Mid-Morning Motivation

Hey there !

Do you ever have days where you're just feeling a lil bit rubbishy like you lost a bit of your sparkle ? I definitely have these days a lot and i used to take the opportunity to be sad all day and just have a wasted day for no real reason. But I do not like wasting days. I like to be productive , full of good energy and have that bit of sparkle that makes the day seem brighter. So me and my friend started doing something we call Mid-Morning Motivation.

Whenever one of us has woken up and is feeling pretty rubbish for no particular reason or is just having a difficult morning, we go through Pinterest to look for uplifting quotes and motivation that we then send to whoever is having a difficult day at about 11am as a little surprise to lift there spirits :)

It takes less than five minutes and even just knowing that someone cares enough to send you something just to send you something just to make you smile, might be enough to pick them ( and their day ) back up !

Here's a few examples that you could use that I've made myself : 

I do this for my friends regularly so from now on I'll be posting the Mid-Morning Motivation onto my twitter for anybody else who needs that extra boost in the morning !

What do you think ? And what quotes motivate you ?

Stay Strong <3 Stay Smiley :)

A Metaphorical Kick up the Butt !

Helloo

I haven't really sat down and just had a chat since I moved from my previous blog to this blog, because if I'm completely honest with you, I'm not sure how I want to present myself on this blog yet. But today I realised that that doesn't matter as much as just sitting down, writing and hopefully helping someone. DontBurstMyBubbleXx has always been about spreading positivity to try and add a little extra sunshine into the world . I tried to keep this new blog nice and ordered with plenty of structure because that's how I've been trying to arrange my life at the minute. But that's just not how my mind is, and that's not how my writing is. And because of trying to make my world fit into a nice little labelled box with a nice bow on it that screams perfect .. I've lost all of my silver linings and that , that is something I'm not okay with.

 When I started writing originally, I just wanted to share my silver linings with other people in an attempt to help them. Now I need to find them again . With the stress of exams, friends, not friends, life and everything in-between I didn't even notice the positivity in my life slipping away ! When I realised the other week that I was unhappy and that this was a massive contributor. I found that finding the good things in the bad was a lot harder when you're out of practise !

So I started a little notebook where I'm writing in one good thing that happens every single day . No matter how crappy it is there's always something. I'd forgotten that . But now, I'm determined to get back to reminding myself and everyone else that yes it might be really, really REALLY crap and I'm sorry about that, honestly I am and I hope it gets better soon but I guarantee no matter what happened today, something good also happened today ! If you start a notebook like mine and write in one thing each day. Yes, It will be difficult at first. But within literally like three days, that's it ! It begins to get way easier than you think and then you can start applying the ability to look for the good in all situations to more and more aspects of your life.

I'm sorry If this has been a little ( a lot ) of me just rambling on today but I really wanted to just get this out there because I've had a bit of a metaphorical kick up the butt . I didn't know how much I needed it because I completely forgot how nice it was to see good everywhere, but I needed it and I hope it helps you out too :)

Share one good thing about today in the comments. Even if it's been a really bad day . Actually especially if it's been a really bad day... then you need it most !

I hope you're a having a lovely day wherever you're finding that loveliness  ,

Stay Strong <3 Stay Smiley :)

Lots of Love,
