Motivation....what's your MOTIVE?

You know, some days, it is just difficult to get going. Like everything you do is moving in reverse or worse not moving at all. Ever feel like your "get up and go" got up and left???
I have plenty of days like that. I am not going to lie to you!

Especially on cloudy days, man, that is the worst for me! Seems I piddle here and piddle there, and well, just give out. Notice, I said 'give out' not GIVE IN. And this is where the difference lies.

You see, when I have one of those days, much like today, I start out by making out a list. On that list I categorize the "have to do list" and the "must do list." Now, the "have to do list" has a little flexibility in it. It can be broken down into days or time frames.

Then, there's the "must do list." I never forget to place something important on that list.
I always write something on that list positive to reflect on while I am weeding through the remainder of the other things on the list like housework, grocery shopping, mowing the grass. etc. And while I am doing those other "not so fun" things, I think about that positive affirmation telling myself it over and over. Speaking kindly to the person I have to be with the most: MYSELF.

Something magical happens. Clouds start to dissipate. Things get accomplished. The lists get shorter. And I feel better.

Here's hoping your cloudy days are wrapped with SUNBEAMS.

Big hugs 2 U!
