Self-Care is important.

Late Wednesday Motivation...I needed this reminder today as well. Life will constantly and consistently keep presenting challenges for us to address. At times it can be difficult to maintain a sense of balance in the midst of it all and not feel overwhelmed. That has been my experience as of late...there is always something else that comes around the corner, and I feel compelled, and obligated to meet the challenge head on...to conquer...to overcome...to win! Then...reality s...ets in because I have taken on too much; overextended myself; set false unrealistic expectations and set myself up for failure. Then I start to be unkind to myself and the self defeating thoughts come...So today I reject all such ideology. I am stepping back...refocusing and reframing the situation and realizing that we can conquer, overcome and win...but it doesn't all have to be done right now, or even overnight. We must to learn to take an honest look at what is before us and set realistic goals, which are at times calculated risks, but as long as the steps we take move us forward...we are winning! Stay motivated! You are winning! You are doing it because each day you make a conscious choice to move a little closer to your goal. Be proud of your progress and stay committed and you will get there. See more

I know that I can be guilty of it as well...the Monday blues. We look forward to the weekend after the week has worn us out, and it comes and goes much too fast. Then we rinse and repeat for another Monday...let's change that paradigm though. Each day is an opportunity for greatness! Another moment to move us closer to our dreams and aspirations. Another time to affirm to our loved ones that they are loved and cared for...that includes even Mondays. If we take the perspective... that Monday is not just a dreaded day that puts us back on the grind, but rather it is the launching pad propelling us to fulfilling our purpose and sustaining our drive and desire to be better and do better. Let us see today, yes even Monday, for the inherent beauty that it reveals in us and the world around us...if we allow it to do so...that the daily grind in another part of the beautiful tapestry of life woven in and colored through the mountaintop experiences as well as the valleys...but when viewed by others and upon careful self examination and reflection...it is a masterpiece being perfected day by day...embrace Monday...embrace today...and embrace the journey.

Thoughts for the weekend...did you earn your weekend? Did you give your all this week? If so, congratulate yourself for making it through. If not, that's ok, commit to do better next week! Use this weekend to strategize ways to address your cares and concerns effectively, efficiently, and appropriately. Also remember to revel in the weekend...use this time to relax, to reflect, and to be renewed. Don't carry this week's stresses into next week unnecessarily. Enjoy the weekend. You deserve it.

Stay focused...through the pain...stay focused...through the pitfalls...stay focused...when your patience is wearing thin...stay focused. Remember where you are going and what it has taken for you to get where you already are...challenges will come...you will stumble and sometimes fall...just stay focused on the goal and commit to being purposeful and intentional each and every day to bring you a bit closer to achieving that which you seek. You can do it! I know you can. I believe you can...question is? Do you?
