This morning I was checking messages on Facebook and Twitter and couldn’t help but notice the massive amount of negative posts about it being Monday today. Statuses such as: “I wish it was Friday already, bad sign.” or “Dear Monday, get better.” or even, “F**k Monday.”
What is the big deal about it being Monday? It’s the same as any other day. There is no evil force causing you to have a bad day. There is no black cloud that follows you around. I understand most folks have to go back to work after having the weekend off, but still. You get to choose how your Monday will be. It can be an incredible day or it can be a crappy one. Your choice. You get to determine how you respond to it being Monday. You can have a terrible no good very bad day if you want too, but it gets you nowhere (remember that book? Alexander and the terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day? Ha ha, I used to read it when I was little).
Personally, I love Mondays. It’s the start of a brand new week! It’s the first day of the rest of my life. I love it because every Sunday night I will look back at the past week and see what I can do to better myself, my business and my life next week. Monday is the very first day of it. The first day to make changes, refocus and rededicate myself to my goals and the week ahead. I wake up Monday morning excited to take on the day.
Lose the case of the Mondays. It does absolutely nothing for you to be angry or complain about the day. Instead refocus yourself towards your accomplishments. Dedicate yourself to your purpose and charge at the week headfirst. What are you going to make happen this week?
