➡️💕Can’t control the outcome? Then step back, relax and let things unfold. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Frustration, anxiety, sadness... All the emotions are flowing around but it’s important we take each day as it comes. Count your blessings each day and don’t focus on 3-6 months from now. Breathe, welcome each day with open arms and be grateful you’re here to keep fighting🦋🌈✨ after all, miracles do happen & one day, we will realise that for sure. Swipe for some cuteness😆

SELF ISOLATING FEELS➡️➡️➡️➡️ 💖I don’t know what day it is. I’m not bothered either. 🌈The outfits I wear... Are well.. interesting. 😜Dry shampoo is my bestfriend. The list could go on! Thought I’d spread some rainbow 🌈 cheer to your feed this morning even if I am feeling a little low. Happy Sunday everyone 😍 #unicornonesie🦄 #unicornWFHoutfit #unicornwho #covid_19 #coronavirusoutbreak⚠️

Today’s reminder 💕🌈👏🏼💖🌍

Hey! Are you new here? Want to get to know me more? 💞🤲 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 💞 My name is Jess Ward, I am a blogger, writer and marketer. I am also a multi award-winning Mental Health Awareness Blogger (*pinch me*!). My mission is to channel positivity through your mental health and show you that you’re not alone. I am real, honest and raw. Follow me for your daily dose of positivity! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 💞My passion for blogging began back in 2013 when I created a blog to document my life as a teenager struggling with bullying at school. At this time in my life, my blog didn’t have an ethos and it was more of a diary for me (I didn’t want anyone to find it!). ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 💞In my teenage years, I was bullied at school and I suffered from severe depression. During this time, I had a difficult time accepting my body and it made a huge impact on my health, my confidence, and my overall wellbeing. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 💞For many years of my life, I had suicidal thoughts, I experienced extreme panic attacks and at some moments, I felt trapped in my own body. Despite my own struggles, I have always radiated positivity to others. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 💞My blog evolved from a private online archive to a hub for all things positive. Follow me on my journey where I post a little bit of everything… Food, fitness, wellbeing, lifestyle and the odd spot of travel. I do not cap any of my creativity and I always try and incorporate a positive edge! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Want to know more? Comment below or DM! My blog is linked in the bio too. I post every month on there 💞 thank you for all of the continued support. It means everything to me. xxx

Thank you for holding us all together when it feels like we’re falling apart 🌈 I am forever grateful. Always have been, always will be. #covid_19 #covıd19

Wait for it (fitness tips below)🤣🌝.. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ These past few weeks, I have turned my bedroom upside down and I have adapted my training schedule to being more focused towards ‘mindful body movement’. I don’t always focus now on how much weight I lift each session or how many reps I can achieve etc... I just want to move. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Whilst I workout from home... My mantra is ‘move your body each day in a way you love. No pressure, no strict goals. Just move and release’. For me, moving my body helps my mental state. It helps me stay focused on tasks and it makes me feel incredible empowered. Once I’ve been sweating, I feel incredibly cleansed too! So it has some great perks. In all seriousness, working out mentally helps me shake off any bad vibes I might be feeling and re-aligns my focus to what is important. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Here are some ideas for you to keep active: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Remember, be mindful of how you feel each day. Some days you may be more tired and just want to stretch. There isn’t any pressure here but it does take an inch of motivation. Always remember, how incredible will you feel after moving your body? Pretty damn incredible!✨😘 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🚶🏼‍♀️WALK: We’re allowed out the house for 1 hour a day. Make the most of it. This is great cardio too. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🏃🏼‍♀️RUN: I have started my ‘COUCH TO 5K’ app and it’s an easy way of working up to 5K if you aren’t a confident runner. I’m not and I actually enjoy the running! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🧘🏼‍♀️STRETCH: I love lots of yoga videos on YouTube! The ones I use are called ‘Yoga With Adriene’. She’s great! The videos are all levels and have helped me unwind and move my body in a mindful way. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 💃🏼DANCE: put your favourite playlist on and SHAKE IT OFF! Dance, jump, wiggle... Just move. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 💦HIIT: I don’t enjoy high intensity interval training but now I’ve started @thebodycoach videos on YouTube, I’m a little bit addicted. He makes exercise SO fun and I never stop laughing throughout it. He is also doing LIVE P.E classes Mon-Fri at 9am (GMT). I always feel 10x better afterwards too. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Eek! Positive movement🌟🔥

