Motivational Monday #9


Aloha Sprinklerinos,

Merry Monday to you. If you live in the UK, I hope, like me, you enjoyed the gorgeous weather this weekend. If you live somewhere else, tell me where in the comments. I'm fascinated by how wide this Glitter Family might be across the globe. 


Talking of globes (ooohh smooth transition there), this week I am digging out my passport and jetting off to Orlando, Florida, to attend a YouTube convention called Playlist Live. 

I'm nervous. I'm excited and grateful and motivated but I'm nervous. It doesn't matter where I go in the world or who I go with but I always suffer from a little bit (or a lotta bit) of home sickness. I read somewhere recently that 'extreme adult home sickness' is a thing and was relieved to see I wasn't just being pathetic. I won't go into it too much because I think that's for another post (if you want it?) but yep, I get anxious about leaving home/my home people and it sits along side my excitement. 

Saying all that, I 90% of the time, say 'yes' to going on trips. I go because I know they are good for me. I come back so proud of myself and with a whole heap of new memories and amazing experiences in the bag (not to mention photos and videos!). I meet new people, see old friends and fully step out of my comfort zone. 

This week and some of next I won't be blogging (except for the things I have scheduled) as I will be dancing around outside of my comfort zone and urge you to try it too. No matter how big or how small, I would love for you to force yourself out and come along with me on a scary yet exhilarating challenge!

Let me know in the comments how you get on <3 p="">

Toodlepip!

xx

  1. Cyclone Lusi here in New Zealand. Wet and windy :( Spent the weekend catching up on uni work, doing chores, painting nails and watching movies. All in all a very good weekend. Enjoy your trip Louise and well done for being so brave!!! Thank you so much for your posts! They're so enjoyable, it makes my day seeing you've posted! Much love from the other side of the world! xx

  2. I live in New Jersey (about 15 min from NYC) and although Saturday was beautiful, sweater weather, Sunday was quite freezing and Monday we may have some flurries of snow. And as far as trips or vacations, I love the planning and researching and learning new things but I find it harder to do the smaller, closer to home - type things. I tend to stay home when someone asks me to go to a movie or dinner. I really have to kick my butt to go because I know in the end I'll enjoy it.

  3. Im from the UK, but unfortunately the weather was rather cold and wet in the Scottish Highlands! (But then again, it always is!) I hope you enjoy Playlist:D

  5. I live in Venezuela, if you watch the news you may know what's going on over here. Even though we're going through a tough time, everything that's happening keeps me hopeful :) at night it gets more dangerous, so we have to stay home and I try to escape from it all for just a few minutes, reading posts like yours really helps :)
    I hope you enjoy your trip Louise! Have a wonderful time!!!

  8. I'm from the Netherlands! We have very similar weather as in England, only less extreme sometimes ;P It sure was nice weather last week. I really hope this week will be just as beautiful :)

  10. I'm from Estonia. Our weather has gone crazy. The day before yesterday is was so sunny and warm, no snow left, about 6° C and suddenly yesterday it started snowing and then it melted a bit and then it got cold. So now it is super freezing again and it's like ice rink out there.
    Thank you for your posts Louise, I would be lying if I said they didn't motivate me :) Enjoy your trip! xx

  11. I live in southern Australia and after a very hot summer, our weather has become pleasant with days where it's in the mid to high 20sC. (compared to January and February with days of 40degrees plus! A wee bit warm!) I love to travel, particularly being able to experience new places. I love the fact that our world is big and combined with an adventurous spirit I'm happiest when planning my next trip!!!

  12. Hi Louise :) I'm from Melbourne in Australia and it was, well, typical Melbourne weather. Sunny, then windy, then rainy, then sunny, then grey skies with three minute bursts of rain every ten minutes. Just can't make up its mind, can it?

