When long time online friends meet in real life 💚

Finally had the pleasure of meeting my beautiful friend in person this weekend & I popped my Sheffield cherry 🍒

It’s been 1.5 - 2 years we’ve known each other for now, we even spent last Christmas Day together on Zoom

She’s been my mentor, very special hilarious friend & been there in some of my toughest moments…

🍞 ~ We started off at for brunch - best mushrooms ever!
🛍️ ~ Lil bit of vintage & charity shop shopping
☕️ ~ for coffee & cake
⛰️ ~ A little hike in the Peaks
🦊 ~ Lucky fox famous fried chicken

Really enjoyed the slower chilled pace of Sheffield compared to Liverpool & can’t wait to return!

The best thing about working online is being able to connect with lifelong friends who you might have never known otherwise & the best bit is then meeting in person 🙌

Until we meet again xx

Tips to journal 📝👇

It can feel silly at first & hard to know what to journal about - I get it - I’ve been there!

But when I started to commit to actually giving it a go consistently, it’s been a mindset *game changer* for me feeling more gratitude & abundant daily

Here are some tips on what & when to journal..

👉 Start small - less than 5 minutes per day, best time is usually either when you get up to set your day in good spirits or at the end of the day before you go to sleep

👉 Write 3-5 things you are grateful for & why in your life (could be as simple as - the sun, the bed you sleep in or someone you love)

👉 Write 3 wins that happened that day (again can be as simple as someone gave you a compliment, you handled something well in work or you found £1 on the floor)

👉 If you feel you are overwhelmed by lots of thoughts & overthinking - just get out your pen & paper - start free writing all your thoughts out - it doesn’t have to make sense - it can just help to clear space in your head by moving them to paper

👉 If you are having negative thoughts about something- how can you switch it into a more positive reframe & keep writing that instead as an affirmation to help reaffirm that new belief in your mind & body

👉 The book that helped me fully embrace journaling & how to feel more daily gratitude was “The Magic” - stay open & follow the steps each day & it becomes a new habit.. & naturally you will be looking more for the best in situations not the worst…

*what we focus on expands* - the more we can recognise all the great & richness we have & that is around us - the more that will come back to us

Struggling with journaling & need any tips on where to start - comment below & I can share some pointers

I sold my car to start my online biz —do I regret it? 🚗⤵️

Sure I miss it for impromptu solo hikes & handiness. But, honestly no regrets!

Coz its about the bigger picture here

I refuse for my one short life to be tied to a job thats restrictive, drains me or doesn’t light up my soul

I won't settle for a life that doesn't let me explore this Earth, support it or provide for myself & loved ones

Building *any* biz will either require investment, ongoing expenses, overheads, training or outsourcing if you want it to grow 📈

Did I let that scare me - when I wasn’t in the best financial position??

NO! of course not I just got resourceful.

If others did it in a similar if not worse position ~ *why not me?*

I also sold furniture, juggled bills & subscriptions, got a part-time job - anything to ease monthly finances

Why?… Coz my vision for FREEDOM is my NON-NEGOTIABLE 🕊️

& the online biz model I found after a lot of searching - although requires *upfront* work, effort & consistency..

is THE BEST way I found to create *Long Term* time, health & financial freedom *far sooner* than any job

I know precisely what I *don't want* my life to look like & that propels me

👉 My advice to help evaluate if any new opportunity is worth your work or investment:

• don’t approach it first with: “How much is the cost?” ❌

• but rather first with: “What RETURN will this give me?” ✅

examine the returns on your: energy, finances, health, time, personal development, relationships & whole life!

Once you open up & *embrace the possibilities* that’s when you’ll discover starting is EASIER than you realise!

What’s a few short-term sacrifices for long-term gains?

Don't give up so easily; open yourself to a world of possibilities

There are ALWAYS ways & options!!!

Let’s explore them…

YOUR dreams are sooo worth it friend 💫✌️

I’m not lucky 🍀 ❌

Contemplating as I eat my walnut tart & coffee: that I’ve seen this word used a lot lately: L-u-c-k-y ☕️

“you are lucky coz you basically get to have your own schedule..
work for yourself, your vision board manifestations are coming true” etc …

& I’m seriously grateful for moments like this - pure bliss & peace 🧘‍♀️

but let’s not forget that I chose to do this… it didn’t just come by luck!

