Mim's Monday Moments
"We are the champions, my friends.."
Inspired by the Paris Olympics and @marywardinteriors , here are some things as a perimenopausal woman that I'd win a gold 🏅 in if they were a sport.
What would you win a gold medal in, if it was an Olympic sport?

Self care Sunday, started the morning off with a jog, treated myself to a fruity bowl of porridge with a dollop of vanilla yoghurt afterwards.
Then this afternoon I sat in a friend's garden chatting with a cuppa, meeting new people. Eating cherries and cake.
Finishing off the day with a walk.

"Ready to elevate your outdoor portraits game? Here's how:"
The sun is shining and you're thinking of taking some pictures outdoors.
Here's a tip to see where the best light is, use your hand to look at how the sun or shade falls on it. To give you a better idea of where to stand.
Enjoy your Friday and weekend to come, I'm off to Comic Con at the ICC in Wales, may try and post a few pics whilst I'm there.

Time to talk mental health and how photography can help..
In my latest episode of Mim's Moments season 2, I talk about how photography has helped with my mental health and how it can help you too.
It has been created using an editing software called Riverside, so it may not sound the same as my usual episodes, I'm still learning.
It's still me though, it's all about focusing on the positive and developing from the negative.
Here is the link for you to listen, copy and paste or there is a link in my bio.

"A cup of tea solves everything.."
In my case this morning, it helped me focus and be more productive. So far I've dealt with emails, booked on to a women's forum conference in September @h_w_chamber , which I'm really looking forward to.
Do you need a cuppa to fuel your productivity on a Monday, tea or otherwise?

Wednesday's word is books..
I love books and a browse around an independent book shop, is a way I like to relax. Adding authors to my tbr pile.
My favourite independent bookshop is Wyre Forest books in Bewdley. Nick is always friendly and welcoming and knows so much about authors and is great at recommending books.
This week is independent bookshop week.

"I may be alone in my business but I'm not lonely.."
Because I get involved in co-working groups, networking and netwalking.
This week is Loneliness Awareness week, when I first started up as a sole trader, I was quite lonely working on my own from home. Not sure if I was doing the right thing, but then I decided to venture outside and try networking. It was scary at first but I soon found supportive fellow sole traders.
This week the campaign is encouraging random acts of connection. So have a think about who you could strike up a conversation with or connection.

I've had a lovely half term, getting outdoors, meeting up with friends and family, discovering Dudmaston Hall and Comer Woods.
Getting outdoors is good for my body and soul.

Sunday self care, enjoying a nice cuppa, on national tea day.
I'm currently trying soya milk with my tea, as I've been told it's good for helping with the perimenopause.
I've also been to the running club, so I'm relaxing now watching other people run in the London marathon. They are all amazing 🤩 🏃♀️

Time to talk hair..
Today on my Mim's Moments podcast, I'm chatting with Shirl Ariton a holistic hairdresser.
She has just opened her first hair salon in Stourport. I've been coming to get my haircut with Shirl in her own home for a while now. She has worked really hard to find a welcoming and relaxing space for you to come and be pampered, leaving feeling fantastic.
A haircut and a massage what's not to like?

What makes you happy? ☺️
Today is international day of happiness.
For me personally, getting outdoors, reading and chatting to people, being inspired by them makes me happy.

Time to talk being on the radio 📻!
Big celebrations in my house tonight, as hopefully a few more people will hear about Mim's Moments the podcast I've created.
On tonight's BBC Hereford and Worcester upload programme, it's on now and repeated on Saturday. I'm nervous and excited at the same time. 🥺🎉
A big thank you to @ninadasgupta for interviewing me and to the wonderful @bbchw @bbcupload for taking a chance on me.
If you are creating a podcast, poetry, fiction, comedy, drama or any other creative project go along to the BBC upload and navigate to Hereford and Worcester.
Go on do it now or maybe wait till the show is over and good luck 🍀 📻 🥰

"Walking into this week.."
Even though I woke up feeling rubbish, I was glad that I made the effort to go to co -working group with Wendy @garrettlearning Lisa @sailmortgages and @nfaccountingservices at Bistrot Pierre Kidderminster.
It gave me the motivation I needed to start the week.
I've got a busy week ahead, with more networking, reflexology, running club and media consultancy work. Finishing off with Saint Patrick's Day at the weekend.
What are your plans for this coming week, what are you stepping into?
