Getting Focused This January | Monki Co-ord

Jacket - Monki / Skirt - Monki

I've just got off the phone with my dad and he asked me how I was feeling in myself at the moment. A pleasant way of asking how depressed I was feeling basically. I just replied well it's January it's not a very jolly month anyway. Truth be told I didn't really know how to answer his question. I have my good days and I have my bad days. There is just something about January which does get me down, cold + dark days, commuting, not having much to look forward to being the main reason. I feel like I'm blaming a lot of my feelings on the month and think as soon as it turns to February 1st I miraculously going to be happy again. When I know in actual fact that won't be the case. 

I am however trying to do things for myself without always taking in everyone else opinions and be a bit more selfish I suppose. I feel like this week in particular I've really tried to say yes to things (e.g. like going to events after work, when normally I would just want to go home straight away and hide from the world). I'm using these little things to help me focus and work out what I need to do in order to achieve them. 

I find at the beginning of the week if I make a to-do list, it helps me with what I want to achieve and can take little steps in order to get there. So here's to say fuck you brain, I got this.

Another top tip to make your week better, is where cute co-rd like this set from Monki!