I decided I wanted to live this way always - with no restrictions
& live a life of my own design..

so I chose to start putting in the intentional work to make it happen

However.. I still have a part time job
I’m working ‘towards’ financial security
I’m not in Thailand or traveling yet
I don’t have “pure” freedom.. YET!

Work in progress.. always growing
Nothing happens over night.. 🌱

and it’s coz of some very “unlucky” things & “unhappy dark times” that fulled this determination to make
BIG changes in my life

*I didn’t want to stay in that place*

I could tell you a bunch of things going on that could be seen as very unlucky

But that’s not what I want to *focus on*

the reason this year has been one of the biggest turn arounds is coz..

I decided: No more excuses, victimhood, complaining, reacting, ungratefulness & playing small 💥

I chose to focus on *deeper gratitude* for my life more than ever, feeling into it, consistently every day

peeps used to say to me - try journaling & I’d say “It doesn’t work for me” (being so defensive & unopen)

When I started this biz our homework was to read & do all the journalling & gratitude tasks from the book “The Magic” everyday 🪄📚

It felt silly at first but it made practicing gratitude a habit & now it’s a part of me.. to say it changed my life around is an understatement 🙃

——-

~ “When you can begin to learn how to change your thoughts, you can start to change your life”

“Internal change is the key to the external change in your life” Ed Mylett ~

I’m making some big decisions currently - that’ll only help me move closer to my vision

2 years ago this id have spent hours worrying & wouldn’t be able to sleep in these

This time I feel cool as a 🥒

Excited to share more soon..

10/09/2023

Think its safe to say - I can now start fully sharing properly what I do on this page (been being careful to ensure I can stay friends with FB as I had some previous restrictions)

👋 So to start here is my most recent intro from Insta..

I started this as an Instagram page a year ago as a place to document my personal development journey & newly started hiking trips

it was something Id wanted to doing for years but I wasn't really living in a way that was true to myself by partying all the time

& then some health issues made it very hard to stay consistent

even though I’m not the best hiker (incline is my killer) I’ve still always been a bit of a nature lover & explorer

probs from spending my childhood solo exploring the woods in the Lake District at our family caravan - its what puts me at ease 🌲🏔

I also love travelling, but coz these things were both missing from my life, I was starting to feel very empty & like I was not living up to my true purpose - so I knew I needed to make some big changes..

Coz I want to fully experience things & adventure in a leisurely way - budget travel or rushing around place to place or trying to squeeze everything into a 2 week holiday, just wasn’t what I wanted ❌

And never want to leave my dog or put him in any stressful unsafe situations..

that’s partly why the vision has always been to have a base or 2nd home in Thailand & be able to explore more gradually from there.. 🌴

Long story cut short.. I made some big changes in my life, starting working online & then...

~ I discovered an Online Business Model in High Ticket Affiliate Marketing & saw the life lots of others were living through it - I just knew *this* was going to be the thing to help me create that vision that *I really wanted* & the whole model just ticked all the boxes for everything I had been looking for, for a long time! ~

The whole mission of the business is to support individuals, physical & mental health & long term wealth

The crazy thing is - we also work with the leading & only medical grade, gold standard Water Ionizers in the world originated from Okinawa Japan- one of the Blue Zones known for the highest life expectancy rates in the world (the machines get the healthiest, most hydrating & cleanest drinking water available into peoples homes) they are the most incredible machines - transforming so many peoples lives

I didn’t even know existed before, but ended up being exactly what I needed for my health concerns & I haven't felt as good physically as I have since drinking this water! 💦

**It was like it was meant to be!**

Now being so passionate about this biz model & the products, I’m going to keep sharing much more about both here & raise the awareness as I keep building..

I just know there are also so many other people out there looking for something like this!

👉 & apart from that I live in Liverpool Uk, my fav things are music, dancing, singing, my dog Riff, trying new foods, deep conversations, reading & swimming 🎸🐶🍕📚🐠

📍Colwyn Bay > Little Orme > Llandudno

Beautiful photos which I haven’t shared fully from a few weeks back except on my stories!

11 miles (was meant to be 13) but we started late due to train issues & we all had sore feet 🤣 so instead stopped in Llandudno for cakes & coffee.

Love that only 3 of us turned up for this walk - when there’s usually about 20 on these groups - this missed out on seeing seals & lovely weather ☀️🦭

My foots only just healed (not sure what I did to it) back off to Wales today to enjoy what could potentially be the last of this heat!

What’s everyone else up to this weekend??

