15 things I learnt in 2015...

Happy New Year everyone! I hope your hangovers aren't as bad as Mr. B's! 
New Years eves a funny old day and always gets me thinking about the year we're leaving behind.  So here's a quick thought on the things I learnt in 2015.

1. Drink plenty of water.
How borings that for an opener? But it's so true! I've been drinking at least 2 litres a day, my skin has improved, my hangovers aren't as bad - the list of positives is endless!

2. Sort it out.
All your junk, sort through, declutter, gift things, sell things or throw things. Once it's sorted life will seem clearer.

3. It's not as bad as you think.
I'm a think the worst, it can only get better type girl and I must admit - it usually works in my favour.

4. If you want something, go after it.
Never take your eye off the ball, never stop searching and pull out all the stops to go after it.

5. Don't keep your head in the sand.
If you've a problem, face it up - it can and will be sorted. Ask for help if you need it. Life will be so much better afterwards I promise.

6. Pay off debt.
It may be hard, but it'll be liberating when it's done.

7. Write stuff down.
Whichever form you choose, it's a great release and works wonders for the soul.

8. Always stay postive.
You'll be amazed how it can influence a situation. Go on, give it a try!

9. Stay close to your family.
Speak often, love much and just make the most of now with each and every one of them.

10. Be the friend you'd like to have.
Cherish and nurture your friendships, love  and laugh lots with them. Show your friends what they mean to you and don't waste time and energy on people who just aren't worth it. 

11. It's ok to have a pj day.
And watch friends or only fools and horses repeats. Take some time for yourself and relish in it.

12. Light a candle.
Not only will it make the room smell nice, it'll lift your spirits too.

13. Once it's done it's done.
There really is no point crying over spilt milk. It's done, you can never move forward all the time you're looking back.

14. It's ok to feel sad.
It's ok to have a cry, it's ok to feel a bit down. It'll pass, don't suppress it, it just makes it worse.

15. Don't save things for best.
Not this years lesson, but an important one all the same! Don't save perfume, clothes for a special night out. Don't save the good candles or crockery for a special occasion. You're alive today and that is special.

So, here's to 2016!
TTFN, Sammy xx
