How to make Monday's not so bad.

Okay, so Monday's have this negative stigma, and I understand why. You have two great days off for the weekend to unwind and relax, then Monday comes around and you have to force yourself back in to the early morning routines and have nothing to look forward to until the following weekend. So let's change that! Here are my tips to make Monday's not so bad (and any other day of the week)!

Firstly plan your weeks in advance, if you are occupied in the day between a certain time (work, school, other commitments) then plan something to do after! It doesn't need to be anything eccentric just something enjoyable;

Go for a walk or drive, go somewhere you love to explore or somewhere you've never explored before. Take a camera and take photos, get inspired. You could go alone or with friends/family/your dog. Arrange to go over to someones house or invite them to yours for a catch up. Go out for dinner or drinks. Plan to bake something you can devour. Go to the cinema, is there a film you've wanted to see for a while? Read, get so involved in a book that you forget about your own life. Get creative, write, paint, draw. Tidy, maybe not the most relaxing option but it keeps you occupied and theres no better feeling after everything's clean!

Great flat lode, Cornwall. The great flat lode is a public pathway of loads of mines left in their natural form over a few miles. It's a great place to go to explore or unwind and there are informative posts explaining what each one was used for!

Getting creative experimenting with my watercolour pens, I have a degree in Art so it's fun to go back to it now and again!
