Motivation
“I start each day by telling myself what a positive influence I am on this world.”
Hey guys...
I know it’s late. I usually try to get these into your inbox by 5:30 in the morning. I just lost track of time today and was offline last night, enjoying cooking dinner & a movie at home
But I’m here now. And it’s never too late to set an intention for the week, even on a Monday night... after all, we’re only 1/7th of the way through. So, let’s do just that!
Lately, I’ve been using Brain.fm to listen to music while I work. (If you want a referral code to give it a go, let me know! You get 30 days free!)
If you know me, you know I rarely do anything in silence. Whether I’m working, cooking, or just moving through the day, there’s always a podcast, a playlist, or some kind of instrumental in the background
This weekend, I discovered that instead of just watching the timer count how long you’ve been focusing, you can change the view to cycle through different quotes
And that’s where I found our intention for the week:
Look... I know this quote may be a little cheesy. It popped up on my screen and I just kind of had to smile
I think it’s so easy for us to be harsh on ourselves... to focus on what we didn’t get done or where we fell short. But I’ve really been trying to focus on the first thoughts and the first words I say being positive in the morning, I’ve come to believe they do make a difference
Even if it feels cheesy... even if it’s a day where you’re having a hard time believing it because you aren’t as mentally "atune" as you were the day before... just try to be a friend to yourself
I firmly believe that if the first thing you do in the morning is try to be a friend to yourself, it helps you be a friend to those around you. It helps us get into the mindset we actually need
My Intention for the Week: create the space to start every day with a little bit more positivity that I can then portray into the world I’m occupying.
