  • Future Directions

    If you’ve been following my blog (or even seen some posts) you might have understood that I HATE being out of work.

    Aside from lack of income, the main issue was lack of direction. Lack of objective. Most mornings, I’d wake, and think “there’s no reason for me to get out of bed”.

    So, both wishing to make others’ who are in my position’s life’s easier (grammar?), along with something to actually do, I started this blog.

    As well, it has clarified where my priorities are. What I find important. What makes me, me.

    The amount of tumult in spells of posting frequently, to nothing for weeks, helped me realise that this is perhaps, more of a recreation activity.

    BUT…..

  • High heels

    After several years of personal training, I can FINALLY walk. Always one to exceed expectations, I passed on all this hard work, recovering from a brain injury and learning to walk again. To deliver this information about how I did it, I performed a speech…. In high heels (see below).

    There was parts about when enduring this condition, you have a loss of identity. This is unfortunate because your identity is made up of memories.

    Few people can choose a product that describes their identity. But I could….. high heels.

    Both aesthetic reasons, and psychological ones too. They change your figure, push your shoulders back so enhances your figure, and they’re a great complement to most outfits. But psychologically;

    They attract attention, confidence, make me feel sexy and dominant and powerful.

    For most of human history, there has been a power shift: men have a better pay while women are “home makers”.

    With equal pay introduced, more flat shoes have been worn. I call for a switch-a-rol. Women to be the dominant sex, through heels.

  • Motivational speach

    This picture can embellish “passion for fashion”.

    After going to the gym most days, ever overstepping the limits, not only did I learn to walk using @neurophysio work out route, I presented a lecture at @SHIF in my high heels (seen below).

  • Exercising

    So I can’t really read this but here is the handwritten plan for my workouts at the gym…. all with what I proposed to get me walking in the heels. I’ll go into more detail about what’s included in a future post, but in short it is;

    Warm up : crosstrainer 5 minutes followeds

    5 minutes backwards

    Matt work: stretching hips, reverse squats from kneeling with kettlebell

    Smith machine: squat & arms (more detail in future posts)

    Stretching

    Row machine L5

    I can’t read the rest but shall divulge in future posts

  • USPs

    So far a while, I put my blog in my routine. I was diligent on posting every day. To build a routine including it, being a way to help me get through my brain injury; a certain time endocrined in my routine. That’s how our brains work; having a time that you are meant to do certain things.

    Don’t you remember in school you had a time for a certain class.

    My blog became less important as other things gained more of my attention, but i want to return to blogging more often as it’s a way to regain my routine. It is something that can help my memory & an introduction to working life.

    Also a way to help/inspire others in my position. So I have to set a theme of this blog, well it’d be like meeting me digitally.

    But as for the theme I have to decide who my target market would be & work out what my USPs are (USP=Unique Selling Point). I think you can probably work out who I’m aiming to read this from what my USPs are, but I’m pretty sure none of my readers are stupid. So here we go;

    I am recovering from a brain injury. Attended @headway for a short time, however I mainly went to use their gym.

    I’m leaning to walk. All of my walking progress is down to my private physio sessions. Done through @neurophysio.

    I’m in care in @leonardchesire in #edinburgh where I live.

    I’m working to commit my leisure time partially to this #blog.

    I’m currently doing an MA in business and management at @uclan

    I have #diabetes. diabetes mellitus, so type 1. A lot of my content may be targeted to the diagnostic community.

    While being vain, I have a fair amount of social capital (those who know me in person can vouch for that).

    I’m fairly #errodite. Into #randomfacts

    I studied #faskiondesignanddevopment at @lcf in London
