The beginning of a new year means a fresh start for everyone. I began my new year with a new name for my blog: Endless Bliss. With this new name, I'm excited to dedicate more of my time to my little corner of the internet and hopefully inspire my readers. One way that I want to do that is by starting a series called "Motivated Mondays." Every Monday, I'll post something motivational to start your week (and mine) off positively, including songs, quotes, stories, pictures, etc.

For the first week, I want to share 5 inspirational songs to help get you through your day.  "Fighters" by Kris Allen This is the perfect song to listen to when you feel like you've been fighting an uphill battle. It talks about how, no matter what you've been going through, you're stronger than it, and you were born to fight it. "Dare You to Move" by Switchfoot This song is perfect for when you've made a decision that you regret. It talks about facing our regrets head-on, instead of hiding from them, and moving on from them. It dares you to move on from them, and not get boggled down by your mistakes.  "Good Life" by OneRepublic I love this song. It's just a feel-good song about living it up. Live every moment like it's your last. No matter how old you are, you still have life to live, so make it a good one. "New Tomorrow" by A Friend in London This song has the perfect message for youth today, and, in my opinion, expresses how everyone should try to live their lives. Don't worry about fame or what other people think about you. Use your voice. Express yourself. Be you, not who everybody wants you to be. And just do something. Something meaningful. Change the future. "Here's to Us" by Halestorm I think a lot of adults can relate to this song. And it does have some explicit language in it, but I like how it's used. It's about just sitting back and remembering all of the hard times you faced and how you were able to get through them. Helping me kick off Motivated Mondays, is one of this month's sponsors, Bailey from Becoming Bailey!

Hi! I'm Bailey from Becoming Bailey. I started my blog when I realized my time in college was winding down; there was so much I wanted to remember but already began to forget. Since then, I've graduated college and joined the real world. Join me on my crazy adventure in a new city as I begin my career. If you're new to Becoming Bailey, you'll want to check out these posts: 15 travel tips from my vacation, The time I stalked a celebrity, and What life is like as a triplet.

What's something you like to do to put yourself in a better mood?

I listen to upbeat music and light a candle. There's no problem that a pretty candle can't solve!

Who's your go-to person to talk to when you need some extra motivation?

My mom. She has a blunt personality, so if I need to get motivated she is great at pushing me to get a move on.

What's your comfort food?

Pizza. I could easily eat pizza all day, every day.

What makes you happy?

There are so many things that make me happy, I could write an entire book. I love sunny days, Burger King Frozen Cokes, chocolate chip cookies, and lemonade, among other things.

Don't forget to go check out Bailey's blog, and follow her on Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram, and Facebook!

I hope you enjoyed the first week of "Motivated Mondays!" Have a good one.
