On the Move .... with Me, Myself & I Teens!!!

If you have noticed Project P.I.N.K has been on the move A LOT lately. We are working diligently to spread the word out about our organization and preparing  for the launching of the interactive site. We are getting ACTIVE and getting "out". We are receiving tremendous feedback and partnering with other non-profit organizations to obtain our goal:
  • Empower young women to make positive decisions
  • Motivate social change
  • Help young women appreciate their own experiences
  • Encourage young women to become next generation leaders
  • Paint positive images of success


This weekend, we had the pleasure of working with Me, Myself & Teens at their 3rd Annual Teen Girl Seminar. This was an exclusive workshop and panel discussion on teen-related topics with some of Detroit’s inspiring young women. The event included a beauty workshop, etiquette training and a special nail bar.

Me, Myself and I are a non-profit 501(C) status under Soaring Eagles Alternative. MMIT believes that every girl is a beautiful flower waiting to blow beautifully both inside and out. Their mission is to maximize self development and inspiration that will lead to making better life choices in order for her to realize her full potential. They are committed to taking back responsibilities for our girl’s by helping them to choose the right path and pushing the importance of what it means to be true to you.
 The event was a true delight! We truly enjoyed the activities, speakers and panel MYSELF. It was a positive aura and an encouraging message for the young women. To be honest, it was also a self-esteem booster for me and a self-esteem booster.  We are looking forward to attend MMIT Teen Girl Seminar for years to come.

Feeling Lazy?!! I stumbled across this ....

Today I have two tasks that I absolutely need to get done before the end of the day. They are both important. One of these is quite a mundane task; the other is something I will quite enjoy. Now if I think about it, the motivation to do the pleasant task is already there.
However, I don't feel at all motivated to take on the unpleasant work. That, I believe, is basic human nature. So it got me thinking about exactly how we can get motivated to do those less glamorous jobs like filling out your tax return or mowing the lawn or whatever it is that you know you must do, but always have difficulty starting.


Here are my 5 Top Tips for Staying Motivated ...


Get fit & stay fit. You need plenty of energy if you are to stay motivated. So try to find some time each day to fit in some aerobic exercise. This will raise your overall energy levels.


Eat properly. Make sure you take time for proper meals - especially at work. Get away from your desk at lunch time - even if it's only for half an hour. You will be more productive when you are there.
Keep your eyes on the prize. Every day, review your most important goals. See yourself as having accomplished them. See yourself receiving the prize, the award or the reward. You will gain a proper perspective on the events of the day by doing this regularly.


Get organized. Make a list of everything you need to do ahead of time. Then decide upon those top two or three priorities you need to accomplish the following day.


Now here's the kicker - do the unpleasant task on your list first! You will feel so much more motivated when you have it out of the way. Not only that, but if you keep doing this, you will wonder why those tasks gave you any kind of mental difficulty in the first place.
