<<First Name>>, welcome to issue #7 of My Self Love Style!
Whoop, whoop!!!
Good morning and welcome to a hot off the press, new look version of Monday Motivation - if you missed my announcement email a few weeks ago you can access it by opening this email in your browser and clicking past issues!
One of my favourite Instagram girls is Meggan Grubb and something she always says is "if there's blue in the sky, there's no blue in the brain" and oh my word this is so true for me right now. As I'm writing this (it's a few days early admittedly as when you read this, I'll be just back from Barcelona), I'm sat looking out at the clear blue skies over head and soaking up all the vitamin D I can from my desk.
My heart is craving ice cream, fish & chips and walks on the beach ... but I guess Sangria and Tapas will fill the void in my life instead!
I've always said that Winter doesn't affect me, but clearly it does as I suddenly feel so much more energised and motivated thanks to the early appearance of Spring this year.
And although this good weather doesn't appear to be here to stay just yet, it's given me a great idea for how we can all Spring clean our minds and reignite our 'spark' this month;
Mindful March - 28 prompts to help you become more aware of the moment, yourself and your surroundings.
... And on that note I think it's time I gave you this months #MySelfLoveStyle theme, mindfulness.

I don't know if it is an 'age' thing or what, but over the past few years mindfulness has become an increasingly big part of my life.
So what is mindfulness?
To me it is all about being aware in the moment, of yourself and of your surroundings - learning to no longer take aspects of our lives for granted and becoming more grateful for the good in our everyday lives.
If you had told me in my late twenties how invested I would become in this lifestyle <<First Name>>, I would quite possibly have laughed in your face at the thought. I thought that gratitude and cosmic ordering was something that Noel Edmonds had made up to boost the Deal or No Deal viewing figures and that because I had worked hard for my little C2 that I had back then and the Kurt Gieger's on my feet that I didn't need to be grateful.
But the older and wiser I have become, I have learnt that there are some things that you really cannot take for granted; the 'rocks' you have in your life (parents, partners and those guys that have always got your backs), the roof over your head and the food on the table.
And I want to share my passion for mindfulness with you this March because practising it can really give your wellbeing a big boost and it can certainly help banish any Winter blues that you may still have clouding your brain.
That's why I have designed Mindful March for you all and below you can find your Mindful March prompts to help you become more aware, more grateful and more mindful this month ... I hope these give you as much inspiration as they have me.
I'd love to see how you are getting on with the prompts and follow your mindfulness journey - so make sure you add #MySelfLoveStyle to any pictures you put up on Instagram so that I can share some love with you ... who knows, you may just find yourself being the star of the next #MySelfLoveStyle!
Also I'll be sharing more thoughts on mindfulness over on the HarmonyBlaze.co.uk and on my Instagram too, so make sure you're following me on these / have me in your bookmarks so that you don't miss any exciting new content this month!

Although I always make sure I enjoy my holidays, often towards the last few days I start to feel a little guilty for enjoying myself a little too much...

I can't believe it's 6-months since I filmed our lil trip to Silverstone, but I have a Thailand roundup in the pipeline for this month so hit subscribe on the channel ...

And finally...
Another podcast recommendation for you all ... last month I discovered Happy Place by the wonderful Fearne Cotton, it's a wonderful way to wind down at the end of the day and get inspired by some of the UKs most well loved personalities!
