This year hasn’t really been conducive to motivating a lot of us, has it? Personally, I’ve not known whether to push myself harder or allow myself breathing space throughout it all – the reality has been somewhere in the middle.
Half the battle for motivating ourselves – especially for us women – comes attached to a bucketful of self-doubt relating to whether we’re even capable of achieving what we set out to achieve.
But we are capable, we wouldn’t have it in our mind’s sight it if it wasn’t something we’re capable of achieving.
For me, I always find strength in empowering & motivating words – sometimes it feels as if they fall in front of us at the exact moment we need to see to them. Like the speaker is talking directly to you, knows your story and wants nothing more than to encourage you forward.

Loveee the quotes from Nicole Lyons, Marie Forleo, and Tim Fargo. Always have to keep in mind that every situation makes us stronger and that sometimes we just need to *start* … no one masters anything or changes a habit overnight
I’m so pleased! Thanks for sharing your favourites & yes I think that’s a very wise takeaway xxx
Love these. I’ve definitely had a lack of motivation several times this year and I can really relate to the feeling of not knowing whether to push myself or take a step back. “Results happen overtime not overnight – work hard, stay consistent and be patient.” really resonates with me. Thanks for sprinkling some much-needed motivation Alex. 🙂
