Motivational Monday

Happy Monday! I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. We certainly did. We went out for the most delicious breakfast and did some shopping at our favorite local businesses. We try to shop and eat local as much as possible. It is so important to us to support small businesses!

“Be stubborn about your goals, and flexible about your methods.” Author Unknown. This quote has always resonated with me. I tend to come down really hard on myself when I don’t meet the goals I set in a timely manner. I often set unrealistic timelines and choose impossible methods to complete my goals.

This year I opted on a goal notebook. I purchased this adorable notebook from Erin Condren. Every Sunday night I write down my business and family goals for the week. Then I write a small snippet of when and how I will accomplish them. I have found the key to completing my goals each week is to keep them simple and doable! Let’s be real here I am not solving all the world issues, I am getting my laundry done, writing a blog post and possibly doing an educational activity with Lulu at best!

My point is to find what works for you, even the smallest goals set and completed bring the best feeling of accomplishment! Find a way to document your goals then are flexible on how you get there. If you get the laundry done on Monday, but don’t fold it until Wednesday that is ok! Be kind to yourself, we are all doing the best we can!
