I overthink too much! (The turnaround of a wonderful week)

I came back from Salford training fully pumped and ready to incorporate everything I've learnt into my job role as a trainee at BBC Radio 2. 

I began working on the breakfast show. The first week consisted of mostly office duties and show plans. The first day didn't go exactly how I thought it would be, and without anything negative happening at all, I suddenly fell into a state of overthinking and being hard on myself for not taking more initiative. 

I kept reminding myself about the fact that there is a tomorrow and another chance for me to make the day better and 10 times more productive. 

Mid week I had a meeting with my mentor which left me feeling so relieved! My mentor is so sweet and honest and reminded me not to be too hard on myself and avoid overthinking (one of my biggest habits). She also told me to remind myself that I AM HUMAN. We all make mistakes and constantly want to do better. 


I became overly chuffed and happy realising that I was part of a team that appreciated my help when contributing to contents of the show. 

Whilst out with a friend I also bumped into, met and spoke to one of my favourite artists right now known as Kwabs. It was such a great conversation and also made me realise that I'm no longer an 'omg a celeb!' fan girl, my friend noticed how the chat I had with him was more of a fun and informal interview which I hardly noticed! (Then again I would love to interview well known personalities as I rally towards my career path as a journalist/presenter). Meeting and talking with Kwabs was definitely another highlight!

I turned every negative thought into a positive and can honestly call this one of the best weeks of my life! Bumping into the current X Factor contestants was awesome too. 

Friday then became the icing on the cake (not just because it was the beginning of the weekend may I add!)

The Chris Evans show consisted of celebrities such as Graham Norton and soulful singer Jamie Cullum. Their radiant personalities shun throughout the studio and I smiled throughout sitting in on the 3 and a half hour show. I'd been up from 5am and remained BUZZING throughout!

The atmosphere and feeling I had reminded me of where my life is heading, if I remain consistent and hardworking with the attitude I carried throughout this week. 

Just because you have a bad day doesn't mean that it determines the outcome of the week. This week has been such an awesome one! So thankful for every single day, even the bad ones as they later turn out to be the best!

Note to self: stop overthinking
