For today's post, I'm going to share with you all a little picture thread I found called "12 TIPS ON STAYING INSPIRED"! Enjoy!


12 TIPS ON STAYING INSPIRED

Stay Healthy

1. drink a glass of water

When you wake up in the morning, drink a glass of water to start the day fresh.

2. move and sweat

Daily exercise boosts your energy level, improves your mood, and relieves stress.

3. get some sleep

When you get enough rest, you have more energy to do the things that make you happy.

Plan Your Day

4. top 3 tasks

Every morning, make a list of the 3 tasks you want to accomplish that day.

5. the 50/10 rule

Work on one important task for 50 minutes and then take a 10 minute break to refocus.

6. reflect daily

End your day with 10 minutes of reflection and self-evaluation.

Keep Learning

7. reading

Reading increases knowledge, which in turn keeps you inspired.

8. browsing

Watching tutorials and conducting research increases your capabilities.

9. brainstorm

Brainstorming can be a creative gold mine.

Focus on What Makes You Happy

10. express gratitude

Think about 10 things you are grateful for every morning-gratitude promotes happiness.

11. clean your desk

A tidy desk gives you energy and inspiration and lets you focus on the work you need to get done.

12. indulge in your favorite things

Set time aside to relax and enjoy your favorite things like playing with your pet or going for a bike.

Hope you enjoyed! Until next time,

HAPPY ENGINEERING!

Monday Motivation

Hello ladies! I hope you are all doing well and have settled back into the groove of studying! I know that the first round of midterms is coming up, I myself have two this week--so I'd like to give you all a few motivational quotes to help keep you positive and encouraged to get through test season!

"Every artist was first an amateur." -Ralph Waldo Emerson

"The best way to predict your future is to create it." -Peter Drucker

"Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go." -T.S. Elliot

Hopefully these quotes inspire you as much as they inspire me--good luck on all your exams and don't forget to check back on the blog tomorrow for important program updates! Until next time,

HAPPY ENGINEERING!
