IF YOU BELIEVE YOU CAN ACHIEVE ANYTHING

So it's currently 5.30am and I am on my way to work. I won't get home until 9.30pm at the earliest tonight. Sometimes I ponder my decisions in life (laughs) as I have little energy as it is and I've decided to complete another 12 hour shift. The reason I do this is because I want to be a nurse one day. I am currently studying children's nursing at university. I am trying to work in children's wards to build my experience and get a taster for what my career is going to entail. Getting used to 12 hour shifts is also a benefit as I will be doing 3/4 in a row. My choice to be a nurse wasn't something I had always dreamed of. I knew I wanted to work in healthcare somewhere but never dreamed I would be a nurse. People have told me I would be a great psychologist and I did look into it. I have heard from a few people it isn't what it's made out to be. Then I tried nursing in adult wards and knew straight away it wasn't my calling. As soon as I...

So I have had a terrible few weeks, I have had a cough for 5 weeks now and it doesn't seem to be getting better. Yesterday I was really sick and struggled to get any work done for uni. I was stressed and really upset that I couldn't even concentrate. I had to take today off uni as I could barely move or stand up without feeling dizzy and faint. I hope I will feel better soon and can start vlogging again. I hope you are all well ❤ Lots of love Lynne xxxx

So I finally plucked up the courage to record and post my first ever vlog. If you have been keeping up with my blog you'll know I was fighting with myself as I didn't feel I had the confidence to do it. I am so proud of myself for doing it and can't wait to record more. Only issue is am stuck for time just now. Vlogging requires a lot of time and I need to try make sure I allow time for it. I love sharing positivity with others so vlogging really allows me to show how much being more positive can help.

So I thought it would be fun to do some reviews on certain products that help me relax and that I enjoy. Firstly I would like to discuss my collection of essential oils. I had more but they are all finished. Need to start building up my collection again. I will start with my most favourite scent that I love so much... Women's balance by Neals Yard -  www.nealsyardremedies.com/aromatherapy/aromatherapy-oils-and-blends/essential-oil-blends/2715.html This is the most relaxing scent I have ever smelled. The bottle states "relaxing for serenity and poise". I usually put this into my essential oil diffuser which I bought on Amazon last year www.radhabeauty.com/collections/aromatherapy-massage/products/radha-aromatherapy-portable-essential-oil-diffuser. I normally put this on when I am feeling stressed or meditating. The scent is so homely and warming that it can be used just to make your home smell nice. I rate this essential oil 10/10! I rate the diffuser 7/10 ...

So I havnt blogged in a while due to various reasons. I havnt started vlogging yet and I don't think I will. I believe I can spread the word just using my blog. I had such a great day today with my mum and sister. It's my birthday tomorrow so we decided to catch up for some lunch. It was a beautiful sunny day with blue skies. We had lunch, then went to the loch to ride on a pedalo. What fun we had floating about in the sun. I also bought two new books "how the secret changed my life" my Rhonda Byrne and "The little book of mindfulness" by Dr Patrizia Collard. Both great wee finds and can't wait to read them both. I am getting prepared to start university in September. I am going to study children's nursing. I can't wait to get started and give my heart and soul to those little ones who need my help. Things are all go go go at the moment but I love the sense of feeling excited and slightly uncertain of what the next few years will hold f...

Sorry I haven't posted in a while I have been fighting with myself over wanting to do a vlog but not having the confidence. People can be so mean on social media and I think a lot of people take it too seriously. Who cares if you don't have the best camera or sound gadgets or the pretty face and body, well everyone! hence why I am debating whether to do it or not. I would love to speak to you all in a more personal way and show you things I have bought etc. I just don't have the thick skin that is needed when vlogging. If any of you vlog and can give me any tips on how to get started and how to be more confident then please share with me. Thanks Lynne xx

So I have officially passed my HNC in nursing and will be starting university in September to study children's nursing. The road was a very long one, I started the course in September 2015. I had always told myself I'd never be able to go to uni as I couldn't afford it. Then one day I just told myself I can do it. I am now a few months from starting university and I can't believe I made it through the course. There was times I wanted to give up and forget it. It has been a huge stress and weight on my shoulders for these past two years. Endless tears, tiredness, stress and no social life. I can honestly say I worked my butt off and I am so unbelievably proud of myself. The message I want to leave you with is never think you can't do something and never give up. If you have dreams chase them and don't stop until you have succeeded. Lynne xxxx
