Simple Weekday Motivation: Have Your Best Week Yet!

We’ve all been there: Despite the week starting off on a great note (or not), it’s only Tuesday, and it feels like we’re caught in the week that will never end. In fact, the day just seems to drag on and on. Wednesday rolls around, and we’re starting to think the weekend will never come.

The easy way out is to cut yourself some slack, let your work slide, and kickback. However, this often sets us up for overwhelm and stress down the road. Your future self isn’t going to be all-too-happy about it either.

The truth is we all need a little motivation and inspiration once and a while, especially when it feels like a drag of a week. And you’ll actually feel better getting stuff done, rather than letting things slide…

Positively Uplifting Stories | July 14 2025

The impacts of inflation are significant. The cost-of-living crisis is stretching household budgets all over the world. Yet, amid these challenges, many individuals are still stepping up to support one another in meaningful ways.  

Whether it’s sharing resources or building support networks, communities are doing what they can to make life a bit easier for everyone.

“When we give cheerfully and accept gratefully, everyone is blessed.” ― Maya Angelou

Let’s take a look at some uplifting stories of people making a real difference by helping others through tough times…

One Positive Action

Make Space for Being a Beginner

Being a beginner can be terrifying. Starting at zero can feel deeply uncomfortable and awkward when you’re used to at least being somewhat competent in everything you do. Our ego hates this feeling, so we will often avoid trying new things altogether, staying safely in our comfort zone.

But here's what we forget, every single thing you're good at now started with you being absolutely terrible at it. You couldn't walk, talk, or even hold a spoon without making a mess. The only difference between then and now is that as kids, we didn't care about looking inexperienced or silly. We were just curious and willing to try.

When you let yourself be a beginner, you become playful again, you ask questions without worrying if they sound stupid, you focus on the process instead of obsessing over the outcome. Plus, your brain literally creates new neural pathways when you learn something completely different, keeping you mentally flexible and creative.

Pick something you've always wanted to try but felt intimidated by. The key is having zero expectations, you're not going to be an expert on day one, so just have some fun with it, explore something new! Remember that everyone who's ever been good at anything started exactly where you are right now. If you don’t give yourself that chance and just try, you’ll never know how great you might become.
