Your Happy Life

Hi guys I thought I would share some that is real and honest with you and I have/had any plan how to write this, I have literally put pen to paper so say. which in itself is a bit scary as you never know quite what you are going to get, or if everything is spelt right or the grammar is correct, so please for give me for that .

Any way Is it just me or do you find really good quotes or meanings from kind of songs people either put there nose up to today and do not admit listening to, not even once and make fun of, that they do.
sometimes actually have good life lessons in then and can inspire people.

People get different things out of different songs and different genres of music. Nearly everybody enjoys or listens to music and there are many different reasons for it some people find it relaxing or calming or it makes them happy, some people even find certain songs speak to them and help them with what they are dealing with in there own life as many songs are written though life experiences of the song writer.

Myself personally I listen and enjoy music because it makes me feel happy, inspired , and certain music makes me feel relaxed. I listen to a wide range of music and it all depends on the song , even sometimes the memories it holds in the song good or bad. It is all part of my life and part of what makes me, well me. and that is a pretty special thing which makes music in my mind a pretty special and important thing .

Here is a list of some songs I think have some words of meaning or inspiration even if it is only a line

1. S Club 7 - Bring it all back
2. Christina Aguilera - Beautiful
3. Alicia Keys - Superwomen (Obviously if you are a women)
4. Katy Perry - Firework
5. Katy Perry - Part of me
6. Jessie J - Who's Laughing Now
7. Mariah Carey - Hero
8. Eminem - Lose Yourself
9. Christa Aguilera - Fighter
10. Jewel -Stronger Women (Again this is for a women/female)

May I just add these are in no particular order. They were just a 10 songs I could think of and have had meaning at some point to me in my life. I know there are many more but I did not want to make to big a list and bore everyone.

Please leave a comment and say what your songs/song that has meaning to you or has inspired you. I would be more then happy to hear them.



Hi Guys and Girls!



I have been thinking about how little people do not understand what mental health is and what comes under mental heath, or how to deal with it and how people think it is a bad thing, that these people are to be avoided or looked at in a different way. Instead of helping them in any way they can.

Life is NEVER easy but for people with a mental health issue, it can be even harder for them and doing day to day things, that most of us take for granted can be near impossible for people with mental health issues.

So I thought if you started to teach children from a certain age when they are old enough to understand such a topic then maybe as they grow older there will be less of a stigma against mental health and people will understand  what mental health is and be able to deal with it or help someone to deal with it. Another bonus to this would be that young people will be able to get the help from support groups or other organisations that are trained and able to deal with such issues.

The younger it is possible to teach children/young adults about mental health the more accepting and understanding they will become. Of course you will have to have a teacher or someone that is educated in this matter to teach it .

(Sorry if this post is not that amazing and lacks my normal sparkle but it is getting late here and I am feeling a tiny bit tired and the picture at the top was taken by me about a year ago).

Hi Readers

I was thinking the other day, how everyone is always labelling or looking reasons why someone is different to you and there not as good as you (I am aware not everyone does this but there are people out this judge a book by it's cover).

A big reason, for this I believe is the Media and social media and the way that people are portrayed. Which is not what most people are actually like.! People come in all shapes and sizes which is OK and should be celebrated more and not feel like it wrong to be who you are. Not be made to think that if you don't fit the mould then you are not right you are not accepted and made to dislike your body or worse hate it (which upsets my greatly).




But the media also can make you feel like the things you enjoy, hobbies, interests and lifestyles are not to be like and enjoyed and that we all have to like and enjoy the same things the right things. Which is completely 100% wrong! I myself prefer knowing and having friends that are into different things and have different views.

It doesn't matter how cool you are how hot or good looking you are there is always someone who is better or better looking then you. what matters is how you are the best that you can be never mind what  label that is.

Hi Everyone

I have recently been thing been thinking about what is actually good for you or I or people in general with some many different and opposite so called facts or do we just listen to what people tell us and make out it's all true and what they say are right? As there are a lot of people out there, like that.

So I was watching this very interesting documentary on clean eating and if it was actually doing us. A added bonus to this was that Gracie Victory was presenting the documentary and if you do not know who she is then where have you been? She is a YouTuber who makes videos from anything from beauty and fashion to body image and mental illness. I personally love her work on mental illness and body image all her videos on the subjects. I have been following her on YouTube for many many years now.

Like me and a lot o girls/women out there she is not Skinny she has real curves and she has/had her own body issues, which I for one have struggled with for many years now, but she say's sod it to trying to be perfect and see's the beauty in her own body and encourages others to find the beauty in their body and I think she is a really inspiration and a role model.

Anyway, I got a bit off track there, so I learnt a lot for this documentary, more about not to do any of these fad diets and that clean eating is more or less not doing you any good. You may lose weight thought it, but at what cost to your body, it can seriously mess your body up. I f done for a while some can sometimes tell the effects after a few days or weeks, depending on what your diet was like before. The best kind of eating is a balanced diet making sure your body gets all it needs to function properly and at the end of the day that is the most important thing any way. Who really cares if someone doesn't think your body is perfect? I bet if you looked under the hood their body would not be perfect either!

