Uplifting inspirational quotes (with free on-trend printables!)

Inspirational quotes are more than just self-help mumbo jumbo. They are powerful reminders of what we are capable of when we put our mind to it. They help us to lift ourselves out of repetitive, unproductive thought patterns and they help us stay focused on our goals.
Here is a collection of my top ten favourite quotes, from the genius Albert Einstein himself, through to the dazzling poet Walt Whitman. Print out your favourite and frame it, stick it to the fridge or save it as your lock screen.
Hot tip!
If you can’t decide which one you love best, a great idea is to grab a clipboard, print them all out and display the one you are feeling most that day. That way it’s super easy to switch them up and, honestly, you’ll be even more engaged with them as you decide which one speaks to you most. I love this designer lightweight clipboard from Amazon which has a handy retractable hook. You can hang it somewhere you pass often, the last thing you see as you leave the house, or just lean it against the wall on your bookshelf or mantle. Super easy!
