#oneaday Day 794: Motivational music

At therapy today, we were talking a bit about motivation, and how I feel like I've been struggling with it a bit of late -- particularly when it comes to things like diet and exercise. One conclusion that I think we came to was that I am much more likely to be motivated to do...
