I have written several post lately about struggling with motivation. This morning I was looking about my world and contemplating the chaos that I have created. I think the pictures are pretty telling.

One picture is of my closet… I stopped putting clothes away and started piling them up… then they fell… so I threw more on top… sound familiar?

The second picture was 10 minutes of effort… not perfect… but I felt better about myself.

The other thing I noticed is that looking at the before picture… I felt sad… looking at the after picture… I no longer felt sad… I felt proud.

I want more of that feeling. So I begin with the hot mess I am today… OK… put in a little effort… feel better… got it!
