Feeling close to burnt out so here's a picture from a few days ago playing around with the @disney filters! 😍😍 Each day is taking it's toll on me and I'm just about recovering for the next. Trying to remain positive when things look or feel despairing. I know I'm strong and I'm getting through but "fudge" it hurts....😭 I don't pray for an easy life but the strength to endure it. #disneyfanatic #nevertoooldfordisney #mentalhealthawareness #iamstrong #iamenough https://www.instagram.com/p/BwC9ciJn0ZH/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=uzjtpr8mfu46

Forward is forward no matter what. Baby steps is what I'm having to take this week at work. #quoteoftheday✏️ #positivevibes https://www.instagram.com/p/BvhlQdZnjuM/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=80m2pziv9p6z

Exam day! Nervous so I'm telling myself I'm excited to take this SBL exam down! @melrobbinslive 💪🏻💪🏻#lauramuirface #determination https://www.instagram.com/p/Bunmn4lHwhy/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=169k81ihz187h

This specimen paper really threw me as it was different from all other practice questions. Read it over a couple of times and coming up with alternative questions where it may also come up to widen the scope. Learning to the last second! #determination https://www.instagram.com/p/Buj8lFvl9se/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=sjm0ys5sntju

Today has been challenging but got another mock done this afternoon. Even had a positive mirror talk with myself and for once was able to tell the girl in my reflection I believe in her without any false conviction. I felt brave enough to mark my mock and got 59%. Now I've been teary feeling how proud I am of how far I've come was an immense emotion. Knowing I've still got a little more left in the tank. Learning 1 extra little bit each time...no longer letting frustration sink in if I use the wrong model. #positivethoughts #selflovegrowth #bekindtoyourself💜 #becomingabutterfly🦋 https://www.instagram.com/p/BuhcdpunRP-/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=8m90beaaidtq

Exam pressure slightly getting to me...gotta keep going but I'm so tired! 😭😭😭 #nohighlightreelhere #examstress #livingwithanxiety #lowselfconfidence https://www.instagram.com/p/Bue4JYhnXUR/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=scnlxop21kop

May only be just a pass but I feel like I've won the frigging jackpot!! Super proud of myself for doing a practice run for my exam on the 5th. https://www.instagram.com/p/BuUel94HOAd/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=13hjs68nx0vk6

Getting some ideas for new blog posts 😍😍 #inspiredwriting #motivation https://www.instagram.com/p/BuQoHDbnz_3/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=yzk0prvo4jor

Some days I look in the mirror and pull stupid faces because it takes my focus away from the love/hate relationship I have with my hair! With all the frizziness.....!!! The most important relationship is the one with yourself. #bekindtoyourself💜 #selfloveisnotselfish https://www.instagram.com/p/BuHaAZ7nKsz/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=g5zt25zmi07u

While ordering my best friend's birthday presents (special birthday in September) I ordered myself a little gift as well! Now my wrist might stop hurting as I hold my phone at weird angles when playing games 🤣 #selfloveisnotselfish #treatyourself #youareenough❤ https://www.instagram.com/p/Bt2mMx9nbXj/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=159cw7e5d23fz

Hard work pays off!!! #keepgoing #youareenough❤ https://www.instagram.com/p/BtymjCmF5cj/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1chf38synus6m

Found this on Twitter and I absolutely love this picture!! Just a beautiful reminder self love is important as that's where you'll find the strength to weather storms so rainbows can appear once they clear. It's been a tough time studying and working but also starting a new side project which I'm so excited about! As the countdown clock is ticking closer to exam day the anxiety and doubting myself has got worse. Positive messages from friends and family plus my tutor have really been keeping me going. 💖 Building the relationship with me has been the hardest as I battle with depression, anxiety and my old ingrained perfectionist habits. I need to learn how to be my own best friend and have my own back. I've got my dream holiday trip in June not to mention my big sis is due to give birth to her baby boy in April. He is my reason to push myself lately so I can be a good role model for him. 😍😙 https://www.instagram.com/p/Btts8j9Hl2v/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=vkxunineg1iu

Thick snow and still falling!! So glad I'm staying in, but my motivation to study has hit the floor...😖😖 https://www.instagram.com/p/BtWZwahnDya/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=mg79pgjarcy2

Another 7 hour day of studying complete!! Put a little bow in my hair because why not? #studymotivation #hairaccessories Side note: can't wait to get my hair done next weekend! https://www.instagram.com/p/Bs0wqX8A8Ek/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=oum6ecmmzwxa
