The things I am planning on adding into my life


I am working hard lately to upgrade my life in so many ways so I can start living the life I want without my confidence or other factors holding me back. The plan is to live a more luxurious life whilst not wasting money for the sake of it like I previously have done. This isn't just in terms of clothing and accessories though I want every area to be more luxurious and I am also planning on adding a whole lot more self care into my life as it is very much needed for my mind these days and some forms are on the more luxurious side of things. 
So here are somethings that I am adding into my life to add a whole lot more self care and a bit of luxury into my day to day life as it is time to really look after myself at long last...

Spa days

 I went to a spa at the start of the year and it was the most relaxed I have been in a long time. The plan going forward is to try add more spa days into my life, maybe one every few months where I can just leave all technology behind and full switch off like I previously did.

Contrast therapy sessions

There are now a few places locally that do the hot and cold contrast therapy sessions so I think it is time to add a few sessions into my life. Currently I am loving ice baths post workouts as it really helps with recovery so I feel like I would really get the benefit of a contrast therapy session and see a lot of aspects of life improve from it.

Concerts

I want to attend more concerts going forward however I want them to be a bit less chaotic than other concerts I have attended. My taste in a lot of areas of my life is changing and I have seen a shift in what I am consuming especially when it comes to music. My choices these days are a lot more relaxed than previous and I think the concerts I attend going forward are going to reflect that. So far for 2025 I have McFly, G4 & Il Divo booked and I think that just reflects how life is changing.

Theatre trips

The plan is to add a whole load more theatre trips to the itinerary for 2025 and beyond. There is always a fantastic selection of shows on for us locally and we really do need to start making the most of what is on our doorstep. Currently we have a trip to see Hamilton on the cards and fingers crossed going forward we can add even more shows to the list.  

Breaks away 

Fingers crossed this works out and we get a lot more breaks booked for me, Liam and the dog. Ideally these breaks would be into the middle of nowhere in a nice lodge for some peace and quiet whilst also discovering new places. 

Countryside walks

Going forward I want to be adding multiple countryside walks a month into my life. If I am not playing or watching football I am hoping to be out and about in the nearby countryside which I am sure you will all get sick of seeing if you follow me on social media. I am really looking forward to getting out on these though and I am sure the dog will love it too.

I think it is safe to say these changes would help us upgrade our lives whilst having a much slower pace of living than we are used to which is going to have a massive impact us mentally and will be more than welcome so let's see if any of these additions start to take shape in 2025 and beyond.

See you soon,

In 2025 Vision board bingo is taking place

Scrolling through TikTok towards the end of 2024 I came across people doing a vision board bingo instead of the usual vision boards and it just looked like a great alternative for me to give a go in the hopes of keeping me more motivated to hit my goals going forward. All I had to do was set up a grid, fill in my goals and work towards winning the card in the typical bingo card fashion with a prize being awarded every time a winning combination was achieved.  

Last year I did a vision board as my wallpaper on my Macbook and in all honesty I forgot about it after a few months and looking back at it now nothing worked on it. This time around though I am going to give this bingo style a go and hopefully see myself tick off a whole host of my goals over the next 12 months. I have done 3 cards for this year each one with a different area to focus on, so I have life, fitness and content goals to work on and each grid is made up of 25 goals for me to complete with some being little goals that overall lead to the big overall one for the year.

I am really hoping that by keeping these goals separate it helps me see what it is working throughout the year and what needs changing up in each aspect of life to ensure I am on track to hit the goals I have set out for myself. To make sure I am constantly reminding myself of my goals I have pinned these cards to the wall at the side of my desk so I see them and can see what I am close to achieving or that I need to work harder to get close to. 

With these cards constantly in my eye line I am really hoping I can keep on track and start putting together some winning combinations which could be a line horizontally, diagonally or vertically, 4 corners or a full house which I am hoping to hit by the end of the year. Once each of these combinations are made there will be a reward which I am still trying to come up with but keep an eye on social media as I am sure I will post a pic/reel of me completing the reward or I may even do a post wrapping up what it took to achieve the goal if a full post could be done around it. 

There is a big push towards achieving all these goals if possible in 2025 after what felt like a disappointing 2024 where I achieve basically 0 goals I set for myself and I really hope the bingo cards play a big part of spurring me on especially as a few fitness goals and content ones are going to be pretty hard to hit and require a lot of discipline. I think the content ones are going to be hard however, the fitness ones are going to be where discipline really comes into play and are honestly some of the biggest priorities going forward as fitness is one of my main areas of focus over the next 12 month.

Now let's get marking some of these goals ticked off. I am hopefully by the end of the first quarter of the year I will have a few completed so let's see how it plays out.

See you soon,
