Wednesday marks two years since I first began my Monday Blues series and since I haven't posted one in many moons, I thought I'd revive it! Here are some inspirational nuggets that I keep in a file I turn to whenever I'm having a de-fabulous (a saying my best friend and I have used for years, long story) day.
Are you ready for some serious motivation? You either are, or you aren't - it's all down to you. The power of the mind is phenomenal... it's all about that Positive Mental Attitude, baby!
I implore you to print this and stick it in your 2015 diary, or make it your desktop background. You wouldn't believe the wonders it does!

I read this article on Oprah's website ages ago (before I even began blogging) and it has stuck with me ever since.

Likewise, if you have a goal, don't wait for January or Monday to start - get the ball rolling, live in the now. When I started my blog, it was December 2012 and my new year's resolution was to create one. Within an hour my head was brimming with ideas and I was wondering what the hell I was waiting for... by January 1st, I had already written six posts and was in the groove!
