My weekends are usually spent chilling out with K or visiting friends and families. Sometimes I lose my motivation for the things I’ve been doing during the week, whether that’s work, play or fitness stuff.
So I thought I’d maybe start sharing some of my favourite inspirational videos each Saturday to keep myself motivated and, hopefully, to offer a little kick-up-the-backside to anyone else who often gets deflated by the break from routine that weekends provide.
Don’t get me wrong – I love my weekends: chilling, relaxing, catching up on a bit of TV and not thinking about many of the things that clog my wee brain during the week. But I do need a quick jog to get back into it on a Monday morning.
Here’s the first in the series, Casey Neistat’s kind-of-commercial for the Nike+ Fuelband. The thing I love about this video is that not only is it kinda cool and inspirational, it’s also a brilliant commercial (undoubtedly intentionally) because by the time it finishes you have no idea what a fuel band actually is, but you want to go buy one.
Check it out, be inspired:

One of the few blogs that I follow posted a great piece this week about get-up-and-go. When we’ve had too long a break in what we’ve been doing, it gets harder and harder to get ourselves started off at it again.
Something I’ve very acutely aware of this week.
It doesn’t bother me if I have an occasional off-day—I can’t be perfect—but I notice that if I let it go too many days in a row, it starts to get easier and easier to make “off” the new normal. Then, I have to fight hard to get the drive back; it isn’t easy anymore.
