Aloha Sprinklerinos,
Do you ever have those days where all you can see in the world is the rubbish, negative and bad? I very rarely do because I try incredibly hard to keep my attitude positive, but a couple of times this last fortnight I've had little down moments. Nothing serious, just like we all do.
In those moments I turn to all the things that make me happy, like Baby Glitter, Matt, Downton Abbey, seeing and making new chums and if it's late at night....Pinterest!
More often than not I will find a fabulous piece of typography that puts it all into perspective and really lifts me. After thinking about this for a little while, I thought it might be fun if I shared some of my favourites with you and if you have a blog and fancied doing the same, then you are more than welcome to- it's interactive.
Please feel free to use this picture (photographed and edited by moi) in your post to explain the game, but do link it back here as it's credit.
Some pins that have cheered my soul and soothed my sorrows are:
All of these images are from my Pinterest Boards and all of them uplift me a little. I really love the way positive affirmations can make such a huge difference in your attitude and then have such a weighty impact up your day.
Naturally if you are going though something quite terrible, then these little happies might not be what you need, but if like me you just have a glum moment now and then and don't have several mint aeros in the house, then these do just the trick!
If you do decide to do this post on your blog, feel free to mention it in the comments so that we can all come check you out and find new fun typography art and also do please link back here so more people can find the game. Community at it's best :)
What do you do to boost your moods? Are you as keen on Pinterest as I am?
Toodlepip!

Lovely little images/quotes! Everyone needs a pick me up in some form at times :)

Loved it Louise. I'm a big fan of little quotes whether they are to make you happy or to inspire you. One of my favorites is "Perseverence is the hard work you do after you get tired of doing all the hard work you already did". That has kept me going through several of my hard times, hope it gives you something positive too.
ReplyDeleteI can definitely relate to the one body pin. I get so down some times. But pinterest really is a lovely place to find interesting things to distract you.

I so needed this! I love so many of the ones you chose, and I couldn't wait to add my own little sayings to this happy pot, so I have my post all up and ready to be published! I hope that if any of you do check it out, that you find something that resounds with you. I have been very fearful of the future lately, and sometimes a little saying is all you need to have things make sense. Such an inspiring idea for a community project, thanks Louise! xx

ReplyDeleteChocolate is the best form of happiness
ReplyDeleteI have a folder on my computer named inspiration and it is full of celebs/fashion icons who inspire me with a similar body type and style. Even though people say 'eurgh your so skinny' blah blah, who is always completely happy with there body?! Not me. Also in that folder are quotes and sayings too. :) At least it isn't just me haha. We all need a pick me up to remember who we are xo

Such a lovely idea for a blog post, I've been feeling exactly the same for the past few weeks, can't seem to see past all the gloomy things going on in the world, but these little quotes are always great for lifting your spirits :) May well find myself on Pinterest myself later today doing the same thing!

It look me a while to jump on the pinterest bandwagon, but i do love it. I like how you can box things up. Feeds into my little OCD traits perfectly!
ReplyDeleteAnd these quotes are truely uplifting ^_^ x
Afirmations really helps! You just need to believe in yourself and trust that everything is ok. I'll do my own post very soon. If you're healthy and happy everything is going to the way you want. Think positive, forget everything else. <3<3 Happiness is beautiful.

Love your attitude Louise.....I try to "Get Happy" myself as much as I can ......dont always succeed but then who does (:
ReplyDeleteEvery morning I say to myself....Just for today.....I am going to live as if all my dreams have come true......
Heres the poem I wrote about this :
http://www.happinessnlove.com/2011/11/just-for-today.html
This post is so inspiring/uplifting! It's so true that words of wisdom/encouragement/quotes can make you feel better or realise that things WILL be ok! I always try and incorporate that in my life! And I agree, pintrest and tumblr are the best places for inspiring images :)
