Twenty Twelve

So I've decided to do things differently this year; I've decided to let it all out....hence this blog.

I figure that others do it, so why can't I? I mean, I've always had an opinion or a story to tell, it's generally always been different to that of most others' and I'd love the comfort of knowing that there may be others out there who can identify with it.

So here I am :)

Twenty Twelve will be the year for trying new things, stepping outside my (incredibly cosy) comfort zone, for taking some chances and hopefully for some big fat pay offs in return.

Remember not to sweat the small stuff, enjoy every moment for what it is for it is over before you know it.

Stress less, smile more, sing, dance, don't be afraid to let go......and always get a good nights sleep :)

Here are my 5 rules for 2012 - inspired by the website marcandangel.com (if you EVER need some inspiration, motivation or life coaching tips, I'd suggest you jump on for a sticky beak...it's pure brilliance!)......

• Start giving your ideas and dreams a chance. Turn your thoughts into actions, find what works and find what brings you joy.

• Spend more time with the people that make you feel good, happy, safe, accepted, inspired, ALIVE! Don't waste time with those who do nothing than leave you feeling exhausted, confused, drained and frustrated. Life is too   short and isn't meant to be this tiring.

• Be yourself – genuinely & proudly; Stay true to your ideas, thoughts, feelings, beliefs, values & outlooks. Feel good in knowing that they are there and yours to own as you have earned them through life experiences.

• Create your own happiness. No one else can do truly do this for you. Share this happiness with others and be grateful for every moment & every smile.

•  Grow - Stay curious about the world around you; learn new things, embrace diversity & be actively involved. Don't ever get complacent or put things in the 'too hard' basket.
