Mind Over Matter

Hey guys

I hope you are all keeping warm as we start to approach Winter.

The last few months have been incredibly hectic and I have had to make some big decisions, not always easy decisions. The biggest decision that I had to make was one that I made toward the end of last year when I decided to move back in with my parents. The reason for me moving back was because living on my own was causing some stress for me financially and emotionally. I have always been the kind of person who has been quite shy, and find it difficult to make friends because I don’t drink, so therefore I generally stay away from bars and clubs, this makes it very difficult to meet new people. When I was living with my parents, I didn’t think about how much it affected me, because I was still surrounded by people… my parents, and so therefore I was not alone. When I moved out I realised just how alone I actually was, therefore I decided the only option I really had was to move home, because I was also struggling financially so I really didn’t have any other option.

Now this is not meant to be a sad post or anything, I just wanted to give you a little insight into what got me into the situation. You know the saying “Mind Over Matter”, well my dad always used to use that phrase and I always believed in it, but not as much as I do now that I had to move back into my parents house. A lot of people that are in my situation would look at it as a step backwards, but after a while I realised that it is actually a huge step forwards, because moving back in with my parents allows for me to start being financially prepared again, and also work on my social life.

So for the next few months I really tried my hardest to make friends and I did, not a lot but I made two really good friends, and I feel like that was a huge accomplishment. I also started to get financially ready… took me a couple of months but I finally reached my goals and I owe it all to “Mind Over Matter”. The reason I say that is because when you set a goal and you truly believe that that goal will happen then it will. So with a little trust and belief in the future I have finally moved back into my apartment.

This time I feel less stressed financially and socially and I am actually enjoying it a lot more. I also got a new job working for my parents, I have been working for them for about a month now. This has been a huge adjustment for me, because I have been working in the sports industry for years, and now I am in the finance industry, but I am loving every single minute of my new adventure and I will tell you all about it in my next blog post.

Thank you for reading my post, I hope you loved it and I hope you think the right thoughts and all of your goals and dreams come true for you.

Bye xx
