Motivated Yet?

What is motivating you this week?

As of right now, I am feeling sickeningly encouraging.
If you feel like you need some words of affirmation, call me. I don't even think I could say anything bad right now.
Why? I'm not sure? Maybe the sun (80+ today!)? Maybe my two workouts for the day? Maybe the new Inspiration Board I made? Maybe cause school is so close to being done? Whatever! Let's not question it!

(My inspiration board for this summer!)

This I found on Pinterest (where else?) and I think it's the perfect motivation to get through the week.

Motivation to be the best person you can be!

Think about it.

Reevaluate where you are right now and be the person God, and your 5 year-old self want you to be!

Have you complimented someone today? Cause you should :]

Motivation.

This was a crazy awesome/long/tiring weekend.

And I just don't have the effort to explain all that happened right now.

Besides, it's Motivation Monday!

Here are some videos that I think might motivate you for the rest of the week!

This is one my best friend showed me.

It always makes me want to give it all I've got!

Which I think is something we should always do!

Hope you like it!

This has got to be one of my favorite inspirational videos of all time.

Also, if you haven't seen it, warning: tears may flow.

Hope you all get some motivation to get through this week!

I will be needing it as well!

Motivational Monday!

So I am a big fan of schedules. 

If only you could look at my planner, you would understand.

I know some of you are the same way!

For me, if I have it written down as a plan, it's easier to follow through.

If it's in the schedule, it will happen.

If it isn't, then you never know what will happen!

I like to be scheduled.

So I have decided that I need more scheduled blog days!

All I really have is Pinteresting Tuesday... which I know you all just wait for every week ;]

So Monday from now on is going to be Motivation Monday!

I think with the start of the week we all have a rough time getting going.

So I plan on making Mondays a day you can come check in here and hopefully leave with a brighter outlook on the day, the week, and hopefully life! 

I will post motivational pictures, quotes, verses, stories, whatever motivates me, I would like to share with you! Hopefully you're all down with the plan!

Today it is a quote.

To me this can mean so many things!

It could mean we literally can focus on the aesthetics of life and making our surroundings beautiful.

It could mean we act with compassion, kindness, and love, therefore making our surroundings beautiful.

Or it could even mean that we choose to see the beautiful in everything, making our surroundings beautiful.

However you choose to take this, I encourage you to make everything around you beautiful.

Use some time this week to get in touch with your artistic side.

Maybe you could focus on thinking before you speak (I know it sounds crazy!) and only speaking words of encouragement and kindness. (I know this will be on my to-do list)

Or possibly you want to keep a journal of everything beautiful you see this week. Whether that is a person, an interaction your experience or observe, your surroundings, where you want to travel... The list could literally go on forever! 

I hope you get some motivation for your week with this!

Let me know what you think.

With Encouragement,
