Summer 2016

So I know summer officially begins the 30th of June but since there is no seasonal change in the tropics ( I live in Jamaica) my summer begins whenever my school year ends. This year I have an extended summer holiday because school ended May 10.

I have so much planned for my summer but a lot of times I get distracted. Here's a list of things I've been doing.

1. Discovering new tv shows or series

 I start from season one watching episode after episode because they are so addictive, you just want to know what will happen next. I will not suggest the series I'm watching now because I although it is interesting there are many things that I don't like about it. However these ones are really good.







2. Exercising


I'm doing this to get my body toned and also because it's fun and I feel so good afterwards. I workout from home with no equipment with Fitness Blender at least 5 days each week. My core is my main focus but I ensure that I incorporate cardio and do some lower body workout too.




3. Learning a new language

I am in love with nature and I really enjoy traveling to discover new places. Having a second language would be very helpful with that so I'm teaching myself Spanish. I studied at the high school level but I wasn't very interested so I'm starting over now with Duolingo. It's a really great website and if you would like to learn a new language free where it is fun and interactive. This is a great site to visit and there's also the mobile app.

 

Summer Project

 I also have another important thing to do, I want to write a book this summer. I love writing, that thrill I get from creating an interesting plot is calming.I don't want it to be an average book though so I'll have to improve my writing skills and take a page from other writer's book (no pun intended) by reading more. I'm very excited to star this summer project. Hopefully it will become a reality. I'll be sure to share my progress and maybe an extract from the book with you.

Have a great day.

Easy Road to Success/Happiness

Today I realized how the accomplishment of a simple goal can make you feel so wonderful. It doesn't have to be something major as long as it is something you have been wanting to do for a while and for some reason you just kept putting it off. When you finally muster the strength to go and cross that thing off your list you get a sense of relief and happiness. Well, that's what happened to me and I'm 90% sure it will happen to you too. Currently I'm attending University and I'm not working but I always love saving which I usually do out of my weekly allowance. But I find myself not being able to keep my savings for more than 3weeks then it's all gone. I knew that I want my saving to be long term so today I went to the bank and deposited a half of my allowance. It felt so good; and I thought, what if everyday I did something like this, crossing something off my to do list. Eventually, I'll be so in love with this feeling and want to keep accomplishing.
