“Certain flaws are necessary for the whole. It would seem strange if old friends lacked certain quirks.”
Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

“People throw away what they could have by insisting on perfection, which they cannot have, and looking for it where they will never find it.”
Edith Schaeffer

One of the most common challenges that people email me about – and I myself have had quite a bit of trouble with – is perfectionism.

It’s an issue that can hold you back in life. Not only from achieving and finishing what you want.

But sometimes from even getting started. While at the same time draining your self-esteem, causing self-doubt and getting you stuck in a negative spiral where it can become harder and harder to start moving forward.

So today I’d like to share 6 things that have helped me – and still helps me to this day – with this destructive and distracting thought habit.

1. Go for good enough.

Aiming for perfection usually winds up in a project or something else never being finished.

So go for good enough instead.

Don’t use it as an excuse to slack off. But simply realize that there is something called good enough and when you are there then you are finished with whatever you are doing.

So find a balance for yourself where you do good work and don’t slack off but at the same time don’t get lost in trying to improve and polish something too much.

How to find that balance? I have found my own balance through trial and error and experience.

2. Realize that you hurt yourself and the people around you by buying into myths of perfection.

By watching too many movies, listening to too many songs and just taking in what the world is telling you it is very easy to be lulled into dreams of perfection.

It sounds so good and wonderful and you want it.

But in real life it clashes with reality and tends to:

• Cause much suffering and stress within you and in the people around you.
• Harm or possibly lead you to end relationships, jobs, projects etc. just because your expectations are out of this world.

I find it very helpful to remind myself of these simple facts.

Whenever I get lost in a perfectionist headspace I remind myself that it will cause me and my world harm.

And so it become easier to switch my focus and thoughts because I want to avoid making destructive choices and avoid causing myself and the people closest to me unnecessary pain.

3. Accept that you are human and so are everyone else.

Set human standards for everyone and accept that life is like that.

Everything and everyone has flaws and things don’t always go as planned. You can still improve things but they will never be perfect.

And realize that you won’t be rejected if things or you aren’t perfect.

At least not by reasonably well-balanced human beings, like most people actually are in reality.

4. Compare yourself to yourself.

Comparing yourself to other people on a regular basis can easily lead to feeling inferior. There will always be a lot of people ahead of you in any area of life.

So compare yourself to yourself…

• See your improvement and how far you have come.
• Look back at what you have overcome.
• Appreciate yourself and focus what you have done and are doing rather than what everyone else is doing.

5. Do what you think is the right thing.

So you realize that perfectionism will harm you and you try to avoid it. But people and media and the society around you have an influence over how you think and feel.

One of the best ways I have found to practically lessen that influence is by doing the right thing as much as possible.

When you do that other people’s expectations have less and less power over you and you take more charge of your life.

Because by doing the right thing your self-esteem and self-confidence goes up and other people’s opinions about you and life will matter less to you.

You have become stronger, more certain in who you are and you are not so easily swayed by external forces.

6. Shape an environment of human standards around you.

Emotions are contagious. So is perfectionism.

And even though you can lessen the impact that your environment has you can also work at the other end of things.

You can reshape your environment by for example:

Reducing or cutting out the sources that try to reinforce perfectionism in you.

Take a little time to review what websites, magazines, podcasts, TV-shows and books you spend a lot of time with. Take a look at if they have realistic and positive expectations or views on you and on life.

And if not, choose to spend more of your time with the sources that lift you up and support you.

Spending less time with nervously perfectionistic people.

And more of your time each week with people who are trying to improve themselves and/or are living a good life in a positive, healthy and relaxed way.

But it’s also a dark and cold time of the year with days that feel too short and work that feels heavier than usual.

For me, this is the time when I find it harder to muster positivity and the motivation that comes easily in spring and summer.

If you’re like me then today’s post will help you out. In it I want to share 105 of the most uplifting, funny and motivational winter quotes for work.

I hope you’ll find something here to give you a boost of energy, renewed motivation and a few laughs to help release a bit of overwhelm and stress in your life.

When Wednesday rolls around your motivation to keep getting things done may have lessened considerably.

I know that is sometimes the case for me at least.

So in this week’s post I’d like to share the top 20 tips and habits that help me to refuel my motivation to get past that midweek hump and keep working in a focused way until Friday afternoon is here and the weekend awaits.

I hope you’ll find something here to help to make your Wednesday even better.

1. Start small (or tiny).

If a project, a task or the next step at work or in school today seems tough or daunting and you wind up procrastinating then break it down into small steps. Steps that take just 5-10 minutes each.

Then get started on that first step to start moving forward once again.

I find that doing this not only gets me out of procrastination but also refuels my motivation and makes the next few steps forward easier and more fun again.

