Sweeney’s Blogs Spotify Playlist

Sweeney’s Blogs Spotify Playlist

James Sweeney

Hello and Welcome to Sweeney’s Blogs!

Today’s blog is all about the playlist that I have made for Sweeney’s Blogs on Spotify. The playlist has been around a while but I am not sure if people know about it or not. I first made the playlist to have on in the background while I was writing blogs but now it is evolving into something bigger and better.

The playlist is now over 17 hours long and is available for anyone who wants to hear it! Whether you would like it on in the background while you read blogs, go for a run or just while you are chilling out and listening to music, Sweeney’s Blogs playlist is the playlist for you! The playlist is updated every week or so as well so there will always be something new to listen to on there!

You can find the playlist through Spotify by typing in Sweeney’s Blogs or via the following link: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0o8E5x2GB0yqct6FlVIhOj?si=ydE2_FzbR7G6oeFFbf0Pfw

When I first made the playlist I mixed a lot of different genres of music as well as music from the 1960s all the way through to now! Hopefully we have sings in there that match everybody’s taste, if we don’t let us know and I will try and add some more!

The playlist is just a little extra thing that I thought would be nice to run alongside the blogs and it is a lot of fun to make! What I like to do when the weather is as nice as it has been recently is just stick the playlist on, connect to a speaker and just relax in the garden, chilling out. With the sun out, music playing and drink in hand, where can you go wrong? The answer is that you can never go wrong!

As with everything I do on this page, feedback and comments are always appreciated. If there is any song/artist that you would like to see me add or remove from the playlist and I will see what I can do! I always aim to keep the playlist as family friendly as possible so everyone can listen to the playlist, regardless of their age!

That’s all I want to talk about in today’s blog! Thank you all for reading! Feel free to check out the playlist if you are interested! We have now had a blog a day on the page for 2 weeks straight! Let’s see how long I can keep it going for! I hope you are all enjoying all of the blogs and new pages that I have been making! Let me know what you would like to see next!

Thanks for reading and I hope you have a great day,

Ideas for Lockdown – Blog 1: Series Introduction

Ideas for Lockdown – Blog 1: Series Introduction

James Sweeney

Are you looking for something to do whilst in lockdown? Is the boredom of having nothing to do starting to get to you? Do you wish you had something new to do but you’re not sure where to start? Then our new Ideas for Lockdown series is the one for you!

Hello and Welcome to Sweeney’s Blogs!

Today’s blog is going to be the 1st blog in the new “Ideas for Lockdown” series and is going to act as an introduction to the series outlining what I hope to cover in the series, the content schedule for the series and much much more! This series is originally created to provide ideas of things to do whilst on lockdown from the Corona Virus but can be adapted into things to do for any occasion!

The Corona Virus has hit everybody hard. People have lost their jobs, livelihoods and in some cases, their lives. The virus has caused everyone bar essential workers to either work from home or simply not work until the virus has been contained and managed and the risk of it spreading, reduced. This change has left many being stuck at home with little to nothing to do.

The lockdown and boredom that can stem from it can leave many people feeling rather demotivated in their day to day life. Routines start to go out of the window as people have less and less to do and start to feel like they do not want to do anything bar stay in bed all day. Personally I have felt very demotivated since coming home from University and have really struggled when it comes to thinking about doing University work.

The thing that we need to remember is is that everybody is in the same book, it is an unfortunate book to be a part of, but we are a part of it, nonetheless. The task that we all need to try and do is to stay positive and to stay motivated and busy. How do we do it? For this I strongly believe that by using the time to do something then we can re-motivate ourselves and get through this rough, unfortunate time.

This series is going to take a look at different ideas I have for things that we can do during the lockdown. These ideas can range from reading books, to learning a new language, to catching up with old friends and family and so much more. Ideas are only as limited as the people thinking of them!

As the old saying goes “failing to prepare is preparing to fail”. If we do not make the most of this lockdown and actively try and do something the we are going to get ourselves in a routine of boredom and demotivate which ultimately is going to be little to no help to anyone in the future.

