Good Morning! From yesterday’s depp day we have to jump right into today’s pepp day. Don’t you agree? We can’t feel sorry for ourselves for too long, we have to stand up and power through. Down days are good I think, it makes you realize things and then you wake up the next day and can start over. It also helps that it’s blue sky and not snowing today haha.
What do you do to motivate yourself? What inspires you? For me it’s watching dance performances on like youtube done by companies or dancers that make the kind of art or use the movements I love, or I listen to a podcast with interviews with people I think are cool and has done amazing things, or I open Google Music and listen to fun or inspiring songs. Right now I’m playing the Batman Lego song “Friends are family” over and over. I love the part in the video when they all come in clapping their hands to the beat super smiling, that’s what I think about when I hear that song and it makes me really happy:)
It doesn’t have to be big things that can motivate you, a simple thing like a song can be enough. And then sometimes you need to sit down and think about why’s. My husband and I want our dream house in the future and that’s one thing that pushes us (or, it pushes me, I can’t speak for him). I want palm trees to look at in a backyard where Thor can run around, I want my husband to quit his job and I would be the one going to work every day, these past few months I imagined my child growing up, going to school, playing sport, having parties with friends, starting high school, moving out, graduating college and so on and Jim and I would be there teaching her all the important things in life and see her explore the rest for her self. I picture us on all these awesome vacations, Jim and I will renew our vows, I see us sitting in rocking chairs on our porch with gray hair with Thor by our side being the oldest dog in the world (cause he’s gonna live forever!). See, it’s not that hard. Now I’m motivated and I know my why’s. Time to go and be awesome.
