Hey Guys,
This is the fourth instalment in the #7Life Lessons posts I've been doing, but I'm actually enjoying this format so much, I'm thinking of just turning this blog into a LifeLessons forum lol. We'll see.
It's not that serious!
Do you find yourself sometime so deep in thought, so lost in a train of thought, that when you snap out of it, you're just like, why am I wasting time thinking about this, it's not even that serious? Yes? Well that's exactly what this post is about!
Too often in life, we waste time deliberating, weighing up, analysing, criticising, destructring, basically doing all sorts about situations which frankly don't need all of that. We dedicate so much time and mental energy to things that frankly won't matter in a few months, weeks or even days. We risk giving ourselves hypertension, depression and all other detrimental conditions by constantly dwelling on thoughts or situations that are just not that serious. Why?
I'm guilty of this myself. I'm the Analysation Queen (Nope, Analysation is not a word, Yep I'm going to use it anyway.) I can dissect the simplest thing someone says and end up getting a whole other conclusion from it. Generally I can go from point A to point Z in about 2.5 seconds and I just realised lately that it's not worth it. Half the time, I'm the only person thinking this deep and everyone else moved on a long time ago so really am I not just wasting my time?
Yes there are things you should give serious thought to, buying a house for example, picking your university degree, or other such things that change or impact your life greatly but as for the little things? Don't stress them. Consider your options, make up your mind and just do it. It really won't matter in few years time.

It's Okay To Fall Down #LifeLesson3
Hey Guys,
A good friend took me ice skating for the first time yesterday and I genuinely had an amazing time. I spent the 1st hour clinging desperately to the side of the rink but in the last 10 minutes I was skating completely unaided but still close to the side of course. Did I fall smack on my bum/face/hands/everywhere a couple of times? Yes! I did and a couple of little kids laughed at me. I don't blame them, I laughed at myself too. Did I keep bumping into people and getting evils from parents? Yes that also happened a few times more than I would have liked.
But the point is that I didn't really start to make progress until I became unafraid of falling. When falling no longer seemed that big a deal, I became more confident and took more risks. Which in turn gave me a greater chance of learning to skatw. The risk of falling is in every thing you do in life. If you try anything worth doing you stand the chance of failing at it. You might not like it but the quicker you accept it, the better for you.
It's not whether you fall or not, because most likely the chances are you will, you can't help that. What you can help is whether you get back up and try again or give up and sit on the sidelines and watch other people achieve it. Did I feel embarrassed at having a large group of people see me Hi-5 the ice a few times? You already know the answer. But the embarrassment quickly dissipated when I learnt to laugh at myself and realised actually it's OKAY to fall down. It just means I'm getting closer to the goal.
Don't let your pride be the reason why you don't achieve. Fall down as many times as you need to just make sure you get back up!

Don't take it for granted! #LifeLesson2
Hey Guys,
Yes I know, I promised it would be a 7 day special then disappeared on the 1st day! Shame on me! Maybe it won't be everyday but I will definitely get to the 7 lessons lol. On that topic, if you haven't seen topic number one, you can check it out Here:
Today's lesson is about not taking things for granted. There are things that occur everyday that we take for granted because we don't work for it or do anything to bring it about. For example breathing, getting out of bed in the morning, sleeping etc. These are things we put no effort into doing yet achieve effortlessly. Consequently we end up taking these things for granted. STOP!
When you find out you can no longer do these things is when you start to appreciate it and at this point it's too late. Recently I've been suffering a bout of insomnia and have not been able to sleep for God knows how long. I just stay awake thinking of the days when I would plop my head on the pillow and I'm gone. Take my word for it, you never know what you have until it's gone that's a fact.
So whether it be people, jobs, relationships, food or the basic things in life you have come to expect, take time out to appreciate what you have because you never know when you just might lose it.
