Mood Boosters: Part II

Inspiration Portfolio

Hi there,

Let’s face it--we can all use a dose of inspiration from time to time.  Looking at something aesthetically pleasing or reading something motivating can put a smile on our faces.  It can also light up the serotonin areas of our brains which plays a major role in our mood.  Keeping an inspiration portfolio is something I do routinely.  It can be challenging to remain motivated and inspired which is why focusing on the good like keeping an inspiration portfolio is particularly therapeutic.  So what should go in your portfolio?  Here are some suggestions.

First I compiled articles that focused on success.  Specifically those that shared advice on how to be successful at work and life.  Next I started writing down quotes or sayings that I found to be motivating.  These have come from a variety of sources like books I have read, magazines, the Bible, or advice people have shared.  Lastly, keep adding to it, put them in some sheet protectors and a binder and you’re all set!

On days where you feel particularly unmotivated, break it out and have a glance at it!
