MONDAY QUOTE / JUST DO IT!

source: tumblr

We all know this slogan. (At least the first part.) But did you think about it yet?

Some of you may know the situation where you want or have to do something but you know you won't make it perfect from the start. The little (devil) perfectionist in me says I should better not do it at all than do it imperfectly. But those are exactly the thoughts I want to cut off. (Read more about it here among my new year resolutions.) So this quote puts it in a nutshell. Just do it! Even if you suck at it.

You can almost never make it perfect. Arrange yourself with mistakes, look at them as chances to come closer to what you think is perfect. That is the only way to improve!

Wir alle kennen diesen Slogan. (Zumindest den ersten Teil.) Aber habt ihr schon einmal genauer darüber nachgedacht? 

Einige von euch haben bestimmt schon des öfteren Situationen erlebt, in denen ihr etwas tun möchtet oder gar müsst, ihr aber im voraus schon wisst, dass ihr es sowieso nicht von Anfang an perfekt hinbekommt. Der kleine (Teufel) Perfektionist in mir sagt genau dann, dass ich es doch lieber ganz lassen soll, als es nicht perfekt zu meistern. Aber genau das sind die Gedanken, die ich in Zukunft unterbinden möchte. (Lest hier bei meinen Neujahrsvorsätzen mehr darüber.) Das heutige Montagszitat fasst die Lösung kurz und knapp zusammen. Just do it! Even if you suck at it. Tu es einfach! Auch wenn du schlecht darin bist. 

Man kann es fast nie perfekt machen. Finde dich mit Fehlern ab und sieh sie als Chance immer näher an deine persönliche Vorstellung von "perfekt" zu gelangen. Und genau das ist der einzige Weg besser zu werden!

MONDAY QUOTE / TIME IS NOW

source: tumblr

Hey there, peeps!

Where have I been? Long story short, I had to reorganize my life and take care of a few things. What I realized the hard way is the quote above: Time is now! Do not procrastinate and work for what you want. If you don't (most of the time) you are the only person suffering from the consequences.

Easier said than done... So for the future you can read my tips and the advice I can give from my experience here on the blog. Stay tuned!

Today university started again and I am fully motivated and organized. Because I really don't want to get back to where I was, the solution that works for me is PLANNING! So for example, I plan not just my time at the university but also time to study beside the lectures. Would you be interested in a post about all the things you can do to make life easier? 

Hallo, meine Lieben!

Wo bin ich gewesen? Kurz gesagt, ich musste dringend mein Leben neu ordnen und mich um ein paar Dinge kümmern. Was ich auf die harte Tour lernen musste, sagt obenstehendes Zitat: Time is now! Also "die Zeit ist jetzt". Schiebt die Dinge nicht vor euch her und arbeitet für das, was ihr erreichen möchtet. Wenn wir das nicht tun, seid (in den meisten Fällen) ihr schlussendlich die Person, die unter den Konsequenzen leidet. 

Leichter gesagt, als getan... Also werdet ihr zukünftig Tips und Ratschläge, die ich aus meinen persönlichen Erfahrungen gesammelt habe, hier auf meinem Blog lesen können. Bleibt dran!

Heute hat bei mir wieder die Universität angefangen und ich bin vollkommen motiviert und organisiert. Weil ich jedoch nicht wieder dahin zurück möchte, wo ich noch vor einiger Zeit war, heisst meine Geheimwaffe PLANEN! Ich plane beispielsweise nicht nur meinen regulären Stundenplan an der Uni, sondern plane mir auch Zeit zum Lernen oder Vor- und Nachbereiten der Vorlesungen ein. Wäret ihr interessiert an einem Post über all die Dinge, die ihr tun könnt, um euch euer Leben einfacher zu gestalten?

MONDAY QUOTE / NO MORE WORDS NEEDED

Hey there, peeps!

Sometimes no words are needed. And I think that applies to todays Monday Quote. 

Soo... Happy Monday everybody and never forget to believe in yourself!



Hallo, meine Lieben!

Manchmal bedarf es keiner grossen Worte. Und ich denke das trifft auf das heutige Montags-Zitat zu. 

Also... Ich wünsche euch allen einen schönen Montag und vergesst niemals, an euch selbst zu glauben!

MONDAY QUOTE/ No train no gain

Beginning of the year and Monday in less than a week, that's the way *aha-aha* I like it. (Who also sang along reading this?)

Almost one week ago my new eating- and fitness-routine has started. Yes, just a few days yet but we have to start somewhere, right?

With this program I think I really found a good method to finally achieve my goals, health-, fit- and body-wise.

I might talk about my experience and all the details here on the blog again in the future. But for now I would like to keep it personal. 

Do you set yourself health- or fitness-goals for the new year too? 

Der Beginn des neuen Jahres und Montag innerhalb von weniger als einer Woche, that's the way *aha-aha* I like it. (Wer von euch hat beim lesen mitgesungen?)
Vor fast einer Woche hat meine neue Essens- und Fitnessroutine begonnen. Erst ein paar Tage, erst der Anfang. Aber bekanntlich ist der Anfang die Hälfte des Ganzen, nicht wahr?
Ich denke mit diesem Programm habe ich eine gute Methode für mich gefunden um meine Gesundheits-, Fitness- und Körperziele zu erreichen. 
Ich werde in Zukunft vielleicht wieder auf meine Erfahrungen und über die Details berichten. Doch zur Zeit würde ich es gerne für mich behalten.
Habt ihr euch auch Ziele in Sachen Gesundheit- und Fitness gesetzt?

MONDAY QUOTE/ Start living the life you imagine

It's Monday quote time again and I am back on the blog!

*Yayy* 

Christmas is just around the corner and we are almost welcoming the new year.

So let's start living the life we imagined, not later than january first. I already wrote myself a new years resolutions-list. 

