Happy Monday! Thanks for taking the time to stop by and visit us here at It's a Classical Life! For those of you who are new here, every Monday I try and offer some bitesize inspiration to start the week - a quote generally - and unlike my other posts, I try not to ramble on too much about it! It's simply there to inspire and get you thinking.
This week I am dedicating all posts to the wonderful children's writer and illustrator, Beatrix Potter. I couldn't believe I hadn't showcased her work here before, so I set out to rectify that! There will be today's Bitesize Inspiration, a free downloadable word search on Friday and another post next Saturday. I hope you will come back and appreciate the wonderful world of Beatrix Potter!
What I love most about this quote is the idea of reframing our thoughts and looking upon something that we may not be keen to do as an adventure. Sometimes my children tell me that they are anxious or nervous about something. I remind them that sometimes, excitement can have the same feeling as nervousness, and maybe they should try and think of it in those term. Instead of saying, I'm nervous, try, I'm excited! (Disclaimer: My children don't have anxiety issues on a concerning scale, so I'm not worried suggesting they reframe their thoughts this way. I probably wouldn't be so cavalier if they were suffered from nervous disorders). I think we can be quick these days to view something new or different in a negative light. When we can, why not take a leaf out of Potter's book and think of it as an adventure?
Have a wonderful, week and don't forget to pop by later in the week for more Potter fun!