If breaking what you are about to do into small steps still lands you in procrastination then break your task down into tiny steps. Steps that only take 1-2 minutes to complete.

And then get started with the first tiny step.

The most important thing is to just get going and to start moving forward no matter how you actually do that. So be sure to use small or tiny steps frequently to get started and to get to done.

2. Play music that boosts your energy / changes your mood.

One of the easiest ways to boost my motivation right now as I write this is to take a 10 minute break and to play a bunch of songs that are upbeat or inspire me in some way.

Such a break often helps to change my perspective to a more open and inspired one and it becomes easier to move forwards after the break is over.

3. Compete in a friendly way (with others or yourself).

One way to make things more fun even if the task itself is boring is to make completing it into a friendly competition.

If you want you can add a small price for extra motivation like the winner getting a free ice cream or a can of soda from the other person.

Or you can compete with yourself. See if you can do a task faster than the last time – while still delivering a good result – to get some motivation flowing.

4. Remind yourself of what you are working towards.

When the motivation is low during your Wednesday morning and you just want to go back to bed then it’s easy to lose sight of why you’re doing something in the first place.

So take a couple of minutes and write down your top 3 reasons for why you are doing this work at school, at your job or with your business.

Put that physical note where you cannot avoid seeing it every day or turn it into a reminder on your smartphone that pops up once a day for easy access to that motivational boost.

5. Let the motivation flow from other people.

This is perhaps the easiest and simplest one to use if you feel unmotivated.

Simply let the motivation, enthusiasm and energy of other people into your mind, day and life.

I often do that nowadays by reading a chapter or so in a book on my Kindle. Or I watch a video by one of my favorite motivational Youtubers like Ali Abdaal.

6. Declutter and create a workspace that adds a bit more motivation.

When my work space is messy then I find that I have trouble focusing and so it’s easy to get stuck in procrastination in a lack of motivation.

If that is the case for you too then take 5 minutes right now to declutter your work space. Throw out the things that should not be there like old notes and coffee mugs. Put the things that are important back into their homes.

Then, when the work space is decluttered and in order again change your working environment a bit by adding some motivation:

• Put up a note with an inspiring quote or a photo of a loved one on your desk.
• Add a bit of greenery like a small plant if possible (this one’s maybe not for everyone but helps me to connect a little bit with nature and to relax when I work).
• Add a new and inspiring desktop wallpaper for your computer and one for your smartphone too.

7. Tap into gratitude for what you do have.

When you’re tired and in a motivational slump then in my experience it is easy to start seeing pretty much everything in your life through a negative lens. And so your motivation may stay stuck or even sink lower.

One of the quickest ways to get yourself out of that headspace is to tap into gratitude.

So I ask myself this:

What are 3 things I sometimes take for granted but can be grateful for in my life?

My answers when I asked myself this the last time were that I don’t have to go hungry, that I have a roof over my head and that I have an emergency fund if I need it.

8. Mix things up.

A rut can get you mentally stuck in negativity. So mix things up today.

Sit in a new spot when you do your work. Listen to other music or podcasts than you usually do. And go for the lunch option that feels the most new or different to you.

This simple variation can in my experience help to renew that motivation.

9. Take a 3 minute meditation break.

When my mind is overloaded and a bit tired (especially in the afternoons) then I often take a 3 minute meditation break to get rid of the mental clutter and inner tensions and to find a clear focus again.

Here’s how I do it:

I sit down on my comfy sofa and close my eyes. And then I just take slow belly breaths and focus 100% on the air going in and out for 3 minutes. And that’s it.

10. Find the optimism.

Pessimism can be a big drain on energy, creativity and motivation.

Optimism and a constructive perspective can on the other hand refuel your motivation and help you find a path forward.

So when I’m in what looks like a negative situation I like to ask myself questions like:

• What’s one thing that’s good about this situation?
• And what’s one hidden opportunity here?

11. Be kind to yourself when you have a setback.

It’s all too common to be hard on yourself if you fail or stumble.

Avoid that trap of self-beatings that will not help but just make you feel worse by asking yourself this when you have just had a setback:

How would my friend/partner/parent support me and help me in this situation?

Then do things and talk to yourself like he or she would.

12. Learn from your mistakes and stumbles.

We all make mistakes and have setbacks. It is just a normal part of a life well lived.

But when you’re in the middle of such a situation then it can feel tough. A good way to get back into action and to find a motivated perspective again is to see what you can learn from what happened.

I like to ask myself this:

What is one thing I can learn from this setback?

Then I write that lesson down or keep it in mind as I move forward.

13. Compare yourself to yourself (instead of to other people).

When you have the habit of always comparing yourself to other people and their achievements then that can easily become something that drags you down and zaps your motivation.

