Motivation Monday Make Your Week SOAR!

Motivation Monday Make Your Week SOAR! You have the power to influence how your week goes! It is just as easy to soar as it is to be sour! It is funny how a typo can become the topic of a post. As I was typing the word soar, my fingers accidentally slipped and I typed sour instead. A simple mistake and a simple fix. And that is exactly how you can view your week as well. Try using these four words to guide your mindset this week. Seek Look for new ways of doing things. Find new people to meet. Uncover alternatives. You need to keep your mind open to new possibilities, not stuck in a rut over how things havent worked or cant work. Seek first to understand, then be understood are the wise words of Stephen Covey. We can never stop exploring and learning! We can not become complacent. You have to keep your eyes open! Optimistic If you dont believe you can, you wont. Starting right now, believe in yourself and what you have the power to do. People have achieved amazing, seemingly impossible feats. But, that didnt happen by accident. They truly believed they could. In a previous Motivation Monday, I wrote about how Shawn Achor suggests we can change our mindsets. Be Happy Then Succeed is the answer! Achieve Nothing will happen if you dont do anything! Take action. Set three goals for yourself each day. Instead of focusing only on the immediate tasks, include a goal that has a larger or perhaps more strategic outcome. Maybe you crave work-life balance. Set one of your goals to focus on how you can achieve that. Maybe it is as easy as saying you will take 30 minutes each day to spend time doing something that you love (but specify what that is!) What happens when you begin achieving the goals youve set for yourself? How does that make you feel?! Rock As in the twist and shout type of rock, not like the stone, cold object. Shake it up! Darn it, have some fun. If you remember the movie Ferris Buellers Day Off, you cant forget the scene where Ferris sings Twist and Shout on the German parade float. Ferris rallies the crowd, gets them singing and dancing and inspires smiles! Get out there and inspire. Let your positive attitude become contagious! It is absolutely your choice. Can it work? Do these words help reshape your thoughts? I would love to hear your thoughts!