Hello There Readers



I thought it would be good that today's post would be about improving your mood as from time to time, everyone has bad mood, or feeling a bit down or stressed out in life. It's only human to feel these things and healthy to, but some times you just get fed up of feeling like this or just want to feel better.

So as I have been feeling a little up and down emotionally lately, I thought it would be helpful to share some helpful (or hopefully helpful) tips on boosting or improving your mood. Which like most things in life is down to you.

So here goes:

• Give someone a compliment

This will help you feel better about yourself as well as making someone else feel good about them self. So your just spreading the love and happiness. It's the small things that go along way in life.

• Act how you want to feel

So the theory behind this is, if you are thinking about how down or unhappy you are the more likely you are going to feel like that (see where I am going with this). So if you think positive happy thoughts you will feel more positive or happy. Why not give it a try?

• Think of the positives in the situation

Even in a bad situation there is always some positives to come from it. You just have to change the way you look at the situation itself, for example you may not want to go to an event with your friend/friends as that particular event does not interest you or a group of people you d not like or do not get on with will be there. Instead of looking at it like that think of it more like I may meet some interesting people there and possibly make some new friends or it might be nice to try something different out of my comfort zone or I might learn something from this or learn something about myself. This should make you look at situations in a more positive way.

• Appreciate what you have

Think of the basic things that you have and are grateful to have for instance a roof over your head, your health, your family and friends and your job. Just remember not everyone is as lucky as you are. You may not have everything you want in life, but always take a moment to stop and think about the things you do have and be grateful that you have those things and how lucky you are. You could also make a list of things that you appreciate that you have, so you can look at it and remind yourself how lucky you are every once in a while. We tend to get lost in the big picture of things and forget to take it back to basics.

• Talk to someone about it

This one personally helps me because it can make you feel better by just talking about it, plus the other person can have a different outlook on it and make you think more positively about the it. even give you some good advice. I often build things up in my head to be worse then they are in reality and sometimes it is just nice to know there is someone there when you need them. I am sure they will not mind listening to you as I am sure you will return the favour when they need you

I hope this helps at least one person lift there mood let me know if you like this or find it useful

Hi Everybody!
How you all doing? Let me tell you about this little thought I had and thought was a bit thought provoking. I wasn't doing anything very exciting or of any particular meaning when I had this thought come into my head that maybe just maybe people or humans were not suppose to be perfect? I know to some of you this may come as a shock to you ! But stay with me.

If everyone was suppose to be perfect at some point in their life then why are every single human being different in some way, making the whole thing of being perfect an option? Just think about that for a minute. Everyone option of what is perfect will be different in some way even in the slightest way as our options and thought are shaped by our life experience.

If you take two people from completely different backgrounds their ideas and thoughts are going to be completely different because their life experiences have been completely different, even two people who's life experiences have been similar will not be completely the same, yes they may agree on more things but not exactly everything.

So this lead me to think maybe the best thing we all can do is to be our best self  and stop trying to be 'perfect' in other people eyes maybe we were all suppose to be different there is reason for that, because face it if everyone was the same the world would be a boring place indeed.

Please let me know what you think. I would love to know you can leave a comment in the comment box or leave a message somewhere else then feel free to and I will try to answer you back

Hi people of the world!!!

I was have been feeling a bit anxious to today and last night/evening and I got to thinking of why I tend to get these feelings of anxiety, sometimes they can be often but other times they can come out of know where and more then likely linked to something I am unaware that I am thinking about. Which can be a bit annoying from time to time as I have no idea why I am feeling these feelings or it, it could also be I do not realise what is bothering me and when this happens there is not a lot I can do about except trying to calm myself down (not always that easy I can tell you) or try to thinking and work out what is bothering me, which can lead to more worrying which is never good. Sometimes I find It helpful talking to someone about it and how I am feeling as It is true what they say and problem shared is a problem halved, that way you can both work on easing your mind and that person can reassure you everything will be ok and there is nothing to worry about.

Other times my brain cannot stop thinking of the reason for this bout of an anxiety and no matter what I do I cannot stop thinking of it and it builds up until I can calm myself or solve the problem which can be a while trust me and can take over days if not more of my life which I personally hate but can not do anything about it sometimes other times I try everything under the sun to calm myself.

A lot of the time this is the result of my over thinking which I tend to do a lot of, I also tend to think the worse case scenarios, which then some of the time causes the anxiety in the first place or I believe it does (so you can see it is a bit of a circle here going round and round). I try to not over think things as in kicks of the whole circle going on, which then affects my daily life and my enjoyment of It in stead of enjoying every minute of my free time I end up worrying what might happen and what if it does happen then what will I do and start worrying and panicking and having anxiety. Instead I try and do some things to calm myself a resolve my way in thinking some of these ways can be these:

•  Listening to calming music e.g. classical, relaxing sounds
• Concentrating on breathing
• Meditation
• Sitting outside and listening to the sounds around me e.g. Birds singing
• Talking to someone about it
• Thinking positively or making a plan to deal with what ever is bothering you
• Telling myself it is going to be ok I'm safe and It's going to be ok  

 These are some of the things I do to calm myself down or to stop my anxiety. I hope this helps you in some way and if you have any other ways you deal with your anxiety then feel free to share them in the comments.
