Monday Motivation

Some of the best things you find on the WWW are those random gems you stumble upon whilst searching for something else. Hence this quote by Lao tzu that is absolute perfection and our Monday Motivation!!!

Don't be beholden to anyone else's thoughts about who you are Minions. Wake up every day knowing yourself and what you are about and you will never be anyone's prisoner.

Trust me it's the only way to go through life happy. I used to care what people thought of me way too much and every since I haven't (for many years now) I have been happy. It's the best  decision ne can make for your own self care.

So what do you say? Don't worry, be happy!

Michael's Musings

The Quarantine Shuffle
Michael Shinafelt

In this weeks episode of As The Quarantine Turns I got stimulated yesterday. "Yes" that's correct minions, my stimulus check got deposited directly into my bank account. Thanks Nancy Pelosi!

What's that? Yeah, it's time to move sideways, as the world is these days...

WTF? This week on Vanderpump Rules why don't we do an infomercial for LVP's cocktail garden at Caesars Palace? That's exactly what they did, blech!

Overheard: I am not arm candy, I don't shave my pu$$y 

Behind every sh!tty meme is a person that tried to make you smile

You think Quarantine is bad check out the Puddle Of Mudd cover of the Nirvana classic About A Girl. My ears are still bleeding!

Need a mask? A B Cup works better than a D Cup. That is all.

#TBT #ThrowbackThursday Remembering the days when you could find toilet paper at the crocery store - sigh

The longer Quarantine goes, don't you think Jack Nicholson held it together pretty well in The Shining?

Don't let the cat out, no matter what it tells you

Woman Crush of the Week - Dua Lipa because Future Nostalgia is music to my ears

If last night's premiere episode of this season of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is any indicator of how the rest of it is going to go - I'm all in!

Give it a name: It's called self care

It took a pandemic for me to learn _________ tell me, by filling in the blank

My new home school

Guess what I'm wearing at present, guess

Monday Motivation

Zen
Anderson Cooper

This weeks Monday Motivation is brought to you by Anderson Cooper. "Yes" him sitting peacefully poolside is a reminder to us all to take the time for some self care.

What's do I mean by "self care" you say? Tending to ones mental and spiritual well being is as much a part of feeling good as is a hot and sweaty Spin Class or doing a few rounds of boxing on a punching bag. 

One also needs to appreciate the little things in life. The quiet times, to recharge and regroup.

Personally this is something I need to do more of than when I hit the mat in yoga once a week. One of my personal fave things to do is to take a walk and enjoy the moments of the things that I see along the way, whatever those may be.

Also starting the day of with a positive affirmation helps to set the tone for it. You'd be amazed how standing in a Superman pose to kick off your day really affects you.

So bend it like Anderson & Myself today and make your Monday magic!
