Motivating Myself

Wow. Yes! I did it! I woke up at 6:30am today. Hahaha!

Don't scoff. If you know how difficult it is for me to fight the urge to keep myself buried in my comfortable sheets every morning, you'll also appreciate the gravity of this feat lol!

So now what do I do with a suddenly leisurely amount of morning in my hands? Well, blog for one. And here I am doing that now. In a while I'll be cooking some breakfast. Because of this habit of waking up late, I haven't been able to eat nice, filling breakfasts regularly. I always settle with hot tea and bread from the kiosk in our office building. Suking suki na nga ako dun e.. hehehe. But today I have time to defrost and fry up some bacon and hotdogs. Wheee! Hooray for early morning starts! Yun nga lang baka bukas late na naman ako gigising ~_~

Yesterday wasn't the best of days for me. Got plumped down into a meeting first thing in the workday, as in kakarating ko lang ininform agad ako that I have to attend this meeting. My gash! Ni hindi pa ako nakakasuklay hahaha. So I kept smoothing down my hair, trying to tame the chaos down while my Japanese coworker was informing me of the meeting. Hahahaha! Yan ang tinatawag na poise!

Anyway, like I said, it wasn't the best of days for me yesterday. And it really showed. Damn, I really had difficulty holding discussions with my project teammate. Walang kabuhay-buhay! He probably noticed I wasn't in my full element. Good thing toward the end of our meeting, I was already caught up in the momentum and could crack jokes again hahaha! Yes, cracking jokes is important in work meetings. I don't like it when everything is so serious. My face gets all fidgety trying to keep a serious face to match the atmosphere. Yun nga lang, pinipili ko rin yung meetings na nagpapatawa ako. Shempre, depende rin yan sa kameeting mo hehehe.

I was really struggling for motivation yesterday. I had to find the things that kept me going again; it seems there are days that I lose them. I found it's important to allow yourself to congratulate yourself on your accomplishments. It's one of the things that can fuel our drive to keep moving forward. If we downplay the importance of the things that we've done, no matter how small they are, then time comes when we start questioning what everything we're doing is for. Misplaced modesty can be very harmful to our goals.

Anyway, I think I've recovered today. I really hope I've got my perk back. There's so much to do and I need all the energy and motivation I can get.