💖💖💖💖💖💖

‘Hey Jess! How are you coping?’ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’m shaking off the bad vibes! I’m doing just fine. I’m surrounding myself with this little girl and she’s EXTREMELY positive. Today, we’re doing sweet things for my mum, doing a yoga flow, colouring in and being positive. Yesterday, we walked up and down our road shouting ‘positive vibes’ and it was magical. She’s so inspiring and I adore her. If this makes you smile, please let me know. We hope we’ve cheered you up at least a tiny bit! We are both sending you a giant self distancing hug💕✨💖🌈☀️ #socialdistancing #selfisolation #covid_19 #covıd19 #covid_19😷

Happy Saturday everyone! Spreading the positivity today and sending this to the people who follow me💖 TODAY! I am going on Instagram live for the first time. Stay tuned. I will be showing my face and answering Q’s or just having a general chit chat with you all. Or if I’m on my own, I’m on my own! It’s all good experience either way😘💕

READ THIS 🙏📿 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We are not here to fix, change or belittle another person. We are here to support, forgive and heal one another. You don't need a new life, just a new lens through which to view the one you have. - Marianne Williamson 🙏📿 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I am thinking I may use this time to do my FIRST EVER IG LIVE! What do you think?💕😘 would you like me to? I would love to get your opinions. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I love posting on my stories but it would be great to connect with you all via my LIVE feature. I was thinking of discussing my skincare routine, my anxiety top tips and just have a general chit chat with you all✨🤗 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I know a lot of people are making use of the Instagram Live feature at the moment but if it is of ANY interest to you, please let me know. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Let’s remain connected, please. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Sending so much love, as always💖💕

I promise⤵️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Yesterday, I had a little panic cry. It was a moment of release but it was also a moment of sheer panic for the world. I’m an empathic person and can easily be affected but external factors. However, from this moment forward, I need to remain calm, brave and strong. After all, these are the emotions that help us get through things✨ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ In any challenging or difficult situation, it’s important to put your health and mental health first. So if you don’t feel like doing an intense workout... Don’t. If you don’t feel like tackling your to-do list straight away today... Don’t. Do what feels right in this moment of NOW💕 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ You will be guided, I truly promise. Let’s stick together. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I hope my page and blog provide some positivity and colour during these dark days we are experiencing✨🙏🥰 sending a giant social distancing hug to anyone who needs it right now! I know I could do with one 🤗

In troubling times like this, all we can do is be grateful, support one another, focus on the positives and ensure we are doing all we can to stay safe 🌎💞🤲 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Every day, I truly remind myself of the things I am grateful for. Sometimes this can be a little difficult if I am feeling overwhelmed with work, my relationship or even with the situation our climate is in right now. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I try and bring myself back to 'the now' and focus on what is going on 'right now'. I go through my gratitude either when I am out on a walk, cooking my breakfast in the morning, I write it in a diary or I do it before bed in my mind. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Here are a few that spring to mind now✨ 🌎I am grateful I am loved 🌎I am grateful I have a home to retreat to 🌎I am grateful I can move my body 🌎I am grateful I have my pets, they're healing souls! 🌎I am grateful I have my niece, she gives the best cuddles ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The list could go on! Remind yourself of the things you're grateful for today. It puts things into perspective and gives you some well-deserved switch-off time. It's essential in the chaos we are currently living in. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I am sending love, light and anxiety-relieving thoughts to anyone who needs it right now. This too shall pass 🤲 remain as positive as you can, remember to switch off and unwind and also, keep yourself safe.
