Taking a step back

 

Hi lovely readers, I hope you're all doing well. I can't quite believe we are in March! I feel like this is a beautiful month as we finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel as Winter falls behind us. 

In a world where you can be anything be kind

 

Hi again fellow readers, I hope you are doing well. For this week's post I want to discuss kindness.

When you first search kindness into Google the following description comes up: 'The quality of being friendly, generous and considerate'. This quality is something I believe is very important to hold.

A promise to myself

Hello lovely readers, I hope you are doing well. I took a couple of weeks off blogging and it's honestly felt like forever. As I type away I realise just how much I've missed it. Things in my life got a little busy and I knew I had to take a little step back. Over these past few days I've taken things slower and focused more on self-care, which has helped me learn a lot. In fact, I've had a big realisation that I thought would be good to share with you all. 

The Sunshine Blogger Award

Hello fellow readers, can you believe that there is only a few days left of 2020! It's fair to say that this year has had its ups and downs but I'm happy to say I'm leaving it on a positive note, having been nominated for The Sunshine Blogger Award! 

How to make Christmas 2020 special

I think it's pretty clear that Christmas this year is going to be a little different. Whatever tier you're in or part of the UK (or even the world) you live in, things have happened this year, which will inevitably impact your normal festive traditions. 

The Power of Oracle cards

 

As humans it's inevitable that we will experience times that are uncertain and scary. These moments are when we need the most support but we can't always get that from our loved ones. The confused, panic and/or pain can be unbearable. It can feel like our body is screaming for something to ease the situation. But without people by our sides, giving words of support, how can we receive this? Have you considered messages from your guardian angels...

How to make your lockdown experience positive

For those of us in England, last Thursday marked the first day of our second lockdown. The pandemic is proving to be one of the most challenging times for many individuals. In some ways the second lockdown seems to be hitting people harder, which is why I though it would be beneficial to share how we can make our time in lockdown worthwhile.

WHY YOU SHOULD READ MORE FICTION BOOKS

 

I have always loved reading but for most of this year I only engaged with the self-help genre. I lost the need to read fiction until the past week, when after finishing work, I felt the urge to buy something imaginary.

Why I created this blog

Words are powerful and have the ability to transform someone's mood in an instant. In a world that can sometimes feel like a floating ball of negativity, I want to bring lightness into other people's lives. Whether it be to gain confidence or a better mindset, I want to use my experiences and words to help others. This is why I created 'A Meg Journey'. 

22 things I learnt at Twenty-Two

September is not only the time when we transition to Autumn but it's also my birthday. Having my special day fit perfectly alongside the seasonal change allows me to reflect on everything I have experienced, ready to make way for a better future. I thought I'd share with you the lessons I learnt this past year in the hope it can help you in some way.

How to cope with moving back in with your parents

I know for many twenty-somethings moving back into your family home, if you were lucky enough to afford to move out in the first place, is very common. For me I spent three years at university, coming home for a few weeks in summer only. I was lucky enough to get a paid internship after university, which allowed me to move out again. I became accustomed to living independently and enjoyed it, from decorating to cleaning! However, with the recent pandemic I have had to move back to my family home as my internship is ending and I don't have another job lined up. Although I have been happy to move back in so I wasn't alone in a studio for months, as my contract has come to an end this month it really hit me that I am moving back until I don't know when, something I haven't done since I was 18. I can't change the situation, so instead I have focused on how I can best adapt to my new life to enjoy this chapter.  I thought I'd share how I've managed to do things for those in a similar situation. 

Yay or Nay: New Years Resolutions

The idea of making resolutions for the new year can set off different emotions for different people. I've seen some individuals get excited to begin a new chapter while others panic about having to get their life in order.

A Sunday in Autumn

I love Sundays. It's that day of the week where we can reflex on what's just gone by and plan for the week ahead. I even felt this way when I had to spend my weekend in work. There is just some feeling you get with a Sunday, you have time to make improvements for the future.

Hi I'm Meg

I thought it would be best to start of my blog by introducing myself. I'm Megan, 22 and have recently graduated from university. Now out of education and in my first 'proper' full-time job I decided it was finally time to do what I have always wanted to do...write.
