I'm enjoying another day of vacation and another leisurely morning of coffee and contemplation (to quote "Stranger Things").
For the past week or so, I have felt unmotivated. My sense of pride has been diminished as well and I want to turn that around.
I know that, to renew my motivation, I can.....
1. Not dwell on anything in the past. It'd done. If you didn't like how you did it, do it differently, next time.
2. Act in a more responsible way towards your duty. For me, this means approaching life's responsibilities with a renewed spirit of, "how can I do that better?". Additional effort put into my work leads to pride (the good kind of pride).
3. Remember that you are nothing, your problems are nothing, and, therefore, you shouldn't dwell on them. (this tid-bit, in particular, is fueled by my yoga practice).
I'm showered and on my mat already so, after 5 minutes of prayer and reflection, I'm going to begin my practice. This might me considered Step 1 for today's "turning it around" mentality.

Post-practice, I'm feeling more aligned and balanced mentally. My approach to life will be to follow the 3 steps I mention above and keep that at the forefront of my mind as I move through my days and the next week.
Physically, I feel great. Having gone to my martial arts class last night (led by the Senior instructor who pushes you beyond and then well beyond what you thought was physically possible), I have a bit of soreness in my arms and legs but mostly, solidified muscle strength that has been aided by last nights Taekwondo class.
I'm going to shower up and continue with my day. I will not dwell on the past, I will give 100% of myself, and I will remember that I am a nothing; a nobody, from nowhere. This practice of humility is going to be a goal of mine today.
Namaste
