Tea Talk Tuesday | Post #53

I've been walking the line between losing steam and all steam ahead for far too long now and I have to admit it's a strange place to be. Some days I'm just exhausted and thought of pushing on and getting my laundry list of to-dos done is all too daunting while on other days I've got a mind to get everything done and then some. Honestly on a day to day basis I don't even think I know how I'm going to feel motivationally until I'm in the moment. 

With that being said I'm on a mission to figure out my "motivational triggers" if you will so maybe I can get my life in some kind of order. 

I've been bouncing some ideas around in my head and I THINK I've come up with st least some mild solutions. 

1. Staying organized - so I love organizing but my big issue comes with actually staying get organized for more than a few weeks. It's one of those things that I love doing when I'm staying on top of the situation but tend to flop on as soon as I let it get away from me. It's almost like I have to keep organizing fun for myself or I just get tired of it and ditch the situation. In order to motivate myself I'm picking up a fresh new (Ban.do) planner in a few days and treating myself to some brand new stationary treats that will actually be functional for my daily life.  

2. Exercising - For me working out relieves some serious anxiety and I always feel much more relaxed afterwards. Although I've been just working out in my basement I've been toggling around with the idea of joining a gym near either  you job or my house... I'm still trying to figure out which one would be more beneficial to my life and which one is would actually have time to go to more. 

3. Caving out some personal time - I never really plan any time for myself and I think I should really start allotting some time for myself. I've noticed that my days off where I have tons of things to do are usually my least productive. I think that giving myself an actual day off once and awhile will give me time to re-energize and motivate me to actually complete what things I do have to do in a more timely manner and take away some of those feelings of dread. 

4. Clearing clutter - I think another thing I really have to get in order is my room. Since I'm so busy my room easily gets cluttered with clothes and other things I feel as though I have no time to deal with but I think it's really zapping my energy because it really gives me nowhere to efficiently work. There is something strangely exhausting about clutter and I think it really clutters my mind and clogs up any clear thinking - am I right or is this just me!? I'm making it a mission that I declutter and purge. I've been reading "The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up" by Marie Kondo so I'm currently carving out a plan to knock it all out as soon as I have a free day to dedicate to cleaning.

I feel as though my last few Tuesday posts have revolved around motivation or lack thereof so I'm hoping this is the last time so I stop sounding like a wishy-washy mess of a human?
