Dear MOTIVATION: I’m holding on with both hands this holiday season. Though I’m employed and showing up at work to work hard each day, my money is funny this holiday season (finances are tight), and honestly, I’m behind on a few bills. As Christmas day approaches, my spirit feels low, and I lack the motivation […]
Dear MOTIVATION: The holidays always bring me stress because I feel an overwhelming pressure for everything to be perfect. I create a long list of tasks and expectations, but there never seems to be enough time to accomplish them all. I want to enjoy the season, but I end up feeling rushed, exhausted and disappointed.

Dear MOTIVATION: As Christmas Eve and Day approaches, I feel an overwhelming desire to honor my late husband during our family dinner.

Dear MOTIVATION: I feel overburdened by the pressure to give elaborate gifts this holiday season, but my budget is tighter than ever after losing my job in October. I want to show my loved ones how much they mean to me, but I worry that my limited finances will prevent me from doing so. How […]

Dear MOTIVATION: I cringe at the thought of the office holiday party. Every year, I feel my anxiety increase more and more as the date approaches. Small talk is not my strength, and I often feel out of place among my co-workers, who seem to connect with and welcome one another effortlessly. I want to […]
Dear MOTIVATION: I wanted to take a moment to express how incredibly grateful I am for my manager. She inspires and motivates our team daily with her positive attitude and unwavering support and empowerment. Her encouragement has made a significant difference in our work environment, and I often find myself wondering how I can show […]
Dear MOTIVATION: I recently lost a loved one, and I feel completely lost. The days blur together, and the weight of sadness is heavy on my heart. I often find myself reminiscing about the happy times, but instead of comfort, it just deepens my sorrow. I know I must find a way to process this […]
Dear MOTIVATION: I find myself struggling to stay motivated and committed to my fitness goals. Every time I begin a new routine, enthusiasm quickly fades, and I feel stuck in a cycle of starts and stops. I want to improve my health and feel energized but often resort to old habits. I’ve tried group classes, […]
Dear MOTIVATION: I recently moved to a new city (Chicago) for work, and with the holidays approaching, I cannot shake the feeling of loneliness. I do not know anyone here, and all the holiday festivities seem to highlight my isolation. How can I find community and connection during this season? I’ve considered volunteering or attending […]
