Mid-Week Motivation: Inspiration To Overcome The Wednesday Slump

Hump Day, as it's often referred to, doesn't have to just be about making it up the hill.

Why not instead seek mid-week motivation to continue toward the goals you optimistically set on Monday?

This week, we hardly had to get up off the couch to find inspiration: Super Bowl Sunday offered several uplifting moments we've been reliving since.

Don't worry, though, we did get out of the living room, too. Scroll through the slideshow below to see the things that are encouraging us this week, then let us know in the comments what will keep you ticking all the way through Friday.

• Budweiser's Superbowl Ad

  We never thought we'd say it, but Budweiser's Superbowl commercial makes the cut this week.
