How to discover your career path

Anyone else feel like they’re trying to spin 100

Anyone else feel like they’re trying to spin 100 plates at once with no idea how or why? ✨

Trying to get our finances, career, self-care, fitness, social life and a whole lot more all set out and perfect at the same time. Perhaps it’s a far fetched dream but maybe it doesn’t matter anyway

Maybe we should decide what areas we want to focus on and get better at; and not worry about what other things we could be doing well at when it doesn’t matter to us. Why worry about bettering something when you’re doing just fine with it?

Prioritise your metaphorical plates and don’t stress yourself out over things that don’t matter to you at that time 💫

If you had to choose one area of life to focus on for the next 6 months, maybe your career, money, happiness etc, what would it be? 🌟

Why it’s okay to not have things figured out 👇🏻

After my blip last week where I had a Phoebe from friends moment of “I don’t even have a pla-”, I wanted to share why I don’t think it’s the end of the world if you don’t have any clue what you’re doing, or to have your original plans change (not naming and shaming, but thanks coronavirus!😌)

So why is a 5 or 10 year plan not that important?

❤️ You can be spontaneous and jump on opportunities that you might not have otherwise considered

🧡 You won’t get stressed out if you don’t meet your own timelines and deadlines

💜 Taking things day by day is a good way to stay in tune with yourself and really treasure the small things, and not always be chasing after the big goals

🤍 You’re still growing and changing as a person, and with that comes goal shifts too, so your plans would likely change anyway alongside your aspirations

💛 Most of our parents probably didn’t have one or it’s changed along the way, and they’ve got through things okay

Do you think having a plan is important? Do you personally have one or are you just enjoying things as they happen and going with the flow? 💫

Hello lovely people ✨ I can’t believe there’

Hello lovely people ✨ I can’t believe there’s now over 3,000 people following this account! Thank you so so much 🥺 whether you’re here for my (average) advice and tips, from one confused young adult to another, or if you find comfort in reading about my struggles and worries as a twenty-something year old - welcome to the club 💫

I’m going to be doing a bit of a get to know me post (or maybe a reel) in the next few days, so for now I wanna get to know you, tell me one thing you LOVE about adult life👇🏻

Going for positive vibes on this sunny Monday 🌞 p.s. mine is being able to eat alllll the chocolate and not have anyone tell me off (sorry mum)

Today I am feeling... tired and confused 😴

I’ve seen a few people sharing how up and down they’ve felt lately and I’m feeling exactly the same. I can’t quite understand what my brain and body want from me and that leads me to just doing nothing. I’ve been back at work yesterday and today after 11 days off and I didn’t realise it’d be so hard to get back into the swing of things 😌

One day I’m feeling uplifted and like all of my plans will soon fall into place and the next I just don’t want to get out of bed and I’m fine staying where I am in life forever. I think I’d probably narrow these feelings down to having these big expectations for myself and then bringing it all back to reality and being more realistic

One key thing I’ve learnt after finishing university is that the pressure your family and friends might put on you to find the perfect job or be living your best life, is nowhere near as draining as the pressure you can put on yourself. My silly old brain is always telling myself off for not doing more, or being more, but I’d never treat a friend or sibling like that so why am I doing it to myself?

Little reminder for you all that life is up and down, and your mood and motivations will fluctuate. But most of all, take the pressure off yourself, what will be will be and we all need to be a bit kinder to ourselves along the way ✨

How have you felt today? Have you been up to anything exciting?

Happy Sunday ✨ Today rounds up my time off wor

Happy Sunday ✨

Today rounds up my time off work - 11 days off was pretty refreshing and it was so so nice to get away for a few days to Brighton too. I’ve not taken that much time off work since I started last year and it reminded me how important taking a break is 😌

It’s helped me to shift my priorities too and I’m excited to start a new morning routine to hopefully encourage more reading, exercise and blogging before I start work (yes hello 6am alarm 😫). I’ve let myself slip away from looking after myself but I’m determined to invite self care back into my life now

What have you been up to this weekend? I hope it’s been a lovely one ✨

September usually marks the start of something new

September usually marks the start of something new. Be that a school year, moving on to sixth form or starting university. Last year it was the start of my next adventure as a working adult, but what does this year mark?

Today is simply the start of a new month, and I feel quite odd about it. September has always brought me feelings of change, starting over and a chance to shine in my new role or challenge. This year it’s merely the month after August

I’m trying to spark these feelings again by setting myself some new fitness goals; career goals; and a commitment to myself. And I’m also very excited that it’s almost autumn, I love it when the leaves change and I can wear cosy jumpers once again 🍂

What does September hold for you this year? Do you have any new goals you want to achieve? ✨

Set yourself some goals and be kind to yourself ✨

Don’t keep everything in your head - write down your goals and plans. Jot your short term, long term and day to day goals down in a journal and remember why you’re doing it and what you want to achieve

Alongside this, write down 3 things every day that you’re grateful for or pride yourself on. It’ll help you to feel more positive about things and, most of all, it’s nice to be nice to yourself 💛

It’s too easy to be mean about how you’re doing or not stop to celebrate the little things but we should all do it a lot more. Practice doing this and remember how amazing you truly are

So, interview question time. What’s your key strength? What do you know you’re good at and need to celebrate more? 👇🏻
