“You must not ever stop being whimsical. And you must not, ever, give anyone else the responsibility for your life.” – Mary Oliver, Wild Geese
Mary Oliver, I am learning, was a wonderful poet who recently passed away.
Set a purpose and intent this week – perhaps there is a milestone along a goal you would like to accomplish you could achieve, or maybe commit to spending an hour in the evening with a good book. Either way, Monday is the perfect time for new beginnings!
Perhaps today can be the start of something wonderful!
Did you survive the first Monday of the year? I took down our Christmas decorations. As special and magical as the festive season can be, I am glad to be back in full to a normal routine.
What is your Monday motivation?
Another week, another Monday, but don’t stress. You got this. Take a deep breath in and go for it.
You did not wake up today to be mediocre.
Tomorrow is Monday so let’s do this! There are only two weeks left in 2018 – did you accomplish everything you hoped, was it as magical as you dreamed? What are your aspirations, ambitions and expectations for 2019? Find a few moments in the hustle and bustle of the final holiday rush to take stock and plan ahead.
The future is bright, perhaps 2019 will be the best year yet?
Mondays can be really stressful. Sometimes, you may not feel totally refreshed or motivated to get back to work after the weekend. Any task that is worth doing is likely to be challenging in some way or another. When you feel like your motivation is sapped, remember that even a few steps forward is progress. Keep moving and chipping away, it doesn’t all have to get done today.
Don’t overthink it, just keep going.
Everyone always says Thank God it’s Friday (TGIF) but why not Thank God it’s Monday (TGIM)? Although Mondays are usually the day people return to work after the weekend, that doesn’t mean that it’s necessarily a bad thing. Mondays are also great days to reset, set new goals and write up a to-do list. Find motivation in the beginning of a new week and you can accomplish amazing things!
Maybe Mondays aren’t so bad?
