I have spent the last few days watching ‘Sugar Rush’ on Netflix when I’m not working. It doesn’t benefit my mental health to be glued to the news 24/7, so I’m not. What does benefit my mental health is cake (in moderate amounts), so that’s what I’ll be making tonight. Make sure you’re looking after your mind. This has been a Public Service Announcement #positivity #emotionalwellbeing https://ift.tt/2JhqIkJ

Happy Mother’s Day to my mumsie. She’s celebrating her first Mother’s Day as a granny this year so she’s extra gassed. She’s my stay at home buddy so we get to hang out today, and do our usual Mother’s Day tradition of eating good food 😄. #happymothersday https://ift.tt/2QCt5mc

Let me reminisce... I’m a pretty strong introvert, but I love my dance. The kizomba scene opened up a whole world for me, and has allowed me to share the most beautiful moments with people from all around the world. So here’s a picture from the first kizomba/semba performance I did. Until we dance again... Photo by Karen Chau. #kizomba #semba #dance https://ift.tt/3bek8Yb

So I’ll be honest, this month I scraped my activity 3 times a week, but we move. Also, as chuffed as I was about pushing myself through illness last month, clearly it was no good, because I ground to a near stop over half term, so I’ve learnt I need to listen to my body more. So this month I allowed myself to focus on dance, and pushed the strength training to the side. The tape measure says I didn’t do myself a disservice so I’ll take that as a win. I ate my feelings once, made myself pretty ill and know now I won’t be doing that again. That being said, considering my mood, only once is pretty impressive compared to the damage old me would have done, so we thank God for progress 😄😄 I devoured another book, and and leisurely making my way through a third, putting me ahead of target for my reading goal. I went social dancing. I kinda fell out of social dancing last year, and forgot how much I missed it till I went back earlier this month, so I’m definitely making sure I keep doing that. And as for the last one, I think I’m gonna file it under ‘doing things that give me joy’ and baby cuddles are some of the best things in the world. So all things considered, not a bad second month. I’m ready to see what March brings. #progressnotperfection #goals #hellomarch https://ift.tt/39dvISS

Did I finish book number 2 for my reading challenge? Nope, I’m still only halfway through. But I did read this book as well. ‘So You’ve Been Publicly Shamed’ is such an interesting read. I’d definitely recommend it. Two months in, 2.5 books down #readersofinstagram #jonronson #bookstagram https://ift.tt/2Ta7yTR

Book 2/12 of my 2020 reading goal. Haruki Murakami is legit one of my favourite authors. If you like quirky authors, this guy is for you. #whatimreading #books #harukimurakami https://ift.tt/37xUVpw

We started strong this year. I’d just like to note that I actually did some kind of activity 4x a week EVERY week for the month of January, And I didn’t eat my feelings not a once, despite the busiest fortnight of my life at work and 2 weeks of sickness. That’s huge. Let’s do this February 💪🏾💪🏾 https://ift.tt/2Sc1vwl

Those who know me know my birthday lasts at least a week. So in the spirit of this, here’s a pic of me and the woman who gave me life (she may be looking over my shoulder as I type this) from my first day of birthday celebrations 😁 #selfie https://ift.tt/30zzMZX

One of my 2020 goals is to read at least 1 book a month. One of the sub categories of this goal was that they can’t just all be fiction. So, here is 1/12. I’m on page 12 and so far, so good. #2020goals #books #reading https://ift.tt/2QQBkdX
