DAY FOURTEEN  //  LIST YOUR FEARS AND PHOBIAS.

 

There was a funny noise in the middle of the night, and after making my other half get out of bed to go and seek its origin it turned out to just be the wind, it had opened the door to our loft and was making a creaking noise. But this got me to thinking about fears and phobias. We all have them, some more than others. I also got to thinking about ones I have overcome, not many really but I did get over my fear of lifts after working in a hotel with 22 floors. How about you, what are you scared of?

I get brews with too much milk, not enough milk, too strong, too weak, too sugary, he wrong kind of milk, funny tasting water, in a mug (it's called a CUP of tea for a reson people!) and one family member forgets I drink tea and makes me a cup of coffee?!)

DAY THREE  //  LIST ALL THE THINGS THAT MAKE YOU FEEL HEALTHY - MIND, BODY & SOUL.

Today I decided to focus on all the things that make me feel healthy, firstly - in my mind – all the things that make my emotional state feel and be happy.

Secondly – in body – all the things that physical health-wise that make me feel good and well.

Thirdly – in soul – all the things that make my soul feel at peace and well.

I believe that in taking note of all the things that make you feel healthy, achieving a healthier-self is more do-able because you now have the tools and information identified to get you there!
