It's February it's darn cold but I'm in a good place. I've caught up on my letter writing, reading a real paper back whilst the children are actually awake and I've caught up on my reviews for the blog which is great. These sound like little things and perhaps they are but those are the things that can really make a difference. They certainly are making me feel good!
Other steps I've taken to feel better are:
Purchasing a Pilate's DVD and visiting the doctor about my back. I'm keen to start some physiotherapy in a few weeks and Pilate's will help me strengthen my core muscles and back. I'm also seeing an ENT specialist in 2 weeks and getting my wisdom tooth looked at. Looking after my body is a priority for me this year!
I've volunteered to listen to Year One read in the afternoons. I haven't actually done it yet but I've offered and hopefully next week there will be a time I can help out with. This is a big step anxiety wise and it'll help me with my college course decision (which no, I still haven't had the guts to submit!)
I've been drafting my 31 Days of Kindness project and I'm hoping it'll go live soon and people will want to join in. It's always a risk setting something up on your blog and hoping people join in. If nobody does it, it doesn't matter, I'll still do it myself. I'm passionate about spreading kindness.
I've plucked up the courage to ask a fellow local mum if she'd like to meet up next week and a date has been set! I may also meet another lovely mum too. Please don't ruin this for me anxiety!
So I feel that I'm making good progress so far this year. How are you getting on Groovy Mums?

Oh Hannah good for you - this is so lovely to read. Really hope that anxiety stays in abeyance. You really are very inspirational. Much love & looking forward to reading your 31 Days of Kindness project xxx
ReplyDeleteThank you Elizabeth! I really hope it doesn't make me feel useless. Thanks I'll let you know when it's up :) xx
DeleteThat is excellent progress. I'm looking forward to going in to school to read when my twins start next year. I've never been able to do it before because I've always have small people at home! I hope you enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteHi Phillippa! Thanks I help on school trips and used to sort reading folders in reception until the clique took over! I'm looking forward to it :) x
DeleteHave you read a book called "Feel the Fear, and do it anyway" by Susan Jeffers? I have a copy and will send it to you if you PM me your address, its a good read, and now that you are taking positive steps forward I'm sure it will help. Joy x x
ReplyDeleteThanks joy sounds brilliant I'll get in touch x
DeleteWell done Hannah, sounds like your doing really well. I'm interested to hear more about your kindness project too #groovymums
ReplyDeleteThanks Denise! I feel pretty good! I'll post it soon keep your eyes peeled!
DeleteThis is so delightful to read. Anxiety can be so crippling and you must have had to take great strides to step out of that comfort zone. I am so thrilled you are making such huge progress. Make sure you get me to help you promote your new blog project - it sounds so very lovely. Body - mine is such a wreck on so many levels - may have to join you in looking after it a bit more this year. This post has made me feel so happy!
ReplyDeleteThank you for your wonderful support Kate and your kindness xx
DeleteWell done for kicking anxieties butt-I wish I could do the same! Have you been doing anything to help you with it all out of interest? Hope you get your back sorted soon xx
ReplyDeleteWell done you! Just remember: When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change
