New Year, New Attitude

It's a new year...and ain't life grand? It's weird how much a "new year" can totally change one's mindset, motivation and overall mood. For example, yesterday I had to work. "Last year" I was hating on the fact I had to work on the first day of the 2012 while everyone else basked in a lovely long weekend. Woe is me, were my very thoughts. However, yesterday, I went to work feeling positive, I did hours of mundane tasks without one single groan and I cleaned up and out my desk; a task that I had put off for all of 2011. I felt completely different being a work, in comparison to how I felt only a few days before...definitely a good thing.

The daily grindstone starts tomorrow, and of course I would prefer to be chilling at home for eternity, but instead of hating on the fact it all starts again, I am remaining positive and actually looking forward to making this the ultimate year for me and everyone within in it, so obviously being a sorry sad sack in the corner isn't really an option.

This afternoon I have spent the last few hours doing a bit of a home spa from head to toe. I have used a gazillion products, including the "special" ones I bought in London that I rarely use as you can't get them here...because you know, them going off in the cupboard is more worthy of their use than me? Pfft...sometimes I honestly don't understand my thought process it's just so funny, ahhh anyways, my skin feels amazing and is truly glowing. So you know what? I have made the decision that this is going to be my new Sunday afternoon tradition. I am going to pamper myself silly every Sunday, take the time to blow dry my hair, choose my outfit for Monday and get ready for the week ahead rather than mope about the fact that my weekend is nearing the end. :) xx