Because there is always someone that is smarter, richer or more successful than you no matter how much you have or achieve.

A healthier and smarter way to compare is to compare yourself to yourself. To see how far you have come and all the things you have overcome.

Do that to keep your motivation and self-esteem steady and let the often toxic habit of always comparing yourself to others go.

14. Reduce that overstuffed to-do list to just one item.

One look in the morning at a too long to-do list can make anyone lapse into procrastinating for a long while.

I know, I have done that many times.

So here’s a better way I use a to-do list nowadays.

I take out a piece of paper and write a list for my day with just one task to get done. Usually the one that’s most important to me right now or sometimes the one I’ve been procrastinating on for a while.

Then I get started by taking a small or tiny step.

And I have another list in my to-do list app with other tasks to do later on. But I don’t look at that list until the task I wrote down on paper is done.

15. Work out.

Working out doesn’t just affect your body.

I have found over the past 15 years that maybe the biggest benefit of just 20-30 minutes of lifting free weights is that it releases inner tensions and stress and makes me feel more focused once more.

16. Don’t skip your breaks.

I know, it’s tempting to skip taking a break and to just keep working to get more done.

But that’s a very short time solution as your energy, focus and motivation will dip and you are more likely to do work of lower quality, make more mistakes and start procrastinating.

So don’t skip the breaks.

They are just as important to keep doing consistently good work and keep your motivation up day after day and week after week.

17. Look back at your successes (and let them wash over you for 2 minutes).

Sit down and close your eyes.

Let your biggest successes – no matter what area of life they may be in – just wash over you for 2 minutes and let those positive memories and feelings boost your motivation.

18. Start slow.

If you see in your mind that you have to get started with something now and that you have to do it fast, fast, fast then that can sometimes lead to the task feeling too hard and so you procrastinate.

So instead, start slow.

It is better to get started and to do something at a slow speed than to not get started at all.

Plus, when you work at a slower pace – sometimes to just get started and sometimes until the task is fully done – you tend to make fewer mistakes and that may in the end save you both time and trouble.

19. Remember what Michael Jordan said about failure.

If you see failing as this big thing, as a big blow and oftentimes as the sky is falling then you could easily develop a fear of failure.

And so you try to do something one or two times and then quit. Or you don’t try at all.

A better way to look at this to make many of the dreams we have into reality is to look at failure as a stepping stone towards the success you want.

As valuable feedback that may sting for a little while but in the long run is more of a learning experience than something that will hurt a lot or is to be feared.

I often think of what Michael Jordan said about this when I have failed or I just want to amp up my own motivation to keep going:

“I’ve missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I’ve been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.”

20. Just get started (and let the motivation catch up with you).

An important reminder for me is that I don’t actually have to wait for motivation to get started.

I can just get to work with what I need to do anyway. And on some days this is what simply works best to keep that consistency in my work up.

But here’s the funny thing: after I have worked for a while, after I have taken a few steps forward then things feel easier, lighter and more fun. And so the motivation to keep going, to get my task or project to done catches up with me.

“Constant kindness can accomplish much. As the sun makes ice melt, kindness causes misunderstanding, mistrust, and hostility to evaporate.”
Albert Schweitzer

“A single act of kindness throws out roots in all directions, and the roots spring up and make new trees.”
Amelia Earhart

A very simple way to spread more happiness in your own little world is through kindness. It’s often an easy and quick thing you can do as you move through your daily life.

But we sometimes forget about it. Or don’t remember how it can help us all.

Three things that I like to keep in mind and that help me to try to be a kinder person are these:

• I get what I give. Yes, some people will be ungrateful, miserable and not reciprocating no matter what you may do. But most people will over time treat you as you treat them.
• By being kinder to others I am more likely to be kinder to myself. It may sound a bit odd but my experience is that when I am kinder towards others then my self-esteem goes up.
• It creates a happier place to live in. Being kinder simply makes my own little world a nicer and happier place to live in.

So how can you start spreading the kindness and happiness in your daily life?

Here are 15 simple ways to do it.

Pick one of them that resonates with you and start using it today.

1. Express your gratitude. 

Think about what you can be grateful for about someone in your life.

Maybe that he is a good listener, that he often is quick to help out or that he always adds great songs to a Spotify playlist. Or simply that he held up the door for you.

Then express that gratitude in a simple “thank you!” or in a sincere sentence or two.

2. Replace the judgments. 

No one likes to be judged. And the more you judge other people the more you tend to judge yourself.

So despite the temporary benefit of deriving pleasure from the judgments it is not a good or smart long-term habit.

When you feel the urge to judge ask yourself: what is one kind thing I can think or do in this situation instead?

3. Replace the unconstructive criticism. 

Try encouragement instead of excessive criticism. It helps people to both raise their self-confidence and to do a better job.