In regards to the content schedule for this series, I am currently aiming to do 2 new blogs a week for it. I was originally going to do 3 but plan to stick to 2 however, if I have enough ideas to merit 3 blogs a week for it then I will change it in the future. These blogs are going to be released on Wednesday and Saturday each week. This means now that on Mondays we are going to have our What do we mean by Success series and the every Wednesday and Saturday is going to be our Ideas for Lockdown series!

I am doing my best to keep doing a blog a day on the page for as long as I can so that everybody has something to read if they need it. I will keep on going for as long as I can, as long as the ideas I have for blogs are good ideas and cover relevant topics. I am hoping to branch out into a lot more topic areas in the next few weeks as I think it will make the blogs a little bit more interesting to read, and of course, to write.

That is all I want to talk about in today’s blog! What do you all think? Are you excited for this new series? Do you have any ideas for things to do that you want to see in this series? Are there any other series that you want to see on the page? Is there anything that you do not want to see me cover on the page? Let me know what you think of these questions either in the comments below, through our contact page or via our Facebook page.

Thank you all for reading and I hope you have a great day!

Sweeney’s Blog Update – April 2020

Sweeney’s Blog Update – April 2020

James Sweeney

Hello and Welcome to Sweeney’s Blogs!

I have not done an update blog on the page for quite some time now and feel like one is now overdue for me to write. One thing that I will always say is that I am always honest about how the page is doing and over the last few weeks we have been hit hard. The Corona Virus has hit so many businesses around the world and unfortunately we are no different there.

Viewing numbers is one of the biggest things that has changed recently. The blogs that are being published are not getting anywhere near the views that they used to get but we will bounce back. I have been planning a lot recently in relation to the future of the page and have a much clearer insight for where we are going to go. The virus has hit us hard but we will hit back harder and better than ever!

I am going to be doing a blog a day on the page for as long as I can during this crisis. So far I am on an Eleven day streak and I hope that I can keep on going for longer! My original thought was to diversify the content so that we are looking at different topics and subjects each day but if there is something that you would like to see me write about, message me or the page and I will see what I can do!

Over this week I have completely refreshed the Blogapedia page and I think that it looks a lot better than it ever has before! Now, each blog series that i have written for the page now has it’s own individual page. This will make it so much easier to navigate through my page and if there is a series that you really enjoyed reading, it is now easier than every to go back and reread!

Blogapedia is available here.

In terms of what series are currently running on the page, we have two active series, the Time to Talk series and the What do we mean by Success series. I am hoping to keep these series going for a while as long as people are enjoying them, want to see more and I have the content ideas planned for each of them. I write all of the blogs for the what do we mean by success series however the Time to Talk series works a little bit different.

My Time to Talk series is a series that is all about guests and readers experiences and stories. If you have an idea for a blog or a story you would like to share, please get in touch and we will see what we can do! If you have every seen or experienced anything in regards to Stuttering, Stress, Mental Health or anything similar then chuck the page a message we will see what we can come up with!

We do now have a page uniquely dedicated to all of the poems that I have written for the page. This page is called Poetry Corner and can be found under the Blogs drop-down list. If you would like to put your feet and relaxing whilst reading a poem then Poetry Corner was made for you!

Poetry Corner is available here.

I am hoping to update my Alzheimer’s Awareness page, Don’t Forget Me, soon but recently I just have not had the time to do so. I have now added a link to Don’t Forget Me to the menu for Sweeney’s Blogs as well so it is a lot easier to find. I will be adding a page for What is Alzheimer’s as well as all of the different support techniques that can be used to help cope with the horrible illness that is Alzheimer’s. I am currently thinking of more pages to add so keep an eye out!

Check out Don’t Forget Me and let me know what you think!

I am still regularly updating the Spotify playlist for the page as well. It now has over 17 hours of Music and covers music ranging from 1960 all the way to now!

