Taking Control When Life Starts Feeling Unbalanced

Mercury retrograde is in full swing and my goodness I am FEELING the pressure. Lately life has started pulling me in a million different directions and it’s starting to feel like I’m walking wobbly along a tight rope.

I’m doing the whole “eat lots of greens and move your body once a day”, trying my best to spend as much time as possible with my darling 4 grandparents, be the most thoughtful and caring friend, a one woman show boss lady that’s consistent with helpful and interesting content for you guys, a supportive, attentive and loving girlfriend, maintain a social life, read as much as I can, do all the ‘me-time’ things I need to do to look after my mental health, keep the house clean, cook great healthy meals, stay on top of my finances, save for a house, spend time with my mum, walk my dog every day, avoid takeaways, shave my legs, look after my skin, the list goes on.

The funny part is that all of the above isn’t even really considered “full on”. I’m blessed with my health, the people I love, I live an incredibly privileged and wonderful lifestyle, yet I would be lying if I didn’t say that I go through phases where everything just feels like a lot. Is it possibly my age? I’m 24 and those of you older than me can probably relate, but you’d also know that like I mentioned, all of this is just normal life.

AND..

I’m not even a mum yet. God help me.

If you’re feeling a little bit off, a little unbalanced, a little guilty because you know that some areas of your life are getting neglected, I’ve done all of the self reflection time and come up with the answers myself so you don’t have to. Here are the things I’m working with right now to try and gain a little more of a balanced lifestyle.

Go to bed early

It’s only recently that I’ve discovered the true benefits of getting to sleep early. Once you’ve experienced enough 5 hour sleeps to compare with an 8 hour, you realise how much a full nights sleep impacts your entire ability to function throughout the day. If you struggle to keep your evening routine compacted, here’s what I’ve been doing. We try to have an early dinner around 6.40 ish, then we’ll sit down for our evening Netflix show, watch a couple of episodes until 9 PM. That’s when we get into bed, have a chat, I’ll do a bit of reading and we’ll have lights off around 9.40, ideally to be asleep by 10. When we achieve that type of structure I normally bounce out of bed at 6 AM feeling fresh, ready to go and positive about the day ahead.

11 PM bed time? No chance of me feeling positive in the morning. Set yourself up for success!

Sometimes over-smoking also affects sleep, then it is mandatory to quit smoking. Find smoking-alternative like, vape juice with nicotine (with small amount). It will help to get rid of smoking and further will help have good sleep at night.

The Powerful Impact of Crafting on Child’s Emotional Development

Emotional Benefits of Crafting Children’s minds and bodies develop swiftly as they grow and explore their surroundings. Arts & crafts are wonderful instruments that can help with this development. Kids craft kits allow them to get a hands-on experience where they can tangibly express themselves and immerse themselves in a haven of vibrant colours, varied textures, and boundless creativity! Boosting Self-esteem and Confidence Crafting involves the use of one’s hands to produce something by combining many different materials. They get to participate in what is, for them, a fun process that results in beautiful end products that are unique and personal. For instance, they can make perfume using a perfume making kit and store it into a bottle which may allow them to use it for a long time. When these children finish the tasks or when they get to build something with their own hands, this creates a lot of confidence within them. Improving Social Skill Craft...

ResMed AirMini Travel CPAP Machine Preview

Please Note – The ResMed AirMini machine has since been released with some reviews already. Click here to view them. ResMed AirMini Travel CPAP Machine Preview ResMed; arguably the market leader in CPAP machines, has announced their entry into the travel CPAP machine market with the AirMINI. There are a number of rumours circulating about the design of the machine. Now, it must be said that I cannot speak to the authenticity of the picture shown. But it looks strikingly similar to the descriptions of the machine from those who attended the launch. A few CPAP suppliers from the Sydney area were present, and some leaks (not mask leaks, excuse the pun) about the size, shape and features of the machine have slipped out of some not-so-tightly sealed lips. It is a little secret that ResMed have been looking at entering into the lucrative travel-CPAP market for some time. In fact, when I visited ResMed HQ five years ago, part of their development team was busy pulling ...
