Today is such a Monday! (Even though it’s technically Tuesday.) I’m feeling sluggish, yet pretty motivated today after searching for a good quote. I knew I wanted it to be about habits, because as I said on Twitter over the weekend- I have recently traded some good habits for some bad ones…I need to switch that around!

Some good habits I like to keep are writing regularly, waking up with enough time to get everything done in the morning, keeping a tidy kitchen, getting some exercise, drinking plenty of water, and eating healthy. They are things that make me feel good about myself! They are things that improve my health and my life in general.

Some bad habits I need to drop are consuming too much caffeine and sugary drinks, being lazy/inactive, procrastinating duties/housework, over-eating, and not allowing myself the fuel to be energized and maximize my awake time. It’s not always easy to put your flaws out on the table like this, but once you do, you can remember why you prefer your good, healthy habits to the poor ones! 

Ultimately, I am done with feeling sorry for myself. It comes in waves and then I remember who I am, what I stand for, and that I can do anything I put my mind to. I love the quote below for this week. It’s so fitting and just in time and what I needed to read. I hope it gives you a push of motivation today too!

“Feeling sorry for yourself, and your present condition, is not only a waste of energy, but the worst habit you could possibly have.” – Dale Carnegie

Nail Color- You’re Such a BudaPest by OPI

This color has been on my list for well over a year now. I’ve finally given in and made the purchase and I’m so happy I did. How many blues can one gal have in her nail polish collection?! The answer is “Well…this one is kind of purple…..” :) I highly suggest!
