Motivation Monday!

So if you haven’t guessed or observed, I can be overly dramatic sometimes. Just last week I was ready to have a mental breakdown, while complaining to my mother via text, about working. I have a full time job, a part time job and my blog. And I quote myself “I would rather work six days a week because then I don’t get to remember what it’s like to be happy and enjoy myself.” Now I can say this to myself, shut the F up Simone, YOU’RE NUTS. I’m also laughing as I write this. Sometimes I just can’t even…

Motivation Monday!

We’re all always trying to do more, and be better, make more money, be more social, ect. The list can go on and on. So, today post is about stoping at smelling the roses. It’s great that you want to keep going and bettering yourself, but sometimes we’re so focused on the future that we forget to be thankful for what we have at this very moment. Enjoy the things and people you have in your life at this very moment. The more you appreciate what you already have, the easier it will be to work for more. This Monday…

Motivation Monday!

I’m a firm believer that failing and messing something up is the BEST learning experience you can have. And it’s not limited to work and school, it could be not going to the gym for a while, to forgetting to do something for a good friend. Anytime you make a mistake you are empowered to store that experience in the back of your head and move forward and make better decisions. You can’t appreciate sunshine without (a bitterly disgusting New York cold winter that just doesn’t want to leave) rain. This week I challenge you to embrace your mistakes and…

Motivation Monday

Happy MONDAY! This Monday I want you to choose your mood! Even if you’re cranky right now because it’s Monday, it’s early and you have to go to work or school, leave that all in bed. Stand up take a deep breath and choose to be happy! We let so many outside factors define our mood, even something as simple as the fact that it’s Monday. Monday doesn’t suck, you’ve just convinced yourself it does. Every day you go to work you further your career and make money (that you need for that Celinè bag you’ve been eyeing, oh wait…

Motivation Monday!

This is one of the many times I should take my own advice. For so many years I fought my passion. I’m very talented at drawing and painting, and overall very artistic. I’ve always thought I was “good” but not amazing or great, which is completely untrue. As I’ve gotten older I’ve realized that what I love is art or anything creative, it’s just who I am. With my blog I’ve been able to follow my passion. When you do what you love it shows, and it’s the best thing for you. We don’t always make the right decisions or…

Motivation Monday!

This is one of my favorite quotes/mantras. It’s one of the ways that I always try to live my life. During any hardship in life, it’s your patience and how you deal with these difficulties that matters most. You should always strive to put out good energy even when nothing good is going on. On the opposite spectrum, your attitude when everything is going good means so much too. You should always be kind even when you don’t necessarily have to be. Constantly be thankful for the everything that you have. No one likes an asshole. People remember when you do something…
