SELF LOVE HABITS TO CHANGE YOUR LIFE!

LOVE, what is it good for? Your physical and mental health of course! I think many of us to this day still lack that kindness and resentment for ourselves and no it does not make you vain as many people will say, its just an overcoming battle of not having been happy with yourself for so long and now that you finally have it you feel complete, worthy and loved, but all by yourself....

MINDSET HABITS TO CHANGE THIS YEAR

I am a huge lover of positive psychology, the law of attraction and all the other good zen in life. I believe that having a certain mindset on things can really help to shape or break you completely, so after watch Amy Lee on YouTube I felt inspired to write a few of the things she spoke about and maybe help other's out through this too....

MY SELF- CARE SUNDAY ROUTINE

Life can feel so overwhelming most days, and lately I have been trying to use these mechanisms to control my anxiety and maintain some balance.

So I haven't been uploading recently and been pretty awol on here, but I did explain I was busy with exams and final assignments over on my twitter. Even so, I thought I would share some other things that I've been feeling lately too...

BOOK REVIEW • THE SHOCK OF THE FALL

I have been going back and re- reading some of my old books lately that were on my bookshelf, especially one's which focus on mental health issues. This one is an amazing read, called 'The Shock Of The Fall' by Nathan Filer. It is based on a a first person experience, showing what it feels like to be suffering from Schizophrenia. This book was a 'Costa Book of the Year' from 2013.

MINDFULLNESS COLOURING BOOK | PHOTO DIARY

Mindfulness colouring used to be really popular last year and the year before, but I think they are still seen around now in quite a lot of stores as well. It is a great way to just relax, de-stress and just take your mind off things for a while. I personally love to listen to some music, switch my phone off and sit in many room alone, as I let my creative side go wild and colour in the different pages. I thought I would do a blogpost / photo diary kind of post, and show some of the pages I have coloured in. You can use as little or as much colour as you like and even leave some area's blank.

BOOK REVIEW • ALL THE BRIGHT PLACES

I am going to be doing a visual book review, which includes samples of what to expect inside the book (no spoiler alert) and what my thoughts were on the book itself!

MANAGING MY STRESS LEVELS USING 'THRIVE'

Thrive is an application developed to help make you feel stress free, through the use of clinically proven techniques! It is able to detect many common mental health problems and has definitely helped to manage my stress levels and help calm me down...
