The last few days have been challenging for me in an emotional way however what I really paid attention to was the way it affected me physically.  I have felt tired, lack lustre kind of tired, you know the tired where you dont care that the cat threw up on the dining room floor or that the dishes arent done and where nothing else matters except for your couch or you bed? 

 The interesting thing I noticed is that I paid attention to how it affected me physically.  I felt tired, fidgety and off kilter. Emotionally I felt drained and overwhelmed and in my mind I had a struggle going on with the over-achiever side of me saying "smarten up, get going, you big baby..... you know you can change the way you feel, it's your choice how you are feeling" while the other half of my brain is whispering "Hey give yourself a break, yeah you, you deserve to take a mental break today, be kind to yourself and just chill... pick up the pieces tomorrow and move forward!"

Every day we have a choice to allow outside influences or inner influences to alter the way we think and feel.  The choice really lies within ourselves, we are our own motivator.  We collect external inspirations through our human contact, articles, social networking, CD's, TV and a host of other things however it is up to us to change behaviours and to motivate ourselves.

Today, take a few minutes and think about who or what inspires you.  Is there someone in your circle who you truly look up to, are always in awe of what they accomplish or just give them credit for doing whatever they choose?  Is there a poem or a book or even a blog that inspired you to think differently?  What made you notice them? Why did they stand out for you?  How can you adapt them to fit into your life - how can you use them to motivate yourself to go after that goal you want?

You always have a choice, make a good one today and shift your thinking to positive motivation! Be aware of your surroundings and what lesson everything and everyone is there to teach you!

Make today a POWErful Day!
