How to Stay Motivated and Energized in
Challenging Times
“Life is
not
the way it’s supposed to be, it is the way it is. The way you
cope with it is
what makes the difference.” -Virginia Satir
Pain in life is inevitable; misery is
optional…Annoying situations and people are
inevitable; giving away your power to them is optional…Being
busy is
inevitable; feeling overwhelmed, taking work home with you, and staying
up all
night is
optional…It’s always a choice…
Now more than ever, we need practical
techniques on how to
stay focused and not make things any
worse than they already are. We also have to focus on what we can
control and ask ourselves, “What can I do that’s
under my control to
make things better?”
