Hi Lovelies, so 2021 is well and truly here! As you know, over the first lockdown I had a life revelation and since then I’ve been trying to put my 2021 plan of action into practice. If you’ve followed me for a while you will know that my New Year doesn’t usually start until February. But like the rest of you I was keen to see the back of 2020 so I’ve already been thinking about the future, and how to put a plan of action in place for my dreams for the future.
Life Update || MagpieMagpie COVID LIFE
10/01/2021Hi Lovelies, long time no speak. Since I hadn’t posted a life update in a while I thought it would be a good place to start in the new year. As most of you know I live here in Jersey Channel Islands. It’s a small island between England and France, it’s got a lower tax rate so Finance is the main Job sector here. COVID of course had an impact here, however we were very much kept in our little Jersey bubble.
You’ll know from my Structure || MagpieMagpie in Isolation Post that we went into Lockdown for about two months here. In that time Jarek’s company went into liquidation and the uncertainty of my own job was lingering. Over that time I kept super busy and created a structure plan in my new normal. Like many of you, I also did a number of self destructive things like stalk people I used to know and compare my life. I read books on lifestyle, only to realise that the life we had created was far from the life we truly wanted.
Hi lovelies. Today’s post is another Anxiety Tips That Work For Me Post, is in collaboration with the clothing company Wear Your Belief. I’m so excited to be bringing you guys this post. as you all know, Anxiety is some I deal with day to day.
As you guys know I’m a huge believer in sharing my anxiety and the tips that work for me. Like people, anxiety comes is all shapes and forms. What works for me might not work for you, but everything is worth trying right. Don’t feel disheartened if my tips don’t work for you, just remember that my anxiety is probably very different to yours. There is no one size fits all. Try everything and anything and eventually you’ll find what works for you.
Get Out and About
Exercise is obviously one of the most beneficial for the body and mind, but I feel that the view of exercise has become distorted. If you are not doing loads of classes and spend hours a day in the gym you will achieve nothing. Personally, I disagree, walking; just getting out in the air is what works best for me. No pressure to do much just get out and walk.
It can be in your local area, you can get a bus and go somewhere with a view. You can walk to a destination or go free style. You could join a walking group or go it alone. As long and you get out and about you’ll feel the benefits.
Here are my five top tips that I find help with my travel anxiety. When I stick to them I have a nice easy trip with minimal stress. If I don’t I can assure you something always goes wrong and I kick myself! So new life rule, follow my own tried and tested advice.
- Where possible I always check-in the night before, or 24hours if I can.
If you haven’t tried them already, I’d highly recommend the airline apps. You can pretty much do whatever you need to on there, check-in, book flights, add a bag. I always download the app of whoever I’m going to be flying with, log in, check in, and screen shot the boarding pass (just incase) and that’s it, one less stress!!
