For this week’s Wellness Wednesday, motivation is the topic.  Since it is a new year, many of us are feeling a sense of having a fresh start.  Many of us have thought about and/or made resolutions to somehow improve ourselves or our situations for the upcoming year.  It is typical and completely normal that motivation levels are higher at this particular time of year more so than any other.  Attached is a link that discusses motivation:  what it is, staying motivated, common misconceptions, etc.  Please read through the article to see if you can identify with any of its principles.  In the words of my father (that he often said when we had to do something), “Let’s motivate!”
