Monday Motivation - Some Days Are Bad Days
Some days are bad days. Of course, we prefer our days to be good or even great, but such is life.
In my chemistry career, every brand-new chemist would have a bad day about three months after starting in the laboratory. I would hear a glass flask or beaker fall and shatter.

And that's OK.
Because we strive for a sense of peace with our bodies.

Motivation means desire. The science of motivation is the science of success: Success has to happen before you’ll become motivated; Success has to keep happening; We don’t always recognize success when it happens because we’re pretty hard on ourselves.
The practice of thankfulness doesn’t come naturally to anyone. That’s why we call it a practice: it’s hard, we don’t feel like doing it–and then we feel better once we have.
