Somedays I find motivation, the other days it finds me!

Ever wonder how I maintain my disposition and focus or at least I think I do - LOL? Well, grab your coffee and prepare to be amazed (or at least mildly amused) by my top-secret morning routine!

1. The "I Woke Up Like This" Playlist

Start your day with music that makes you feel like a superhero in pajamas. My go-to? "Eye of the Tiger" followed by "I Will Survive." Nothing says "I'm ready to conquer the world" quite like air-guitaring in your underwear while your dog looks on in bewilderment.

2. Mission Impossible: Micro-Edition

Break down your day into hilariously small tasks. "Successfully locate both socks" or "Survive making toast without setting off the smoke alarm." Remember, every journey begins with a single step... preferably not on a Lego.

3. Laughter: The Best Medicine (Except for Actual Medicine)

Kickstart your day with a dose of humor. Watch a cat video, read a dad joke, or simply look in the mirror and say, "I'm a responsible adult" with a straight face. As Mark Twain said, "Against the assault of laughter, nothing can stand." Except maybe your bed hair.

4. Visualize Victory (or at Least Mild Success)

Picture yourself crushing your goals like a hamster in a monster truck. Whether it's nailing that presentation or finally remembering to buy milk, see yourself succeeding. If you can dream it, you can do it... unless it involves flying or breathing underwater.

5. The "Why" Behind the "What the Heck am I Doing?"

When motivation fizzles, remember your purpose. Maybe it's to make the world a better place, or perhaps it's to afford that fancy cheese you've been eyeing. As Friedrich Nietzsche almost said, "He who has a why to live can bear almost any how... and most cheeses."

Remember, life's too short to start your day without a smile. So go forth, be awesome, and if all else fails, there's always tomorrow to try again. After all, as the great coach Jill Harris Helmer once said, "Sun will rise again, and we will try again."
