Monday Mantra #2



When starting something new or doing some differently from the norm we always strive to see results, and quick. Even the little things from drinking more water to help our skin, if its been a week and things are still not great in the moisture department we throw in the towel. That is me down to the ground. Take this blog for instance. In the short time I've been blogging I've loved every minute of it but at the moment all I've been focusing on is seeing my page views and followers increase. Each day I check the daily view count and get disheartened when its only just got into double figures, something that I really need to snap out of. These things take time and patience, and at the moment all I need focus on is the enjoyment of getting my thoughts into blog posts. Reading Lipgloss and Lashes blogging advice really made me see that as long as you put the effort in to make things work it will all fall into place.

Do you even think about giving up? What keeps you going?

Monday Mantra #1


Waiting. A lot of the time I feeling like all I do is wait. I wait for offers for a bite to eat with friends, rather than being the one to make the date. I wait for for the latest deals to ping into my inbox rather than going out to seek them. During one of my far too regular Pinterest sessions I came across this quote that really hit home. Why should I wait for things to come to me, I need to get up and make these things happen!

For quite some time I've been thinking about starting a qualification at work that would really help in the future, nervously I've been waiting for somebody to approach me but with my new found motivation I am going to swim out to that ship and make it happen. The only person holding me back is me - what have I got to lose!
