Good Morning Friends! I have been up since 3:00am but the good thing is that I made it to the gym this morning after 2 months. Due to my injury, I could not go but boy I felt so good leaving the gym and I know that feeling will continue for a while.
So what's on your schedule this morning. I do have a busy day and week. I am looking forward to seeing how this week flows with work and am for now optimistic that it will be better than last week.
Mondays are just hard right? Since the pandemic started a year ago a lot of days are hard but Mondays are exceptionally harder. By Tuesday we are in the grind all the way till Friday lunch time, then everyone tries to wrap things up for the weekend.
I always struggled with Mondays and still do. I then thought to myself, how can I better welcome Mondays. It seems like once the day is over, I pretty much am in the swing with work and home stuff. It is the time between Sunday evening to Monday late afternoon that I truly don't like.
There seems to be so much resistance to starting the work week and it just causes so much unnecessary stress. I know that Monday will come no matter what and so will Friday. So instead of resisting it, I might be better of thinking well lets do Monday well so I can enjoy Friday better.
You see if you go in with the mindset of oh gosh here we go again, then you will carry that to the other days as well. However, on a Sunday evening, if you say well, it may not feel that great to start the week but I must give it my all so I can look forward to a relaxing weekend.
If you are working, most of how you feel has to do with how you generally feel about your job. If you are truly following your passion and love what you do, then it does not matter what day of the week it is. You may actually welcome Mondays with a huge smile cause you love what you do.
I also know that not many of us feel that way about our jobs and perhaps think about it as getting through to get a paycheck. So when Sunday evening rolls around, you get that dreaded feeling. The intention is not to get rid of the feeling, but to be aware of it.
Pay attention to the feeling and see if you can figure out why you feel that way. For me, because I was so overwhelmed last week, I am still carrying around that load. Letting go and looking at it as a fresh way to start your day changes your thinking. Last week was last week and today is a brand new week.
Changing your perspective can really help you deal with the upcoming week. This morning I said to myself, you've got this!!
It is a new day, a new week and a new moment every single time. We all just have to keep that in mind.
Have a wonderful Monday you all!
Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!
Peace,
Monita
