Wise Words for the Working Gal

It's Wednesday. Some would say this particular day of the work week is harder than Mondays. I typically find myself needing some motivation around this time every week & to get that, I remind myself of some of my tried-&-true mantras. Here are a few of my favorites to help you get through the work day:

If yesterday was tough, don't let it dictate today. Chin up!

Make that to-do list your you-know-what! ;)

Say yes! I find that once I've accepted the challenge, I already feel more confident. Even if I have no idea what I'm doing, I'm proud that I didn't automatically say no to something that is out of my comfort zone.

You will shock yourself at what you are capable of if you overcome something that initially seemed scary. Failure only comes when you stop trying.

I literally recite this to myself all the time. I even had a print of it hanging above my desk in college. Beautiful, simple words by Nelsen Mandela.

Lastly, a little humor from Tommy Haverford of the TV show 'Parks & Recreation.'

Now go kick butt today! Then treat yourself to that glass of wine, ice cold beer, bowl of ice cream, or whatever it is you enjoy after a hard day's work. You deserve it!
