This will be my first Motivational Monday post. The concept may evolve over time, but today will serve as a brainstorming session for future posts.
I have begun the process of applying to ten PhD programs in order to further my career as an English professor. After only one semester as an adjunct, I realize I want to climb that ladder as far as I can go — and tenure-track generally requires you to be addressed as “Doctor.” At this juncture, I am awaiting responses for letters of recommendation and preparing for the GRE. My first deadline comes on December 2nd. Let’s get motivated to pursue fulfilling careers!
In other motivational news, I have come to the conclusion that my weight has to decrease for health reasons. As an asthmatic, my respiratory system simply cannot tolerate being over fifty pounds above my target weight. However, I will need to increasingly motivate myself to make sound food choices and exercise regularly. Cake and naps entice me the most, so this battle of will proves to be rigorous. Here’s to cultivating healthy habits and shedding some pounds!
Please do share your feedback and offer suggestions on topics you’d like to read about on Motivational Monday! It’s time to take Monday back!
