I’m excited to share with you three of my favorite reminders for Mondays!
This post was not planned, but after seeing a post on a Facebook group I’m a member of, I got the inspiration to write this post for today. In hopes of encouraging you to create your best life, I am sharing with you this 3 reminders for Monday motivation post.
Let this serve as a reminder that you can do absolutely anything you set your mind to!
1. Believe in YOU!
In case you’re wondering the type of post I read that prompted this post, it was from someone who didn’t believe they were “smart” enough to start a blog. This made me instantly sad.
Even if you don’t get something right away or have no idea where to start on a particular subject, that does not mean you’re not smart. It just means that with some research and learning, you’ll be able to accomplish it.
I’m still a new blogger and am continually striving to learn new things and make MLM the very best it can be. It takes so much hard work and dedication to make this successful and an enjoyable place for you to stop by and visit for awhile. I have learned so many things in just a short time, and am very thankful that bloggers support bloggers and I’ve had a lot of help along the way.
If you’re doubting yourself and allowing that to stop you from continuing (or even starting) your goals, please realize that you stronger and smarter than you realize. Don’t give up!
2. Don’t Play the Comparison Game
It’s easy to play the comparison game at times, looking at where others are and where you are. What we forget to add in this equation is that the people you are looking at have likely been doing something for a much period of longer time. I can guarantee you they’ve had similar issues you’re facing now, or maybe even issues that you wouldn’t find difficult at all.
We each have different strengths and weaknesses. Those weaknesses are not meant to be failures. Those are just items that we find a little more difficult than others, but are still perfectly attainable.
3. Be an Encouragement to Someone
Back to the post I mentioned, I replied to it and reassured this person that they are very smart and to hang in there, and believe in herself. I offered a solution for her what she was trying to accomplish, and truly hope that she takes the encouragement to heart.
Lots of others offered encouragement as well. Isn’t that what we are here for? To motivate others, to show them that we care, to help them when we can, and to lead them in the right direction if we cannot provide the help that they need?
If you can, be that person for someone today. If you’re struggling, know that things will get better and lean on those in your supportive circle.
Quotes to Serve as Reminders This Week
I don’t know about you, but I love surrounding myself with quotes! They keep me focused on what’s important and make me happy. I find a lot of them on Pinterest, print them out, and place them around my desk or in my planner so I can look at them often.
Here are some inspirational quotes for you that I found on Pinterest. Let these serve as a reminder this week that you are going to be okay. It’s going to be a wonderful week! Keep working hard on your goals. They will pay off!
I hope you’ve enjoyed this impromptu post for 3 reminders for Monday motivation!
Remember, you can do hard things, and you can do them well! Just have faith. Take your time. Believe in yourself, and everything will come together. š

![Thoughts on 2020 & My Word for 2021 BEFORE READ-MORE Letās be honest, 2020 was a tough year! I had a whole lot of beautifully-laid out plans that unfortunately just didnāt happen. Partly because of the pandemic, and partly because of my mindset. I found myself just sort of depressed and couldnāt really find the motivation I needed. Thankfully, ever since the holidays, Iāve felt like this universal shift is coming and things are going to be so much brighter this year. Iām definitely pouring all of my positive energy into making my goals happen this year, no matter what things look like with the pandemic. I have to realize that itās not within my control what happens in the world. I just have control over myself. I wanted to share with you my biggest takeaways from last year. I want to stay mindful of these three things during 2021, and beyond. Plus, Iāll be sharing my word for this year at the bottom! Take Care of Your Loved Ones This past year tore us away from our family and friends. It was heartbreaking for so many, especially to those who are now grieving over some of them. As each year passes, it is almost always on my mind that some of my loved ones may not make it to see another year. That probably sounds very morbid and daunting, and is probably just a result of my life experiences. But it has opened my eyes to really pay special attention to those I love the most. I want to show them that I care while they are here. I want them to know without a doubt that Iām there for them and will do anything in my power to help them. I work very hard to not take anyone for granted because we never know when our time is up. Protect Your Peace I learned how important protecting my peace was last year. I felt like I was going through a multitude of things. Some of the things that were bothering me the most, I couldnāt even control and didnāt directly involve me. They involved loved ones. Iām sure many of you have had similar situations where you have family members that can sometimes play a toxic role in your life. As a result, I really needed to rely on creating healthy boundaries and sticking to those. Itās an ongoing difficult situation for me, but I have truly handled it better than I ever have before. I hope to continue to grow in this area and get better with those healthy boundaries. Try to Control What You Can Control (Not What You Canāt) This one is pretty much directly tied to what I just mentioned about protecting my peace. Iāve spent so much time (that I can never get back) stressing myself out over things I canāt control. Mostly in regard to loved ones, but also the world as a whole. While I choose not to talk politics in this space, I think we all can agree that things have just been a mess in the United States for the past year and even right now. The pandemic, the mud-slinging, all of the sad news thatās plastered all over the tv or our social media...itās just exhausting. I just had to cut out most of the news because it was so depressing. Short of voting and praying for things to get better, thatās really all I can control. The rest of it will be what it will be, and Iām really trying to remind myself that each day. My Word for 2021 is Growth Iāve been flip-flopping between āchangeā and āgrowthā for my word this year. I realized what I wanted for this year was way more like āgrowthā than āchange.ā My thought process on using āchangeā was that I was creating these new habits that were going to be life-changing and help really boost me to achieving my goals. When I thought about it a little more, I realized āgrowthā really summarizes what I want to embody this year the best. It still requires change to happen, but it just seems like a better fit to choose āgrowth.ā [PIN] I hope youāve gained a little something from reading this post, friend. Iām wishing you an amazing week filled with lots of joy. ust on a fun side note, Iām looking forward to watching The Bachelor and WandaVision this week. Do you have any fun shows/things in general youāre looking forward to? Letās Chat! Do you identify with any of these takeaways from 2020? Have you chosen a word for this year? Fun question: Have you been watching The Bachelor this season?](https://i0.wp.com/www.makelifemarvelous.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Thoughts-on-2020-and-Word-for-2021.png?fit=150%2C126&ssl=1)

Thanks so much for reading, Grace Louise! š I hope you have a wonderful week, as well!
I really lack effort on motivating myself. You are right, blogging is mostly about researching and paraphrasing information, and expressing your thoughts.
Hi, Natalia! It’s a tough one, sometimes! Hang in there and do your best. I know you’ll do great! š
Such a warm and beautiful post! Couldn’t agree more with the 3 motivations š

Thank you, Bri! I am so glad you enjoyed it and I hope to do more uplifting posts like this in the future.
Monday represents the end to all things sweet and nice. Goodbye sweet pillow, Korean drama series and lazy sleepy afternoons, so short but sweet.
