How to be motivated, even on Thursdays



For a long time, Thursdays have been rough for me.  The burst of enthusiasm at the beginning of the week is gone.  The weekend is not here yet.  It somewhat helped to dub Thursday the Official Day of Getting Nothing Done because then anything actually accomplished on Thursday felt like bonus points.  If anyone else happens to be lacking in motivation on this particular Thursday, let me offer a few ideas:

• Moving makes us feel better.  It works better than antidepressants, especially if it becomes a habit.
• We get smarter when we exercise.  Getting in the workout before work will improve performance.
• We’ll live longer with a better quality of life.  I don’t particularly want another twenty years in a nursing home, but a retirement full of activity and travel sounds pretty darn spiffy.
• We will look cuter.  Maybe we will be thinner or more toned, but even if we don’t, we will have a better outlook and more confidence and that makes everyone cuter.

We can do this.
