Motivated Monday
Today is Monday and I think my goal for each week moving forward is to not dread Mondays. In an effort to tackle today I worked to get up a bit earlier to pray, do a workout, and treat the day with the best energy I could do. It has been a busy Monday and because of that you are getting a rather short post at the end of the day. However, I would love to hear from my fellow readers and see how do you tackle the start of your week and what keeps you motivated to move forward. Please share below. Until next time, I’m Ciggy!

Freewrite Sunday
Today is Sunday! Sunday sometimes has a hastag associated with it. #sundayfunday or #selfcaresunday This Sunday, I’ve had a smidge of both. #SundayFunday I volunteer in my church in a couple of areas but today I spent time in the nursery with the older toddlers (19 months to 23 months). This group of 1 year olds are quite a fun bunch. They are walking, dancing, playing, high-5ing, and started to talk and sing which makes praise time a truly fun time with this group. Also, for those that know me well…I’m a couponer! I promise I am not extreme but I do have a binder and I learn/subscribe to…

Relax, Relate, Release!
One of my favorite shows (I have many by the way) happens to be A Different World! There are so many reasons why I love this show but that is not the point of this post.I’ll save that for another time. This morning when I woke up I heard the title of this post playing over and over in my head “Relax, Relate, Release Relax, Relate, Release Relax, Relate, Release” It is a saying that I have learned from Different World and how I feel I should approach today. It took me quite some time to fall asleep last night and I can promise you it was because I wasn’t…

Calling it Quits, When you’re not a Quitter
Quitting, or the word quit as defined by dictionary.com has several different meanings ranging from stopping, leaving, to relinquish, to cease, to end, to depart, to resign, or to give up. I’ve never liked the idea of quitting and felt like giving up (which is part of the definition) however certain things should and must come to an end (another part of the definition). I think of your time in high school, college, a movie, a book: all of these things have a certain end when they cease to continue. Even this 100 day project has an end (its the 100th day). It’s easy or better yet inevitable to end…

Working Meetings
Today is TGIT (Thank God It’s Thursday!) However, I am not quite ready for tomorrow to be Friday or more accurately closer to the end of July. For my fellow friends in Reslife, we all know that August is a crazy month for us filled with trainings and the students moving back in. For some of my friends that may have started even earlier as we have professional training at some universities and colleges that start as early as June. When students leave at the end of May, there is a universal thought of the following two things that will happen in a Reslifer’s summer: Relaxation Get new work projects…

Momentum
Hi there CiggyChat readers! I can’t believe we are so close to the end of the 100 day project (more like 100+ days there were a few hiccups and breaks along the way). In being a dreamer, it is quite easy to dream and dream and well dream some more. However, the part I am looking forward to is achieving the dreams, accomplishing the goals you set for yourself. Accomplishing the small goals will continue to give you the momentum for the bigger goals and dreams. Just wanted to share my thoughts as I get near the end. Until next time, I’m CiggyG Post 81 out of 100 #the100dayproject

Happy International Self-Care Day!
For the past few months or so, I’ve had the pleasure of receiving alerts from Shine. It is a quick dose of positivity and inspiration that comes to my phone Monday through Friday. For those interested in that I would definitely recommend you joining in here. In today’s message from Shine, I learned that it is International Self-Care Day and learned some ways that people from around the world practice self-care in this article. In reading the article, it was cool to observe that those around the world and myself have similar self-care practices. My self-care practices include the following: blowing bubbles cooking counseling dancing music praying reading time with…

Case of the Mondays
Today is Monday. Sometimes or more often than not…people dread their Mondays. Believe it or not, I did not dread today. I woke up quite ready to start the day and week. There was and still is a lot to do this week but I woke up with a peace about things and ready to tackle them with God’s guidance of course. Yesterday, I did my vision board and though it’s not hanging up yet, I’m ready to start living that life now. I was even able to squeeze in an afternoon workout for the day. #wellness Here’s to turning Miserable Mondays into Motivated Mondays! Until next time, I’m Ciggy!…

Vision Board
Today, was the day! My friend, Mayra, had her vision board networking event and it was such a great success! The space was packed with a wonderful group of people ready to embark on this intentional process. We reflected on past accomplishments, our mantras and set goals in all aspects of lives prior to getting to the crafty fun that came with creating our vision boards! All boards were gorgeous, creative, and completely unique to each person with their vision. You may see other boards from the day on the instagram but I will share my completed board with you all here! That’s all for today but I am definitely…

Cluttered Mind
Hi there readers, It is quite late for me and my mind is a bit cluttered. I did some work today straightening up my home but I need to set some time to fully declutter my physical spaces. Someone once told that when you struggle to focus, have a clear clean space can be helpful. I believe that to be true and I’ve let life’s random distractions keep me from the tasks I need to do to have a clutter-free home and clear mind. As I embark this final quarter of the 100 day project my days are only going to get more busy and filled with life and work.…
