​Day 4 #7DaysOfSelfLove challenge with @iammelwells

‘Treat yo-self’

REDEFINING what you consider to be a “treat”
A treat for me has always been something sweet! 

Thanks to @louiseavilesyoga (my yoga teacher & healthcoach) and the amazing work I have been doing with her, I am no longer owned by sugar! Yasss! 👏
My initial thought to treat myself was with flowers but then I thought, yeah, that’s nice but I by flowers often so it didn’t seem like a massive treat! 

So then I remembered I needed some new mascara! I’m not one that always feels the need to wear makeup, i wear it because It makes me look more awake (thanks ms) 

I know to some buying new mascara wouldn’t be classed as a treat but, I’ve always bought cheaper products & gasped when seeing the price of the branded products!
Not today! Nope, I treated myself to some new proper decent mascara that you can actually tell I’m wearing!

Walking past the tulips I  grabbed the prettiest ones because I deserve those as well!
*ALSO VERY PLEASED TO SAY NO FILTERS HAVE BEEN USED AND I TOOK THE ‘BEAUTY’ OPTION OFF BEFORE TAKING THE PICTURE AS WELL!*
Very happy! 🌷👑👸

​Day 3 #7daysofselflove challenge;
I love my body because…

She accepts the medication I have to have every 28 days, to keep my Multiple Sclerosis at bay! 
I love my body because…

She lets me do all these amazing things in the photos where I have raised money for different MS charities I support
I love my body because…

She accepts all the hard work I put her through and she doesn’t let me down!
I love my body because…

She’s where my beautiful soul lives

Day 2 of Mel Wells 7 day self love challenge

​Day 2 #7daysofselflove challenge with @iammelwells is to share something that your proud of. ♿This video says it all to me! 😂😂😂

I’m proud of the strong person I’ve become since being diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis 6.5 years ago! 

I’ve worked so hard to get to where I am to accept this disease, I wouldn’t have believed I was the same person 3-4 years ago!
Now I do my best to embrace what ever challenge comes my way, including what u see in this video! 

Needing the use of a wheelchair when out for long periods. 

This has been a hard thing to accept recently, because I know how heavy I am to be pushed, and hate the thought of people having to do it! 

When were in Barcelona last year, I was in my wheelchair every day! If I hadn’t I wouldn’t have enjoyed  visiting incredible sites like the Olympic Stadium (Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys)
Of course I’d have missed out on this great fun too! Taking the wrong route on the way back from the Stadium!

Embrace every moment of life! 

Be proud!

Day 1 of Mel Wells 7 day self love challenge

Ok so, its the first day of the #7daysofselflove with Mel Wells 

Today’s challenge is to share one thing that you love about yourself!
Before my MS diagnosis, I was in a really confident state of mind and felt comfortable saying “I love every part of my being”

Since then I’ve always felt uncomfortable saying I love any part of myself other than my smile and my soul! 
I understand that it’s okay to have self appreciation and self love, as I have been in that place before, but i find it hard now, 7 years later, to accept the change in myself, in my figure. 
The other hard thing for me today is to share this about myself so publicly!

I hate the thought of anyone feeling sad for me, so things like this I would rather keep between myself and close friends! 

*this is not a pity post, this is my journey to self love*
I’m always up for a challenge though, to prove to myself that I’m working on being a better version of myself! 
The other thing you will notice is there is no picture of me, just my very raw, messy handwriting! 

The picture is from one of my actions I had to do for my health coach session with Louise.

‘Write a letter from your future self’ 

I hope it will all make sense when you read it/if you can read it! 
I didn’t want to re-write it and pretty it up because, that just wouldn’t be the right thing to do!

Picture is my own, words are my own

 

Failed by National Health Service

​Reminder to myself and every other person who like me suffers from mental illness! 

This week I had my monthly Tysabri infusion, not the nicest of things to have to go through but because we are warriors, everyone of us does our best to make it a light hearted day.

This month was the worst each of us in the group has ever experienced though! 

I will be sharing what happened at the hospital on my blog as soon as I have got my head around it. 

To say that we go to hospitals fir treatment and put all our faith in the staff there, the drs, nurses and others, to look after us. 

But what do you do if the system fails you!? What if someone’s bad day becomes your problem because they couldn’t handle it quietly to themselves. 

What if the man inserting the cannula into your veins doesn’t back off when you ask him to because on the 9th attempt he still hadn’t done it.

What if you can’t cope with all of this because of things that have happened in your past.

What if all of this exasperates your MS.
What do you do then?

MS messed with the wrong girl

​My post-fight klub picture with my DebbieRahRah to the left & Laura to the right! 

Amazing, hot, sweaty class last night! 

*tank top reads “MS messed with the wrong girl* HA! Didn’t it just! 

​Stop beating yourself up, you are a work in progress; which means you get there a little at a time, not all at once!
Just a little reminder that there will always bumps along the way and its ok, accept it, own it and move on!
