Highlights of 2019!

-



People say that time flies when you are having fun, and this was definitely the case with 2019! I created some amazing memories this year, and would love to share the highlights with you all 😊


UQ Presentation


In April, I presented to first year OT students at the University of Queensland. It was an incredible experience, and I hope to present more next year!









Travelling


This year has been an amazing time for travel and adventures! I had two beach holidays this year, one in February and one in November. Both times I had fun hanging out at the beach and eating delicious food with friends and my sister Kellie.




In September, I flew north to Townsville for the first time to see my great friend Yarna. We spent our time visiting Magnetic island, going to cafes and hitting the local bars.








Zeus

At the start of the year my family adopted an adorable Rottweiler cross Doberman puppy, who we named Zeus. He has been an amazing addition to our family, as we’ve watched him grow. He loves to hang out with me in my flat!









Friends

My friends are extremely important to me, and I strive to regularly see them. Even as we grow older and go down different paths, it is so important to find time to catch up with the important people in your life. Shout out to all my amazing friends who I’ve seen this year!  <3

I feel like this year has flown by, but after reminiscing, I’ve realised that I have done so much and have had many incredible experiences! So here is my 2022 in review! Enjoy! Trips Away I went to Caloundra and Mooloolaba earlier this year for trips away. I spent my days checking out beaches, relaxing, eating delicious food and watching sunsets with good company <3 Blue Hair I dyed my hair for the first time last New Year’s Eve! I’ve kept the tips of my hair blue all year round, just by refreshing the colour every couple of months. I’ve really loved having my hair blue! I think it represents me and my personality perfectly. Hikes and walks I’ve always loved nature and walks, and this year I have continued this passion by trying different trails! I’ve explored Karawatha Park Nature Reserve, Daisy Hill Conservation Park, and Enoggera Reserve, just to name a few! Days at Redcliffe Redcliffe has been such an amazing place to visit on days out!

The Power of Humour

  I believe that humour is a necessary part of my life that I use daily. I respond to humour with laughter, as many of us do. One of the reasons people enjoy humour so much is that it is a wonderful source of entertainment and brings happiness to your life. By using humour, I can be better prepared for when things go wrong. For example, if I am feeling down, I can laugh with my friends, I know that always cheers me up. I recently read an article titled “ Humour, laughter, learning and health! ”. For me, the most exciting part of the article was the interesting points made about trying out humour in the classroom. Research about the uses of humour: This research has led me to believe that humour can be used in many different ways. Without humour the world would be a sad place. One of the most powerful aspects of humour is the way in which it causes people to react. I think that the way we as humans respond to humour unites us. What I mean by this is that we all enjoy...

Relaxing with Reiki

  Relaxing with Reiki Background info Reiki is a Japanese healing technique that transfers energy through the hands of a practitioner to provide healing. It uses energy exchange during the process and promotes stress reduction as it encourages relaxation. In reiki the person receiving the treatment lays on a bed and the healer places their hands on the receiver to their affected areas. Research suggests that reiki treatments are linked with improvements in depression and anxiety. Research has also shown that Reiki can be helpful for improving mood and relieving stress through lowering heart rate and blood pressure, and increasing immune strength. Reiki reduces stress by incorporating music, drums, breathing and training the mind to bring awareness to the body’s wellness. This shifts the body from a fight or flight (stress) response into a more relaxed state. Reiki involves the use of vibrations through the music and drums. Given there is scientific evidence behind the use ...
