Its Time To Reclaim Your Motivation In Physical, Mental, And Spiritual Ways

Mark Twain "Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do."

Its Time To Reclaim Your Motivation In Physical, Mental, And Spiritual Ways
Jordan McQueen

Sometimes motivation can be hard to find and hard to get. Some days you do not want to get out of bed, go work out, go to work, read a book, do homework, ect for different reasons based on your life.

Mark Twain once said "Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." This quote has helped me to stay motivated and go after the things that I want.

When you look inward figure out why you are trying to go to the gym, for example, is it a physical motivator (trying to look good for summer), a spiritual one (finding yourself), or an emotional one (getting over a break up). Look at why you want to go to the gym, why you want to work out, and you will find your motivation again-I know I did.

When you look outward it is to find support. If you are going to the gym you might go more often if you had a buddy to work out with and you guys together were getting ripped. If you signed up for a competition (run, spartan, body building, ect) to motivate you to continue going. Or even telling someone that you are going to the gym and will go 3 days a week because they can help keep you honest.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