07/09/2023

Yesterday my baby turned 4 & unfortunately I let him wait a day to get his place on the gram 🤣🎈🎂

Mum guilt..

He is a big reason for everything I do & I wouldn’t be here without him today

He saved my life & brought back my passion & love for so much that I thought was lost… I treasure every moment with him because he’s such a special soul

Sometimes I wonder what I did to be blessed with the most beautiful, funny, loving, sock munching, easy going pup 🐶🧦

Happy birthday baby Riff - 4 years old xx

(P.s this is his fav song 🍓)

Alphin Pike, Chew Valley & Dovestones

🥾Distance: 17.23 km
🏔Ascent: 787 m
⏱Moving time: 5 hour 47
📍UK - OL3 7AF

This was a hot day 🥵 25 degree & very humid! Was back in June now but realised I never posted my breakdown of the walk..

Time of the month hit me bad & I was narky, hangry, sore & anxious for the first half of this walk. Incline killed me off.. good style 😅

I also packed my bag with lots of 9.5 electrolysed reduced water - along with multiple ice packs to keep my hello fresh chicken schnitzel & iced coffee cold - which made my bag extremely heavy so I got laughed at🎒💦

But then peeps thought it was pretty clever when I had an ice pack to stuff down my top in that heat 👍

When I was walking very close to the very high cliff edge on the tinniest little path someone whispered behind me “don’t slip now” when my legs were already like jelly - Wtf???

All in all after a lot of huffing to myself - I actually think that this was my fav walk with the hiking group 🤣 actually really want to go back & do this one on my own sometime

I have this weird love / hate relationship with heights - I can be really scared of them but I also crave that excitement & adrenaline lolllzz

Let me know if you’ve ever done this hike & how do you deal with heights??
🤪🤪

Life was made for moments like these. Not being stuck in an office most days. Comment below if you agree!

📍Hall Road, Little Crosby, Sefton to Maghull (Liverpool) 9 miles

So nowhere fancy or too far for this one. Was 20 minutes from town centre on the train.

& always good to discover new places local that I didn’t even know existed & really enjoyed being out with everyone

The photo of the meadows were home of the Mesolithic archeology & sites of ancient homes of vikings.

Riff was going to come but unfortunately has a blocked ear 😢 so he had to stay at home.

If you always do what you’ve always done

You’ll always get what you’ve always got

04/08/2023

What’s the one thing you care about more than anything ??

That’s not a possession or a thing…

That something that you really want to do, achieve or bring to this life..

👉Maybe it’s::

~ Connection & love: you never want to miss a moment of spending precious time with your partner, friends or family 💚

~ Earth: maybe you want to explore the ends of the earth or be able to support it in some way 🌎

~ Animals: you want to do something like open or support a shelter for dogs or animals or give your pet the best love & care they can have 🐾

~ Children: be able to give your children the best funnest life possible & be the more loving present parent 👶👧

~ Others: maybe you want to help someone who is unwell or struggling with something that you wouldn’t wish on them to have to experience 🧍‍♀️🧍

~ Contribution: a great idea or service that you want put out there & deliver to the world or help a cause you care about or in your community 🤝

~ Best Life: you want to be able to experience your best life, more joy, peace, experiences, better health & not waste any of the time you have alive ⏳

—

I mean you could keep working your full time job for MANY years to come..

& struggle to find the time, finances or ways to do this within that short space of time you have available

>OR you could dedicate just an extra 1-2 hours a day in the short term now

to create a better income & much more time for yourself in the next 2 to 5 years

& live out *YOUR MORE* for the rest of YOUR LIFE!! (Rather than someone else’s)

👉 Which sounds better to you!??

And into the forest I go, to lose my mind & find my soul 🌲🌳🏔🌿🌈

Part 2 photies from Barf, Lords Seat, Broom Fell, Whinlatter Forest - near Keswick, Lake District with

There’s just something about the Lake District… even though this day was rediculously cold, wet & windy.

It doesn’t matter I still can’t help but miss that homely feeling & smell of forest, moss & fresh when im not there!

How about you??

26/07/2023

What did you want to be when you were younger 👧 …?

If you’d ask me that question:

As a kid I’d have said author & illustrator 📚

As a teenager I’d have said happy 😊

After I left school I’d have said rockstar 🎸🤘

What I’d NEVER have said was working online selling water machines 💦

But what I’ve come to realise is:

it’s not about the WHAT.. ❌

✅ It’s about the WHY!!!

