August 14, 2023 ~ Motivational Monday ~ A Fresh Start

Happy Monday!

Shfew! Where did the time go! I blinked on Friday afternoon and it was 630a this morning! #ButHowwwwwww???

Today’s motivation comes from what this week represents for me…A Fresh Start!

I have been preparing the kiddos or their return to school on Wednesday. This preparation is physical (ensuring they are back on their eating and sleeping schedule), mental (making sure they are in a good and positive headspace to be back in the classroom), emotional (finding ways to work through the nerves of new teachers and possibly new friends), and spiritual (for us, this is reminding them of their faith and beliefs).

In all of this, I realized this is where they start anew. They left 4th and 7th grade behind (boy oh boy was 4th grade a doozy). But now, no matter where they landed last year, they get to walk into that school on Wednesday with a new sense of purpose and belonging, and with yesterday’s trials BEHIND them. I will encourage them to take full advantage of this fresh start, so that they can continue to thrive, and truly make the best of their 5th and 8th grade years!

This applies to us too. How fitting for a Monday. We left Friday behind us, and Monday is the perfect time for us to create a fresh start to the week!

Let’s not let yesterday dictate today! #WeGotThis #TodayIsANewDay #ItIsOurFreshStart #FreshStartNowLoading

Have a phenomenal week!
