Good to have a productive weekend

It is a new Monday and half term has begun. My son couldn't wait to go to his holiday club and was like at 7am going "Can we go now?" I am like doing all I can to stop him from kicking off. I am glad he enjoys it and potentially his last year. It was a nice for a dry weekend. Park run was hard but we did it. We did some running and felt the aid walkers were getting a little frustrated with us going so slow but so helped by one of the ladies who runs the club, to run and will pick it up again for next week, if all goes well.

Picture of my son playing in the playground 

A lot of it was super muddy from the rain we have had last week, but we still did it and then we played in the playground. I did my radio show on Sunday and was really good. I was doing mixed groups and so now going to start to plan for next weeks show.

Henry my son did well at his rugby club. He goes every Sunday and got an award for his passing and was really trying so hard. He is very placid when he goes. A few times he has gotten upset because of not receiving an award but now he is fine and understands that he's not going to get an award each week and they have to make it fare. 

It is good to have a productive weekend and next week the six nations will return and thinking of my show for the radio and perhaps do a sporty theme. You can listen to it on Epsom Hospital radio, Sunday's 4pm to 6pm, https://www.epsomhospitalradio.org.uk/on-air/listen-live

It has been a real eye opener and you have to take on opportunities and it is surprising how things turn out. I had wanted to work on radio since a kid as I love music and love celebrating music. 

I played songs like Black Eye Peas and Eurythmics and it went so well.

I prayed before hand that it would go well as I do get nervous and the critters in my mind begin, "Oh I don't want to do this anymore" " What if I don't get it right?" and it can really be agitating and really give myself a hard time, but it means and I tell myself this because it is true, I care. I care about it so much. It has really given me self belief and doing Park run too. It is good to doing things that are challenging and its excitement really, rather than anxiety. 

If you suffer with anxiety then ask yourself is it really? I now differentiate the two. 

When Mel Robbins talked about the body doesn't know the difference between excitement and anxiety its the same thing, but now see it that I want to start straight away as I get to the studio early and not dreading but looking forward to it. I am doing a job where I get to play music for two hours and its me and the board. Well really the listeners. 

I don't plan too far ahead and plan each show as they come. 

If you have recommendations of songs then please do. You can leave a comment below. You  can listen via the Epsom Hospital website if you are in St Helier or Epsom hospital and if you are in the UK.