  15. FINLAND! ;-) I am so jealous of you and the weather in the UK - it's freezing here, it just snowed last night and it's currently about -13 degrees celsius whe

  16. I'm from the UK, the whether really is so nice at the moment! (Makes a nice change)
    I can totally relate to your homesickness Louise, I get the same thing! I would love to see a blog post about it in the future :)

  17. Hello Louise, I'm from a little island called Singapore and the weather here has been pretty hot and very dry. It looked like (autumn) for the past two months or so. We don't get to feel what snow or fall is like here except for just rain and sun. Finally to end the hot and dry weather it rained over the weekends after a very long time and its still is off and on. Enjoy your trip louise and hope to hear all the excitement about the trip soon.. Kisses from Singapore xoxo

  18. Im from Australia and the weather was lovely besides a quick storm yesterday afternoon! x

  20. Here in Finland the weather was amazing! But then we got more snow on Saturday and now It's freezing again :(

  21. I'm from Norway but studying abroad. I definitely know what you mean, I often feel homesick but all the amazing memories and friends I've made here makes it all worth it. After three years I can say it's getting better, but there are days when the only thing I want to do is lie under my bed sheets and watch tv shows but I think that's normal and nothing a skype call home can't fix. I would actually love to read a blog post about how homesickness is for you when you have time. :) Thank you for your blog posts, Louise! xx
    (oh, and in poland it's currently raining. we've had a couple of nice days with sun though so it's ok)

  22. Hi Louise! I'm from Belgrade, Serbia! Here is spring already, 20 degrees and sunny every day! Have fun in Florida, can't wait to see you vlogs! (hope you will vlog a little bit for us :-) )

  23. Seems to be a few Australians on here! I'm from Sydney, though I've called the U.S., NZ, and Singapore home at different points. The weather in Sydney is currently really weird, we keep on going from hot to cold, to tropical storms. It's a bit odd.
    I actually have the opposite problem in regards to traveling, I start to feel anxious if I live in one place for too long, my family is really the only place I'd call home.

  24. I'm here in Western Australia! Still very warm from our glorious Summer but is slowly getting colder and it's no longer warm enough to go out in the evening without a jumper on :( But excited to dig out all of my winter clothing!

  27. Been so envious of the weather in the UK recently, my parents have been rubbing the sunny spring weather there in my face as in South Korea the sun refuses to make an appearance. I think the mountains are hiding it. :(
    Have a wonderful time at playlist

  29. I'm from Estonia (yes, we have electricity(pretty much 4G internet all over the contry haha beat that) and no we do not live in huts) and I love this post for one massive reason: I'm most likely going to study abroad next semester and it freaks me out. I applied because my older sister had the chance to study abroad and said how amazing the experience is. I can't live lower than that. I won't! So I pushed myself and now when I know there is big chance of me going I get anxious. I can't even imagine what happens if I'm about to go...But thanks for encouraging me and everybody else to step out our comfort zone.

    Love you Motivational Mondays!! x

    Hello from Cologne, Germany :) Our weather was shitty so I grabbed my parents (they were in town for a visit, or better to check out if the little girl is doing good ;) ) and we headed to Essen to the Museum Folkwang. There we visited a wonderful Karl Lagerfeld exhibition. By the way I can recommend the restaurant next to the museum...just if there's someone out there planning to go, too :)

  34. I'm from the deepest countryside Bavaria, Germany has to offer and except for the weekend which was rainy and cold we had the most gorgeous weather you could only wish for. Unfortunately my hay fever kicked in so I had to spend the days inside studying rather than enjoying the sunshine :(
    I know that feeling you have about leaving home. I'm always super excited until the day I mean to leave draws nearer and I have the strongest wish of stepping out of the journey or whatever. That's really something I need to work on!
    Enjoy your trip to Orlando! <3

  40. I'm from Germany and currently live in Israel, where we've just been blessed with very rare rain last week (yes, you heard right; rain is an excitement here). I really love your motivational monday series! I've been stepping out of my comfort zone recently by being happy (yeah, that does sound weird), as I have concluded that I spent too much time wallowing in uncalled for self-pity...
    Hope you have a great trip and manage the home-sickness well, I'm sure you will be with many beautiful friends to help you along! xx

  41. I'm Dutch, but I currently live in Albania. During the day it's beautiful, but as there are mountains all around me, the nights are still cold. But yay, spring! :)

  43. I may be going to Thailand this summer with my two friends from uni! I'm so scared because it's a country I've never been to, I usually go to the Philippines where I have family so the locations are pretty similar, except in Thailand I don't really have a back-up or people to help us if something goes wrong, but I've decided to just go with the flow and stay positive! I think researching and being organised is the key!

