It’s so easy to get dragged down by life – your job, your friends, family drama. It’s like going down a rabbit hole and not being able to breathe.
I try so hard not to get sucked into a booby-trap of negativity by focusing on what motivates me. Here’s just a few…
Doing things that make me feel good…. For instance, I took a mega-hard hot yoga class tonight. I had no idea what to expect and it’s been a while since my last intense yoga class. I suited up and faced my fears (sweat my brains out) and completed the practice. Guess what? I loved it – and now I’m inspired to write tonight! Other feel-good things to me are – walking, cuddling up and watching TV with my BF, late night calls with my sister, mid-afternoon naps, much needed mani/pedis, etc.
Motivated people (also filed under ‘People who walk the walk’….)… I love people that inspire me. It’s the people who work really hard around me on a daily basis that keep work fun and creative. Also – top notch people making a difference like Marianne Williamson, Josie Maran, Summer Rayne Oakes, Krishna Das, Kris Carr… I can go on and on. All of these individuals have passion and do good for the world.
Do-Good Companies…. There’s so many out there right now, but off the top of my head I can think of Toms, The Giving Keys, Acure Organics, Nika Water, Whole Foods Market, Charity Water, etc. All of these big and small companies are motivating me. That’s what I want to be a part of.
There’s lots more – but maybe this post will motivate you too. What inspires and motivates your spirit? Tell me in the comment!
