Things I Learned in 2014
29.12.14
So 2014 is nearly at an end- where did the year go?! For me, it's been a year of ups and downs, first and lasts, new and old. I've learned much more about myself then I ever thought, and made some pretty big decisions!
Whilst I'm in reflective mode, here's what I learned in 2014.
Trust your gut. There were times this year when I didn't listen to it...and I should!
It's okay not to finish everything. Thanks to Arianna Huffington and The Third Metric for reinforcing this point.
Mix it up. This year I visited two different cities instead of returning to my usual haunts. It was liberating!
Get those investment pieces. One is on its way to me as I write. The other? A glorious new bed.
Take care of yourself. Get your hair cut regularly, look after your skin and WORK OUT.
Earbuds in every bag. You'll never know when you'll need them.
Some people will let you down. And it's fine- move on to better things (and people!)
Support those that really matter. You'll then find out who your true friends are.
Do what you love. Writing, photography, art, whatever. Do what makes you happy.
Try to stress less and not take everything personally. I'm still working on this one.
What have you learned in 2014? Tell me in the comments or on Twitter.

Top Tips for Sweet Dreams

Above anything, I am a girl that needs sleep. I could sleep for 12 hours if I needed too (and this has been known to happen!) I always get a little irritated when people say sleeping your life away is bad- it's not. Studies show that people who have a lack of sleep are prone to get ill, perform not at their best, and general lack of snooze time is detrimental in all areas of a person's life.
Huffington herself collapsed from a lack of sleep, and it was this moment that told her she needed to change her habits. She increased her sleep to at least 8 hours a night (whereas I find 9 helps me perform better.) She also offered up the following top tips for getting some great shut-eye:
Charge your devices away from your bed- this way you will be less tempted to check them if you wake up during the night.
No smart devices before bedtime- sure reading a book on a Kindle or an iPad is great, but does it beat the real thing? The light that illuminates the screens on our smart devices stimulates the brain, thinking that it is work time. Turn them off (or purchase glasses that cut out the light,) will definitely help you sleep better.
Use calming sprays- choose a delicate and relaxing scent like lavender to help you sleep better. I sprinkle a few drops of lavender oil on a tissue and place it under my pillow- it works a treat!
Be dark- make sure your blinds or curtains completely submerge the room into darkness. Also use an eye mask to help block out any other unwelcome light sources (blinking televisions I'm looking at you.)
Try meditation- this will really help you relax. When you wake up, Huffington suggests taking just one minute to breathe and ease yourself into the day.
No sound- what really works for me is wearing ear plugs. Get bright coloured ones so you can find them if they fall out!

The Third Metric

With the on-going debate over Sheryl Sandberg's Lean In manifesto, I was interested to hear about The Third Metric conference taking place in New York earlier this week.
Hosted by two of my inspirations, Mika Brzezinski and Arianna Huffington, I was disappointed that I wasn't able to attend, but nevertheless enjoyed digesting the coverage of Thursday's conference.
The Third Metric aims to redefine success beyond the two traditional measures of money and power, tackling issues around health, well-being and the American workplace by proposing a new metric of success focused upon personal passion, fulfilment and life balance.
A number of influencers, intellectuals and corporate leaders spoke at the conference, which also hosted contributions from Valerie Jarrett, Jill Abramson, Senator Claire McCaskill and Katie Couric.
I'm really excited about how I can implement the Third Metric into my own life- watch this space!
