#MonthlyMotivation : Making Time!

I'm the first to admit that i can be the world worst for making time, whither it be for a friend or a task I can easily find an excuse as why not to do something not enough time, to tired, whats the point ect. But what I am really excusing myself from is the chance to have fun, be productive, make memories.

In August I set out to start saying yes to more things (and not just more shifts) things that I knew before I would say no to (or the dreaded maybe and drag it out a few days before the no) And learned quickly that the only person standing in my way of having a good time was myself (and a few shifts).

So make time for your friends, go out with your friends after work, revel in £1 vodkas and surround yourself in laughter even if its just for an hour or two. That girls day you've been meaning to have, have it! even if its Wednesday if it works it works.  Keep meaning to get in touch with an old friend shoot them a text, meet up if you can, you'll remember why you were friends after ten minutes.

Make time for your family, have coffee with your gran, dinner with your dad, have long chats and a drink with your Mum, you will feel better once you have.

Make time for all the things you have been putting off, eyebrow waxes, filing paperwork, gym classes.

Make time for yourself, draw a bath and prop your laptop up a bubble bath and an episode of your favourite show and suddenly the whole world will feel right!

did i say make time enough... just live your best life x

#MusicMonday: Anyway - Kerrigan & Lowdermilk

Music Monday's choice this week is a song that I have been listening to the last few months, I stumbled upon it whilst watching youtube videos and then proceeded to download some of albums from the musical geniuses  that are Kerrigan & Lowdermilk, they have written what seem to be my favourite songs from the last few month.

Anyway is a beautifully composed, skilfully written song. The emotion behind each word is real and you can feel it, especially in renditions sung by Lauren Samuels, Emma Hunton and Grace Bydalek.

Its so cleverly written a story that you feel you are in the journey of. With so many twists, and reality thrown in.

Currently my go-to shower song, trust me you will want to sing along as well.
