We all know by now that sometimes life likes to throw some curveballs at us. Every day we are faced with tasks and challenges that can set us back in terms of achieving our goals. Some days we can overcome these challenges and tackle our goals without much effort, but on other days? Not so much.
Sometimes, however, the biggest hurdle standing in our way is ourselves. Getting out of our own way can be a whole challenge in itself because the reality is, we're human. Building up courage and motivation to tackle the day and take on its challenges can feel like a goal in and of itself.
We all know the feeling of being completely lazy and unmotivated to do even the simplest of tasks. Sometimes you just need a "me" day. When that "me" day is on a Sunday afternoon while the Pats are on, it's great! But when those feelings of lack of motivation and laziness set in on a Tuesday afternoon in the office, then it's a problem because it's interfering with your ability to accomplish what you need to do.
