Hey there, I’m so excited to announce that Monday Motivation is back AND it’s now in video form. Woo! I can almost hear your shouts of joy through the interwebs… I hope this is a better way to deliver some inspiration first thing Monday morning. Please email me your feedback or let me know if …
Okay you’re pissed. And you’re trying really hard to not react, lose your cool, or overdramatize the situation. I could give you some gentle Buddha quotes to ease your temperament, but I doubt they’d help right now. A punching bag would probably be more useful. Or maybe some kitten therapy. If it makes you feel any …
Give today a chance to be everything you ever wanted it to be. When you wake up in the morning forget the, “Oh great…I gotta do <insert thing you’re dreading here>,” and say to yourself, “this will be an incredible day.” You have the ability to make each and every day amazing, happy, fun, adventurous, and …
Isn’t it annoying when people complain about the very things they themselves do? Isn’t it so friggin’ frustrating when people preach one thing then do another? Yeah…but, who cares? I do it.