  44. I live in Norway, we had really nice weather for a week, and last night it started snowing out of no where, but today it's sunny again. The weather in Norway has been acting really weird lately. I too get nervous about travelling, I'm a worrier, so I picture everything that can go wrong, but as soon as I'm there I start to relax a little. Have a nice trip, I'm so jealous, I've never been in the US.

    I also decided to step out my comfort zone and in August I'm going to the university in Sweden for half a year...also very excited but nervous :-)
    Have a great time in the US Louise ♥

    ReplyDelete
  47. I have the same thing...on one hand I absolutely love travelling whilst I'm there but go through stages of 'out of my comfort zone'. In the end, it's really not great to let yourself weighed down by negative thoughts and you only get one life, you might as well fail or win but at least you tried! At least that's what I tell myself hahah

    Will you be vlogging during Playlist? I really enjoyed everyone's vlogs last year and am really looking forward to any vlogs this year. Makes me feel as if I'm there with you guys, as cheesy and weird as that sounds aha.

  63. Hi there! I'm from Johannesburg, South Africa, and over the past few weeks most of our homes have become soggy & damp from all the rain (some SA provinces up north even experienced devastating floods). Luckily we don't have any dams/rivers to worry about close to where I live and we even had a good bit of sunshine over the weekend - enough so that I managed to actually sun-dry some of my laundry for a change :)

I'm very excited but also really nervous as I will be gone for a couple months! I think it's going to be such a great challenge for me. I'm sure I will feel quite proud, just like you, upon my arrival home :)
    Have a great trip!

    It is okay that you feel nervous about your trip, but as you said it is so important to step outside your comfort zone and it is also really good for your family and your marriage if you sometimes do things on your own. That's healthy and also makes you feel so happy to return to your loved ones.

  84. Hello, Louise! I live in the US, and I'm from Cleveland, Ohio. The Glitter Family sure is expansive!
    Next week I will be pushing myself, no, HEAVING myself out of my comfort zone as I will begin taking driving lessons. I'm nearly 20 years old, have suffered with severe anxiety for my entire life, and have therefore become dependent on my family members to take me to work every day. It's awful and I'm sick and tired of not being able to do things on my own, so as much as it petrifies me, I will begin learning to drive! I know it will be good for me, and it'll be my first step to a new and exciting life as an independent lady.

    I hope your trip is wonderful. You'll do amazing! I believe in you! Have safe travels! <3

    Thanks for that!

  94. I live in the U.S.A. in eastern Kentucky. We had all four seasons in three days, ending with winter. Good warm summer weather Friday and Saturday. Cold rain and then snow on Sunday. My little boy loved being able to get outside in the sun without having to be bundled up. Thanks for asking.
    I love your blogs, messages, and videos. You are an inspiration to me, in that you can follow your dreams and still be an amazing mother, wife, and friend. Keep it up!

Hi Louise, I live in Germany and we had such lovely weather over the week (nearly 20 degree) but on the weekend it started to be cloudy and chilly :( Hope you have lots of fun at Playlist Live! You do an amazing job with your videos and blog! I love how cheerful and self-confident you are! You are a true inspiration :) Lots of love, Alex

  120. I live in a small town in Australia, and it is currently 14 degrees and I am sitting on my bed with a blanket, my favourite sweater and a hot cup of tea. No better way to start a day.

  122. I'm from Seattle, Washington! The weather definitely has been living up to its rainy stereotype but today has been absolutely lovely! I'm in college and have been studying for finals in the sunshine! Such a great way to study :) I hope you have a great time at Playlist Live!

