I've been thinking the last couple of days about my dreams and why I started this business, and i'm sure this will grow as time goes on.

But for now my reasons why are:

- To be able to earn money whilst travelling the world and owning my own property.
- To be able to help my parents buy some land to start their dream campsite.
- To buy, renovate and sell properties.
- To be confident and happy in my own skin.
- To help other people overcome their fears and anxieties.

This list will continue to grow, as there are so many reasons for starting this incredible business. Of course there could be financial benefits, but this business really focuses on your health, both physically and mentally and i'm already seeing the benefits!

Why would you start an online business?

I've made no secret of the fact that I have anxiety, yes I'm not cured and I don't think I ever will be unless the voice in my head is removed haha.
I'm not a professional and I can't promise these tips will work for everyone, but I thought I would share some of the things that I have found help me.

Take a break - step away from the situation you are in a take a moment to clear your head. Assess the situation and how you feel, sometimes this might mean a day off work, or it could be stepping outside for 10 minutes.

Do Something you enjoy - maybe not right away if you're having a panic attack, but doing something that makes you happy can really adjust your mindset.

Get Outside - this one really helps me, even just 10 minutes in the fresh air can help to clear your mind. Even better a walk in nature 🌟

Breathe - take deep breaths and count back from 5, until you feel yourself calming down.

Talk about it - I am a big believe that you shouldn't bottle things up, as this could make a situation or how you feel a lot worse. Talking to a friend or family member, a counsellor or even your dog, gives you a moment to think about how you are feeling and rationalise it.

Listen to music that makes you happy. Or if you need a cry then sad music can help as well.

Move - we all want to curl up and wallow, but movement can really help get rid of those negative feelings.

Be kind to yourself - don't beat yourself up about how you feel, it is valid and your feelings are important.

Focus on the present - if your feeling anxious about the past of future, take some time to sit and focus on the present, and ground yourself.

Can't decide where to go?
Why not let someone else decide for you!? I had this same feeling a couple of years ago when I discovered a company called Journee, who do all the planning and booking for you!
Start by completing a questionnaire, where you're asked your interests, how busy you want to be, where you don't want to go, how long you want to go for and what your budget is........once you submit this they come to you in 24 hours with a trip proposal, but you don't know where you're going!
In the lead up to your trip you receive 6 clues, to help you guess where you're going, a couple of weeks before you get access to a packing list and then a pack is received in the post within the week prior to your departure, now you just need to hold out from opening it (I gave in and opened it a couple of days before 🫣) as it has your itinerary and destination card......such a fun concept and it really takes the stress out of deciding where to go and planning trip!

I've done this twice now, the first time was to Romania which was amazing....I'd always wanted to go as I love castles and lore, so this was perfect for me and they sent me to 3 places so I could experience more of the culture.

The 2nd destination was to Bulgaria, this was an equally great trip, with plenty of activities planned to keep us busy.

I've just completed a new questionnaire, I wonder where i'll end up next 🤔

Then, Present and Future

Big thank you to my family for always supporting me 🩷

Then - I was the quiet girl who sat in the corner at school, sometimes spending lunch breaks alone, lessons spent sat outside the head of years office and never truly feeling like she fit in. I really struggled, i'd make friends then lose them somehow and spent a good couple of years where my only friend was my sister, so it was a really difficult time.

The next 12+ years were also difficult, I had friends but I was constantly searching for a best friend and trying to fit in, doing things I didn't really enjoy and feeling anxious and at times depressed.

During the last 10 years, I've pushed myself out of my comfort zone and discovered how much I love to travel and see the world, sometimes alone! If only 13 year old me could see me now.

Present - I'm much more forgiving of myself and the way I am and think, despite still having anxieties and I have days where I struggle socially and feel like I don't belong, but I am much better than I was. I don't know if it's since I turned 30 or if it's just been a gradual progression but it's a relief to say the least. I still love to travel and want to continue seeing the world as much as possible but I'm proud to say i'm buying a property, so i'm starting a new adventure!

Future - I've never had a 5 or 10 year plan, and i've not really had any dreams or wants for the future, but I do know I want to continue travelling and seeing as much of the world as I can, whilst owning a property and I think i'd like to buy and sell properties that need work doing to them. I'm also excited to become more confident and learn to love who I am, and help others do the same🌟

When I look back at the past 20 🤯years, I can see how much I've grown in confidence and acceptance, I had so many counselling, cbt and hypnotherapy sessions but it never worked as for some reason I'd be confident and chatty with them, so they never saw an issue. But I think what's really helped is simply growing up and learning to appreciate the experiences i've had (good or bad) as without them I wouldn't be who I am now and I wouldn't have travelled as much as I have!

Who am I?

I'm 32, from London (or essex), the eldest of 4 girls and I have 2 handsome nephews and a beautiful Niece, with another on the way 🥰 I hope to be the cool aunty that comes home with exciting stories and souvenirs from around the world and to take them on a trip somewhere for their 18th birthdays! That would be a dream :)

I'm an introvert, and don't do that well in social situations, I constantly worry how i'm being perceived and struggling to join in conversations, so I do prefer a quiet night or one with a small group of people I know well and get on with.

I'm a huge bookworm (my kindle read books scrolls for days) and love to escape into a fantasy book, or try and work out who the guilt person is in a thriller, mystery or crime book! I'd actually really like to do Jury service one day 🤓 Another way I escape is by going to the cinema, I love a good movie with a bag of popcorn, just getting lost in another world.

Dogs are the best, I will see one on the street or train and they change my whole mood.....and I wouldn't change my poppy for the world, she is a little nutty at times but she's so lovable 🐶

Obviously I love to travel and get to know different cultures, try different foods and see amazing scenery and monuments, and anywhere in nature is my happy place and really clears my mind!

If you've made it to the end ;) tell me something about you!

Here's my first ever vision board, with a big focus on personal development, both mentally and physically. Another big goal for the year is to become a homeowner! All of this is achievable, I just need to work hard and believe 💪
Here’s to the journey ahead! ✨

Something I really struggle to think of what to post on Instagram, so spending some time this weekend to brainstorm post ideas, using Canva to get creative with it :) 🤩

We have more love for the UK with Kynance Cove in Cornwall for view 16, again I still can't believe this is in the UK 🤩
Cornwall is a must visit if you ever get the chance; cream teas, cornish pasties and some of the best beaches!
