Living Deliberately – Andrea Hunt

It's May

A little bit about the blog

I am a supportive motivator as a coach, and I’ve always loved being around people from all over the world. I’m a transformational life coach and happy to help you reach your goals for a richer, more fulfilling life. Likewise, I help people understand gain self-awareness so they can figure out what’s keeping them stuck, which limiting beliefs hold them back, or what emotional meets are not getting met so they can understand how to create better boundaries and standards in their relationships. In particular, I can help you when you’re at that point of saying ‘Enough!’ – I want something better!

4 Helpful Ways to Start Boosting Your Inner Confidence

Andrea also has a new programme coming up.

If you’re like many people, 2022 might not exactly feel like it’s gotten off the ground for you yet. The last few years have been hard on everyone and many people feel stuck in a constant cycle of stress, uncertainty, stagnancy &  lack of fulfilment.

  • Uncover your strengths to quiet that mean little voice that criticizes you, compares you to others, or tells you you’re not good enough.

A little bit about the blog

Claire Mac is a parenting & lifestyle blogger based in the North East of England. She has two girls, one who’s 3 and the other 8 months. Although she blogs about her parenting experience, motherhood doesn’t define her and she shows her audience how mums can be themselves as well as being somebody’s parent. Claire is an advocate for giving mum guilt the middle finger and embracing a non-judgemental view of motherhood. Her lifestyle blog covers various topics from parenting to self-love and self-care. It’s a space where readers can come back time and time again for relatability, reassurance and encouragement.

A little bit about the blog

After hitting rock bottom and realising that there was only one way to go from here, I looked for ways I could turn my life around. Positive Thinking kept showing itself to me through books, TV, conversations, and everywhere I went. I eventually took a look into it and realised that I would need to start right at the very beginning, learning positivity and unlearning negativity. My life looks very different now and I created Positive Thinking for Beginners to help others begin their journey.

AD – Introducing an amazing blogger – Sophie’s blog – Starting Today

Today I am introducing you to an amazing blogger. Sophie’s blog, Starting Today, is definitely worth a read. Grab a cup of tea and enjoy.

You will remember my advertiser’s post, where I said I was impressed by the photography on the website. I mean, these images are kind of blogger goals and where I would like to be with the images I post on my own blogs’ and social media accounts. 

amazing blogger

I wanted to pick out two of the blog posts which really resonated with me and explain why you should go and read them today!

Single Parents are not Monsters – STARTING TODAY

This post is so honest and powerful! Sophie is honest about making a difficult life decision to benefit herself and her children. And the poem is beautiful.

amazing blogger

For those of you who missed the advertiser’s post. Here are the all-important details you need to connect with Sophie.

Why I loved checking out Sophie’s blog

Please all go take a look at this blog. It is aesthetically pleasing and the images on the website are amazing. To write this post, I had a look around the site and I am impressed with what I found. Sophie covers lifestyle and photography on the blog, and you will find some amazing images scattered throughout her blog posts.

A little bit about Sophie

Sophie is a freelance photographer who looks at life philosophically. She has always been creative, but hid from her creativity for so long, afraid it was a negative aspect of her character. Now she embraces it. Her blog, Starting Today is a place where she shares her thoughts, vision, and passions. She combines photography, poetry, and writing to share her lifestyle and thoughts. Uniquely ambitious, with a zest for life, she loves to encourage others to be themselves, always.

5 amazing benefits of social media on mental health

I want to say thank you to Chloe from Nyxie’s Nook for this amazing guest post. I personally found social media to be the most amazing, supportive community following my mental breakdown and I definitely needed it. This post outlines the reasons it can be helpful for mental wellbeing.

Let’s dive in

Social media has long since been branded as hazardous to our mental and physical health. For those within a certain age bracket, it’s seen as something akin to the fall of socialisation. We constantly hear about children as young as six becoming addicted to social media, or adults missing the world around them because their nose is stuck in their phones. 

But what about the positive side of social media? If we look beyond the addiction and online trolls, social media has helped shape the 21st century into a more inclusive place to be.

For a long time, we’ve been under the assumption that asking for help is a weak or attention-seeking behaviour. But with the help of social media, we’re now much further forward in realising that speaking up about our issues is an act of strength.

5 Positive aspects of social media

Social media can be a great way to raise awareness, bring communities together and help those less fortunate. 

Before the use of the internet and social media, we all seemed so far away. America, Japan, England, Finland; We were all divided by oceans, land and borders. With the use of the internet and, in turn, social media we’re able to raise awareness for issues that would otherwise be limited by location. By using social media we can reach other, like-minded people who can help spread awareness among their own communities and so on. 

We’re better able to keep in touch with our loved ones, arrange online catch-ups and even play virtual games. 

With so much of the world in lockdown at different times and for various levels of COVID-19, many of us have become separated from our families and peers. And with the current state of things here in the UK, our isolation isn’t set to end any time soon. The internet and social media have become a way for us to socialize, catch up and even watch movies together while staying safely apart. 

Netflix has created their Netflix party to help socially distanced subscribers to watch television shows and movies together. Zoom has become the number one go-to video chatting application for social catch-ups to business meetings. Instagram, Facebook and Twitter also deserve honourable mention for helping us keep in touch and meet like-minded people who are better able to help and support us. Some of the most trusting and inspirational people I know were found via social media! 

Finally, although not specifically on social media, as an avid gamer I find the use of online resources helpful in finding gaming partners. There are various places online to connect and even chat with gamers worldwide. I’ve met so many people through my love for Animal Crossing and The Sims. I’m in various community groups online where I can chat about the games, get information, tips and advice, and even swap friend codes.

Of course, this is all done from a safe distance and, as an adult, I’m aware of the danger of meeting others online. If you have a teenager or even a child who frequently games with others online, it’s suggested that you keep an eye on their activity. Have a chat with them about online safety and take an interest in what they’re doing without being overly critical. 

Social media can be a welcome distraction from the outside world or a devastating realisation of the world around us

Social media has acted as a means for me to distract myself from the goings-on around me, but it’s also been there to remind me of the harsh realities of the world around us. Without it, I doubt I would be kept as informed as I am. I avoid the news at all costs and have long since stopped trusting state-funded news reports. So various online sources, social media included, have been my direct link to COVID-19 news,  election updates and even any new information being spread in regards to mental health services in my local area. 

In regards to acting as a distraction, by frequently visiting social media and getting to know others online, I’ve been able to build a small support network. This support network is usually biased and helps distract me just by chatting about things other than what’s on my mind.

Social media has helped to normalise help-seeking behaviour

For a long time, we’ve been under the assumption that asking for help is a weak or attention-seeking behaviour. But with the help of social media, we’re now much further forward in realising that speaking up about our issues is an act of strength. Many adults and young people are coming forward to encourage others to ask for help for things such as mental illness, grief, sexual assault etc. No longer are these things taboo, rather, we’re unified in our need to speak up! 

Social media can offer a creative outlet

Much like writing a blog or sketching in a notebook, creating social media posts can act as a creative outlet but on a much smaller scale. The likes of Instagram are especially good for displaying things such as photography and artwork, while Tik Tok is for the videographer in all of us. Others can view your work, like, share and even become inspired. But, of course, it’s not always about the number of likes and engagement you get. So long as you’re careful about how you manage your life on social media, it can be a wonderful place to find and hone your creative voice. 

What are your thoughts on social media and its impacts? Do you feel that it’s a positive, negative or a bit of both? How do you use social media and how do you protect your mental health when using it?
