I can't believe we're almost at the halfway point of 2024, like how quickly are these days flying by?! In terms of the second quarter of this year, for me personally, it's been alright. Now with the brighter and warmer weather ahead, I'm hoping to have more plans and make the most of any sunshine we get in the UK!
Let's have a look book at the second quarter of 2024:
Health
In regards to my health, things are very good at the moment (touch wood!). I had what is called my annual review in May, which is an appointment where the CF team go fine tooth comb every aspect of my health over the last 12 months. It also involves a lot of blood tests, samples being taken, tests like X-rays and spirometry and a lot of green tea to get through it.
I'll get the results of everything in July so I'm keeping everything crossed that everything is working like clockwork inside of me!
In regards to my mental health, it's improved vastly because of the longer days and warmer weather, it always has that effect!
Career/Blogging
I said in my last post I was quite productive with blogging so far. That fortunately has continued! I've had some really great collaborations in the last month or two, particularly this one with Origin. I'm hoping this motivation with blogging continues into the Summer!
Social
I've had a few family birthdays in this second quarter, myself included! My birthday was very quiet but I went to Cardiff with one of my close friends for a Nandos and a shopping trip. Hopefully, with the nicer weather coming, I'll be able to venture into beer gardens for catch-ups now!
Personal Development
As I said in my last post, there is always room for personal development. I've recently started a gratitude journal from Manifestation Pulse and it's really changed my perspective on things. It's been surprising and refreshing to learn even some of the smallest things I'm grateful for.
That's a summary of the second quarter of 2024!
I'd love to know how things have gone for you so far in 2024, let me know!
Amazing, you had an amazing half of the year. Next 6 months would even be more amazing.
ReplyDeleteMy first half of the year, I had my blog traffic increase from 5k monthly to 15k monthly views. Felt really good. Hopefully next 6 months will be filled with more good news 💃🏽
I hope the next six months are even more amazing too Rayo!
DeleteThat is an incredible increase in blog traffic Rayo, well done you! I hope you increase it even more in the next six months!
I love this idea of having a quarterly review of your life. Way to go with the blogging!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much!
DeleteI'm glad the second quarter was good to you! June was the busiest month for me, so I am very glad that is over now :) x
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a quieter and less busy July ahead Caroline! x
DeleteI think a gratitude journal is such a good idea. I love those flowers and that aesthetic. It is so clean and fresh and an excellent list of the look at 2024 especially for July. https://www.bauchlefashion.com/2024/07/4-dos-and-donts-for-your-big-day.html

Wishing you more enjoyable outings and celebrations as the summer progresses!

Yes true it is flying by for sure, SO only 6 months to Christmas LOL. But seriously I hope your results are good and congrats on being productive I felt like I have been productive too. The world is a bit crazy and sadly I think the next 6 months are going to get crazier with the American election coming up. Ugh.

Oh don't get me started on elections, I hate hearing about them in the media at the moment!
Sounds like you've had a fabulous second quarter. Here's hoping the third is the same! And that we get some sunshine finally!
