It's Monday - Stay Motivated

We are weeks into quarantines and stay at home orders. The economy in several areas are starting to slowly reopen, and many of us are starting to safely venture out more returning to a new normal. Even as each day seems a bit better, the sun shines a little brighter, some of you may be feeling the same as me - struggling without your usual structure and adapting to changes. In that regards, as I have said before, sometimes a few motivational quotes will help change my mindset and keep me going. Start your Monday off on the right foot, with a few more of my favorite quotes.


Be in the business of being awesome.


Be the Leslie Knope of whatever you do.


Do what is right, not what is easy.


Expectation is the root of all heartache. - William Shakespeare


If someone doesn't want to play with you, it's okay. Go find someone who does and who appreciates what you offer. - Sandra Bullock


If you're not helping to make it right, stop complaining about it being wrong.


Life has a funny way of working out just when you start to believe it never will.


I believe that when you find love, you hold on to it and cherish it because there is nothing finer, and it may never come again. - Mr. Feeny, Boy Meets World


Take it all one day at a time and enjoy the journey. - Kristi Bartlett


You cannot life your life to please others. The choice must be yours. - Alice in Wonderland

Some Good News

Right now, as we are all at home following Safe at Home orders and practicing social distancing, one thing we all need is something to keep us smiling. When things don't seem to be going your way and you're surrounded by negativity, sometimes the best thing you can do is just laugh and keep swimming because this too shall pass.



Thankfully, mixed among all the negative news out there you can still find an abundance of good news to provide a needed dose of optimism. Sometimes you may need to look a little harder to find that happy news, but thankfully, some are making it easy to find it all in one place. For the last few years, one of my favorite sources for good news is Good News Network.

More recently, another favorite source for positivity comes from one of my favorite actors, John Krasinski, and his weekly Some Good News "broadcasts" on YouTube. He posts every Sunday evening and delivers about 15 minutes of uplifting news. If you haven't watched any of these yet, you can check out the first three episodes below. 

Stay safe. Stay healthy. Stay magical. Just keep smiling.
