Motivational Mondays Week 6: Go to work one day with no make-up on

6 weeks ago on a quest in 2014 to face some fears and mainly move out of my comfort zones I began Motivational Mondays.  I'm hoping to grow in many areas by embarking on this journey.  If I'm ever going to be a Reality TV Star I can't be a bore so I've decided to get up off my duff.  =)

So, on week 6 I decided to tackle #32:  Going to work one day with no make up on

Some of you may be thinking "That's not that big of a deal"  or "I hardly ever wear make up anyway"  or whatever else.  This for me was a step out of my comfort zone because this is a new job and I have gotten up early to do my make up everyday since I started there on December 30th.  There have been plenty of jobs that I have had where I wore make up for a little bit then got lazy and decided to stay in bed rather than get up and spend time on make-up. What makes this even harder is that I LOATHE mornings and would love to stay in bed another 10-15 rather than wear make-up... and that's exactly what ended up happening.. I hadn't actually had a plan on Friday to go without make up and I still hadn't decided what I was going to do for Motivational Mondays this week.. so, when I got up late AND had to leave early after our big snow I made the decision then there w/b no make-up and voila'... it's the makings of a Motivational Mondays Blog.  So... now that my secret is out that I do not *always* spend hours and days consumed on what I am going to do and how I am going to achieve my goals for Motivational Mondays, but I am still constantly stepping out of my comfort zone or facing my fears.

So, Friday morning I roll out of my warm cozy bed.. oh and did I mention that I haven't had heat since Wednesday when I got home from work?  Oh yeah... so out of the cozy bed I roll to get ready via the warm glow of a space heater keeping the bedroom toasty enough to deal and I am running VERY late.  Not only am I running late adding to my decision to not wear make up it is also only 47 degrees in the bathroom so I don't want to stay in there any longer than I have to.

So, off I run to work with NO make-up.  Actually, if anyone noticed, I couldn't tell.  None of my acquaintances said anything and after so long I even forgot that I wasn't wearing make-up especially since I don't ahve to look at me as a reminder.... SCARY!

So, I stepped out of my zone of comfiness and it really wasn't that bad.

Week 6 is a wonderful success!  And I just may be staying in bed later much more often now that I found that I can totally deal with a naked face at the workplace.

Alright, later gators!  And remember to get up off your duffs!
