This is the way

The Mandalorian is a piece of cinematic brilliance. I should clarify that I鈥檓 not being sponsored by Disney to promote their seeming monopoly on the entertainment industry. It鈥檚 just a series that draws a lot of things I love together. A Star Wars series, where Taika Waititi is a director, based on an iconic character with amazing concept art.听

鈥淭his is the way鈥 is a mantra in the series. I know it鈥檚 a little bit lame, but it鈥檚 actually been really helpful for me to repeat that line to myself when I know what I have to do and I鈥檓 having trouble doing it.听

It helps when I need to give myself a kick of motivation to get out the door, when I need to get out of bed, when I need to pull my head away from overthinking. Just to have a short phrase to go to and remind myself. Remind myself that I am doing all I can to do things worth doing and听fight for things that are worth fighting for.听

Sometimes just a few words help to remind us of really important things that slip our mind in the moment. Just do it. Keep calm and carry on. This is the way. Don鈥檛 give up. If, like me, you don鈥檛 have the time to come up with your own; you can always grab one of these phrases from a popular television听series.
