Motivation (I used this word a lot)

So I have been going through some exciting stuff! Mixers,New Member bonding,  school work, and Initiation right around the corner! I finally get to craft for my big and will post pictures of how the crafts come out.  But today, I just want to give myself a relaxing day after meeting alumnae and having a New Member meeting. School work can be done bright and early tomorrow! As for tomorrow, I am starting up the gym again. I have formal at the end of April and want to look pretty :)  I hate how I gained some college pounds and they need to melt off...the healthy way of course! I figure if I blog about it, I will be more motivated to do it (he he).

Anyways! I decided that I need to get my motivation back. I get motivated in several ways. For studying, I put on Legally Blonde, a determined sorority girl who succeeds in Harvard Law? Talk about motivational! I watch it and take out my pink highlighter and go to town on my studying/homework. A nice candle is always good too. Lately I have been into Moonlit Sands from Yankee Candle.  It is the Beach Walk and Midnight Oasis scents combined. Totally soothing and motivates me to work hard so I can relax during the summer.

For the gym, I make a classic playlist of upbeat songs from the Top 40 hits and other songs that pump me up. My list jumps all over the place! Here is a taste: The Call by The Backstreet Boys, Songs Like This by Carrie Underwood,Take Me Home Tonight by Eddie Money, What is Love by Haddaway, Don't You Want Me by Glee (such a cute remake!), Blow by Ke$ha, and Till The World Ends by Britney Spears. The playlist is random with all songs that make me want to groove on the elliptical LOL. It gets even more weird, but for my own embarrassment I cut out a lot of my 90s dance music and 80s pop and dance hits.

Basically, being motivated is getting in that mindset. From movies to music to an intense candle, anything can trigger you to want to do your best. THe important thing is that slow and steady wins the race, so relax and loosen up and make whatever you have to fun! That is certainly my key to getting motivated :)
