BBM KOREA | Motivation Monday

 

This week’s motivation comes from one of the best. Waking up on Saturday morning to a message from a friend that Shania had released a new song was already a fantastic start to the weekend, but this song has been keeping me going for days.  While the story of the song is a sorrowful tale of love, the message it shares about taking the bad and turning it to good is one that resonates with almost anyone.

There is so much to love about the single, however it’s the repeated line, and title, “life’s about to get good” that I can’t stop singing along to. With the weeks of my life here in Korea dwindling there has been a lot of thinking to do about what will come next. While the prospects of what the future holds are exciting, it’s also overwhelming to think of what will happen when this life I’ve cultivated here on the other side of the world is over. That simple line though has me smiling as a great reminder that indeed, “life’s about to get good”.  Enjoy!

Here’s to a productive week.
Happy Monday!

BBM KOREA | Motivation MondayYikes!  Six weeks since my last post?! Ohh but what a six weeks it’s been. I spent a weekend in Japan, took a week off in Bali, and had family in town to visit. It’s been wonderful, but unfortunately blogging couldn’t be towards the top of the priority list.

So here we are, back in Korea, Monday morning yet again. I’m sitting in one of my favorite cafés, which doubles as a flower shop, sipping an iced Americano, watching the sweet workers process this week’s flowers, and trying to get back into productive life and out of vacation mode.

Today’s Monday motivation is a bit of an older inspiration, nonetheless it still gets me up and out.

Months after first hearing it, I’m still absolutely in love with this song, Sit Still, Look Pretty by Daya. I love the empowering sentiment of doing anything and everything you could dream up, particularly the line saying, “Oh, I don’t know what you’ve been told, but this gal right here’s gonna rule the world”.  It just makes me want to wake up and get to work. Maybe you’ll find the same motivation.

Here’s to a productive week.
Happy Monday!

Mondays can be tough to be excited about, but with each Monday morning there comes a bit of a restart button. I try to be especially productive on Mondays as a way to get energized for the rest of the week, and one of the things that helps me to focus on the week ahead is a specific list of especially empowering songs. One in particular that I’ve had on repeat lately is “Womankind” by Annie Lennox, released just over a decade ago in 2007.

While my Monday motivation typically only lasts ’till about Wednesday before I need another reset, this song has been getting me through my weeks and encouraging me to stay on track with my goals.

Here’s to a productive week.
Happy Monday!