Sweeney’s Blogs Spotify Playlist

I always try and add and remove songs when I get time so keep an eye out for some new additions in the coming weeks! If there is any song that you want me to add or remove from the playlist let me know and I will see what we can do!

I am also looking for more guest bloggers for the page so if you know somebody who may be interested, let me know! The actual blogs can be about absolutely anything, I don’t mind! We cover so much on this page already and I am always happy to explore new topics. If you have an idea or a story that you think could make an interesting read then message me!

That is all I want to talk about in today’s blog! The page has been hit quite hard for the virus but there is no need to worry, we will come back from this being better than ever! There is going to be a lot more content coming to the page over the next few weeks so I hope you are all looking forward to it! We are also going to be expanding onto new blog topics and themes as well as a new style of blog so I hope you are looking forward to it!

If anybody has any questions or queries that they would like me to answer let me know either on this page on through our Facebook page and I will reply as soon as I can! All comments and feedback are greatly appreciated and if you have any changes that you would like to recommend for the page let me know and I will see what we can do!

Thank you all for reading and I hope everyone is doing alright in the lock-down. If anybody needs someone to talk to you can always message me. I am always around and will try and help if I can!

Thanks for reading and I hope you have a great day!

Being Different Series

Being Different Series

James Sweeney

Hello and Welcome to Sweeney’s Blogs!

Today’s blog is all about the new page that I have made for my Being Different blog series!Similar to how we have updated both the Alzheimer’s Acceptance and Alzheimer’s Avoidance series, the Being Different series has now had a big update to it! I much prefer the new page to what it used to be in the Blogapedia, let me know what you think!

Being Different page.

I am slowly making my way through every series in the Blogapedia and giving them all their own pages! The transition process does take a while for me to do so I do apologize for the time that it takes to amend and update. As the Being Different series was the second series that I ever did on the page, I have needed to make some amendments to the page to make it more coherent with the rest of my work. The blogs are now all a bit longer and contain a lot more content that they used too! I hope you all enjoy the newly updated blogs!

To find the new page is simple. You can either find it by pressing the link above or you can go over to the Blogs drop-down list, hover over Blogapedia and you can find it there. Alternatively you can go straight to the Blogapedia page and find it there. All of the series that I write on the page are on the Blogapedia so if you are looking for something new to read, check it out!

Blogapedia is available here.

So what is the Being Different Series?

The Being Different series was the second series that I every wrote for the page and is all about why Being Different is something to be proud of, not ashamed of. The series focuses on the positive side of Being Different whilst also bringing in what Being Different actually means and the affect that it can have on your life.

I have edited a few of the blogs again recently to make sure that they are a lot more relevant and have a lot more content in them that they already had. Although they have been edited the original message that I wanted to portray through the series still stands and the actual purpose of each blog hasn’t changed at all.

The first blog in the series acts as an introduction to the series, talking about what we hope to cover through the series. The second blog goes into detail about what being different is and compares Oxford Dictionaries definition of what being different is to one that I made myself. The third blog in the series takes a look at the positive side of being different and how difference is a good thing and is something that we should embrace.

The fourth blog in the series takes a different approach and talks about how you can see yourself change though the years through a mirror. In this blog we talk about even though the way you see the world may change, the person that you are inside does not need to change. The fifth blog is the last blog in the series and acts as a series summary, talking about everything we covered in the series.

That is all I want to talk about in today’s blog! I hope you have all enjoyed! What do you think? Are you going to read the Being Different series? Should I bring the series back? Are you enjoying the new pages coming to Sweeney’s Blogs? What page would you like to see next? Let me know what you think of these questions and any other comments you have either in the comments below or via our Facebook page!

What do we mean by Success? – Blog 3: Your Qualifications?

What do we mean by Success? – Blog 3: Your Qualifications?

James Sweeney

Education and indeed the qualifications that you have are too many the foundation of their definition of success. People see education as an all or nothing when it comes to being successful or not when sometimes it just simply is not. The question that we are going to be looking at today is: does education factor in whether you are successful or not?

Hello and Welcome to Sweeney’s Blogs!

This is the third blog in the “What do we mean by Success?” series! Today’s blog is all about if education and qualifications are a factor of whether we are successful or not in life. As with many of the other blogs in this series, there are a lot of different opinions on this topic, I will give my opinion but I am in no way saying that it is right or wrong , it is simply my view on the subject. If you have a different viewpoint or question let me know in the comments or on our Facebook page and we will discuss it further.

The education that we have had the qualifications that we have achieved will most likely differ with each person you meet. Different people prefer different subjects, some people may find Maths and English as the easiest subject in the world, whereas others may see them as the hardest. The qualifications and education we have does play a part in where we end up in life but should we define our success simply by what we may have acheived 10-20 years ago?

It is very true that education can help you get a better job in the future but simply having the qualifications does not guarantee that you will get any or every job that you apply for. They play a good part in it yes, but they are in no way a guarantee. The value that we place on Education is very important growing up and is something that I personally value very highly but the question is: does it determine whether we are successful or not?

If you have 10 GCSE’s with grades ranging from A*- C and your friend has 9, does that make you more successful than them? Does it make you smarter than them? If another one of your friends has 11 GCSE’s ranging from A*-C does that make them smarter or better/ more successful than you? These are the questions that I would like you to think about when reading this blog. How do you see success and does your education act as a factor in that or not?

What I love about writing this series is all the questions that I ask are all down to a matter of opinion. You can talk to 10 different people about these questions and each time you will get a different response. The concept of success is one that we all see differently and it is something that should be embraced, not swept to one side.

Education is constantly evolving to adapt to a forever changing world, therefore the education and ,of course, the qualifications change with them. An easy example to look at here is the change from O Levels to GCSEs. This change was made for people who wanted to leave school at 16 without doing A levels or attempting to go to University. Education always changes eventually so should we deem how successful we are by the things that we are taught?

The way that we see Education also differs depending on who you talk to. The traditional way as it were would be to go through school to get your GCSEs, then go to College to study for your A Levels and then go to University in your chosen filed and eventually get a job. That is just one way that people can do it. There are so many alternate routes that people can take ranging from BTEC qualifications, to vocational qualifications, professional courses and so many more.

Personally I did not take the “textbook way” to get to University. I went through School doing really well and got very good GCSEs, even with a very large operation during my last year in School. When I went to College unfortunately I did not do as well as I hoped and did nowhere near what I was capable of. After College I did the Level 3 AAT, Accounting qualifications as well as a HNC in Computing and Information Systems at the University of Wales Trinity Saint David and went on to Reading University to study my chosen degree path.

Do I see myself as less successful than others as I took a different route to University? Should I? Personally I am glad that I did not take the traditional way. Not doing so well at College taught me a lot of lessons that will be very valuable to me in later life and the extra qualifications that I now have, alongside my AS and A Levels are a great asset when entering the world of work down the line.

There is no right or wrong answer for how you rank education as a factor in whether you are successful or not in life. It is all down to a matter of opinion. I base success off of a large number of variables of which my education is a part of. This blog is not meant to make you feel like you are wrong or right in what you think, it is made to open the door on questions that you may not have thought of.

Personally I love having debates on topics like this, I feel that because everyone sees them differently it can lead to a very interesting and thought provoking debate. All that I ask is that when you think of Education as a factor or not in relation to Success consider all variables. Remember what I said at the start of the blog if you have 10 GCSEs and your friend has 9, does that make you smarter or more successful than them? Success to me is a term of an amalgamation of different things but the way that you see it may be completely different.

That is all I want to talk about in today’s blog! Thank you all for reading! I hope everyone is doing alright in the lock-down that we are facing currently. What do you think of today’s blog? Are you enjoying the What do we mean by Success series? What would you like to see me talk about next? Let me know what you think of these questions and any other comments that you have either in the comments below or on our Facebook page.