How about you?

MONDAY QUOTE/ KEEP GOING NO MATTER WHAT

source: unknown

Happy Monday peeps.

Soon I will write my exams at university. All of you know those phases where you just don't want to study anymore. And that's where today's Monday quote comes in: Keep going, no matter what!

Because that is what we actually want, right? (I know, It sometimes doesn't feel like we want THAT.) Why would we do/study what we do,  if we don't see the purpose we do it. And if we know the purpose of, maybe an exhausting task, it is easier to keep going. 

So - Keep going peeps! (I will as well)

MONDAY QUOTE/ 1st OF DECEMBER

Happy monday and happy 1st of December!

Like the quote says: You have one month to finish the book of 2014. Make the last chapter a perfect one. 

Let's make the last month of the year perfect.

I am in love with the spirit of the Advents season. So that will make it much easier to enjoy a perfect last month of the year.

Stay tuned to read about my favorite Sunday activities in the colder months of the year, like I announced yesterday.

MONDAY QUOTE/ The perks of being an Earlybird.

Happy monday peeps.

Those of you who read my blog before know that I am a fan of fresh starts. So days like today are exiting. I mean, it is Monday and a new morning (obviously). Two perfect occasions to start all over. 

This time my goal is to get up earlier. The six points you see above are a good inspiration to boost your motivation and to really achieve my goal.

Time to start chasing my dreams with goal setting and plans and not only sleep and dream about them.

Stay motivated!

MONDAY QUOTE

Hey there peeps

It's monday again and it's cold-/ flu-season. And the virus got me too. When I am not feeling good, I just want to hide under my blanket and preferably not come out ever again. 

That is plausible part of the time. We definitely should get rest and cure the illness. 

My belief is, that our body reacts to our mind. So when I constantly think of how ill I am, I truly believe that my body will try to achieve that condition or it will at least not speed up to get healthy. 

I got this belief not only in the case of sickness but also that every other negative or positive thought will have affection on our body and actions.

So I decided to use that. I try to "pretend" that I am healthy and support my body. That expresses in:

- Take a shower, you will feel much fresher and the hot  

  steam will be good for your throat and nasal area.

- Get dressed and put on a little make-up (a colorful lipstick  

  will cheer you up!)

- Eat your vitamin C, girls!

- Drink tea, a LOT of tea.

- Make yourself a nice homemade soup.

- Get a little fresh air (go get the ingredients for your soup,    

  but make sure you wrap yourself up in big knits!)

- Wash your bedding (at 95 degrees Celsius to kill all the     

  germs!)

- Wash your hands regularly and sanitize them. (Also not to 

  infect others.)

- Make sure you are always warm. (Scarfs, woolen socks and 

  chunky knits are your best friends!)

And when you are feeling better and not like you are dying anymore, try to make a routine. First at home, like getting some work done for university. Then outside at work, school or university. And there you are, feeling better and more productive. Your mind will feel better, so your body will follow. 

But please, I am not an expert, I am just talking about what works for me. The most important thing is to look after yourself! 

If you are fighting the cold or flu too, feel better soon!

Otherwise, go out and enjoy the week (not coughing)!

P.S. Take a look at my previous "Monday Quotes" (here, here, here and here).

MONDAY QUOTE

source

Hey there peeps.

Its monday again and most of us could need some motivation on a monday, right? 

With this quote it is a bit easier to start into this week. 

If you are not motivated it may be because you don't have goals and dreams to reach out for. So first question to ask yourself: What do I want? 

Yes, that's a big one, I know. But when you know what you really want and you know what you have to do to get there, it can motivate you and make monday a piece of cake.

Think about it and make yourself aware of it every morning! 

(And yes, I totally listen to myself here!)

Hallo ihr Lieben.

Es ist wiedermal Montag und die meisten von uns könnten etwas Motivation ganz gut gebrauchen, nicht wahr?

Mit diesem Zitat wird der Start in diese Woche ein bisschen leichter. Wenn du nicht motiviert bist, könnte es daran liegen, dass du keine Ziele und Träume hast, nach denen du streben kannst. Also sollte die erste Frage die du dir stellst sein: Was will ICH?

Ja, ich weiss, das ist eine grosse Frage. Aber wenn du weisst, was du wirklich willst und wenn du weisst, wie du dahin kommst, kann es dich motivieren und den Montag jeweils zu einem Klacks machen.

Denk darüber nach und mach dir das jeden Morgen erneut bewusst! 

(Und ja, ich höre mir selbst hier gerade ganz genau zu!)

Hey there peeps.

Yes, its monday again. Combined with the first of september. I mean, this screams for making a step in the right direction. No matter what it is. Do you want to live a healthier life? Do you want to donate money or do something for charitys sake? Do you want to achieve something and go the extra mile at your job or your school? Do it! Make the first small step! Like Aristoteles already said - Well begun is half done.

 Remind yourself - you are amazing!

"MONDAY QUOTE"

Hey there peeps.

It's monday again, together with tomorrow, the beginning of the month and new year, a perfect occasion to start all over again. Maybe you have recognized that I am kind of into changing and improving myself as a person, my life, my habits, my work and my accomplishments. You could say, I am constantly working on myself. I don't want to say that I am always succesful in what I do or that I achieve everything exactly how I planned it or that I even manage to achieve those goals at all. I mean, we are all human, right? 

But like todays MONDAY QUOTE says - Every accomplishment starts with the decision to try. 

Just try and start. Do your best and dont give up too easily. Most of the time you can do more than you think you can. (And yes, I have to remind myself to be aware of this every day.)

 From now on, there will be a MONDAY QUOTE every monday. Because who doesn't need a motivating and inspiring phrase on this, commonly not quite popular day. So stay tuned, peeps!
