☺ Motivational Mondays! ☺

We're taking back Mondays!!!

"Motivational Mondays" are fabulous tips to get you excited and pumped for the week! 

Feeling low? Moody? Down on life? Well, that's what these posts are for! Time to feel awesome again and get some Positivity rolling! Just because it's Monday doesn't mean you can't have fun, smile, and enjoy Today! Apply these tips to your week and try to tell me that you don't start to see an improvement in your life! ;)

It's all about You! Change your perception, change your attitude, love your life! xo

Whoa! Christmas eve! And New Years is sneaking up! Where does the time go?! 

Anyway, I'll be taking a couple much needed days off to relax and be merry, but I couldn't leave without giving you a quick Motivational Mondays post. ;) 

☺ Just Keep Smiling! Because that's what the holidays are supposed to be about! There may be ups and downs, quarrels with families, and so forth, but just keep that smile on your face and you'll find yourself having a good time! :)   

☺ Be extra Kind! Take a little time to perform random acts of kindness, tis the season after all! There are so many others in need, and so many ways to spread a little extra joy into someone else's life. So go do it, whether it be big or small, no action is too small!  

☺ Give Gifts! To five random people. This doesn't have to be anything extravagant, hell it can be super tiny, but the thought behind the action will go a long way! Walk down the street and just hand out a few gifts to people and wish them well.  

☺ … And Breaaaaathe… It's so easy to so caught up in the chaos of the holidays but now is the time to just relax and enjoy yourself. If you're not doing that then you're doing something wrong and missing the point of getting together with friends and family. Breathe! And relax! Take time to just sit and relax and observe the joy around you.  

☺ In case you missed it…  Read up the article I wrote last year (and have repinned to the top of the blog) on how to survive and add joy to the holidays: http://www.reloveplanet.com/2011/12/making-holidays-magical-stress-free.html

☺ Release Expectations! We often have this image in our heads of how the Holidays, or Christmas, are going to be. You know, images of that perfect holiday get together. Well, things happen, bumps happen, and you can't create a perfect moment by forcing it. Perfect moments come from releasing expectations, not getting attached to one particular idea or outcome, and learning to go with the flow and enjoy whatever comes. So enjoy whatever comes, go with the flow, and, oh yeah, Smiiiile! ;) ♥

☺ Remember it's just a day. Christmas day (if you celebrate it) is really just a day. It's a day like every other day of the year. So don't hold it up on a pedestal, don't let yourself down, don't get bummed out if you can't celebrate with friends or family that particular day. There 364 other days of the year for you to spread joy, smile, and spend time with loved ones. It's just a day. Enjoy it, but don't get attached. ;)  

I wish you all a very Happy Christmas and Holiday season, however you are celebrating--or not celebrating. 

Much Love from me to you! 

Create a Nice Day! xo