  123. I live in Norway, as I have for most of my life. I did live in Iowa for a year for school and it was amazing. I missed my parents like crazy, but I had my best friend with me and I made some fantastic friends over there so it was all worth it. If I could have chosen something different, I probably would have studied there for four years, instead of just one.
    I often have a really hard time stepping out of my comfort zone, but I'm trying to get better at it. It was actually a lot easier in the US because people would just come up and talk to me, or drag me along to things, not giving me enough time to think and say no like I normally would have. And thanks to them I am now a much stronger person than I was, and I deal with things that happen a lot better.

  124. Hi Louise
    I'm in Brisbane, Australia. This morning it's a bit grey, but very humid and it's supposed to be about 30 degrees Celsius. It's actually the beginning of Autumn, so it feels a little bit wrong for it to still be humid and hot.
    I also get anxious when I go away from my home. I get worried about my family (and my kitty). I hope you have a fabulous time in Orlando :)

    ReplyDelete
  125. I live near Philadelphia, but spent Saturday down the shore (at the beach in New Jersey), which was gorgeous. Of course it snowed today. I'm very tired of snow. I'm hoping to move to the UK, so I guess the horrible winter was getting me ready for it.

    ReplyDelete
  126. Tennessee, USA. I recently went for a 5 mile hike in the Great Smokey Mountains. It's pretty outside of my comfort zone because last time I went there were three bears on the trail. I hope you have fun being warm and toasty in Florida!

    ReplyDelete
  127. I'm in Frederick Maryland, and I had a snow day today! Insane! Currently reading/commenting to procrastinate my bio paper. I love traveling, it's one of the few things I actually have no worries doing. Can't wait to see tons of videos from your trip, I hope you have a fantastic time!

  128. In Montreal it's been mighty cold! Sometimes we can be wearing shorts in March, but this year we are all still bundled up in our parkas! Have an amazing time in Orlando! It will be nice and warm there! I'll be stepping outside my comfort zone in September! I've been accepted into a Scottish University and I can't wait to attend! Emily xox

  133. I live in the Pacific Northwest in the US and the weather here has been wonderful! We have the same climate as the UK basically, so all of this sunshine has been super lovely. I'm hoping that this means summer will be beautiful this year!
    I am the exact same way - trips usually stress me out so much to the point that I consider canceling them right before every single time! I never do though, and I'm always glad because I usually end up having a great time! I just always get that silly anxiety for no real reason but I get over it quickly. I hope you have a great time at Playlist! I was in Florida last spring break as well, but I wish I was going back this year! It was so much fun.

  145. I'm from Jacksonville, Florida. And I get nervous about leaving home as well. I haven't been able to enjoy a vacation as an adult yet :/ family trips are different because it's like home is going with you, but when i would go with my significant other or friends I could never relax very long. Hope you enjoy Florida! Our weather has been very hot/cold lately, which is quite typical this time of year.

  150. Hey Louise,
    currently the weather in Vancouver, BC, Canada is very cloudy, it's about 7 degrees here (so not to cold), and it looks like it's about to rain. Yesterday we saw some sun even though it was a bit colder. But hopefully we see some more sun here later in the week.

  151. I live in Finland and I was so happy that we had unusually warm winter but just as the spring was coming around the corner the winter came back and now we have snow again and I'm freezing.

  156. Have an amazing time out of your comfort zone Lou! I totally understand how it can be tough at times to be without your close knit people, I have my brother living in Canada and my best friend living in London and I live in Australia so it can be tough at times when you just want them to be right there. Thats why technology is so darn amazing! So charge up that phone and laptop and enjoy every minute! xoxo

  174. Hi Louise, I recently discovered you on YouTube and now your blog and I love it! I'm from California, near LA and the weather has been really nice (a bit too warm for my taste since we never really had winter this year). I have recently been diagnosed with anxiety and depression and I also deal with home sickness whenever I travel (and I adore travelling! ) I've challenged myself to #100happydays to remind myself of everything in life that makes me happy! Have fun in Orlando!

  190. Totally agree with this. I spend a hella load of money on all things beauty and clothes but at the beginning of the year I thought I'm only going to be young once, I have the money and nothing tying me down so it seems silly to keep spending it on material objects when there's a whole world out there to explore. I've now booked Malta, Sweden and Paris (:
