Deep meaningful quotes that give you all the feels

2
by

OK. So here are some meaningful quotes that I know you will be able to relate on some level.

Looking at someone past their looks and seeing what they are really all about.

Know that number 1 is you and don’t put someone else’s importance before your own.

You want to conquer something but you need the courage to do it. Spread them wings, get flying.

Finding the right people in life that will make you smile, lift you up and watch you improve in life.

You need to leave the past behind to be able to move forward. I know you’ve heard this one before probably from many people. It’s because it’s so true.

It’s not plain sailing for anyone. You need to know that everybody has bumps in their path of life. Struggles are everywhere, it’s how you handle them.

And that’s your life lesson for today 😂

Beat the January blues

4
by

I’m speaking from past experiences but doesn’t January just put you out of sorts. Literally at the stroke of midnight New Year’s Eve and bam 💥 you’re in another month…another year nonetheless and I know some people just hate change. It’s like you are expected to put on a happy face and celebrate…

Don’t be ashamed, it’s ok to feel underwhelmed.

Here are 10 things to do to help you feel a little more happier if only a little bit

  • Write down 5 things that immediately bring a smile to your face
  • Eat your favourite meal – whether you cook it or order it in
  • Look through photos that hold great memories
  • Give yourself a little pampering – you’re worth it
  • Give your bedroom/living space a makeover
  • Phone a friend and just chat – it’s good to talk
  • Make yourself a playlist of music that gets your heart singing as well as you
  • Order yourself a few items of clothing, It’s surprising how much of a difference it can make to your mood
  • Get writing. Whatever is on your mind write it down, it’s s great form of self reflection and therapy.
  • Plan a day/evening out with a friend or family member. It’ll do you good to let your hair down.

Look at January like this it’s half way through the month  now. You’ve made it this far. So take it day by day and appreciate the littlest things that do make you grin.

Your week really doesn’t have to suck

I know so many people live for the weekends and every day they wake up they are wishing its Friday.

As I’m writing this it’s Monday. Some think it’s the worst day ever when in fact it’s a good day when you look at it like this…

Find something that makes you smile every day and you’ll never have a miserable day again. Ok maybe you’ll have the odd off day. I make sure i laugh at least once a day cos i truly believe it’s the best medicine.

12 Daily Reminders

I found this list on one of my boards on Pinterest so i decided to copy it to my whiteboard and put it in my office as a reminder of all things to keep in mind on a daily basis.

I think if you have something positive written down that you can read time and time again it will eventually be something that you will just believe in and know it off by heart.

You can make a list of whatever is going to motivate you or get your happy head on. I find it quite therapeutic making lists. That’s the nerdy part of me.

If you have a spare whiteboard get creative with yours and make a motivational list/ quotes that inspire you.

If your going to do it then do it well

This quote speaks volumes to me and I hope it does you.

You’ve all heard –

  • Don’t run before you learn how to walk.
  • Take one step at a time.
  • If you do something do it well

Well they are all trying to get the same message across. That each thing you want to achieve is a goal and you just need to focus on it but don’t hurry it. You want to get there with a sense of I did it and it was worth every step along the way to reach the goal…

You never just tick off your achievements without putting in effort so please just take it steady whatever you are aiming for in life and make sure you wear a smile and have a spring in your step while doing it.

Happy Thursday, thanks for stopping by

Five Planner Essentials

5
by

Today I thought I would talk you through these helpful things that help me plan a bit better than just plain old pen and paper.

I want you to know this, you can use these 5 essentials for anything in life not just blogging.

AN A3 WHITEBOARD

I bought this in Whsmiths sometime last year for £6.99 I think I am pretty sure they still will be in there now. I have used a piece of pink card cut up into how many topics I want to cover wrote on with a sharpie to stand out and stuck on with magnetic tape which you can buy from Amazon for under a fiver.  I find that when I am planning blog posts I can bring down the relevant one and do a spidergram with all my ideas. I really do find it really handy. I then either take a pic on the phone of my ideas and add to OneNote or write it in a book.

A DIY TO DO LIST

I made this to help me stay on track with what I had to do whether it was blog related or not it, and its super helpful. Write your thing to do on the tape and stick it up there on the board, when its done take it down..simple. I bought the mini clipboard from good old Wilkos The sticky blackboard paper and coloured tape from Amazon. These are two places I love to get my stationary from as its so cheap.

A SELECTION OF NOTELETS AND WEEKLY PLANNER SHEETS

When out shopping and I come across notelets or weekly planners you can guarantee I’ve grabbed one or the other off the shelf and shoved it in my basket. They are great if you have an idea but don’t want to use up a whole sheet of paper or don’t have your technology to hand. The prettier they are sometimes you don’t want to use them. I got the first one in the sale in Primark for £3 possibly less, and the last two in HomeSense.I wish these had online stores, I would be penniless and many of you too.

A NOTEBOOK FOR LITERALLY ANYTHING

I bought this years ago but I can’t remember where, and I didn’t write in it as I thought I want it to be organised and just about one thing when in fact the list on the front said it all write all sorts in there. So that’s what I have started to do. If you want to keep it in some sort of order then adapt it to your needs with an index, washi tape for marked pages, however, you wish.

AN INSPIRATION PINBOARD 

Go pick up a large pinboard from your local supermarket or stationery store, open up Pinterest and look for some inspiration that’s going to keep you going when you are writing.  These are a few I printed out a few months ago and I do need to add a few more. You could make it into a vision board, put all your notes on it, photographs of people that make you smile or your cat or dog…you really can use it for anything.

There you have it I thought I would stick to 5 as I could have gone on and on. I’d love to hear what things you use to plan/organise yourselves.

Have a fab day and thanks for reading

Til next time…

Oh my goodness really is it really here? I want the weekend to be here already I hear you say. I bloody hate Monday. Well, guess what…..

c276586d93d63b4519bd4608398d0d3e

For years and years the word Monday sends peoples blood pressures shooting up, as they dread the start of the week ahead. The weekends gone and its ages until it comes back around again.

Heres some humour to get you out the Monday blues…

I’m picturing Rod Stewart right now but he looks pretty hot with his crazy hair so not every mullet is hideous.

 I guess that we can look at it as not every Monday is the same and some you will shudder at and others you will grow to like.

You needn’t be in a slump for the entire day, starting a week on a bad feeling is just asking for a shit week ahead.

Put a smile on your face, a big pair of positive pants on and make a list of goals you want to smash for the next 7 days and stroll into the week with your head held high.

Motivation Monday: How to stay on top

4
by

I will hold my hands up and say I need to take a few bits of my own advice.

Being motivated–

Not just because it’s a new year but because it will make you happy once you’ve achieved it.

  • As the saying goes take baby steps, one step at a time and plan your way to what you are striving towards. The world wasn’t built in a day so take your time.
  • Surround yourself with Positivity. Me personally I love pinterest it has all the quotes you could ever want and more to get you feeling good about yourself.
  • Be your own biggest fan. Believe in yourself. Tell yourself you are amazing and you can do anything you put your mind to.
  • Do not be defined by the number on the scales. If you are happy as you are then good for you but from experience the scales can make you cry. Learn to love your reflection in the mirror and sod any haters.
  • Write down to do lists so you have a plan of action and you can feel truly satisfied when you have ticked everything off on the list.
  • Reward yourself when you have done good. Buy that pair of shoes you’ve been eyeing up. Go see that film. You’re worth it.

Life’s for living so while you are young, able and healthy go out and live it to its fullest.
