How To Stay Motivated

       

During my first years of college, I had such great momentum and I was ready to take the world. As life started throwing unexpected curve balls I had to restrategize. Working part time and focusing on school has always been top priority,  but when I had to start making my part time job to full time, things started getting difficult. As the years went by I've gotten use to multitasking and finding ways to stay focus and motivated for whatever changes may come my way. So I'm here to share with you what has helped me in hopes it does the same for you.

1. Set time to do more of what you love

 The more we get busy with daily tasks, we tend to lose ourselves in the process. Don't let that happen.

2. Surround yourself with people who keep it real and positive 

Good vibes bring good moods; so when your around the people you love that know you best, they can keep you motivated and push you towards your goal.

3. Love yourself more

Take time to get to know you and renew yourself; map out your likes, dislikes, and so on to keep you focus.

4. Find a Hobby

 If you feel bored or that your life is a bit routine, then pick up a hobby for yourself. Perfect time to see what your made of.

  

5. Set daily affirmations

Affirmations are motivational statements that help remind you of how great, talented, and strong you are. Sometimes we have to learn to encourage ourselves.

There's so much more I know I can share with you but those are the most consistent and effective tips that has helped me get through the good, bad, and  ugly. Keep moving and keep pushing. 

With Love❤️,

Are you ready for this Semester?

       

Next semester is around the corner!! and it's time to get re-motivated to get moving and get going. It doesn't have to be as hard as everyone makes it out to be. Just taking the time to prepare can take the stress out a bit. Here's how: 

1. GET TO KNOW YOUR CLASSES

    Read the details and descriptions of the class your taking to make sure you grasp what's expected of you. Get your mind ready to ingest all the information; it helps in retaining the materials. 

2. PRINT OUT YOUR SYLLABUS

     Don't wait until you get to class to get a copy of the syllabus. Try to obtain it yourself to start reviewing your course load. Getting a head start on what will be required if you can help you balance other areas of your life. 

 3. COMPARE TEXTBOOK PRICES

    Start comparing prices online, at your local bookstore, and other surrounding bookstores. See what discounts you can get and which method works for you. When I choose all online classes, I find that the Nook or online versions are worth their price because of their flexibility. 

4. KNOW YOUR PROFESSORS

    Find out your professors best hours. Get proactive on developing a teacher and student relationship. Don't be lost in the crowd. Find out what times your professors are best available so you can get the help you need. 

5. TALK TO YOUR ADVISOR

      Please, please, please talk to your advisor. See which advisor is assigned to your and your program. They are a wealth of information to make sure your headed in the right track. Be proactive; plan your questions. 

  Be proactive in your future and create time for more of the things you love like family, friends, shopping, tumblr, etc. Failing because you didn't try hard enough is a terrible excuse. Know your priorities and plan accordingly. Stay focus and productive for this coming semester. 

YOU GOT THIS!
