She and I are onto something really, really good!

We have employed a personal trainer, for not only is the trainer guiding us through our fitness routine, but also she is coaching us towards emotional wellness. We want more freedom from our family who kept putting unfair restrictions on us, so by becoming fitter and being taught how to cope with our emotional problems means we are becoming stronger day by day. My feeling better inside is also reflected in having a greater experience when performing. Once onstage I feel energized, though pre-performance nerves is quite normal, but the enhanced exercise routine our personal trainer has fitted us up with makes for all-round physical fitness and a greater experience of feeling better inside. She has been doing so well, too. I am very proud of her. :)

I've been taking much needed rest between performancies so to get pain relief from the juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. Since the weather has been wonderful lately, less damp means less joint pain and what little I do experience still is being alleviated by non steroidal anti inflammatory drugs, or NSAIDs. My doctor has been very good lately.

Last weekend our concerts in Monaco were great, and half an hour ago my agent called saying we've been invited back to the club. Next weekend we'll be touring Europe with my band, so this means I won't be so active on the forum, especially next month when we'll be doing concerts in Majorca and mainland Spain and then back to Italy and Venice.

At last the older ones in our family are seeing sense in letting us spread our wings becoming more independent. Maybe hopefully we can make friends and this has got to be good.

    Hey Mirabelle

    This is great to hear! Really good that your personal trainer is coaching you on physical and mental health - they are just as important as each other and, at times, very complimentary. You mentioned you are suffering from arthritis, sorry to hear that! How are you feeling at the moment?

    The tour sounds really exciting, good luck and let us know how you're getting on when you can :)

    Thanks for spreading positive vibes :rainbow::rainbow2:

    That’s all great to hear! Sounds like so much improvement.
    I think independence is really important and personal space. I hope you manage to make some friends😊
    “And when they look at you, they won't see everything you've been through. They won't see the **** that turned to scars that began to fade with time. They won't see the heartbreaking things that shook up and changed your entire world. They won't know how many tears you cried or even what it was you were crying about. They won't see how strong you had to be because you had no other choice. What they will see though is how compassionate you are because you experienced pain. What they will see is how kind you are because you experienced how cruel the world is. What they will see is how good you are because you've seen how bad things or people can be. The difference between you and your experiences are who you choose to be, despite everything that could have turned you cold and unkind.You are the good the world needs and the best of us.” ~ Kirsten Corley

    Hi Lucy,

    Tonight I'm aching but it's probably from last night's late concert. We didn't finish til gobe 4 AM as it was a night club. I've just take a painkiller and rubbed some NSAID cream into the achy part of my back and shoulders. A nice warm hot water bottle will help me sleep.

    I'll let you and eveyone know of my progress.

    Yeah, I'm trying to slot in times where I can enjoy alone-time because having personal space is vital, so I can concentrate on personal improvement. I've been very troubled of late. This has been caused by the older ones in my family putting unfair restrictions on my socialising. Then my personal trainer did a whole lot of good by telling aunty why it's so important for me to make friends outside family, and now it looks as if Mandy and I can spread our wings and join in the fun with others, especially after doing a concert.

    Band practice though is tiring. A musician's life is one of hard work. Practic makes perfect, but personal time for oneself is paramount if I'm to get through the next day. If I can only get better by 1% tomorrow, then that would be super. Just the 1% :thumb:

    I'm real proud of Belle for getting us this personal trainer. Thanks to this lady we are doing very well in many areas being physical for exercising and the wellness/meditation and spiritual side. Thank you Azziman for the congrats of our concerts in Monaco. We been gigging there most of the week since last weekend with our band, but Belle isn't well today so we cancelled. But I passed my driving test this morning so that's really great we got wheels now.

    In the meantime it's my priority to get Belle well again. She's also very upset about "something family", but I'll see her okay because she needs someone strong to speak up for her. Just thank you, also Shaunie and Lucy for your very lovely posts. :heart::heart:

    Thanks Azziman, we are doing very well as our personal trainer is setting us weekly tasks to fulfill. Interesting, but when I am not logged into the forum, I seem to feel much better.

    Thanks @Azziman also good news is our trainer has started a program for our twins that are staying with us. I think both need direction in their young lives, so not only having a tailored physical exercise prog, but also being shown how to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Preteens need special guidance and for me this has become quite a challenge. If Belle and I can give our young folk a helping hand, then their transition into their teenage years won't become so difficult.

    Belle has taken temporary leave of the site so she can get well again. We have been relaxing a lot throughout each day because our evenings are taken up doing concerts. I need to be mindful of the potential strain that entertaining brings, and late nights because of it can take their toll. This is why having a personal trainer is becoming an anchor, a keel as it were, in helping all of us have a healthier perspective of our lives. So many rock band groups end up with failed lives and I don't want my young family suffering like so many before them. I think we are doing very well and being 'Mum' is a reward in itself.

    Much love back to you <3
