Michelle’s Monday Motivation: TGIM

Every Monday feels like I'm waking up to go to the first day of school.  If you don't feel that way about going back to your job, you're doing it wrong.  Let this piece of "Michelle's Monday Motivation" help you re-evaluate your current situation.

"T. G. I. M.  Monday is not the day to be back at the grindstone.  Monday is the day to be back at your passion.  If you're working for the weekend, you're doing it wrong.  Kick butt. Every day."

Friday afternoon was one of those days where everything that could go wrong, did go wrong and it felt like all the great plans I had for the weekend were falling apart.  At some point, I actually thought to myself "Can we just skip the weekend and start the new work week?"  That thought was genuine.  We've got a lot of fun things happening at LITE-FM this week and I just can't wait to see them come together.  I legitimately was looking forward to coming in to work this morning.

That's something, that I couldn't say three months ago.  I'd been at the same job for a very long time and as the years progressed, things just became less fun.  I can't pinpoint when it happened, but things started to feel heavy and dramatic. I no longer looked forward to getting out of bed and going into the office.  It would feel like the walls were closing in on me on Sunday evenings as I dreaded Monday's arrival.  And that's when I knew it was time for a change.

Since joining you for mornings on 107.9 LITE-FM, I've been eager and excited to get out of bed at what my fiance calls "stupid o'clock in the morning" every day! I no longer feel like I'm trying to just survive to the weekend and it's really changed my whole disposition!

If you don't feel the same way about your job as today's Michelle's Monday Motivation quote, take this opportunity to reflect on your current situation.  Is it time to move on to a new opportunity or is there something you can do to start loving your job again? Sit down and have a serious conversation with yourself.  It may be scary, but ultimately your heart will lead the way and bring you to something that truly makes you happy.
