Happy Monday folks,
Some may ask, why are you saying happy Monday? It's because I'm excited for what this week has in store for me. I believe Mondays are the BEST and most important day of our week. Why you ask?
Mondays are meant to be our thermostat for the temperature of the week. So It's almost like you're getting to control how your week is going to be, by showing up on a Monday for yourself, your responsibilities, and others. One day holds a lot of potential.
Busy schedule? Awesome! A lot to do today? Great!! Woke up in a rush? Slow down.
The Monday blues are so 2020, The Monday motivation is 2022's motto.
Monday Blues: Some common signs of burn out is, "Oh here comes another long work week" "I don't want to go to work today" "I can't wait for the weekend" "I hate Mondays" (all are negative thinking and sometimes signs that you may not be doing what you love to do)
So Monday becomes like a domino effect vs a thermostat. Monday's negative thinking, carries over into Tuesday's fresh world, Then Tuesday repeats itself Wednesday & leaves nothing to look forward to except "rest" on the weekend. The problem with this is that you miss all the little moments to rest, show up for yourself and others through the whole work week.
HOWEVER:
Monday Motivation: Some common signs of motivation Mondays is, "I prepared for my week and rested Sunday" "I'm ready to make this week count" " I can't wait to give it my all today" "Im grateful I have a job" "I get to do what I love & Im good at it" "How can I help someone today or this week?" (all are positive signs that you are taking control over your perception and attitude, & you are living a life that aligns with your core values)
If I wake up Monday with clear intentions on my day, suit up and show up, start the week off with gratitude & emphasis, (Setting the temperature for the week with positive intentions, motivation, & gratitude) I am MOORE than likely to carry that same energy into Tuesday. It's kind of like building blocks. Tuesday builds on Monday, Wednesday builds on Tuesday, & so on. The temperature stays constant through out the week without all the highs and lows that come with the Monday blues.
You also get to go into your weekend feeling accomplished & worthy of enjoying it. Overtime this practice becomes a lifestyle of work-life balance & healthy discipline. It all starts with MONDAY! <3
If you're not going forward, you're Moore than likely going backwards my friend. So my question to you today is: "what's the temperature of your week looking like?"
