Some Monday Motivation!

Share this post!

I’m super excited about today because it’s Monday! Yes, I said it, I’m excited about Monday because…“I got shit to do”!

What about you?

Achieving our goals is not easy! And trust me I have had some many distractions and personal problems that I had to over come to stick to my ultimate goal of “Living My Best Life” for me!

The most important word in the phrase “Live your best life” is “your.” Strip away the Instagram filters and look at your own values objectively and with honesty. Figure out what’s most important to you, what matters on an achievable level, and go from there. What do you need to do to be satisfied with your life? Once you’ve figured that out, set some goals. Hate your busy city life? Then make time on the weekends to escape to the country. Don’t reap energizing rewards from your job? Do something about it. Take tiny steps to inject things you like into your workplace, set new goals, talk to your boss about new responsibilities, or look for something new. Take a class, learn a skill, take up a new sport or hobby — everything is within your control.

Take chances, take risks, try to appreciate the things you do have, and surround yourself with people that bring out the best in you. Sometimes our happiest moments are among the most mundane made special by those they’re shared with. Don’t hinge your happiness on things you think will impress others — that’s not living your best life, that’s only living someone else’s idea of it.

LIVE YOUR LIFE FOR YOU!
