Sometimes each day can be a new beginning.
Or it can be a drudge in the sludge.
There are days where I am running a million miles an hour to get something done because I am so excited to do it. And then there are those days where things just all seems to hard.
You know what I am talking about right? Those days where everything is a distraction, and nothing seems to be moving forward. By the end of the day I feel terrible for wasting a day I had planned so much for.
So how does this relate to happiness?
Happiness is something we can generate. You can make a choice to be happy, sad, grumpy or glad. First up decide if what you are doing truly makes you happy. I you achieving your goals, working towards your vision, completing your to do list? If that’s a big yes then just finding a way to motivate yourself can bring you happiness. Not only will you find yourself with the same amount of energy as if you had 5 coffees or 3 pots of green tea, but you also feel good. Why? Because you have achieved something. You have motivated yourself to set your self a task or goal and achieved it (or well on your way to achieving it).
Now this is all well and good you might say but how do I get motivated to be happy?
Many people have many different ways to be motivated for the next day. Especially if it is one you don’t want to face.
Personally, I journal the night before and set my intentions for the next day. The hardest part here is not over filling the day. Just writing down what I foresee as doable. Anything extra is a bonus.
Then when I wake up I don’t have to plan, or roll around procrastinating. I can jump up and start my day. Generally I start by getting my body moving with whatever takes my fancy – yoga, pilates, HIIT.
Then I sit down and tackle what I want to achieve today. Sometimes it’s hard going, depressing and overwhelming. But I also remember all those women who have done it before me. I know that I am not the first to want to achieve something – like having a successful business. Nor will I be the last.
These women who have done it before are inspiring. I often get my biz inspiration from women who know exactly what it feels like. Female founders, entrepreneurs, leaders in their field who are just smashing it. I take their words of wisdom, hope and encouragement and turn it into motivation to help me achieve my goals. Because what is stopping me other than my own motivation to achieve my dreams. Knowing this, and knowing I can accomplish my goals leads to a greater happiness for my mind, body and soul.
So I have found 23 inspirational women who’s words resonated, not in the cliche you can do it kind of way, but deep down what they said made me motivated. It struck at more core and made me realise I can start my own design studio AND I can be successful at it.
