Man. This morning was tough. I was barely moving and had no motivation or energy. But I knew only I could change that. And it all had to start with my attitude.
I’m not going to lie, I have a bad attitude today. Im feeling bloated from travel, I don’t have much excitement for my workout today, and I’m just pretty grumpy. I know none of this is fun to hear and it’s definitely not motivating, but some of your days are going to be exactly like this one. And YOU are the only one who is going to be able to pull you out of this frustration. It might be one of those Mondays where you feel like crap and nothing is going right, but YOU can make the best of it.
Sometimes all you can do is become your own motivational speaker. And that’s exactly what I’ll be doing for myself today. First I’m going to start by smiling. Something as simple as smiling can completely change how you feel and your outlook on what’s ahead. Next, I’m going to take 10 deep breaths. Deep breaths help so much with calming from within. Then I’m going to workout, get work done, shower, put a little makeup on, and move on with my damn day. Because today is going to be great. I’m the only one who can make that decision and I’ve already made it that way by simply typing those last few sentences.
Don’t forget that YOU are in control of your destiny. You may not be in control of everything that comes your way, but you are in control of what you make of it. Now go crush this Monday. No need to dwell in how you felt when you woke up. You got this.
