What’s for you, won’t go by you.



Meaning that usually, if it’s meant to be it will eventually work out in the end. It’s served me well - a reminder that pushing and forcing things to work isn’t always the right way and sometimes you just have to let things happen and fall naturally into place.

Lies are always in debt to the truth and the truth always finds a way of redressing the balance.

have you heard of pmdd @ebayseller ? I had a hysterectomy this year as my temper/ mood swings after my last child were horrific. Diagnosed with pmdd a year after she was born. If you find it hard to deal with there are some fantastic support groups.

wishing you all the best xx
Yes, thank you I recently found out about it on here and now everything makes complete sense! It's definitely better knowing 'why' as I can brace myself for it. I hope you're ok after your hysterectomy that's a big op! ❤

Don't worry about people looking at you and judging, they are too busy watching themselves

"No." Is a complete sentence. You don't actually have to justify your decisions to anyone.
This is so true. I'm a personal assistant to a professor and when I first started he would ask "have you started/finished this/that". I would respond no BUT... and he would say yes or no is enough.

I like this. It’s something I could definitely improve on. If I even feel the slightest unsure about a situation the waffle just comes out - usually met with blank expressions too! Haha.
I think (in general) over apologising is something women do far more too.
Ha me too! I say no and then immediately feel guilty so waffle on whilst digging a massive hole even though the other person may not have even expected an explanation 😂

Live in Joy.

Success is not the amount of medals or statues dedicated to you, but the amount of Joy you feel in any given moment :) That's real success.

You cannot change someone’s actions but you can change how you react to it.

Always look at the bigger picture

1. Copy your kitty: Learn to do stretching exercises when you wake up. It boosts circulation and digestion, and eases back pain.

2. Don’t skip breakfast. Studies show that eating a proper breakfast is one of the most positive things you can do if you are trying to lose weight. Breakfast skippers tend to gain weight. A balanced breakfast includes fresh fruit or fruit juice, a high-fibre breakfast cereal, low-fat milk or yoghurt, wholewheat toast, and a boiled egg.

3. Brush up on hygiene. Many people don't know how to brush their teeth properly. Improper brushing can cause as much damage to the teeth and gums as not brushing at all.

4. Neurobics for your mind. Get your brain fizzing with energy. American researchers coined the term ‘neurobics’ for tasks which activate the brain's own biochemical pathways and to bring new pathways online that can help to strengthen or preserve brain circuits.

Brush your teeth with your ‘other’ hand, take a new route to work or choose your clothes based on sense of touch rather than sight. People with mental agility tend to have lower rates of Alzheimer's disease and age-related mental decline.

5. Get what you give! Always giving and never taking? This is the short road to compassion fatigue. Give to yourself and receive from others,
otherwise you’ll get to a point where you have nothing left to give. And hey, if you can’t receive from others, how can you expect them to receive from you.

I came across this a while back, what would you add to it?
Or what advice would you give yourself when it comes to health, parenting, lifestyle, skin.....
or just adulting in general?
🤷‍♀️

I’m gonna start it off.

Respond, don’t React.
Think before you respond to something or someone, let go of anger, calm the fuck down.
wait until you’re 10000000% sure what you’re saying isn’t out of anger or pain,
and the reply with a clear head.
I never do it but it’s good advice 🤷‍♀️
Wow. Loved all of that advice actually!!! I've never really been given advice 🤔

i prefer the ‘good luck bad luck who knows’ saying to ‘everything happens for a reason’. its kinda explained here.

also, you are not a slave to the past. the present moment is more like a ship sailing and the past being it’s wake, than the wake driving the ship. the past ceased to exist as soon as it happened, you are the captain of this ship. so experience it and navigate from the reality of now.

also listen to alan watts haha

You don't have to attend every fight you're invited to.

Don't make time for people who don't make time for you.

"Too busy is a myth" people make time for what is important to them.

I have just read up on pmdd from seeing this post and honestly feel like that could be me. My moods are horrendous in the weeks leading up to my time of the month. They were nowhere near this bad before my second child.
