Motivational Tuesday


Image result for motivational quotes to live by everyday

Motivational Tuesdays... Although the dreaded Monday dawns upon us at the end of every weekend, I find that I feel the post weekend blues on a Tuesday instead. So every week I find a motivational quote to live by for the week.

This weeks quote is:
"Be gentle with yourself, you're doing the best you can."

As a perfectionist, I aim for perfection in my everyday life. Unfortunately this comes with a lot of stress. I struggle to acknowledge that what I am doing is the best that I can do. I am not ashamed to say that I struggle with this, but I am trying. This week, however, with all the project and deadlines looming, I need to work on doing my best and not getting upset if it's not perfect.

After all, there may not be such a thing as perfect, but there is such a thing as doing your best and that could very well come close to being perfect.

What motivates you to get through the week?

Motivational Tuesday: Making a Comeback After a Setback

Image
Hi guys, so today I'm going to get really serious with you. Recently I experienced a really bad setback. Experiencing a set back really really sucks. You work really hard to get something, yet you miss it. And it sucks, it just sucks. So how do I deal with setbacks? Before I even start figuring out how I am going to get through it, I have a plethora of negative thoughts, which unfortunately is part of my nature, which I'm trying to work on. Unfortunately being a first year, everything is kind of thrown at you all at once. And when you face a setback as a first year, it all seems worse. Well I sit and cry for about an hour, then I snack on any junk food I can find and take a nap for at least an hour. Then I wake up and I feel slightly better, but I still have that sucky feeling. Ya know what I'm saying. S I get up, take a breath and workout, to try and blow off some steam. Take a shower, surround myself with people who love me and support me, then begin ...

I Drank 2 Liters of Water every Day for 30 Days... Here's What Happened

Image
"I believe that water is the only drink for a wise man" -    Henry David Thoreau Hello, my little chickadee dickadees! How have you been? Haven't spoken in a while, but let's be honest I battled to blog every week. My life is so crazy with my Honours degree that I barely even have time for myself, let alone time to think up a blog post. Yet here we are… It occurred to me last month that a simple solution to my writer's block was to try something new every month and report back on what happened. So I decided to up the amount of water I was drinking for 30 days. This meant drinking 2litres of water a day for 30 days. This only refers to the intake of water, not coffee or tea. To be honest, I probably drank more than two litres (other beverages included), but I wanted to focus on a round, seemingly attainable number. 2 Litres seemed doable to me. Over time, water replaced soft drinks and I actually started to like the taste of ice-cold water, especi...

Why I Meditate... and what my Disney character is

Image
In my last post, I mentioned that I wanted to better my well-being this year. Physical, mental and spiritual well-being. I didn't explicitly state my resolutions, but I did give you the gist of it.   "Meditation is a vital way to purify and quiet the mind, thus rejuvenating the body" - Deepak Chopra Some part of me has always been inherently spiritual. I was introduced to meditation when I was in the third grade. We had been given free time and one of my friends was sitting peacefully in the corner of the classroom, legs crossed and eyes closed. I sat down next to her and asked her what she was doing and she simply replied "meditating". She asked me if I wanted to join her and I did. Although that was years ago, when I think about what piqued my interest in meditation, that memory always comes up. Since then meditation was always an "on-again/off-again" habit of mine. I decided to take meditation more seriously last year when my anxiety w...
