Inspired by @paulienuh as always I've decided to start a monthly review of all the happenings in my life (finalllllly... lol jk). Even if no one gives AF about this, reflecting is saa good for the olde mental health & I can't commit to doing it daily, so why not?
Highlights
Completing a full week of user research fundamentals training in Newcastle. I’m now a UR queen 👑💁♀️
I got better at skiing ⛷
I was asked to help an amazing start up with their user research as I seem like someone with "good project management skills" 😏
Starting to volunteer for Refugees at Home
Getting more sign ups to my e-newsletter yasssss 📝
My first performance review at work went SUPER well 🏆
Visiting my best friend in Italy who’s studying a masters in cognitive neuroscience 🧠 she’s so clever 💓
Celebrating my gorgeous boyfriend’s 24th 🕺🏼
Lowlights (is lowlights a word? the rubbish bits)
Not managing to finish my guest blog post for cyberscanner as quickly as I’d have liked to
Communication problems leading to misunderstandings ☹️
Travelling over 5000 miles WITHIN the uk, where’s the ☀️ at?
I thought I would be publishing my first reading list/newsletter this month but tooooo much has happened. I wasn’t thinking of just posting it anyways, but I want it to be good, so I’ll wait 🤷♀️
Gainz
32kg bench press 🏋️♀️
I went for several runs (ok only for like 10 mins each, chill bish) but I DON'T RUN, so this is progress right?
Hello back bends 👇 (yes my shoulder mobility is shit)
Started gymming BEFORE work 😴
Goals for April
SAVE SOME MONEY
Meditate.every.day 🧘🏻♀️
Working on improving my confidence when it comes to backing myself in sticky situations 💦 (anyone have any tips for this??)
Move into London, can’t hack the commute anymore peeps 🚂
Quote of the month
“Past behaviour is the best predictor of future behaviour” 🤔 food for thought? I’d say so. Using this to compete against my past, inconsistent gym going, self 💪🏻
