Transcript
00:00:05 Kevin
Good morning, gang. It is Monday and this is Kevin.
00:00:13 Kevin
I'm exhausted and I'm going to need your help. Well, maybe not. I'm going to need the help of this podcast to get me motivated because I am whooped. I'm tired. I'd rather be in bed right now. But you know what I'm doing? I'm doing this podcast and then I'm off to work because.
00:00:29 Kevin
That's what you do.
00:00:30 Kevin
So this morning's theme?
00:00:33 Kevin
For the for the motivational Monday is finding your summer spark. So what we're going to do is you're gonna find something that gives you vibrant energy throughout your summer, something you love doing, whether it's gardening, it's going for a like a morning run.
00:00:52 Kevin
When it's coolest in the day or the evening run.
00:00:57 Kevin
Find that fun thing that fuels you, something that you can also use as an incentive structure, which we've gone over in the show before. How incentive structures work you should set yourself a little incentive, right? Like, hey all I have to do is get through my work day.
00:01:14 Kevin
And then I can go for that run.
00:01:17 Kevin
Or I can you know? And it's your little reward for the end of the day. And and that's all you need to push it through. And you'd be surprised how little it takes to reward yourself.
00:01:26 Kevin
To get your eyes through the day, especially if something you really like doing something so simple like I love cooking dinner. So what I'm going to do is I'm gonna go home and cook dinner. Oh, I'm going to be all fat.
00:01:36 Kevin
I'm going to fall asleep.
00:01:38 Kevin
That sounds good, and that sounds like it motivated you to complete your day.
00:01:43 Kevin
I don't know what else to tell you guys. Like, I'm exhausted. Yeah, the weekends, they just they hit you harder than everything else. And then then Monday starts. And that's why nobody likes Monday is because we overexert ourselves on the weekends and it's not Monday's fault. Monday's just there.
00:02:05 Kevin
Anyways, people walking by the studio.
00:02:10 Kevin
So with that said, we need you to push your way through and then in.
00:02:16 Kevin
I guess later news because it is summer now, it is summer.
00:02:22 Kevin
In lighter news, last wow, it was a week ago.
00:02:27 Kevin
Saturday.
00:02:29 Kevin
It was, it was Sunday. It was Sunday. I was exhausted on Sunday and no, it was week ago. Saturday I was. I became exhausted because of not this past Saturday, but Saturday before. And it was Saint Bruce Campbell's day. And we didn't do anything special on the show. I celebrated it in like, you know, full fashion. We went to the festival.
00:02:49 Kevin
Festival. It was very exhausting and taxing. We had fun with the kids and and as St. Bruce Campbell would want us to do, right. He is the Bruce Campbell and then we usually celebrate his birthday.
00:03:00 Kevin
Every year at Saint Bruce Campbells Day, he's become a St. in the Church of the Order of Tempest, which is our if you follow the channel, it's our church. So.
00:03:11 Kevin
But we missed it this year. Well, we didn't miss it. We partook in it. Normally we do a little bit of a celebration and reminding you that it's going on and a lot of people miss it. So. And it just occurred to me the other day that I didn't do anything to draw you all in to Saint Bruce. Campbells day. So next year, there's always next year.
00:03:23
Right.
00:03:30 Kevin
Folks.
00:03:32 Kevin
That's the beautiful thing about a St. is like this. St. still here. But even after he's gone, we'll celebrate that day. So motivate your Monday figure. Sit down this morning before you head off to work and be like, what do I really like doing? What do I really like doing? Ask your spouse if you're just having.
00:03:50 Kevin
Like brain fog from the weekend and you're just like.
00:03:52 Kevin
Honey, what do I like doing? And then she'll be like, well, like you like being a fat ***** ** **** on the couch. You have to work like, oh, there it is.
00:04:00 Kevin
So.
00:04:02 Kevin
I'm sure that's what mine would say so, but all right, gang, you enjoy the rest of your Monday. We'll see you next time on life 22.
00:04:13 Kevin
Deuces.
