Stop Giving Up Before The End | Shower Thoughts
If you wanna be a BAWSE you have to commit to climbing to the top. Getting to the top means sometimes getting to the top of one ladder and then starting to climb another. The first climb might have been a breeze, but now you’re scared the second one won’t be. And it probably won’t be. But that’s what you signed up to on this road to conquering your life once and for all. Continue reading Stop Giving Up Before The End | Shower Thoughts
This is Not The Week You Will be Defeated
In Tuesday’s post I touched on the fact that these last few weeks in and out of work have been grinding the joy from my soul. Although I have been powering through and kept the posts coming (for the most part) I was definitely on auto pilot the whole time and wasn’t really that dedicated to producing good content for you all. Continue reading This is Not The Week You Will be Defeated
The Daily Prompt | Grit is The Word
As well as being small loose particles of stone and sand, to have grit is to have courage and resolve; it is to have strength of character; it is to be brave. Continue reading The Daily Prompt | Grit is The Word
I Know You Missed Me
Hello and welcome back to another edition of Shower Thoughts of an Extroverted Introvert; I know you’ve missed me. Missed me and all my whimsy, my truth, my inspiration – toot toot! (that’s me blowing my own horn). Continue reading I Know You Missed Me
Hate to Be a Cop Out But…
It’s Tuesday and you’re probably eagerly (?) awaiting your shower thought to begin the week; but you’re not going to get it. Why? Because I go on holiday on Thursday for two weeks and I’m taking a well earned break, starting now. Continue reading Hate to Be a Cop Out But…
Terror Makes You Pause But Conviction Makes You Jump Pt 1
I’m going to press pause on the momentum I was trying to build and take the evening to give these happenings my full attention; to think about how we all have a duty to affect change; to think about how I can do more than just be continually dumbfounded. Continue reading Terror Makes You Pause But Conviction Makes You Jump Pt 1
Put It In The Ether – Make Yourself Accountable
Accountability is motivation’s best friend. It’s always much easier to make it to the gym when you’ve planned to meet someone there; always easier to stick to the diet when you have to present your food diary to your support group; always easier to budget when you have a deadline to pay for your group holiday. In short, we’re more likely to stick to stuff when we know we’ve got people counting on us. Continue reading Put It In The Ether – Make Yourself Accountable
It’s Time To Get Serious – It’s Time To Conquer
You have to dream big and hustle harder. Whatever the dream is, you’ll have to put extra sweat and tears in (blood stains things). To make it to the top of your game you have to always be willing to give more than everyone else. You have to commit to working smarter and harder because the path is long, the escalators are broken and not everyone finished P90x. Continue reading It’s Time To Get Serious – It’s Time To Conquer
When You’re Too Tired Don’t Quit – Just Do It
Think of your role model, the person you aspire to be like…Now imagine their rise and their career or their success; do you honestly think they didn’t have days where they wanted to give up, miss a deadline, a training session, a posting schedule? No, of course they did, but when you’ve got that little bit more dedication than everyone around you, you find a way to keep going and winning. Continue reading When You’re Too Tired Don’t Quit – Just Do It
Its Time For Your Personal Appraisal
Don’t forget, a self assessment isn’t about punishing yourself for the things you haven’t done or missing the targets you haven’t met. It’s about an honest reflection on your priorities and expelled effort. Priorities were made to be realigned so don’t write yours in stone. And when you do self assess and you’ve met your personal expectations, why not reward yourself? Positive reinforcement doesn’t have to just stay in the workplace… Continue reading Its Time For Your Personal Appraisal
Always Give an Organised 100%
All year I’ve had this heavy feeling that I have too much catching up to do in order to catch up to everyone brave enough to start before me. As a result, I’ve had all these ideas swirling in my head that I’ve left un-actioned because I’m scared to commit to a path in case its the wrong one and I set my self back even further; thus, setting myself back even further. Continue reading Always Give an Organised 100%
Start, Start Over and Start Again
I promised you I’d return within a week, but life wouldn’t be life if it didn’t get in the way.
How do I begin to account for my absence? Anxiety. An easily self diagnosed illness that seems to be over subscribed to by millennials, myself included. But you can’t hide from the truth and the truth is I got overwhelmed and had to take a time out. Continue reading Start, Start Over and Start Again
