Back to Basics

Music Monday | The Script & Charles Trenet


Hey!
So today's songs are really a reflection of how last week was. La Mer by Charles Trenet is such a beautiful and soothing song...I can't understand a single word of it but it's such a perfect 'de stress' song I can't help but love it.
This new song; Superhero by The Script I feel is just perfect because the lyrics are so darn inspiring and mega feel good..a definite must listen for anyone who's breaching out of their comfort zone in order to go after their dreams...like me ;) and something I've learnt this week is that yeah..it's definitely scary to go after your dreams..you end up realising that some of the fears you had weren't irrational (but I've also realised that pretty much 99% of the pre nerves you have are irrational) but the good thing is that with the right mindset in place, you end up overcoming those fears. Another major thing I've learned this week is that it's okay to be scared...it's okay to be nervous...it's okay to be anxious..it's okay to be afraid and actually, all these things are perfectly normal and a lot of people are feeling/have felt the same crappy feelings as you. The trick is to not be afraid of your fears and to not let your fears control you...just because you're afraid doesn't mean you can't go after what you want. When you stop being afraid of your fears(usually by rationalising your fears especially realising the worst that could happen isn't that bad because you have the ability to deal with whatever this life throws at you) you're able to deal with your fears much better.When you learn to use your fears as motivation and you realise that pretty much everyone out there going after their dreams are crapping themselves just as much as you, your fears don't seem so bad. Also, it's okay to take a break when you feel things are getting too much to handle..just stop procrastinating..stop trying to be in two places at once..if you've got loads of work to do and all you're thinking about is watching your favourite tv show...drop the books,go watch one episode and come back to your books..sounds weird but you'll realise you'll end up spending much more time doing your work instead of procrastinating..so if you want to take a break, go take it and don't feel guilty about it.

Music Monday | Professor Green


Hey!
Can't believe it's Monday..the last couple of days have been so busy...not busy in normal terms but for my lazy self, it's been hectic but all good :). So,today's song, Lullaby by Professor Green ft Tori Kelly has been stuck in my head for quite a few weeks...beautiful song,beautiful vocals and beautiful lyrics..what more do you need in a song? I hope you enjoy it as much as I have. Like I always say, I'll try and post an outfit this week as I'm feeling quite ambitious right now but I'm very much in a sleep deprived state right now and I think I may be hallucinating a bit so don't take anything I say seriously. Anyway, it's an early goodnight from me and see you when I see you :)
Love,

Music Monday | Louis Armstrong




Hey!
Hope you're well :)
So today was the 'first' day of college...it was an induction day so technically not a proper 'first' day but in my head, I'll still count it as an official first day on the account of how much I was crapping myself about today. Anyway,to cut the story short, I was pretty darn nervous in the morning but a quick prayer,music and organisation calmed me down. I chose a La Vie en Rose cover by Louis Armstrong because I recently realised..and by I, I mean God helped me realise that Jazz type of music helps me relax as it calms me down when I'm feeling anxious and this is one of the songs that's been really helping me so I hope you enjoy :)
I'm planning to post a look this week but I'm not sure so as a wise man once said, don't hold your breath.
Anyway, it's goodnight from me and I'll see you when I'll see you.
Love,
Emily x
