How many ways can you be motivated;
interesting question, right? Motivation
is in the mind of the beholder, huh?
Spot on and timely; when isn’t motivation timely?
“You’re in question mode
girlfriend. Is this reverse Jeopardy?”
No, I’m changing the delivery so
you won’t become bored. I don’t want my
content to be stale, passé or yesterday’s news.
You do what’s necessary to get you
to the next stage of life. Monday can be
difficult and frustrating coming off a satisfying weekend. I know the feeling, not painful but
conspicuously close. I get myself amped
up for the beginning of the week. Is
there any reason to allow the sundown effect to cloud my ability to enjoy every
moment of every day? Time is a precious
commodity that cannot be retrieved.
What do you do to defeat the
sundown effect?
“Another question girl, really?”
How am I supposed to engage you if
this is a monologue? I can’t make it
truly interactive but I can attempt to engage your thought process and
hopefully encourage you to be an active participant in my daily deliveries.
For years I began to mourn the
passing of another weekend. Sails once
stiff with tailwinds went limp. Monday
started on a low note requiring significant effort to engage. That approach did no good and wasted the remaining
hours of the day of rest.
“So how did you defeat the demon;
or are you still in defensive mode?”
Conquest is mine. My secret isn’t much of a secret. I take time with friends into the evening on
Sunday. If that’s not possible I will be
out and about. Sensory depravation dulls
the ability to deal. I will food shop
for the week beginning 7 p.m. and ensure I wander around the supermarket for at
least and hour. I never thought
something as mundane as food shopping could be transformed into an event of
significantly positive proportions. This
little exercise has worked wonders for yours truly. I approach the workweek with renewed vigor
and energy. And in the process I take
full advantage of the final waking hours of every Sunday.
It’s your turn to reveal what works
for you. Any tidbits of knowledge shared
would help the readers to consider multiple options that have been proven
successful. Not every process works for
every person but having a stable of options is always better than being limited
or devoid.
As I bring another post to a close
I ask if there are topics you would like me to expound upon? I’m wide open. Either send me a comment to this post or find
me on Facebook. I’m open to any
possibility that is upbeat and appealing to the general public.
Love and hugs, Nikki DiCaro
