I decided to only post once a week in July (apart from that one time I posted twice in one day) instead of aiming for twice and I have to say, it has completely made a difference! It's been so much less pressure, knowing I have more time to prepare blog posts. I'm not the type of blogger where I have articles prepared months in advance, I'm a much more casual blogger than that. Which is 100% the reason why sometimes I only blog twice in a month, I just don't have the content. So taking the time and taking the pressure off has helped massively and I've actually been able to produce more content than usual last month. I really fell in love with blogging again.

I actually think July has been my best month so far this year! I've made an effort to hang out with a friend regularly, I've seen my family - including family I only see like once a year or less often - and I've been making my physical well being a priority. Including, finally getting on anti-depressants again. My GP gave me a two week course of Sertraline. I'm one week in and not noticing a huge difference yet but fingers crossed it helps.
Charlie turned 6 this year! He absolutely loved his party and it was so nice to see him playing with his friends.
July Goals Recap
Health Goals
- Take vitamins daily
I didn't quite take them daily but I was taking them more often than I had been previously!
- Do some form of exercise daily
Again, not daily, but I was trying to get some movement in a few days a week. Mostly dancing around my house doing housework but movement is movement!
- Quit vaping
I decided to download an app so I can keep track of how I'm doing! I lasted 3 days before I started using again. But a couple of days later, I'd overdone it and I felt really sick and just really unwell from using it too much. So, I decided to actually bin my vapes this time (rather than holding onto them just in case) and I am now 23 days vape free. Not gonna lie I am very much struggling and the only thing stopping me from buying another vape is that I truly do not have the money spare for it.
Personal Goals
- Theory Test Revision/Book Test
I decided against booking my theory test just yet, as I've checked and there's tons of availability, so I'd rather book when I feel I'm ready to pass, rather than book it and then risk not being ready by that date. I haven't really done any revision yet either, oops.
I have, however, had my first driving lesson! I absolutely loved it and my instructor is the sweetest man. He reckons I'll be test ready in three months so I really need to get a wriggle on with my theory test!
- Explore my Beliefs
Umm. Nah. I had all good intentions but it just didn't happen.
Career Goals
I did have one interview throughout July. I really did want the job but I completely tanked the interview. I was completely unprepared and I knew immediately that they weren't impressed. I still had a sliver of hope but I wasn't surprised when I got the email to say I didn't get it. So I'm still stuck in community care for the forseeable. I'm still looking though.
