Good morning everyone and welcome to my next Midweek Wednesday blog. Hope your all having an awesome week.
This week I want to talk about my motivations and where and how I get my inspiration to keep moving forward with my business and life.
When I moved house and you go through viewing houses etc, I decided if I was moving to the beautiful Wales that I not only needed a house that could give us space as a family an office space for my business but it needed to have a good view and a decent sized garden for Ruby.
I also took on board the vibrations I got from Ruby when we viewed a house as she needed to be happy with the house as well.
There were houses we viewed and she just didn't seem to be excited about them, other houses she was jumping round saying 'mummy I love it' but there wasn't the space I needed.
Eventually I found the house I wanted plenty of space, big garden and the views for miles it was brilliant, ruby loved it and was running round the garden (with owners permission) so I knew she was happy as well.
(Picture above shows how happy she can be)
So that's the house I bought and have been in for nearly 3 years now.
This house got me excited, lite the flame within to go let's do this, let's finally get my plans into action and let's go.
With this whole process above I took a massive risk as I'd never left Wiltshire and moved away so I knew it was going to be a challenge but with my determination and strive for wanting to give Ruby the best life I could I needed to make sure I didn't let myself down.
So in December 2020 I moved across into Wales and life began it's new chapter.
The biggest motivation for me on this journey was I wanted to continue to make my parents proud and make a decent home and life for Ruby in New surroundings and I wanted to do it before she started school.
So in the new house and setting up my home I wanted to give myself a new look on things and continue to inspire myself to move forward.
With my new home I had the space to build an office area which meant I could then get on with business research and getting to know the local areas and business over here as well. It was amazing so in the first 4 months of the year I started focused on what I aiming for and kept my motivation up by watching Ruby grow and change and being happier.
After a routine visit to the Dr's for tonsillitis in March 2023 i got told i had some Health Issues going on that i was unaware of. These Health Issues caught me totally off guard as these are linked back to my mum and the female line above her. I was no longer caring for my friend either so this is where i needed to put all my research into practise and start living for me again working on myself for a few months. In May 2023 I launched this business and I haven't looked back once.
So when I sit in the mornings looking across the view I have with my coffee I truly feel at peace and like I belong for the first time in about 10 years. This view is what keeps me going from strength to strength and also gives me my fabulous ideas that I can then action within my business.
Some people may find writing journals helps, meditation works, being out in nature.
But for me it's the peace I find looking out over my views with music playing sometimes and sometimes just no noise at all.
However you find your inspiration make sure you try and do a bit of it each day and keep your eye on what motivates you as well.
I have been doing this for the last few months and it's truly working for me, so when you find something that makes you happy and at peace why change it?
Why not spend some time today to find out what motivates and inspires you and just go for it.
Have an awesome week and I'll be back next week with my next installment of Maria's Midweek Wednesday Blog.
Always remember you're stronger than you believe
