There's lot of talk about Blue Monday being the most depressing day of the year but I'm taking a different approach. After following on from my word for 2014, I have collected a few images to help me through the day and inspire good things.
1. Just get on with it, don't hesitate/procrastinate.
2. Know what's coming up and plan your time.
3. Book in fun cocktail time with friends.
4. Think about what you want in the future
5. Always start the day with a good coffee.
What inspires you?

ReplyDeleteI'm using my jar and just taking little steps.
Thanks. I love the Get Shit Done, it has definitely given me the kick I needed x
DeleteTaking my dog for a walk in the countryside every day inspires me. Cocktails always go down well too - love the pencils picture!

DeleteOh loving the pictures!
ReplyDeleteThanks :)
DeleteI love all of the pictures!
ReplyDeleteThanks. I'm hoping to buy the Lunar Calendar, it would look great framed n the wall. x
Deletelove these, but I'm not feeling blue today, a cosy snuggly day with my little boy could never be sad :)
ReplyDeleteGlad you're not feeling blue! Snuggles are the best for sure. I've had a cold so have been snuggling F most of the day x
DeleteI had no idea it was blue monday! thankfully I've got to half five and feeling ok so far! we were at gym tots this morning and thought of you :) x

DeleteGreat pictures to get you motivated! I can see why it is called blue monday - I hate this time of year when the excitement of Christmas is over and you are getting back to the normal routine. I haven't had a sad day though as my little ones have been keeping me entertained!
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you've been having a fun year so far :) I feel very positive for 2014 x

ReplyDeletehaha I'm glad you like, I think I should get the Get Shit Done pic and have it hanging above my desk as a reminder :) x
DeleteLove the pictures.
ReplyDeleteMy boss used to say JFDI - always makes me chuckle and stops me procrastinating!
I think it's a good saying, a lot less procrastinating would definitely be good this end x
Deletei love these images great post! I hate proscrastinators lol
ReplyDeleteThanks, I think less hesitation, more fun will certainly ring true for 2014 x
DeleteI've never heard of blue Monday but I hate all Mondays ;-)
ReplyDeletelol, since being at home with F I don't mind Mondays too much but I used to hate them when I worked full time in an office x
DeleteThe The Futures bright tape inspires me! I find blog posts inspire me, especially those on creativey blogs like yours.
ReplyDeleteOh I am such a creep, but I did mean it!
lol thanks! I do love a good blog post too, they really make you want to go and do stuff. Even if it's just making every day life a little bit more beautiful x
DeleteCoffee is my petrol (until I detox) so hear hear. But what is rocking my boat or my world at the moment is waking up to a shiny sink everyday, thanks to a tip from Hannah at New Addition Blog who put me onto the Fly Lady xx
ReplyDeleteI do LOVE coffee :) I'll have to check out the tip! x
DeleteI might make that first pic my desktop image! My Monday wasn't as productive as I'd hoped but I am determined to achieve a lot this week.
ReplyDeleteI was hoping to get loads done today too but as I have a cold I'm struggling a little. i'll be back on it though, just like you determined to make this week productive x
DeleteMore like blue tuesday here, but this has picked me up a tad. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteBoo, sorry to hear your Tuesday was blue. I suggest picking a good book/film/music to do and drink wine/coffee/green tea/water/juice and then snuggle on the sofa – delete as appropriate ;) x
