Yay! It’s the weekend; let’s slack off, we deserve a break right? OR we could use the weekend as a time to get revived, rejuvenated and re-motivated! Instead of thinking of the weekend as a break, consider instead the huge rewards of reaching your goal. Let’s say your goal is to build in time each week to have a date with yourself. 3 hours just for you, time to think your own thoughts, make your art, play, workout, whatever will re-fill your well. In fact…a real and lasting break! A break from feeling exhausted, a break from feeling defeated, a break from feeling like your habits define you, a break from the negative effects of stress.
“People often say that motivation doesn’t last. Well, neither does bathing - that’s why we recommend it daily”. - Zig Zigler
Grab your journal and find a nice clean page. Make a heading…What will motivate me today? Free associate, write anything that comes to mind, draw pictures, stick in pages from magazines, write down quotes, song lyrics, book titles, people, anything that you can use to get yourself going again.
Chose one thing that you can do even for just 10 minutes. Enjoy your weekend, even if it is not time off, try to find something that you can do that brings you enjoyment that does not interfer with your goal. We are half way there! Way to go, see you tomorrow.
