Motivational Monday


 Welcome to my Motivational Monday.  Let’s face it, life is difficult and it can be easy to give up on things.  Not only do we need motivation to get through difficult tasks, but everyday life.  Some people never run out of motivation, some have a hard time finding any.  How do you get motivation to do anything?

The ability to stay motivated allows you to achieve success in whatever you do.  Gaining motivation is about the push of changing habits and breaking through fears.  Motivation is about consistency in achieving your goals.

There are many great steps to staying motivated, including a few of my favorites:
-Cutting out distractions
-Getting you body moving, either with running, stretching, or anything to get your blood pumping
-Setting goals
-And of course, my favorite, drinking coffee for a nice little caffeine jolt.

Another important part of daily motivation is how you start your day.  So, let’s talk about breakfast!  Breakfast is controversial; it’s either hated or loved, and unfortunately it usually consist of sugary cereals or some other quick sugary pastry (mmm donuts). 

Breakfast is thought to start your day with the proper energy to keep you motivated, kick starting your metabolism, and keep focused.  Some may think eating breakfast doesn’t matter, but starting off your day full of energy, you can’t go wrong. We are breakfast people in our house and it definitely gets our day started off right.   

So what’s a proper breakfast look like? A balanced breakfast includes a combination of fats, proteins, and carbs.  This is far from the regular old sugar encapsulated toaster pastry.  We’re talking a breakfast full of balance to help you fuel your body and achieve your daily goals.  There are some great breakfast ideas all over the internet.  A few of our go-to's are toast and avocados with fruit, peanut butter waffles (a favorite at our house), pre-made breakfast sandwiches, or overnight oats.
 
Hopefully this you give you to motivation you need for a great week.  I would love to hear other stories on how you kick-start your motivation on Monday’s!
