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,

Confidence.

Everyone is insecure about something.

I think a big insecurity for girls is appearance and comparing ourselves to others.

I am going to share my retaliation to the world...

Every single time I look in the mirror I repeat this verse:

Every time.

I do it whether I have positive or negative thoughts.

That way I get a constant reality check for what actually matters.

Question: What do you do to gain confidence?

Weekend is on it's way!

You are here.

"Today, you are older than you've ever been--and the youngest you'll ever be."

Enjoy where you are.

Enjoy the season you're in.

Whether it's the worst of your life, or better than you ever imagined.

Whether you're moving forward at 100 miles a minute or feel like you're standing still.

Wherever you are, it's changing you into the person you will be tomorrow, next year, 50 years from now.

Don't speed to the end. Enjoy the ride.

Thank God for where you are now, and for who you are becoming of this exact moment.

Love where you are. Love where you're going. Love your life.

Xo/ Austin
