Book review: Hello Life!

Image
So as I said in my last post I bought Marcus Butler's book 'Hello Life'. For those of you who may not know who he is, he is a British YouTuber and one of the many youtubers that have brought out a book. So I started reading it on the way back from Butlins and I found it really interesting as you are getting to know Marcus more as a person and what he did before YouTube. I don't want to give much away as truthfully you should go and buy the book, but the first part of the book is about healthy living and goes into how Marcus has changed his lifestyle to become healthier and he has also added tips and a workout that is simple to do. I really like this part of the book as it also has pictures of Marcus at the different stages of him losing weight showing the evolution of his body. It also has some healthy recipes and many other ways to have a better lifestyle. This part of the book is very useful for people who want to change their lifestyle around as a lot of the ch...

Anxiety and Panic attacks!

Image
So this is something I have really wanted to write about for a while now. I suffer from anxiety and I am starting to have frequent panic attacks. My first panic attack was over a year ago in a science lesson and even though I didn't know what was happening at the time I seemed to cope with it very easily. Ever since then a few of them have started without reason which has scared me and I have had some that have lasted for about 20 minutes. So what are Anxiety/panic attacks: A panic attack is an experience of sudden and intense anxiety. Anxiety is a feeling of unease, worry or fear. Everyone can feel anxious at some point in their life, but for some people it can be an ongoing problem. What can cause them: Anxiety and panic attacks have an unclear and unknown cause, yet are known to have a tendency to run in families. There also appears to be a connection with major transitions and happenings in the persons life. Severe stress can also cause panic attacks. Anxiety attack...

School!

So basically I have been so stressed out about so many things but the main thing has defiantly go to be school. Like everyday I have to wake up at half 6 to get ready which  is the worst thing for me as i am not a morning person. The thing about school that stresses me out the most has to be the amount of coursework and work in general I have to do. Like if we have a small bit of coursework then I wont mind but we just get so much and I really find it hard to complete it all on time and tend to fall behind because of all of it. The thing is when I am at home I am mostly doing catch up work  and my mum is always like 'You can't have that much homework' Yet I do because the majority of it is just me trying to catch up with my coursework. Another thing that really annoys me about school is the people that are there like, i'm not targeting this to any one in particular as this is a thing I notice everywhere. But so many people at my school are so bitchy like don't g...

Friends Part 2!

Image
For my second post I wrote about friends and what the qualities of being a good friend is, since than that has been one of my most viewed posts, and that has to be because with that post I really spoke from my heart and meant every word I said. Since than I have really come to grips on who my real friends are, and I have noticed how much they really mean to me. I love each and every one of my friends as I know that they will be there for me when I need them most and even though I may not show it I will always be there for them. So what are the real qualities of a friend? A friend will be there for you through thick and thin and not be there for just the good parts. A friend will come to your need and help you out even through you think that you don't need any help, they will be the light to your darkest of days and be that sunshine that you need. They will not turn their backs on you or talk about you behind your backs. They are someone that you can trust with everything you ...

Motivation!

Motivation, everyone needs a little motivation in life, motivation helps you get through things and helps to complete things and move to the next step in life. Without motivation it would be hard to complete things as you would tend to get distracted or you just don’t find the excitement to do things. Lately I have lost the motivation to do anything really as I have been finding it hard to concentrate with my school work and actually do it, for example I am actually writing this post while in Child development when I am supposed to be planning a child study visit. Lately school has just seemed like too much effort and I can’t really find the need to do my work. The thing is lately I have noticed how much my motivation of doing things has dropped as I can’t get my work completed on time and I just don’t can’t keep focused when it comes to homework and when I am in class I tend to drift off and start to think about random things. Also in maths last term I got a sub teacher, that w...

Book review: Girl online!

Image
So I got Girl online by Zoe Sugg (Zoella) who is a YouTuber for those who may not know her , as a Christmas present from my friend Jess, than again we aren't really friends as she hates me so we are more like people who socialise with each other when at school. Anyway I got it on December 16th and opened it early because i'm like that. So the day I received it I started reading it and literally when I started reading it I didn't want to put it down I got so caught up in it, I actually managed to finish it in less than a day. Even though it was a school night I actually stayed up all night,  jump around until we see the sun, and read it, I seriously didn't want to put it down. So for those of you who haven't read it, Girl online is a book about a girl named Penny who owns a blog and she suffers from anxiety. I'm not going to go into too much detail as you have to go and read it yourself. My favourite character is definitely the main character Penny as she ha...

New Me 2015!

Image
This year I have decided I need to change my lifestyle as quite recently I've been suffering from high levels of stress so I thought if I change some of the things I do it could help lower the stress levels. So I have come up with a few things that may help me and maybe some of you who might be going through stress. So the first thing is I think I should start being nicer to people as for example my friend Jess dyed her hair and it went ginger so I kept taking the mick saying how her hair was ginger just to annoy her as she didn't like the colour of her hair. So because of that and many other reasons I have decided to be nice to people and try not to annoy and piss them off as much as I used to. Also I have a problem where I am always doubting myself so I want to stop doubting myself as I am always thinking about the negatives when I need to start thinking about the more positive things as if my friend says that they were talking about me in a positive way I automatical...
