I first did this post last month, where I wrote about 50 Things That Make Me Happy. I had such great feedback from so many of my lovely readers, that I’ve decided to make this a monthly addition to the blog but in order to shake it up a bit, and make it different to my original post, I’m going to focus on the particular things making me happy this month.

I’m going through a transition period at the moment, and in times like this, my anxiety levels can become high, I’ve begun to notice it slowly creeping in over the last few weeks so in order for it not to overwhelm me, I need to surround myself with nothing but positivity and mindfulness.

So in order to help me do that, and to spread the Monday Motivation love in general, here’s a list of 50 things that are making me happy this month…

It’s amazing how easily it is to smile when you sit down and write out all the things that make you happy. So often we focus on the negative aspects of life just because it’s easier to do that. Negativity is such a powerful feeling and it’s not always easy to banish it from your mind. But this definitely helps!

Happy Monday all… What’s making you happy today?
