5 Motivational Tips for this School Year

School is in full swing! Here are 5 tips to make this the best motivational year yet!

1. Start your day with prayer. Make a morning offering and commit your day to God before doing anything else or talking to anyone else. 
2.  Stick to a schedule. Routine is key to a steady and reliable year. 
3.  Break up your week every once in a while! Go for an impromptu ice cream outing, call a friend, or relax for a half hour while reading a good book.
4. Have something to look forward to. Make a goal or make plans for the weekend and work towards it all week. 
5. Take a breather if you start to feel discouraged or frustrated. Spend a few minutes alone and say a brief prayer before re-opening your textbooks. 

Wishing you a wonderful school year!
