Inspire Me Monday # 3 April, 2019


We all kind of hate Mondays but what if we look at Mondays as a fresh start and as an opportunity to set a new tone for the rest of the week? Maybe we just need a change of mindset to stop feeling so awful on Mondays. 

Inspire me Mondays are about sharing with a film, a song,  a quote, a book, a photo, and a blog that are inspiring me currently. 

Inspire Me Mondays was supposed to be a weekly post but for the time being I will make it a monthly one as it sometimes takes me a month to finish up a book or watch a new film.

So here we go, let's make it inspiring

INSPIRE ME FILM



"Mary Poppins Returns" (2018) is a sequel to the beloved Walt Disney children's musical fairytale.

The magical nanny Mary Poppins returns to help the next generation of the Banks family and to look after the kids while their father is struggling to raise his three kids after the loss of their mother. He is facing the threat to lose their family house as he is unable to pay the loan.

The whimsical nanny, who descends on a kite, uses her magical powers to help the children recover from their mother's loss through imagination. But her biggest mission is bound to be saving the house. 


INSPIRE ME SONG 



This song is about women empowerment, about a strong woman who's walking out of pain, disgrace and sadness when the one she loves so much takes her soul and breaks it.

The message behind this song says: "Don't break love but don't let love break you".


INSPIRE ME QUOTE




INSPIRE ME BOOK - "Who Moved My Cheese?"



This 96-page book by Dr Spencer Johnson may be the shortest book you may have read. This short and simple story will only take you a couple of hours but it may change your mindset to life and to the constant changes happening in it.

The four characters are Sniff , Scurry (who are mice) Hem and Haw (who are littlepeople). They look for a cheese in the maze where they live.

Cheese is used metaphorically as something we look for in our lives which is always changing.
The maze represents the place where we spend time looking for happiness or what we want.

Sniff and Scurry stand for the simple and instinctive parts of us who anticipate change early by sniffing it out and quickly scurrying into action and adapts.

Hem and Haw stand for complex parts of us who deny and resist change out of fear and who learn to adapt the changes in the course of the time.

INSPIRE ME BLOG



I first started following Bettie on Instagram. Her positivity and daily posts immediately caught my attention and interest. But when I read her blog posts, I immediately realized that she is a blogger I want to keep up with. 
No matter what she writes about: book/movie reviews, food/fitness or lifestyle, she is always down to earth and inspiring.
