Good #MythicalMonday friends! We made it. We’re thirteen Mondays in and we are still standing. We’re a quarter of the way through 2023 and we are still standing. We are tired and ache and have bumps and bruises from where we’ve stumbled and tripped along the way, but we are still standing. We made it. I hope you can find comfort in that. I hope you can look back over your shoulder and see how far you are from the starting line, from that first cool Sunday in January. Even if the direction of your goals and finish lines have changed, recognize you are not where you started. You’ve grown. You’ve adjusted. You’ve made progress. Even if you don’t see it every day, you can look now and see it. Give yourself time to celebrate this, you have time wrap things up for the end of the month before the next chapter starts on Saturday. We made it. 100% more mythical than you were, and only 1/100th of how mythical you can end up being. @mythical @mythicalstore #GMM #BYMB #Merchicality https://www.instagram.com/p/CqTMOu4JAu1/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Good #MythicalMonday Friends! I know I’ve mentioned reaching goals a lot, but I don’t think I’ve ever paused to ask you this question: What does success look like for you? Maybe it’s something small…getting out of bed on time every day for a week. Eating a full meal for breakfast. Drinking more than one glass of water in the day. Maybe it’s a little bit bigger…finishing all your Sunday chores before noon. Making a list and STICKING to it when you go grocery shopping. Reading one book a month because you miss when you read for fun. Maybe it’s HUGE! Making progress in plans to move out of state! Starting to go back to school! Realizing your own self-worth! Success is something that is personal…no one gets to define it but you. And that means you have to let yourself celebrate it, even if it’s something you think is small. Because you worked hard to do it. You made an effort. You made time for something that went well (or, at least, better than you expected). That’s success! Even if you’re not where you want to be yet, you’re not where you were, either. That’s something! So take a moment today, as this first quarter of 2023 starts to wrap up, and really take stock of what you can count as your successes so far. What can you brag about after these first three months? Because that’s important! @mythical @mythicalstore #GMM #BYMB #Merchicality https://www.instagram.com/p/CqBFrsKrwdH/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Good #MythicalMonday Friends! Make something. That’s it. That’s the post. Make something. Express yourself in a physical medium. Make an effort on a short story. Make up a song. Make a cake. Make a mess! It sounds simple, but we so often hold ourselves back because we’re more worried about the finished product than the creation itself. Humans have been making things since before we could accurately record history. We make art. We make clothing. We make ourselves. It is a defining trait of who we are as a species…the need to create and express ourselves. Make something for YOU. I’d keep going on and on about how important it is to make something, but…I’m in the middle of making things myself! So please, take my advice, and make something. And take even more advice: find pride in whatever the end product is…it’s an extension of YOU and that’s something incredible. Magical. Fantastic. @mythical @mythicalstore #GMM #BYMB #Merchicality https://www.instagram.com/p/CpvJNUSL-O6/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Good #MythicalMonday Friends! While we are all writing our own stories like we are running out of time, I wanted to take this opportunity for some sound advice: Take a Break. It is easy to get caught up in projects and progress. Most of us have been taught from childhood that we will only be able to enjoy it once it has been completed. So we spend hour after hour, day after day, toiling away at our to-do lists, our goals, our ambitions. And I say toil, because it becomes less about wanting to get somewhere and more to needing to get somewhere (I’m sure you’ve all begun to pick up that difference over the past three years). Part of the journey IS the journey! Part of the experience IS to stop and smell the roses (or daisies or peonies or whatever happens to grow in your region) and see your footprints behind you. Take a Break! The road you are travelling will still be there in an hour. In a day. In a week. Because it’s your road. But why make the trip if you refuse to stop for gas? For lodging? For The Thing at Exit 322? Take a Break! How else can you remember all the details of your story? Give yourself time to adapt and change to where you’ve come from…the starting line back in January is already so far behind you. Take time to see what you went through to get here, to today. Take a Break! Because more often than not, you’ll find you started good things in the rush to get here. You’ll see the branches you set into motion. And you’ll see that maybe you already started a new path on changes already. If you don’t stop to look around from time to time, you might miss where you’re going. @mythical @mythicalstore #GMM #BYMB #Merchicality https://www.instagram.com/p/CpdeiCtPNvK/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