~The WHY I do this & the kind of LIFESTYLE I want to create ~

Im very *passionate* about doing something if I feel *fulfilled!*

Which for me is about:

✔️ Doing more of the things I love!
Swimming, hiking, eating, dancing, reading…

✔️Be able to have a choice how I spend & schedule my time - not just save it for a holiday or a weekend or a couple of hours a day

✔️Not having restrictions on finances or location

✔️Not having to jeopardise my health or have unnecessary stress

✔️Be able to bring spontaneous creativity & fun into my every day

✔️Be present to chat & have a laugh with friends & meet new peeps

✔️Do something that feels meaningful & really impact others with their health, wealth & wellbeing

✔️Support those & the things I care about in their world

~ & yes *This Water Business* model ticks ALL those boxes for me~
MY WHY???.

Basically it’s driven by a fear:

~ Lying on my death bed knowing I didn’t try to live life to its fullest or I lived a life that wasn’t one Id have chosen!

~ & not getting the chance to explore & experience some of the most amazing beautiful places, things & people this earth had to offer before it disappears

————-

👉 If you’re like me & also appreciate all these things & you’re wanting to start living & breathing your own WHY!

then maybe working online with this water business might not be such a bad idea for you either!

~ You probably didn’t dream of this career but I bet you dreamed of this kind of lifestyle you can create✌️~

Life was made for moments like these. Not being stuck in an office most days! Do you agree?

14/07/2023

Ever dream about?… ⬇️

The day that you are able to:

👋 finally wave goodbye to your unfulfilling 9-5 or 8-6 or whatever?

🏝 don’t have to ask permission to go on holiday or to the doctors?

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 don’t have to cram in the whole of your life “around” your job?

🥾 spend your every day exploring & do the things you love & still bring in an income?

😭 don’t have to go into a workplace & deal with stress on the days you don’t feel your best self?

🌅 a slow morning where you can leisurely ease into your day & not have to rush all over?

🌍 spend the rest of your life traveling or be able to move to that place you’ve dreamt of forever?

🎉 not need to live just for the weekends or for those 4 weeks of holiday a year you are granted by your job?

❤️‍🔥 find something that gives you so much fulfilment that working never feels like “working”

I want to share with you that…

**you are not alone!!**

I used to dream about allll these kinda things daily & still do!

But now I know that all these things *DO NOT have to stay JUST “Pipe Dreams” anymore*

YOU don’t have to WAIT till the day you retire

YOU CAN start creating this TODAY!

*this is your sign*

13/07/2023

Surround yourself with those who have what you desire 🏝

Money cant “directly” buy you happiness & it’s not ALL about the big financial wins..

I’ve never been one to want tones of money or buy lots of things

but I DO desire *life experiences!*

Money is something that can ensure our basic needs are met & that’s why we go to work… right??

To buy us: security, the best health, peace of mind, more time to spend with others, freedom to do what we love..

Plus the more leftover income we have after outgoings the more experiences in life we can have! ✔️

If more Life Experiences & Freedom is something you desire too. Then look to others who are creating this or who have been there & created it already!

12/07/2023

Are you going to carry on letting other peoples standards dictate & stop you from *living YOUR best life?*

The moment I decided to change from what *I’d always done*

& instead started to do things
*I always wanted to do*

& began to say NO to the things that didn’t feel right to me or just not what I wanted to do anymore

that’s when I started to feel the happiest & most at peace I’ve ever felt
& better things started to happen for me!

I started to set *My Own Standards*

it’s hard at first, people might say you are selfish, a let down, making mistakes, boring, weird, risky

& try tell you what’s best for you

but.. truly just listening to you
that inner voice & guidance system
is the best thing you can do 🥰

If you are basing your standards on what *everyone else* is doing around you..

then you are living a lie to yourself & you are never going to live *YOUR Best & Most Authentic Life!*

~ YOU do YOU ~

You’re the only one who can really take control of what you wanna do anyway ✌️

Conwy Mountain - North Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

📍 LL32 8LD

Super easy to get here by train, can’t believe I’ve never done it & only ever passed through in the car.

Picked an 8 mile hike along the front then up the mountain (more like big hill) & round the back through a wildlife park

Absolutely stunning views & beautiful colours & wild horses 🐎

Had a little walk along the castle walls 🏰

& Finished off with a mocktail for me in a secret garden & then fish & chips for tea 🥰

Got the train back home to Liverpool - took about 1.45 mins
