Monologue

Motivation&Positivity

Hello Mr Sexson, this is my monologue for the aelp speaking course 2014-02-13

I’m gonna do a monologue on positivity and how I personally keep myself motivated

So I pretty much summarized these tips into like 3 main principles.

I hope that you enjoy this monologue and lets get started.

1.KEEP YOURSELF IN A POSITIVE ENVIRONMENT

So the first thing is to make sure you’re in a positive environment/positive atmosphere where you are sleeping,where youre working and living.

That could be like Your appartment, your room, your desk and office space.

It’s important to make sure that you are enjoying being in that space, so – is it clean?is it organized? Does it look aesthetically pleasing?

I personally like to keep everthing organized and clean , and I feel like that just makes everything look prettier so then when I’m walking by s.th. I’m like „oh that looks really nice!“

It makes you feel better when you’re in a space that is aesthetically pleasing,right? So maybe put flowers in your room if you want to, put a nice colour on the wall or put quotes around you,put pictures of your family and friends around you – just make your space beautiful and positive!

And that also goes for music like listen to good music, music always makes me feel good, so I always like to have music on. And if you have anything thats like negative in your room whether that be like a picture of someone that you maybe dont get along with anymore –get rid of that old stuff, because of course you want to be in a positive atmosphere. Maybe theres a few quotes that you like that you might wanna frame in or write down somewhere that you can see it, again to keep yourself in a positive atmosphere. So thats number one. 2. NOURISH YOURSELF, EAT HEALTHY The next step is to nourish yourself well. I feel the biggest difference when i eat healthy, if I’m like slacking off. I can feel the difference in my body, for example when I moved to Osnabrück i was in packing and everything was pretty stressfull, and i didnt have time to properly prepare food for myself, and i ate a bit of everything and i didnt feel Good inside, my body didnt feel good. But when I eat clean and healthy and really put effort into what i’m eating, it makes me feel so good, it makes my mood better, and i have more energy to do things. Ist so important to take time in the day to properly prepare meals for yourself and show your body some love and take care of it, and it’ll show you love back;-) Overall it definitely makes me feel more positive, when i go to bed after having a really good day of like eating well, i feel better about myself. 3. SORROUND YOURSELF WITH POSITIVE PEOPLE

The 3rd tip is to surround yourself with positive people, and this is so so important. Nothing is worse than beeing with someone who is constantly negative, its so taxing on your body. And i feel like negativity just breeds more negativity, and at the and of the day its not your responsibility to have to deal with everyone elses negativity , i mean its important to be a good friend, if your friend is obviously going through s.th., ist important to be there for them. But if this person is just constantly having negativity, and being bashful about other people, and talking and gossiping and all that, ist just like so unneccesary and theres so many other things you can fill your head with than drama and gossip and things like that. One of the scary things i think when thinking this way is that you probably gonna lose lose a lot of friends, but i feel like that is better than having friends that are negative or constantly gossiping, it jut does nothing really productive. Instead you can find other positive things to do like read a good book, join a club where you might find other people who are like minded to yourself, like an acting or art studio, or photography class or you know whatever your interest is.

END So those are my 3 tips, which are just overall and general and might seem obvious but ist about to be a good person, to be a helpful person, a positive person because it is so important and makes a big difference. i hope that you enjoyed this monologue, and thank you very much for listening!
