Hey! Hey you! It is another Monday and this is another Monday motivation! 🎶🎶

Moooondayyyy mooootivaaationnnn 🎶🎶 
Please tell me you just read that as like a radio jingle? If not… go back to that sentence and just imagine it. 😂

I’m struggling to pick a theme for this Monday Motivation. I’m feeling drained and restless at the same time, which is perhaps exactly the reason for the struggle. Stick with me here.

Firstly, look at you! You made it through another week, you made it through the final US GP of the 2022 season. Praise yourself for that! For the week, not necessarily the GP. I’m hoping last week was kind, that you got to experience more highs than lows (but know that every low eventually will lead to a high) and that you got to make a positive memory!

Then, Midnights by Taylor Swift was released last Friday and I just have to know something: have you listened to it yet? Did something jump out at you? The whole reason I’m asking this is not just because I’m a Swiftie and I enjoyed the album but because a certain lyric was a beautiful addition to my last Monday Motivation: “Breathe in, breathe through, breathe deep, breathe out.” Just adding it again as a small reminder. Breathing comes so natural we sometimes forget the powerful effect it can have on our emotions.

Lastly, I’m subscribed to a newsletter that drops some motivation in my mailbox every once in a while. And this time… I think it set the tone for the coming week for me. Here is an excerpt:

My love, you gorgeous creation of stardust, I hope this week treats you kindly. I hope you remember that you are stronger than you think, that you are loved and that without you the world would lose a brightly shining star.

All the love,

Babette 🧡✨

i read it in the voice of avril lavigne (hey hey you you i can be you girlfriend etc etc) jdhqjsh

Ive not listened to the song yet but i definitely will now, cuz something we really just have to pause, breathe in, breathe through and breathe out

This excerpt is actually so beautiful and important, cuz its so necessary to appreciate the good things in life, and small, unexpected things. Case in point: there's a guy in my class who is a friend of a friend and i was also very intimidated by him cuz he was like this cool guy too cool to hang out with me and we have the same schedule this year and he asked me if he could sit with me in the lectures or if he has to find new friends and i🥹🥹 Its the small, unexpected things that happen!!! Thats what really matters in life❤️
