How to beat the overwhelming feeling of S T R E S S

M O T I V A T I O N A L    M O N D A Y 

Hello lovelies!

Its that time of the week again where I share some Monday Motivation to help get you through the week, as positively as possible.

This week I've been feeling so overwhelmed. Works getting crazy busy, I've had Laryngitis, and I feel so behind on BLOGMAS. 

Today I wanted to write this for anyone else who is in a similar situation to me; where you love christmas but the chaos of it all is starting to make your mind turn to mush! 

Christmas is about slowing down and enjoying time with your family. Don't sweat the small stuff. Focus on Happiness, great food, and even better company. 

Here are a few of my favorite things this time of the year, to remind myself to make sure they are a frequent part of my life, and to not get bogged down by anything too menial. 

Despite having a very hectic afternoon, this morning I did manage to fit in a couple of hours to enjoy a super cute hot chocolate at a farm cafe in the middle of nowhere with my Mum, Uncle, Nanna, and Granddad. It was so nice to see people who mean the world to me and always help to make me feel better no matter what.

I'd love to know what your favorite things are-comment below and let me know!

MOTIVATIONAL MONDAY: MY LETTER TO A WORRIED MIND

Motivational Monday- #GRLPWR Quotes from One Reader to Another

As many of you know, every Monday I do a 'Motivational Monday' post hoping to bring some positivity to the start of your week, and give everyone a bit of 'food for thought' for the week ahead.

Last week I wrote this post called #FEMENISM, in which I discuss what the term means to me, and the importance of promoting equality, providing men and women with equal opportunities and chances in life.

I posted on Instagram asking for your thoughts and contributions for quotes to go hand in hand with this topic. I wanted to bring a wide range of perspectives into the conversation and have Girls inspiring each other.

Its so important as women that we build each other up, not knock each other down...we can do that quite well by ourselves thank you very much!

The response I got was incredible, thank you to everyone who contributed such amazing and powerful quotes.

So here's some Monday Motivation, by you to you.

Motivational Monday- If you can dream it you can do it

Every-time I publish one of these posts I cant believe its the start of another week. I can not believe that we are already in October...How did that happen?

Today I wanted to keep it short and sweet.  Often we are in such a rush to achieve our goals quickly that we loose sight of the small progress that we make, and the small but significant success's we achieve.

Progress doesn't happen overnight. We dont always see the results straight away, but that doesn't mean we should give up, or that we are not succeeding.

In fact making progress slowly means that you can learn so much as you go along.

Slow progress is the most sustainable. It allows you to make adjustments and improvements as you go, making the end results even better.

Comment below your goals, and what you hope to achieve this October!
So no matter what is going on in your life that you wish was happening faster, dont give up keep going, and enjoy the success when it comes .

10 things Disney Taught Us-Motivational Monday

As a huge Disney fan, I wanted to dedicate todays post to my top ten inspirational quotes from the Disney world. As children we are enwrapped in the stories and music of Disney, but there's so much we can learn from the films that go beyond our childhood comprehension.

It's important to remember our childhood dreams, to live in the moment and recognise whats truly important in the world.

 Here are my Top 10 Disney quotes; what are yours?

Motivational Monday-The expert in anything was once a beginner

Hello Lovelies!

I cant believe its Monday again, this month is whizzing by!

Today I wanted to share something I often forget, but think is so important to remember when you are just starting out in your early twenties.

I am one of those people who wants to achieve everything straight away. Whilst it means I am incredibly hardworking and determined, it also sometimes leaves me feeling as though I am not good enough because I'm not at the top of the game.

However, how can you get to that point without being given chances, making opportunities, and learning. It is so vital to remember that no-one was born into top roles and success. We dont often see the struggles people have gone through to get to where they are.

So here's a little reminder that everyone was once a beginner. With hard work, grit determination, and a lot of learning along the way, we will all find our places and become experts in what ever fields we choose.

What are your dreams and ambitions; what would you love to become an expert in?
