One of my favourite quotes is this one by an American author and motivational speaker by the name of Regina Brett - "No matter how I feel, I get up, dress up and show up for life. When I do, the day always serves up more than I could have hoped for. Each day truly is a slice of heaven!"
This is so true and I couldn't sum it up better.
Get up - There are days when I feel so low and sapped that I can't get out of bed. But I do. And once I do, I don't feel so bad any more. It's usually the first step that's the hardest.
Dress up - Spend some effort on looking and feeling good. Looking good has got less to do with being a fashionista or in tune with the latest trends and more to do with being comfortable in one's own skin and carrying oneself like a pro! If feeling good means using a good perfume or applying lipstick, go right ahead and do that. But if it's scruffing your hair in a loose bun or going make-up free, then that's really dressing up for you!
Show up - This is most important. No matter what, show up! If you promised, show up - whether you promised yourself or someone else. If you told someone you'd meet them, don't cancel last minute no matter how terrible you feel (unless you have a genuine situation that requires you to cancel). If you promised yourself that you'd wake up and go to the gym, then show up at the gym. There's really no exaggeration on how good this can make you feel!
So today's post is dedicated to this awesome quote that I try my best to follow in life and would strongly recommend all of you to follow too!
Late last night,
Puffy, tired eyes,
can only hold you back,
until you decide,
to get up from bed and greet the day,
announcing like a boss, 'Surprise'!
Brush your teeth,
get in the shower,
Scour your wardrobe,
for something comfy and nice,
And as you dress up,
Don't forget your smile!
Carry that spirit,
with you through the day;
Pass it on to those,
you meet along the way,
as you show up no matter what,
'Coz that's what you do when you're down and out!
Never give up!
New post tomorrow!
