13 things 2017 has taught me

Hi everyone,

It's that time of the year when I like to see where I am with the goals I set out to achieve and also reflect on the past few months. With that in mind, I thought it would be fitting to write a post in this style as it's something I have never done before. Perhaps some of you can relate to what I have mentioned and if so, feel free to comment below.

• What you allow is what will continue

• Silence is golden

Whether it's being alone in the house for an hour or taking a walk along the shore, sometimes your own company is the best company

• There is power in a good nights sleep

Recently I cannot stay awake past 9pm or sleep in past 9am and have found it's worked wonders for my productivity

• What you put out into the world, you get back

• Appreciate the little things in life

You will look back and realise they were in fact the big things

• Everyone has days when they don't want to get out of bed

• Laughing until you cry is one of the best feelings

• A mistake is just a lesson learned

Everyone makes mistakes, we're only human. The key is to take the positive from every situation

• Time is precious so everything will happen for a reason

• If you really want something, you'll find a way - if not you'll find an excuse

• Time out from social media is liberating

• Age is only a number

I really struggled with the idea of turning 25 - the only way I could see it was that I am half way to 50 and I guess I panicked. I am now out of that phase thankfully (it took a long time I'll not lie) and I've realised that it is pointless putting a time limit on everything. You just have to do what you can when you can and live every day to the absolute max!

• When things feel like they're falling apart, in reality, they're falling into place
