The Monday Project #2: The Motivation Wall
How fitting, since it’s “Motivation Monday” and all!
Welcome two The Monday Project, week #2: The Motivation Wall!!
By the way, have you read everyone’s Monday Project #1, Project “Me”? Have you done yours yet? (You can still link up if you want, there is no deadline! However, the earlier you link up, the more people will come visit you!)
Well the projects, they were amazing! I laughed, I cried (it was better than Cats!). I just love how many sisters participated, it was wonderful!! There were so many great goal ideas, so many people who came so far, so many people whose determination was just so contagious it gave me goosebumps! Hooray, sisters!! Hooray for all of you!!
This week our project is funner. (I know “funner” is not a word, I’m trying to make it one. It’s my favorite.)
This week, we’re creating a “Wall of Motivation”. I wrote a post about my “Wall of Motivation” a couple of months ago and this is what it looked like:
I put some corkboard on the back of my bedroom door so every time I walk through it, I see my “motivation”. I see Ironman champion Chrissie Wellington and my 13.1 “Been There, Run That” sticker that I got after running a half-marathon last year. I continue to add to it and I will show you where it is on Friday, when we link up.
This week, the project is to create your own “Wall of Motivation”. Find a wipey board to write messages on, use your fridge to hang pictures, hang a corkboard or a message board somewhere, and put anything that you find motivating on it. Put pictures of yourself, other people, quotes, stickers, anything that lights that fire inside you!!
Anything that makes you smile. That makes you feel like a better person. That makes you want to be a better person. Anything. And be creative!!
There is only one thing that I ask. Write down your goals, the ones you have made at the beginning of this challenge (and if you haven’t made any, this is the perfect time to make them!) Write them down or type them out and print them. Somewhere on your “Wall of Motivation,” hang them. Put your goals in writing and put them up on your “Wall of Motivation.”
Then, take a picture of the finished product, post about it, and link back up here on Friday. I can’t wait to see what everyone comes up with! (And like last week, there just might be a giveaway involved. But you’ll have to come back here to see.)
Happy Motivation Monday everyone! Have a wonderful week!! Stay strong!

Love this project! I keep meaning to do something along these lines, but never get around to it.
how fun! I sort of have one started already…now I'll have to add a few things to it!
this will be more tough for me than last week – i'm not a big fan of clutter in my house, so i'm very particular about where i hang things. i'm thinking maybe my walk-in closet or else the laundry room would be perfect for this project (where i pack my workout bag & where I unpack it).
i've already got a couple of ideas. i need to put poster board (cause i'm the cheapest person on the planet) on my grocery list.
I'm excited by this challenge! I have a white board and cork board combo thingy that my SIL made for me and I wrote my long and short term goals on it. I'll add some other “goodies” to it and post Friday!! :)
Sounds interesting. I scrapbook so maybe something along those lines.Hmmm?!
Okay, this sounds like fun. Much more fun than last week, although I really ended up loving last week.
This week's project sounds much funner! I'm still working on Project “Me”. It really opened up some emotional floodgates that I need to finish before I post it.
While I may not be the most creative person I do have ideas floating around in my head for this one. I think we have some legal size printing paper upstairs in the office so I know what size mine will be. LOL
I cannot wait to see what everyone else comes up with.
This one will get my creative juices flowing (at least I hope so)!! Not sure what to do yet, but I have a couple of pictures in mind to use if I can find them!

This one is SO MUCH FUN! I can't wait to get started & to see what everyone comes up with!!
My wall is already up, so I am definitely in!
Love this project! I already have one started so now I can just add the finishing touches! And try to remember to take a picture of course!
Oh can't wait…gotta start thinking of what will drive me!
Fantastic idea!! Off to get it done right now! :D
Love this project! I did a Dream Board a couple of years ago that was for my life overall, but I love the idea of doing this to center only around my weight and exercise goals. Can't wait to see what everyone comes up with!
