Motivational Monday


           

   Sometimes you just need go shopping, lol,   So today I went to get my haircut to help my week get off to a good start.  I really don't like going to the beauty shop because you have usually have to pay $15 or higher.  And don't mention to me about Great Clips, lol, I will not go there anymore.  That's    another story in itself. Anyways, I got about 1 1/2 cut off this time and it feels a little lighter and bouncier.  A good haircut will make you feel a little happier.

   Then I went to Dunkin Donuts and to a local store called, Bargain Hunt.  I found a storage bin for $15 and a set of oil paints for $8! I was so excited.  Now I get to pretend I'm on the Bob Ross show.  I can't exactly pretend I'm Bob Ross, so I 'll just say pretend like I'm on the show.  Oh well,   What do you do on Mondays to get Motivated for the upcoming week? 

   You don't have to answer here, but sometimes just doing something nice for yourself will help you feel better.  You don't have to have anyone else to help you feel motivated,  it's really up to us.   I keep thinking about those little birds on our front porch.  I see the babies flying around every once in a while, and can't help to think I got to help raise them.  :) :) :)  

  Anyways  I hope you have a great week !! 


Is This the Place?

 If this is not a place where tears are understood?
Where do I go to cry?
If this is not a place where my spirit can take wing--
where do I go to fly?
If this is not a place where my questions can be asked--
where do I go to seek?
If this is not a place where my feelings can be heard--
Where do I go to speak?
If this is not a place where you can accept me as I am--
Where do I go to be?
If this is not  a place where I try and learn and grow--
Where do I go to be me?

Food For Thought

A journaling topic that Kim Erickson suggests is as following, " Write some things that happened this week that got in the way of your having a joyful day."   Well,  honestly, I could sit down forever and talk about this topic.  It's these kind of affirmations that have really gotten me through the day.  I wish I had known about them when I was younger.  Middle School and High school might have been a little easier.  However, I never really had any bullies attack me then.  At that time, the only real bully was my inner-self.  I stayed positive and always tried to keep my mind on God and things that do not concern this world.  Happy places, quiet places, and dreaming about far off worlds usually kept my mind busy.   That is how it is today as well, but sometimes, having a reminder every now and then doesn't hurt.   Not everyone is going to be your friend, and not every one is going to send positive vibes.  Sometimes you have to do it yourself, you have to wake up thi

for Thursday

s   I have been reviewing products for a while now.  I usually try to pick items that I actually want to use on a day to day basis.  Excitingly, this is one of the recent items I earned in exchange for an honest", unbiased", opinion.  My opinion is that it is "awesome!"     I will use this bag every time I go to the gym to workout.  Of course, my definition of "working out," is not the same as everyone else's definition yet, but I am stepping  higher each time.  Having fancy gym attire is not required, but definitely very, very helpful.    I am sure that people will eventually get tired of hearing about this bag, I am proud to own it.  I would have paid the full amount for this bag.  It has many, many pockets and a place for your water bottle as well.  It not only can be used as a gym bag, but as a travel bag also.  I love the length of the shoulder strap.  The best part about the shoulder strap is the padding they added for extra support.    Thi

Ten Ways I Stay Motivated

1.  Start the day with prayer or meditation. 2. Brew a good cup of coffee. 3.  Go over my list of goals. 4.  Set new goals ones the old ones are accomplished. 5.  Listen to motivational podcasts or youtube videos. 6.  Read biographies of people who have survived cancer or some amazing trauma.  This helps to remind me that no problem is too big for God. 7.  I try to look in the mirror and say affirmations every morning.  Some of these affirmations are the same ones and some are different.  8. Try to keep a good, constant routine. 9.  Write or draw in my journal. 10.  Reward myself for accomplishments.  After all, you deserve it. Hope you have a wonderful week !!
