Hey you guys,

How’s everyone doing? I don’t know about you, but this week for me went by super fast and now I am just really looking forward to graduation.

I have some bad news, I have not tried that distress tip that I gave—you know the one about meditating. It’s fortunate that I didn’t feel the need for it because I haven’t been feeling stressed out, however I’m sorry because I don’t have news for you guys about whether or not it works…yet!

So I was talking to Chris this past week about how I’m ready to finish the semester and just graduate. I have about 3 weeks left and it is so hard for me to focus, sometimes I just want to sit and do absolutely nothing. And he asked me: “Well what keeps you motivated?” Honestly, I don’t have a cookie cut answer; I know that I have to finish off the semester strong because in the end I will get graded on my performance on finals and presentations. Ultimately I keep telling myself “it’s almost over and just hang in there.” Think about the benefits in the long run, and you will realize that even though there are a few weeks left, they do matter.

Staying motivated or even getting that initial motivation to do something can be kind of difficult. Usually for me, it’s the initial motivation that boggles me. Now tell me, how do you guys usually approach a situation like this? Do you simply do what I do, tell yourself that no matter what, the job needs to get done? I’m curious because who knows, maybe one of you guys may have come up with something that is more effective.

I look forward to hearing back from you guys. Enjoy your weekends because I think it’s supposed to be nice and sunny…finally!
