The30footjourney

Hey Readers, So I have a small issue it could be a big issue whatever way you all look at it and if any of you would like to comment on this post about how you can help me it would be much appreciated.  So my issue is CONFLICT I dont know why but I can not deal with it. When i am angry with someone It will usually take me 3 to 4 days to get up the courage to say something. Am I a people person? Or am i just too empathetic? why is it so difficult?  When someone tells me that they have a problem with me Or the WE NEED TO TALK it has me running for the hills! I can usually think of stupid things to say but right now i have got nothing im stumped.  I will give you an example of how bad it is:  So i can debate with my parents maybe argue with them a little bit but as soon as its over I get so upset that it brings me to tears. If Someone tells me they have a problem with me for a few nights I can not sleep because i keep thinking what is wrong wi...

So I signed up a month ago to volunteer for a Drop-in centre/ community centre Called Wayside. This amazing phenomenal place helps visitors who are either homeless or recently housed and help them to get back on their feet.  So as I said earlier on that my mum was a Volunteer and I have always admired her for it (but please don't tell her that she might get emotional) she now Volunteers for charities that help the homeless. So I used to Volunteer for a local non for profit nursery and preschool. To me, it was a no-brainer helping these little ones and seeing their faces always put a smile on my faces. I guess it is in the genes. Volunteering is something that I recommend everyone should do whether it be volunteering at an animal shelter or going to an old person's home, or going and volunteering at a youth centre it doesn't matter. It helps you find gratitude and it keeps you humble. And people actually respect you much more for it. 

As I mentioned before I am a Gym nut, I love the gym, I get excited, it's my happy place but also my temple.  Someone recently told me why don't you meditate and my answer was no I can't sit still there is always one person in the class that can't, and if I meditated that would be me. Which is true the thing is, is that the gym is my meditation, it is also my medicine and my temple.  So do not follow this but this is my gym schedule!!!  Monday rest/mobility at home  Tuesday 2 hours at the gym x fit and Muay Thai  wednesday 3 hours at the gym 2 hours of Muay Thai and 1 hour of boxing  Thursday 2 hours at the gym x fit and Muay Thai  friday 2 hours at the gym muay Thai and boxing  saturday rest day  Sunday (will be dance) but for now it is a rest day  this is my schedule at the gym it's tough it's not simple but I would not recommend trying this at home!

Not all questions need answers. there can not be an answer for everything yet we are always searching for it! WHY???? Why do we search for things when we don't need to, Do we really need to ask questions over and over again in order to find an answer?  Not all questions need to be answered, How many answers do we need to know until we stop and live a little from mundane answers as Siri should I dye my hair pink? to other questions such as Is your Partner cheating on you? to what is the meaning of life? do we need to open that can of worms? do we need to know everything so that our brains can go to mars and we can be better than the person beside us?  My Answer is a capital NO!!!!! We do not need to know I am being brutal here but you will never be happy knowing all the answers people will judge you, and that is wrong on all levels. It leads to being competitive If I know this answer and my buddy beside me doesn't and I rub it in their face I am not being a good friend t...

Hey  Have you ever thought about something you thought that was impossible and then went and did it anyway?  Let's talk about relationships for a minute  So I have never been in a relationship, but that doesn't bother me it used to but not anymore. I try to stay away from that rat race, I think its hard enough being a human and sometimes chaotic that doesn't mean that I am not open-minded and when I am ready I will find someone but for now I am in a relationship with my Muay Thai gloves my deadlift bar and my boxing mitts and I am happy. I am probably the most open-minded person that there is because growing up learning not to judge people but also my mum was very good because she used to volunteer for a charity for aids and I used to go with her to things when I was very little it gave me an education that I could not get from books. Meaning that you could tell me most things and a majority of it I would be unphased by it and highly entertained for hours....