And it will make things more fun and more light-hearted in the long run.

4. Put yourself in the other person’s shoes. 

It is quite easy to resort to unkindness when you see things just from your perspective.

Two questions that help me to see and to better understand other viewpoints are:

• How would I think and feel it if I were in his or her shoes?
• What parts of this person can I see in myself?

5. Recall how people’s kindness made you feel.

Just sit down for a few minutes and try to recall one time or a few times when other people’s kindness really touched you and helped you out.

Then think about how you can do those very same things for someone in your life.

6. Express kindness for something you may often take for granted.

It is easy to remember and to feel motivated to express kindness when someone is having a rough time or have just finished an important project.

But also remember to express kindness and encouragement for how someone continues to put so much love into the dinners you eat. Or for being on time every day and doing their job well and keeping deadlines.

7. Hide a surprising and kind note.

Leave a small note with a loving or encouraging sentence in your partner’s or child’s lunchbox, hat, tea-container or book that he or she is reading right now.

That minute of your time will put a smile on her face and joy and motivation in her heart.

8. Just be there.

Listen – without thinking about something else – when someone needs to vent.

Just be there fully with your attention.

Or have a conversation and help someone find his or her way out of fear and to a more constructive and grounded perspective.

9. Remember the small acts of kindness too.

Let someone into your lane while driving. Let someone skip ahead of you in a line if he’s in a real hurry.

Hold up the door for someone or ask if they need help when you see them standing around with a map and a confused look.

10. Give someone an uplifting gift.

Someone in your life may have a a tough time right now. Then send him or her an inspirational book or movie. 

Or simply send an email with a link to something inspiring or funny that you have found like a blog, podcast or a comic.

11. Help someone out practically.

Give them a hand when moving or with making dinner or arrangements before a party.

If they need information, then help out by googling it or by asking knowledgeable people that you know.

12. Help the people in your life see how they make a difference in their lives.

When you talk to someone about his or her day or what has been going on lately then make sure to point out how he or she also has spread kindness and happiness.

People are often unaware of the positive things they do or they minimize them in their own minds.

So help them to see themselves in a more positive light and to improve their own self-esteem.

13. Remember the 3 reasons for kindness at the start of this article.

It will help you to be kinder even when you may not always feel much like it.

If you like, write those reasons down on a piece of paper and put that note where you can see it every day.

14. Pay it forward.

When someone does something kind for you – no matter how big or small – then try to pay that forward by being kind to someone else as soon as you can.

15. Be kinder towards yourself.

Then you will naturally treat other people with more kindness too. It is truly a win-win habit.

A simple way to start being kinder toward yourself is to each evening write down 3 things you appreciate about yourself and about what you have done that day in a journal.

A few days to spend quality time with the people who mean the most to us. To count our blessings, both big and small. To laugh a lot. And maybe eat a bit too much.

Mom and Dad, thank you for every wonderful meal, every lesson you have taught me and every bit of love you’ve given me over all these years.

I know I don’t say it nearly enough, but I’m so grateful for you. Happy Thanksgiving to the best sister in the world! See you soon!

Being together is the best part of Thanksgiving, so let’s make the most of our time this holiday.

Grandma, your kitchen has always been the heart of our family. Thank you for every meal, story you’ve told us while cooking and for always lending a listening ear. Happy Thanksgiving!

We’ve sure had our share of heated discussions or worse over the years, but I wouldn’t trade anything for this crazy, but also filled to the brim with love family.

This year, I’m thankful for the people who knew me before I even knew myself – my family. Happy Thanksgiving to all of you and thank you for all you’ve done since my first day here! Know I am always here if you ever need support.

To the person who cooks the turkey, sets the table and makes everything around holiday time work in a sort of magical way really – thank you, and happy Thanksgiving!

Wishing my wonderful family a Thanksgiving full of great food, lovely memories and second helpings until late in the day.

Wishing you a Thanksgiving so cozy, delicious and full of love that it feels like one big hug that lasts all the way til the end of the year.

Thank you for filling our home with lots of love, tons of laughter and just the right amount of wonderful chaos.

I can’t think of a better way to spend Thanksgiving than with the people I hold closest to my heart and that in the end knows me best.

Happy Thanksgiving to my other half and better half! Thank you for building a life, a family and a love with me that I’m so grateful for through life’s ups and downs.

To my kids: you are the reason my heart is so full and I’m so joyful this Thanksgiving. I love you more than all the pie, gravy and stuffing in the world.

Thank you for showing me that the best things in life aren’t things but the experiences we have with the people who mean the most to us. That is what lasting memories are made of.

As we gather for holiday celebrations this year, I simply want you all to know how thankful I am that we’re family and that you mean the world to me.
