Mind is going in overdrive.
Lost motivation.
Not feeling alive.
Don't have that spring in my step.
Can't be bothered.
We are 11 days into the New Year. A time of the year that reflects fresh starts, opportunity to start over.
Yet, in the last 11 days I have heard (and I am am guilty of this too) all of these words above, more I than can count...
Is life really that dull or busy that we can't see the fun only 11 days into a New Year?
While laying in bed wide awake last night (yep the first one is me!) I started to wonder about motivation... What drives people? What makes them tick? What gets people out of bed in the morning, no just dragging themselves out of be but springing out of bed with a love for life...?
For me, I have my goals... They keep me powering through the days... But it is when I start to forget about my 'why' for those goals that I get bogged down in just the 'doing' part... The hard work, the repetition of the plans, and forget to enjoy the journey...
Yes it is only 11 days into 2013 but (thanks to an email I received yesterday) I realised I needed to take a step back from my so structured life, write down what I value most in life and how I want to feel...Was what I am doing in alignment with where I want to be?
Since my university days, one of my little mantras has been - Faith, Love & Hope...
FAITH in myself
LOVE of life
HOPE in the universe (and that something wonderful is just around the corner)
I know this will click with several people... We need not get caught up in the little things...
Life is too short...
