Motivation challenge
Getting started can be the hardest part. We are plagued by negative emotions, fears, and doubts. We constantly compare ourselves to others. "She's such a good artist. I'll never be that good." These are all negative feelings that prevent us from making progress in our lives and stop us from doing the things we really want to do with our lives. I challenge you to try 10 minutes of meditation every morning for one week in the month of September. Here's a 15 minute motivational meditation to help you relax and build positive thoughts. After your week, let us know how it went. Did you notice a difference? Did you get more creative work done?
Sadly that's the end of this month's newsletter. It was good for me. Was it good for you?