Thank you all for reading and I hope you have a great day,

Alzheimer’s Avoidance Series

Alzheimer’s Avoidance Series

James Sweeney

Hello and Welcome to Sweeney’s Blogs!

Today’s post is all about the new page that I have created for my Alzheimer’s Avoidance series! Similar to yesterday’s blog about the Alzheimer’s Acceptance series being updated, I have now managed to update the Alzheimer’s Avoidance series as well! I think the page looks great and would love to hear what you think of the new addition to the Sweeney’s Blogs page!

Alzheimer’s Avoidance page

This new page marks the second change for my Blogapedia page. I am going to continue making new pages for each series that I have written for the page and each time I make a new page I will also update the Blogapedia. Instead of having a link to every blog in each series, the Blogapedia will now provide a link to each blog series’s page on the site and will give a short description about the series and will give an inkling into what I cover throughout each series on the page. A more in-depth blog about the changes will be coming in the future, so keep an eye out!

To find the new page you have to go under the Blogs drop-down list and then you can find it under the Blogapedia drop-down. This is where all of the series pages are going to go once I have finished them.

Blogapedia is available here.

So, What is the Alzheimer’s Avoidance series?

A conceptual look at Alzheimers disease, and some of the problems it brings.

The Alzheimer’s Avoidance series is designed to discuss different methods and techniques to reduce your chance of getting Alzheimer’s disease. In the series we take a look at techniques such as solving puzzle games, doing regular exercise, having a good social life and so many more to see firstly what they are and secondly how they reduce your chance of getting Alzheimer’s disease.

A point that I emphasize throughout the series is that although these techniques have been said to lower your chance of getting Alzheimer’s, they cannot guarantee that you will not get it. I would love to use a magic wand to get rid of illnesses such as Alzheimer’s and Dementia but sadly I cannot. So instead I provide a range of things that we can try and do in our daily life to help reduce the risk of getting such horrible illnesses.

When you read through all of the techniques and methods you will find that they are very good for your health in general, not just for Alzheimer’s and Dementia. Things like regular exercise and learning a new language can work wonders for both your Physical and Mental Health and you may find that they help reduce your risk of getting other illnesses too.

That’s all I wanted to talk about in today’s blog! Thank you all for reading! What do you think of the new page? Are you enjoying all of the blogs recently? What sort of content do you want to see on the page? Are you going to check out our new Alzheimer’s Avoidance page? Let me know what you think of these questions as well as any other thoughts or queries you may have in the comments below or through our Facebook page.

Thanks for reading and I hope you have a great day,

Alzheimer’s Acceptance Series

Alzheimer’s Acceptance Series

James Sweeney

Hello and Welcome to Sweeney’s Blogs!

Have you all seen our new Alzheimer’s Acceptance page? If not then go and check it out! The page is all about the Alzheimer’s Acceptance series which was one of the first blog series I wrote on the page. The Alzheimer’s Acceptance page can be found under the Blogapedia drop-down list, which can be found under the Blogs drop-down!

Alzheimer’s Acceptance page

The Alzheimer’s Acceptance page marks the start of the long list of changes that are going to be coming to the Blogapedia page on my site. I have always wanted to change the Blogapedia page but was never really sure what to do until now. There will be a more in-depth blog on this in the next few days but to cut a long story short each blog series that I have written on the page will be getting it’s own separate page on the site.

If you do what to see what the newer page looks like please click the link above. The Alzheimer’s Acceptance is still in the Blogapedia page too so take a look at the new design using the link below. It will be happening to every series in the Blogapedia when I get a chance!

Blogapedia is available here

So, what exactly is the Alzheimer’s Acceptance series?

The Alzheimer’s Acceptance series is the first series that I ever created on the page and as you can imagine from the name is all about helping people to accept what Alzheimer’s is, the effect it can have on the person with the condition as well as the effect it can have on that persons friends and family.