Hey readers  So have you ever compared yourself to someone or put someone else that want you on a pedestal? Have you ever envied them so much and thought they are so cool why can I not be like them? competition in this day and age has gotten UGLY/Hasslick (I am learning German at the moment or trying) everyone is trying to beat one another, it is cut throat but it doesn't have to be it is our minds playing tricks on us I reckon. So females I am one but I reckon guys as well are competitive but for different reasons! for females, a big part of a competition is about body image same for males but for females, it is more ugly I will use dance and Muay Thai or x fit as an example of this when we look in the mirror we want to be perfect we see another woman with bigger boobs or she has a flatter stomach and we subconsciously think I want what she has. we don't have the body confidence to say well my body is perfect for me. I feel like for some males and some of my male friend...

So readers  So many people with ADHD I don't know how many though have a combined diagnosis which means that they are usually combined with a learning disability and a mental health issue or just one or the other. So for me and my ADHD mine was linked with mild anxiety ( I don't know how they can categorise it but they have).  Anyway So each day I take it as it comes, some days can be amazing and make me really happy and other days just like with everyone else I can feel sad because I am a human being and like most, we feel emotions. I take medication for my ADHD now I have to explain this because for different types of ADHD there are different types of medications not everyone takes Ritalin because not everyone needs it. I take a slow release (12 hours) drug called Concerta It means that I take it once in the morning and then I can forget about it for the rest of the day. I sometimes forget to take my medication ..... Whoopsies that when I can become quite for...

Hey readers  I understand that life for many can be tough and I understand that when you feel like your world is crashing down before your eyes or you are going through a difficult situation it can be a challenge to see a positive or remain positive I get it I have been through it.  So as you know there are positive emotions and negative emotions and most people will feel certain emotions at different times when they experience different situations and that is ok. Why I choose to be happy is because I can't live my best life when I feel sad or emotional and life is too short to be miserable.  So I feel that the environment that we put ourselves in and the people we surround ourselves with can be more important than what we had for breakfast and what the gossip magazines said. If we surround ourselves with positive people and do the stuff that we want to do but also what we have to do then we have no other choice to be happy.  Growing Up for me wa...

As I am a 23-year old I still sometimes get influenced by others!  Today I was thinking about how amazing it would be if we were all content in ourselves to be able to have a life free of judgement. Why is it that people in there twenties and teens have such low self-esteem? how come as a teenager it is NOT Ok to not fit in but in reality when we come head first legs last into the world its ok to be different. As Teens and children if our friends have the latest video game or makeup sample we rush to get it then if we don't have it whatever that might be then we are made to feel Different. To be different is AWESOME (SUPER) to have another language or something that unique is cool and we should be proud of it! the life we lead today should be different it's too boring to be the same it's too easy to copy our friends when really we should be embracing our uniqueness and looking after ourselves and giving ourselves a confidence boost we should not have to rely on other...

Hey readers  So I strongly believe that in order to succeed we have to fail and fail hard and fail often, I use failure as a positive now ( i used to use failure as a negative). So I believe that there are two types of people in this world or maybe 3 types of people depends on which way you look at it!  The first type is the scared of failure the ones that if something bad happens and they fail they think that their world is going to come crashing down before them.  the 2nd type is the people that are ok with failure, they don't really like it but they don't dislike it either. the third and final one which the rare one is the types of people that use failure as motivation to succeed they don't think of it as bad or brutal that a majority of us do but as a positive.  Recently I have gone into category three but before that, i would have personally gone into category 1 which to me now looking back on it feels stupid! anyway so now I use it as a motivat...

So readers  well at least I hope I have some readers 😩 So now is the big question are you living your best life? or are you living your life in the shadow of somebody else's? or are you just existing and not living? So my next question which is usually what most people have heard is "are you happy with the life you are living?" if you like me have been to a psychologist that question would usually be asked in the 1st session of any counselling session and then they will say so tell me about it!  Well, my goal is to meet you I am not a counsellor or a psychologist, I am not here to judge, I am just a 23-year-old woman who is a human being just like you and to be honest I think that social media degrades people or gives people a false sense of hope.  right here is my beef with the likes of Instagram, Facebook and Snapchat I do not have an issue with the things people put on social media although my beef with social media is that you only see the best of anyon...

