It was my birthday yesterday-whoop, whoop, whoop (insert all the cake, balloons as well as champagne emojis) as well as I’m now 36!!
Don’t laugh however I believed I was really 37 this year as well as had to Google my age. You understand you’re getting old when you have to Google exactly how old you are, hey?!
Well, did you understand there’s a calculator on the internet where you insert the year you were born as well as it tells you exactly how old you are? So that’s the very first thing I’ve learnt aged 36: that I’m not 37. I’m such a dingbat!
So that was a benefit point of the lessons I’ve discovered as much as date (you’re welcome #rubbishpoint #moveon), the other 10 are below! They’re short however wonderful people since with age comes a shorter interest span as well as a busier life. Am I ideal or am I right?!
Thanks for all your love, birthday desires as well as support yesterday on my birthday as well as daily you darlings. You made this (birthday) woman feel so extremely special. I spent the day with my finest buddy Rebecca before celebrating with my hubby as well as household in the evening. My home is full of flowers as well as my heart is full of love!

Always be yourself. Be true to you. Being authentic is everything. people IRL as well as on the internet can sniff a fake out in no time so don’t put on an act, show people who you are. Not everybody will like you, naturally, however that’s OK, that’s life. Those who do, will understand the genuine you as well as that’s what counts. Don’t modification to in shape a mould, lead by example as well as like yourself. It’s the biggest gift a woman or person might have. when you do, others will too.
Take time out. My work life is in the very best shape yet (thanks to my fantastic manager Neil at Insanity) as well as now I have a routine which genuinely makes sense to me. Taking time out for my husband, buddies as well as household makes me work harder when I’m grafting. You have to really online your life to compose about your life. Time out replenishes as well as likewise revives as well as inspires.
Don’t be afraid to state ‘yes’. push yourself out of your comfort zone as well as go forth as well as flourish. pick yourself up after you make mistakes, discover from them as well as come back stronger as well as a lot more kick-ass than before. get hold of new chances with both hands as well as make a mindful effort to try the things you’re a lot of afraid of. If you don’t keep testing as well as trying things out, you’ll never find what makes you happy, since interests as well as likes are fluid.
Cut the negativity out. get ruthless with your life since you only have one to lead. step away from unfavorable energy as well as always depend on your gut. I frequently do a social network spring clean. It’s normally nothing personal, I just streamline who I comply with so I can focus on those I have a meaningful connection with. Do the exact same offline too. focus on who matters.
Be kind. indeed I’ve just told you to be ruthless with your life however that in turn indicates showing generosity to yourself. treat others exactly how you desire to be treated. keep that head held high.
Don’t judge. nobody understands what others are going with or the battles they may be dealing with day-to-day. try not to judge as well as instead keep open-minded where you can. provide hugs as well as like freely, you don’t understand exactly how your words may influence as well as impact others.
Dance daily. Whether it’s dancing at the steering wheel parked up or getting your Beyoncé on before bedtime, a life with dance in it, is one worth living.
Most issues can be fixed with tea as well as cake. Or at least made infinitely better.
Know your imagination has no bounds, you can be, do as well as produce whatever you dream up.
Trust the timing of your life. As Steve tasks said, ‘You can’t link the dots looking forward; you can only link them looking backwards. So you have to depend on that the dots will somehow link in your future’. believe me, the dots all connect, no experience nor adversity overcome, is ever wasted, whatever informs the future: your story. Simply, make them count.
I’d like to understand what you’ve learnt too, in your years on this fantastic world earth.
Now I’m off to take my own recommendations as well as take pleasure in a cup of black increased tea with a chunk of my blogiversary cake.
Happy birthday to me!
