Steping stones...

07 October 2010

These are my stepping stones to confidence. Wanna know the good thing about them? You don't have to conquer them all at once!

  • Ditch the negativity! Trust me I know this one is the hardest of the lot, that's why it's the first one on the list. By no means am I perfect at this one, I am constantly finding my mind wondering to unpleasant negative thoughts about my body, my life anything and everything. What I do to stop these negative thoughts is to tell myself to stop, find something to be thankful about and something that I like about me. Slowly over time it becomes easier to find the good things and block out the negative thoughts.

  • Surround yourself with wonderful and supportive people! Don't put up with people who make you feel bad about yourself. Find someone new that will treat you great. Supportive friends are the best kind.
  • Wear clothes that you're comfortable in and make you feel good! Don't go following the latest trends if they don't suit you and end up making you feel rotten about your body. Make your own rules, the world loves unique people!
  • Focus on something that means a lot to you! Whether you are a passionate writer, musician, sportsperson, whatever focus on that and gain confidence in that. You may be surprised what a difference it makes.
  • Take a risk! Talk to someone new, jump out a plane (obviously the safe way!) ask that cute boy out and challenge yourself. Keep yourself and others on their toes, everyone hates being in a rut! 
  • Accept that you are you and you have what you have! You can't change that your left leg is longer than your right or you laugh too loudly or you make silly jokes so instead of hating all your little quirks (They are not faults!) learn to accept that they are special to you and learn to love them.
  • Look after your mental health! Do something that will bring down your stress levels like a having really hot bubble bath, reading a book, meditating, sleeping, exercising or anything that works for you. Talk to someone if your feeling blue or listen to some comforting music, maybe watch a favorite movie. Remember it's important to take care of yourself!


  • Remember that unique is a compliment! Because after all we all know how boring the world would be if we were all the same! Have fun with life, you only have one go at it! (that you'll remember at least...)



Spring clean

29 September 2010

              Because I am moving house a the moment I have been going through a big good old fashion Spring clean and it's actually in spring! So I am sorting out all my stuff and throwing away all the nonsense I have collected over the years. It's like a breath of fresh air into my bedroom and my stress levels, because although I try not to admit it too often I kind of enjoy organizing things. So this got me thinking how nice a spring clean would be in my life.
So the things I wanted to clean up are:
  • My body- As I'm sure you all know it can be very easy to neglect your body, especially during winter. So spring cleaning my body involves getting back a regular shaving routine (who doesn't let there legs go a little wild and fussy in winter?), washing and moisturising my face daily because I want to keep my skin lovely when I'm old and taking care of my poor dishwasher hands and nails.
  • My school work- As boring as it is I need to pick up my game because being lazy and getting C's all around the board wont get me anywhere in life.
  • My mind- The plan for this one is instead of keeping everything up in the maze in my head I'm going to write it down. If I'm feeling happy and content or a bit blue or anything else, if something happens or if something makes me mad I'm going to write it down on whatever is closest, be it my laptop, phone or a piece of paper. 
  • My exercise habits- So I'll be first to admit that my exercise habits are very poor (or more non-existent) and I need to do something about that. So during these holidays (2 weeks) I want to go for a walk/jog each day and when school gets back I am going to be walking home everyday which takes me 20 minutes. 
So what sort of things would you spring clean in your life? Do you have a crappy love life? Messy relationships with family or friends? Bad habits you want to kick out? Want to resolve to have more confidence? Well change them then! You are the only person who can. Take charge and take control, live your life.

The simplest of intentions...

27 September 2010

I think there's a universal feeling among bloggers. That once a blogger has revealed that feeling, thats when they truly are a blogger. I think that is a feeling of importance within writing our words for the world to see. That getting our words out there in the universe is a way of making ourselves matter, making ourselves mean something. We want to feel like the things we do, the things we write make a difference. Maybe not even in the world as a whole but just simply in someone's or our own world. Simply a life inspired. Everybody wants to be remembered. Some people find it easily; naturally, for others though there can be a struggle. And like any other this struggle is hard, exhausting and oh-so time consuming. Struggles to have the best, to be on top happen everyday to anyone, to everyone. Everybody's struggling to find their own way to be remembered. Everyone wants a place that's their own. Everyone wants to feel untouchable. Thats why; I think, I want this blog to happen. I want it to be everything I'm imagining for you mostly but also a little for me. This is my place, my importance and my way of being remembered.


Hi guys, thanks for coming by! I am really, really excited about this blog and I hope you will all adore it. Keep checking back throughout the week because I have a lot of posts planned but I want to keep it to just this first post for a few days so everyone gets a chance to read it. So over to the right you will find my little 'Girls Corner' I set up. I will keep it updated with lots of fun little bits and pieces for you all.


I would love it if you followed this blog, left me comments, did the polls on the side and gave me feedback.
Maly Xx.
