You know when you begin to just plod along in life where everything is okay but nothing of much excitement goes on? That's when life needs shaking up a bit! Since coming back to uni after exams there hasn't been a whole lot going on, I often find myself focusing on the negatives and not really letting myself thrive and enjoy life the way I know I should and this makes me sad. For this reason I've decided to focus on the positives and the little things that cheer me up.
The main thing I have done to give myself the boost I need is to book a weekend away. My fiance and I always talk about going away but we don't often get round to booking things. When I have something in the not too distant future to look forward to it always puts a spring in my step, makes all the work feel somehow worthwhile. We have booked to go away to Thirsk and stay in a log cabin lodge with its own hot-tub. We have been talking about coming here for SO long so I'm so excited to have it booked. We don't go until March but I'm already counting down! How cosy and perfect!? I will probably post about our time there after we come back :)

The next thing I have decided has been something I have wanted to do for a long time but I haven't got round to for one reason or another and that is having a proper exercise routine. At one point last year I got into a great routine and it made me feel fab! If anything booking this weekend away may just be the push I need to get the fitness going (hot-tub bikini!!!) so starting next week it is all going down. I feel as though when you exercise, as well as making you feel great about yourself, it also gives you a feeling of accomplishment which we all need to keep us upbeat. I have recently got myself into a really great eating healthy routine and this will just compliment it perfectly! I have devised a do-able routine the I know won't be too straining and will fit in with my uni timetable so I have no excuses!
The last thing I have down to cheer myself up is of course some retail therapy! It had been too long since I treated myself to anything new in the clothes department so when I recieved my parcel in the mail I was very excited. Although I didn't order anything too exciting (poor student) it is always just nice to have something new to wear. Asos always hits the spot when it comes to retail therapy!
And don't forget about the little things, sitting down with a hot cup of tea, watching your favourite TV program, sitting by the fire, cooking your favorite meal, taking a hot relaxing bath, burn a candle or seeing a loved one. These are all sure fire ways to perk up your day in some small way.
So if you're feeling a bit glum right now, do something about it. What excites you? What makes you happy? Go do it x
