Motivational Monday

As you can see, it’s been a while since I last published a post. This seems to be a common phrase here. I always say that I’m going to try to publish more regularly. I really want to devote more time and energy into my blog, but I everything in life seems to be needing my undivided attention that I just don’t have time and energy to write.

One day, I thought myself, “How can I write something for my blog that’s short and more manageable?” That’s when the idea of motivational Monday crossed my mind. Motivational Monday is a way that I can encourage my followers on my Instagram and Facebook pages while not burdening myself with my blog. With Motivational Monday, I decided to create a graphic with a quote or encouraging word and write something short and sweet in my Instagram and Facebook posts to personalize the graphic. I kept it simple by using Canva to create my visuals with just a picture and text.

My goal was to create a new Motivational Monday every week, but I also wondered how long would this last. Could I keep up with Motivational Monday or would it turn out like my blog of infrequent postings? Knowing myself that I needed some sort of accountability, I decided to ask my friend if he would like to collaborate with me. I share with him my idea about Motivational Monday and asked if he would be willing to send me some scenic pictures so I could use as the background of the graphics. He agreed to send me photos and that’s how Motivational Monday began.

I’m proud to say that I have been able to sustain Motivational Monday for the past 2 months with 6 postings. Hopefully, I’ll be able to keep up with it each week. I’ve enjoyed creating the graphics and writing a short post on Instagram and Facebook. Check out Motivational Monday on my Instagram and Facebook pages. Maybe one day I will write full length blog posts for each of these Motivational Monday. For now, they will be little snippets of creative work.
