I have measured out my life with coffee spoons.
~T.S. Eliot, The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock
Some days are just tough to start. It's hard to wake up and even harder to motivate yourself to actually get out of the bed. It's only a few minutes into your day and you're already looking forward to climbing back into bed tonight. Stick a fork in yourself because you just feel done.
Well, you have to get up and function even on your not so great days so what do you do? You learn to power through! Find your energy and motivation from deep within. You don't have to be full of energy every day, all day but you do deserve to give yourself the best day possible despite how you feel in the morning. Before you pick up that cup of coffee to get you started, take a few minutes and center your thoughts and your spirit. Acknowledge that today is going to be a bit harder and that's okay. Acknowledge that you are going to do the best you can today and be gentle on your body because it obviously needs some more rest in order to feel more alive. Acknowledge that maybe you can't be everything to everybody but you can be kind to yourself. That's powering through.