Hey Readers So as you can read from the post title I am a Gym nut now this is not for beauty or how many followers I can get for my Instagram! this is for me when I go to the gym it is my time shared with others but it is also about my time spent with me looking after my goals. When I go to the gym I go to improve my baby that is MUAY THAI yes you heard that correctly I train in Thai martial arts/ boxing and have almost been doing this sport for 9 years I also do x fit, boxing and will be back to dance soon 😃 so as you can imagine my workout schedule /training schedule is quite full on but I love it. I go 4 days a week to the gym I do 9 sessions per week basically I fit a 7-day training schedule into a 4 day week now I am not saying that this is for everyone but for me it works. Also when I started Muay Thai I started with 1 half an hour session a week! My point is, is that exercise and moving our butts off the couch and moving is probably the best medicine we can give ou...

So reader or readers  let's go back to what we came here for which is the 30-foot journey!  So the 30-foot journey is about us all reaching goals for 2018, whether you are like me and are constantly sidetracked and feel like you are stuck in a glass elevator or on a screen too much of the day OR you feel uncomfortable moving forward then this what was made for you because we are going to do it together!  We are all going to do this together whether it be something crazy which girls and boys men and woman I am all in like a chicken wing crazy is my style anything that is not harmful or illegal and planned I am a big planner and if star signs  are your thing I am a Virgo  oh right back to the 3o - foot journey (see how easy that was for me to get sidetracked)  So the 30- foot journey is, in essence, planning ahead goals that you can do in 1 month basically you choose a month that has 30 days to it and you pick a goal you would like to achieve by...

so 2018 ..... Let the games begin!!!! So this year like I mentioned in my first post that I have 3 New years resolutions also a fact I probably won't call them this I will probably just call them my goals. so I have 3 goals which as the year goes on I probably will have different goals because knowing me I will have a list the size of Kathmandu by the end of the year! Also this year I had a couple of things on my to-do list to tick off as most of us do, time to dust the cobwebs so to speak I call this to do list my yearly goal list so if you are following I have 3 lists my to-do list which keeps growing by the second and my new years resolution list with my 3 goals on them and then just my general to do list for everyday stuff that I need to do or have to do (basically the BORING list but we won't talk about that one just yet now will we)  So on, the yearly to-do list I had the most important things to get done eg: find a job, get drivers license, save for a car, go back t...

  My Story ....... (could be interesting or could be boring)  there are funny parts, there are sad parts, there are crazy parts and then there are just some good old normal parts (well my normal anyway)  So I come from a traditional Irish family I am first generation Australian and a Millenial  (basically in English that means that I go back and forth from Ireland and Australia and I am 23 years old)  So Like in my 1st post I said that I have ADHD I also have Lupus Nephritis and Scoliosis as you will learn is that I am an Open book meaning that If I am completely honest I will be upfront and tell you like it is!  When I was 14 years old and formally diagnosed with ADHD I didn't want a bar of it I didn't want to be labelled because as a teenager I thought standing out from the crowd was tougher then being the same as everyone else little did I know that after all the bs of teenagerhood It didn't matter after high school b...

Hey everyone  Welcome/Willkommen To my 30-foot journey  The Beginning  so this the beginning of 2018 and for me so far it has been going great like all of us I set myself  New Years Resolutions at the beginning of this year but instead of making them completely impossible I made them easy they are the same ones I make each year since I have finished High school almost 6 years ago!!!!  my 3 new years Resolutions are  1. to learn a new skill  2. to overcome a fear  3. to get outside of my comfort zone both physically and mentally  I keep them to three and I have learnt from my 23 years to keep them objective and generally based than to make them subjective and intimately based or restrictive! so I will give you some background for my readers as to who I am I will keep this short and sweet :)  So my name is Eimear and I am 23 years old, I have ADHD this a neurological condition which affects the prefrontal cortex of the brai...
