give up! Passing was a big confidence boost! Now there is literally no stopping me!

Covid-19 has been a really awful time for us all, and for some it has been the worst time of their lives. But for all the bad it’s brought with it I am taking away positives from this whole experience, I’ve definitely learnt some things about myself.

Day 9 of 2020 and I haven’t disappointed myself so far! In fact I feel like I’m embracing the new me. I definitely am having a different outlook to the year, and I am really trying to stop negative thoughts and surround myself with negative people. The little things in life that once annoyed me (and I made seem bigger) now just go over my head. Let people be who they want to be, even if they are passionate or have views that I don’t share, that’s down to the individual.

I’m actually liking this new me, and please don’t get me wrong, it’s not like I’ve gone through life up and until now being a negative person because I haven’t. But in some situations that have occurred I have had more of a negative than positive outlook on them.

And whilst I may always just have a natural resting bitch face (can’t be helped) I am trying to be less Blair Waldorf and more Serena Van der Woodsen this year (xoxo gossip girl)

My new saying for the year is “it’s not ideal, but it’s fine”

I mean it’s only day 9, I know, but maybe, just maybe I can carry this on and be that better version of myself.

Happy Thursday everyone, I don’t know about anyone but I feel shattered! I’ve only been back to work a week but I need a holiday!!

Still the weekend is almost here, just one more day to go.

Morning everyone!!

Hope you all had a great weekend!!

How quick are these months going by?! The next post I publish it will be AUGUST!! Which incidentally is also my birthday MONTH! And apart from being another year older (which I do not like) I absolutely LOVE birthdays and presents!! Especially presents! I submitted my 4 page birthday list to my family earlier on this month, so I’m pretty excited to see what presents will be waiting for me on the 15th of August!!

I’m actually hoping my sister (hint hint if your reading this) will pick get me some bath and body works hand sanitizers!! I’m running low and I’m not going to Florida this year, and they are the best hand gels EVER!!!… okay I’ve hinted enough….

Anyway Birthday aside, I didn’t have the best week (last week), not that I can pin point why, it was just slow and dragged and was super hot! I was glad for the weekend, it literally couldn’t come quick enough!

I did have a lovely weekend although it flew by way too quickly!! But don’t they always?!? Luke and I had a very chilled out one, a bit of shopping at our local outlet village, Starbucks (of course) dinner, catch up and cinema with friends on the Saturday and Sunday was even more chilled out!!! And we got 2 great lay ins too!!

Once again mine and Luke’s weekends have gone crazy from now until our holiday in September! We have lots to look forward too starting with family time this weekend coming!! I can’t wait to see my cousin her husband and her 3 gorgeous kiddies including my beautiful goddaughter!!

I’m feeling more refreshed on this Monday morning and I’m ready to tackle the week! I’m looking forward to getting my nails done on Tuesday and welcoming August on Wednesday!!

I also can’t wait to publish the first post of a brand new month!

Until then, as always I thank you for taking time out to read lifestylelisa.com

Have a great Monday