The series mixes both informative blogs as well as personal stories to give a real view on how Alzheimer’s can affect you and your loved ones. I share a story about the first time my grandmother forgot who I was to show, even though it hurts a lot, Accepting Alzheimer’s is something that we all need to try and do in life. Accepting the condition allows us to process it and plan how we are going to adapt and help the person suffering.

As well as the little story that I write, I do go through how I learned to accept Alzheimer’s in the fourth blog in the series. It was quite hard to write at the time for me as I found it a very emotional topic to discuss but I kept on going as I felt like the message was a really important one to portray and show people.

That’s all I want to talk about in today’s blog! What do you all think? Do you like the new Alzheimer’s Acceptance series? Are there any changes that you want to see come to my page? What do you think of Alzheimer’s Acceptance? Have you had to accept that someone has Alzheimer’s before? How did you do it? Did you find it difficult? Let me know what you think either in the comments below or on our Facebook page.

Thank you all for reading and I hope you have a great day!

What do we mean by Success? – Blog 2: Your Job?

What do we mean by Success? – Blog 2: Your Job?

James Sweeney

You often hear the word success being mentioned when a lot of people talk about their work life/job. You hear people say that a person was successful in getting a particular position/role or that they were not successful in a job that they went for. The question that I like to ask is what do you mean by success in this instance?

Hello and Welcome to Sweeney’s Blogs!

Today’s blog is the second blog in the “What do we mean by Success?” series and is going to discuss if our job is what makes us successful, if it is only a small part of what we define as success or if it doesn’t matter at all when thinking of successful. Success is a term that has many different contributing factors in for many and these factors are valued differently from one person to the next. Whether or not our job role plays a part in whether we can say we are successful or not is the main objective of this blog.

Jobs come in many different shapes and sizes, ranging from being CEO of a multi-billion pound empire to working in a local corner shop. Of course these jobs all have differing salaries, workloads, responsibilities and entry qualifications. The question that I like to think of when thinking of this is, can you say that the CEO of this multi-billion pound company is more successful than lets say someone who is working in their local village shop?

The answer to the question will be very different based off of who you ask the question too. Some people, who value jobs as the breaking point in determining success or not, would say of course the CEO is more successful than the person working in the shop, whereas other people may see the question differently. The reason that I ask this question is because I personally love to see the range of answers that I get from it.

It is one of the questions that I like to use to see how a person thinks and how they interpret questions that are asked to them. For the question there is no right or wrong answer, it is down to how you see the question and, of course, what you see as successful or not.

In my opinion, our job roles are a part of what success means to me, but so are a lot of other things. There are tonnes of different factors which we can look at which define success for many such as, our home life, the goals we set, the good we do in the world and so many more. I personally always strive to do the best I can in life which in turn should hopefully result in me getting a good job down the line. While I will think that a good job is a good factor to have when determining success, it is worth saying that there are other factors that I value more and there are factors that I value less.

Again, similar to the CEO and shop worker question, this scenario/mindset has no right or wrong answer, it is down to your own interpretation. This blog is just meant to open your eyes to these questions and then leave you to think of how you would go about answering them. The same goes with the majority of posts on my page, I do not like to force a message to people, more suggest a new/alternative meaning to a statement and see what they think of it.

If you feel like you have a different view on this issue or would like to have a debate or something similar, get in touch and I will more than happily have one. As I say all of these views are simply my views, you may see something completely different to me and I always love broadening my horizons and learning new things.

Of course, setting a goal or an aim to get a job is something that I highly encourage in life. I will be covering goal setting in a future blog in this series but thought it would be nice to touch on it now. If we set reasonable goals that we can hit then it can be a great motivator for us in life and hitting it is something we can add to what we may see as success!

That is all I would like to talk about in today’s blog! What do you all think? Do you like this new series? What do you define as success? Does your job role play a part in your version of success? What other factor would you like to see covered in this series? Is there a particularly successful person that you want to see me talk about? Let me know your thoughts on these questions, either in the comments on this post or on our Facebook page and I will see what I can do!
