Hi everyone!

I feel I aimlessly scroll on my phone when my daughter is asleep or occupied etc.

I want more from my life in the next year and to be honest I find I’ve got no interests or very little interests and I’d love to find some in 2025!

in the mornings while my daughter sleeps I wake up I get a drink of water and now I stretch out and do some yoga for half an hour and I’ve begin setting up journals with particular questions etc from Pinterest etc ( just so I don’t pick my phone up as soon as I wake)

I sometimes do a work out of an evening and write etc but I want more! I can’t seem to focus on tv I can’t just go through Netflix or anything and pick a film out for myself I have obviously watched things but usually my daughters dad has picked it out etc.

i want to extend my life extend my knowledge and extend my interests and ability’s from now and have no idea where to start. I’m not really into violence so to speak like I tried the other night a the first thing I seen on the screen was a woman being murdered. I love a good crime documentary but I want something light or interesting etc.

I’ve began buying and reading motivational books etc but obviously these are things I’ll learn through over time.

I just want to find interests find something to follow find something to do! I know you all don’t know me but any suggestions or ideas even tell me what your upto/into and I’ll explore it!

You can get a subscription to the National Theatre online and watch plays. Everything from Shakespeare to modern stuff. I got the subscription for Christmas and just watched Prima Facie with Jodie Comer which was unbelievably good. I think it’s £9.99 for a month.

Omg thanks for posting this, I'm gonna subscribe 😄🤭 x

I keep on wanting to go to the theatre but they don't do any morning shows, only afternoon/evening ones and i have no childcare

I've gotten into fashion lately - finding out who the various creative directors are and understanding more about the industry and the art and the brands

I've quite enjoyed it - my little bit of luxury for when dd is at school. Currently saving for my first designer pair of shoes

I like to choose a period of history that I have a vague interest in, then listen to loads of podcasts about it, which usually leads on to reading historical fiction about it. I then sometimes even try writing about it. There are so many brilliant historical podcasts nowadays, I love it.
