Hey guys,

My grandest of apologies for not having blogged this weekend. I have had a crazy busy weekend, finishing assignments and needing to do things for some of my classes. But I have been noting down the posts that I have been meaning to do so that I can keep up my promise for a blog post for everyday of the month of May.

Now I know that I said that I would post one everyday, but my work load at uni just got crazy. So I am changing that promise, there will at least be a post for everyday this month. That means there will be 31 blog post this month, That I can keep up.

So lets talk about something else. This weekend just gone was crazy. Filled with a pile of assignments and small things that I needed to do. So much stuff has been done that it seems that I have pulled a muscle in my foot, which hurts a ton. 

So lets get on with the blog posts that I have missed.

Project get outside.

Hey guys,

So this morning I decided I need to get outside more. On day when I done have any classes I have a tendency to not leave the house and sometimes even barely leave my room. So i decided that this has to change. 

I am making myself the promise of leaving my house everyday and doing something. Whether its going for a walk, or going to the shops. Just as long as I don't spend all my free days doing nothing at all in my room except watching TV on my computer.

What am I going to be doing in these outside adventures, well here is a small list

- Find a park to sit in

- Go for a walk

- Go into the city/ somewhere else be tram or bus

- Do fun activities.

Thats really all for today, I need to get back to writing an essay due Monday.

5am is not a good time.

Hey guys,

So my apologies for not blogging for the past two days, they have been busy and crazy and full of stuff that I really needed to do. But I have a couple of days off this week and I will be doubling up my posts. 

No I am not writing this at 5am, but I did wake up at 5am this morning and it was not fun. So lets talk about it.

There is something weird about being awake at that hour of the day. People are still asleep so the roads are nearly empty except for those few who start work early. The city is still asleep and still has all its lights on, so it shines, even when nobody is watching. It pretty and glamorous and almost like a hidden treasure, that not many people get to see.

Whilst 5am is too early for e to be awake I was, and driving at that time(dropping people at the airport) was fascinating and something almost magical.

5am still isn't a good time, but it is a pretty time, so I might hate it generally, but seeing its beauty almost makes me love it.

Notice the ground beneath your feet.

                                

Hey guys,

So last month I set myself the challenge to take a  photo of the ground beneath my feet every day of the month. 

Well here it finally is. It took me a few extra days, but it is here.

Here are 28(yes I know there are 30 days in April) photos for the month of April.

 

                                     

Why did I do this? So I would take notice of my surroundings and pay attention to the things around me.

Motivation, come get me.

Hey guys,

Today I am talking about something I lack a majority of the time. Something I don't ever think I have truly grasped in my hand. Something that I need to learn and shape so that I can be the fullest version of myself. I know that sounds like I am trying to talk myself into something, but honestly I am.

Motivation is something I have lacked for practically forever. I don't ever feel like I have the motivation to do things, even though I should. Its an important life skill that I haven't mastered and I don't know if I ever fully will, even though I wish I could.

Now I know in my saying that, that it is doing the opposite of what I want. That I should be cheering myself on to strive towards it, but in truth, it's not something I am good at, and never have been. 

But that doesn't mean that you shouldn't try for motivation, that teaching yourself how to get to a high level of motivation ins't impossible. So that is going to become a new goal for me this year. Try to be more motivated.

Learn not to put myself down and tell myself that I can't. Ignore all the voices of my past that once told me I couldn't follow my dreams. Teach myself to finish what I have started and not be afraid to try new things, that stretch my boundaries and put me out of my comfort zone.

I will start to tell myself that I can do things and that giving up isn't an option, even if I feel that it is the easiest way out. Because sometimes it's not the best solution to how things should end up.

One lesson that I want people to take away is that denying yourself you dream isn't ever going to help. Ignore the nay sayers and get your motivation up as high as possible.

This year I hope to change that within myself. And hopefully I will learn to accept that change and grow with it. Now all I need is that motivation to get that started, and that will start today.

This blogging every day thing will help me with that motivation.

Winter is coming... And I don't hate it.

Hey guys,

So for us in the southern hemisphere(or at least Australia), winter is coming. And I honestly don't mind that it is coming. A lot of people assume that we love summer and the beach, and don't get me wrong I do love those things too, but I love winter more.

There is just something about snuggling up by a heater, with a hot chocolate and a blanket and watching movies(or more recently re-watching the Gilmore Girls). I just really enjoy all of those things.

Why am I bringing this up? Well winter is showing it's face here and I am enjoying it so much. So I can't wait.
