Motivation gets lower OP when there’s people like @VP at the helm. 🙄

Make small goals for yourself each week until vacation. Do something nice for yourself. Continue planning for that vacation - is there a tour you need to book? Sights you want to see? Usually when I’m in a funk I set mini goals for things that make me happy, like going out of my way to my favorite coffee shop in the morning. Gratitude also brings joy and motivation. Do something nice for someone else, or pay it forward if kindness is shown to you. 🤗

I need to crawl into a cave this weekend until this holiday passes.
