Lifestyle: "YES" |

I find that once in awhile i get those times in my life where i feel like i want to shut myself away from everyone just to have abit of 'me' time. I find that having this personal time on my own i can have some thinking time away from everything and will help to change my mood. I was reminiscing a few days ago about when i was little and how carefree everything was. Everything that i learned was all so new and exciting - i loved that feeling. The feeling of discovering something new maybe a new hobby or something i was really good at. This reflection so to speak has been something i have thought about abit especially with my birthday coming up i feel like i should be about 80 as i much prefer a cosey night in!! Where is my zest for life gone???.....The word 'No' and me have had a constant battle lately as im feeling unmotivated and lacking fun so i decided to myself that i need to change this to the word 'Yes' - i should be saying Yes to alot more things. 

'So many people go through life and work convinced that there is only one path open to them. That makes it true, because they never try anything else. But the world is a huge, glorious experiment, not a set of rules to be followed and boxes to the checked. How much you are willing to join in that experiment is up to you. The closer that you stick to the same script, the less you will discover about what might be even better. What holds most people back is fear of losing what they already have, however imperfect it might be. Just remember that you are in control of the experiment. You can try a little change as easily as a huge one' - (Love this from reading an article, huge motivation)

What do you want to say yes to more often?

Looking on the brightside......

Lately i have been loving lifestyle posts not that i am getting bored with beauty or fashion far from it but i enjoy reading about things that make you think outside of the box in a way. My situation at the moment is a very stressful one and in a way this post is therapeutic to me writing this all and being able to look back at it but also a little pick me up for you lovelies :). Lately ive been feeling so down and anxious majority of the time and its getting to the point where i dont want to do anything. I just want to curl up in a ball , now i reckon most people out there will agree that at some points in your life you may have felt like this. I tend to get like this when im feeling really stressed. So i was thinking about ways to get me out of this phase and to have a more positive outlook.

* Reading wisdom or inspiration stories/quotes. Ive found lately by reading these sorts of things they really help to put things into perspective and pick me up leaving me to get back on the happy wagon!! 

*Being spontaneous. The other day i went to the cinema last minute and honestly you may think reading this oh my god shes easy to please but it just made me get out of this low point for 2 hours and i really enjoyed it. If you don’t allow some spontaneous moments into your life, a mindless routine will start to get really old and wear on you. "The most creative individuals are also the most spontaneous thinkers and carefree adventurers".

*Start Accepting Stop Expecting.  Accept people and situations the way they are. No-one and no situation is perfect. Accept them anyways. Love your friends, love your situation, love every little thing about your self and your life. In accepting we stop expecting. Expectation only brings about sadness and regret. Both not very happy times. No expectation means no regret, no sadness. 

Ive found that these three things have started to help me slowly to get back into me again and i will continue to try and think positive :) 

Do you like reading inspiration or lifestyle posts? :)

Today is different....

I am not a morning person whatsoever. I love the days where i can just have a lie in and be lazy (dont we all?) Today is no different but it is...... I woke up just lying in bed thinking what am i doing? Im healthy and im alive, should i be wasting the day? NO. Go do something productive or make a difference!!... 

Reading the news i hate. Its heartbreaking to read of young people murdered or have been captured. What is the world coming to? Last year i was in a very dark place which i am hoping that sometime this year i will be able to share it with you all and make a different to at least one person but as of now it is too soon. But from that experience i wish that i had read a blog that really captured the start of the day on a positive and made me want to make something of the day. Time is so precious no one can predict the future what will happen but we can live for today.

I came across some of these amazing quotes that really motivated and inspired me so i thought i would share them with you all. 

Make something of your day :)

Are you going to make a difference?

Love Emily xx
