MoMonday - Motivational Messages for Your Monday


The beginning of the week has always been a hurdle for many to be motivated and get the ball rolling. Mondays are probably the most hated day of the week as it is the day after your weekend off from work, school and pains of life. Just the thought of what you will have to do for the week when you wake up on that Monday morning will force people to lay under their bed sheets and hopefully wake up on a Saturday morning. Sometimes, we just need someone to wake us up with their messages of motivation.

A solution that a group in Toronto has created is a monthly event called, “MoMondays” (Motivational Mondays).  

“MoMondays™ is like a cross between open mic comedy and TED Talks, but with professional and amateur motivational speakers. Each event, you’ll see six to eight speakers tell a few stories from their speeches. Some are funny, some are thought-provoking, all are motivating.”


This event has been so successful that another MoMonday event will begin in Winnipeg on (surprise!) Monday, November 12, 2012. Be sure to also attend their Toronto event on November 26 in The Pilot Tavern, 22 Cumberland Street near Yonge and Bloor.
 
This is a great alternative in finding motivation from others as opposed to having to search by yourself for your own personal motivation as I have mentioned in last weeks blog about the online motivational community, /r/Get Motivated. Plus, since each event will have 6-8 speakers, at least one of them will give a message that will strike a cord with you and will help you find what motivates you the most whether it may be through humor or a little on the serious side. This event is truly for everybody!

This concludes this week’s blog post. As always, I thank and encourage you to connect with me in my Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, and YouTube under the name HealthMotivates and in my Fitocracy account under my personal username, EJlogic. Enjoy the rest of the week and make sure to not just motivate yourself but others as well!

And without further ado, this weeks motivational quote with an amazing message:

“To be a happy a citizen, the first is a thought, you’ve got to decide. And the second is an action.”

-Marguerite Orane (A motivational speaker from last month’s MoMonday event, her speech last month that I found on the MoMondays YouTube channel is great! The organizers definitely have quality speakers!)
