Embrace Your Monday: A Fresh Perspective How do you feel when Monday rolls around—optimistic, or full of dread? Maybe both. Mondays often bring a mix of emotions, and while we might push through with positive affirmations or sheer willpower, there’s another way to approach the start of the week. Rumi, the 13th-century poet, reminds us that this human experience is like a guest house, where every emotion—joy, sadness, or difficulty—is an unexpected visitor. Welcome them all, even if they bring sorrow, for each has a purpose, perhaps clearing space for new joy. Meet your thoughts and feelings with kindness, as they are guides sent to teach you something valuable. Tara Brach expands on this idea with her concept of Radical Acceptance, which is about acknowledging reality as it is—not giving up but clearing space for creative and logical thinking. Brach's RAIN process can help: Recognize what you're feeling. Acknowledge those emotions—welcome them, as Rumi suggests. Investigate where they reside in your body and breathe through them. Nurture yourself with compassion—speak to yourself as you would to a friend. Let RAIN reset your Monday mindset and have a great week! Contact me for more ideas to “unruffle your mind” any day of the week.

Hello Monday 👋🏾, here we are again. Are the thoughts you have on Monday morning limiting your potential? Do a quick check-in. Sometimes we develop connotations about Mondays that don't serve our higher purpose. We lather, rinse, and repeat, thereby starting the week off with heaviness. Let's interrupt that today! Let's recommit to our goals with intentionality. Let's not let Monday have its way. Here are a few affirmations to get you started: "I am focused and determined, capable of achieving my goals with clarity and purpose." "I am filled with energy and vitality, ready to tackle any challenges that come my way." "I release all limiting beliefs that hold me back and embrace my full potential. I can change the beliefs that do not serve me." "Each day presents new opportunities for growth and transformation, and I embrace them eagerly." "I can audit and adjust my habits and agreements at any time. I am not bound by the limitations of my circumstances." What else can you do to recalibrate today? Share ideas in the comments.

Mondays - where the coffee’s strong, but the will to get on with the grind is hanging by a thread. Need a cup of Joe and some optimism Because without coffee, I’d still be in bed, And without optimism, I’d be questioning all of my life choices right now. 😅 Here’s the Monday lineup: ☑️ Answer emails (without sounding like I’m still half-asleep or sleep deprived). ☑️ Pretend I’ve got my sh*t together during morning meetings. ☑️ Write like Hemingway... after coffee, of course. ☑️ Convince myself that this is the week I finally crush my goals. ☑️Trust that future me will somehow handle the chaos I’m ignoring right now. So here’s to powering through with a full mug and a sprinkle of delusion. Is anyone else running on sarcasm and coffee fumes today? Let’s hear your Monday rituals below! 👇😂

“You are Alive, You take up Space, You have Mass, You Matter.” -Albert Einstein Tomorrow is Monday, for most, you will go back to work. Perhaps in an office, store, or factory. Perhaps in your home office, at your kitchen table, or maybe at Starbucks. Maybe your work means your driving or even flying somewhere! Some people are excited for Monday, some are wondering how they will get through another week. Some fear the week ahead, others mindlessly and simply just go forward almost numb. Some look forward to a victory and celebration. Others struggle, are depressed, and full of worry. Some are focused and hopeful, but some only pray for Friday to arrive. And for many, they read these descriptions and can assign each feeling to various weeks in their past. It is then, that we must remember Albert Einstein…. Not his theory of relativity… but for his reminder…”You Matter!” There are those who love you, care about you, and appreciate you. Unfortunately in this world of anger, frustration, and noise, we can all feel insignificant, tired, and even overwhelmed. This last week when we witnessed the Eclipse and understood the perspective of size and distance, we all understood how small we all are. But Mr. “SmartyPants” Einstein is right… “You Matter!” On Monday you can make a difference. What you do and who you are also matters. If your Monday is going great, then take a few minutes and be kind to someone. Encourage someone, thank someone, complement someone, acknowledge someone, and really listen to someone. You may never know where they are at, but for just a few minutes, they will know someone cared enough to remind them that they mattered to you. Engage, Listen, and Impact someone on Monday (and every day that ends with a “y”. Your Actions Matter, You Matter, and They Matter! #ThoughtThinkers4You

Mondays are for reflecting and planning ahead. For me, that means going through the texts I sent to myself over the last week. Some of my best ideas come to me as I'm falling asleep or fully asleep. I don't like turning a light on, so I grab my phone and voice text myself. Sometimes those ideas are brilliant, and sometimes they're not. But either way, I have found it massively impactful to 𝘄𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗲 𝗶𝘁 𝗱𝗼𝘄𝗻 𝗶𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗹𝘆! What are your Monday rituals? #MondayMotivation #ProductivityTips

Happy Monday! I've said it before and I'll say it again, I do love a good Monday! It feels like a fresh start, almost like a new notebook - or at least a fresh page in one! This Monday has the benefit of being the first in my four-week cycle of my homemade journal too, so I've been through and checked in with where my head is, what my challenges are, and what I'm focusing on for the next cycle. This means I don't have too much of a chance to get lost in the everyday, and can refocus my efforts and really remind myself of what is important...something that sometimes can be hard for me as I get stuck in with life! What do you do to help yourself stay on target and not get too lost in just getting on? Do you have a specific way to remind yourself? I'm always learning, and would love to see what others get up to! Incidentally, part of this cycle's goals is to get my journal out to be buyable as a pdf! Have an amazing Monday! And remember to choose that joy! #Mindset #Motivation #LifeCoach #MindsetCoach #Monday #MondayMotivation #JoyfulLife
