Monday Motivation

Happy Monday, everyone! Another week is here, and we all have our jobs to do, but don't forget to set aside time to take care of yourself as well. Use your breaks wisely; instead of scrolling through TikTok or Facebook, you could get outside and go for a walk to stimulate your body and mind. If you work a more physically demanding job, maybe that option doesn't quite work for you, so instead, sit down with some cold water and relax your muscles.

Use your time outside of work to further your self-care. Have a nutritious breakfast in the morning and take your time with it; get up earlier if you have to. I've been on an egg and toast with fruit kick lately, myself. After work, I get in some yoga, which helps me to stretch out my body since I work an office job and sit a lot. Incorporate gentle stretches into your routine; I promise that you will feel better afterwards.

The changes and habits that you make today will set the tone for the rest of your life. We all want to be happy and healthy, but that starts with the conscious decision to enact changes in your life in order to get you to where you want to be. It won't be easy at first, and you may find yourself struggling to stick with the changes, but don't give up just because it feels hard. The greatest rewards often come after the hardest climbs, so stay motivated and don't give in!

Let Go of the Past and Embrace Change

Leave the past in the past! You won’t progress in life if you’re dragging old habits around with you. If you keep trying the same thing over and over again, and you’re not getting the results that you want, maybe it’s time to try something new. T hink of it like diet and exercise. Some diets won't work for you, just like some exercises work better for other people than they will for you. It’s all about figuring out what works, rather than doing the same old thing and becoming disappointed every time you don’t get results. In order to move forward in your life, you need to learn to embrace change. Sometimes, you can get so caught up in sticking with the things that you know, that you wind up afraid of venturing out of your comfort zone. It’s easy to stay with what’s familiar, but you have to learn to let go of familiarity and let yourself embrace the new and the unknown. You need to allow yourself to be open to new ideas and new ways of thinking. You're stuck where you are righ...

Don't Allow Your Fears To Control Your Life

Everyone has something that they are afraid of—you, me, everyone! It’s not shameful to have these fears, but you shouldn’t allow them to take precedent over your life. Things only have power over you because you give them that power. If your fears are starting to hold you back from living the life that you want, then you need to rethink how you view those fears and learn to break past them in order to move on. Your limitations are only limitations because you allow them to be. You are capable of so much more than you give yourself credit for, so don’t allow yourself to be brought down by your fears just because you’re worried that you won’t be able to overcome them. You can do anything that you put your mind to, and if that involves overcoming your fears, then you will be able to do just that! When you choose to avoid your fears and not face them, you open yourself up to even more fear, as well as limitations on your abilities. Facing your fears allows you to break free of the restrict...

Fire It Up Friday

Happy Friday! Y'all know what time it is! It's that time of the week where we list the things that we look forward to; it's Fire It Up Friday! There is so much in life to look forward to, so let's help each other out by naming the things that we're excited for. I'll start us off by saying that I'm excited to go to the beach tomorrow. Beach time is always a good time. I'm gonna have ice cream for lunch and hopefully hit plenty of waves! Life gives us so much to hope for; it's hard to see the bad when you're so focused on all of the good things headed your way. There's always something to be excited for, even if it's not your next concert or your next beach day; it can be as simple as waking up tomorrow morning to spend a relaxing day at home or being excited for your next cup of coffee. If it makes you happy, it's worth being excited for. Let everyone know what you're looking forward to in the comments. Have a great weekend, everyo...
