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

Merry Blogmas Day 4 lovelies!

Today is Monday and I am continuing my #MotivationalMonday Series to bring you my favorite inspirational Christmas Film Quotes-from the likes of ELF, The Grinch, The Santa Clause, and The Holiday! 

The afternoons are now non-existent, hello pitch black at 3.30. The cold is officially here, and we still have work, plus the added pressure of buying and wrapping gifts and writing and sending christmas cards. Christmas is meant to be the most wonderful time of the year, but boy can it be stressful! (Read last weeks post if you want to know my tips on dealing with stress at this time of year!) 

So here are some uplifting motivational christmas quotes to get you feeling in the mood for some christmas cheer. 

Motivational Monday-The Importance of Following Your Heart

Happy Monday lovelies!

Hope everyone has had a fab week?

Firstly, can we talk about how weird the weather was in the UK today...
I was in BRIGHTON with my friends this morning when we got a message from Bath where the red sky hit first. Laughing at the random OMG the sun is ORANGE, WHATS GOING ON!? messages-we were thinking yup the sun has always been orange 'that is a thing...'
I was on the train home when I actually noticed that the sky genuinely was really weird, like something out of an Apocalypse, or a sunset gone wrong.
So I took this picture on my walk home at 2 PM, to try and capture the uniqueness of it all, it looks as though the sun is setting in the evening!

ANYWAY...

The point of today's post is to remind everyone to follow their hearts. SO often, we are following our heads, logic, or what other people believe is right without us realising, which can lead us into areas of life that maybe our hearts just arent in.

Sometimes, a path can be right for a while, but then we change, our whole sense of being shifts and what used to make us feel content no longer does.

It can be so easy to stick at routine, just because;
Why change something when its so easy to carry on, even if it isnt making you feel happy?

So here are a few questions I try and ask myself frequently, in order to make sure I am ALWAYS following my heart, and staying as happy as I possibly can.

Who do you want to be?

What do you want to achieve?

Are you being true to yourself?

Is it making you happy?

If I can answer all these questions and be honestly happy with the outcome, knowing the path I'm on is leading me in the right direction, thats great.

If not, I change something.

Whether big or small, I find staying true to my heart and always finding the best outcome in any situation keeps me positive motivated and at peace with myself.

When I'm happy I can focus my time on making others happy too and that fills my heart.

Are you the type of person who follows their heart or their head? 
What changes can you make this week no matter how BIG or small to make you that little bit more content? 

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.
