âď¸Happy Monday âď¸
How did I turn myself into a Monday lover? I changed the script. I used to look at Mondays as the same old start to a repetitive schedule. Monday used to bring this negative cloud of what my week would look like day in day out. Mondays used to bring the same dread of the whole week, chomping at the bit to make it to the weekend, counting days down to Friday.
Now..
Monday is my favorite day of the week. I changed the script. Instead of dreading the same weekly expectation, I started looking at Mondays as a chance to set the tone of the week. On Mondays I get to start chipping away at new goals, ditch the hard week I had before, change my system, prepare a new plan, heck maybe even try something new. When I change my routines, I always start on Monday. That gives me 5 work days and 7 full days to start a new routine. I get 7 full days to creat a new pattern. I get 7 full days to try something new. I get 7 full days to rewrite my script, work at new goals, work towards new routines or just set myself up better.
Iâve ditched saying âI canât wait for the weekendâ and replaced it with âI canât wait for Monday to get here. A new chance to start overâ.
Mondays donât have to be hard. They can be exciting and electrifying.
Hereâs to hoping you have a phenomenal Monday that sets up the rest of your week. Mindset over matter.
We didnât get to participate in the 2026 Best Of The Best, but here is a throwback picture to BOTB 2025 (a little fomo happened over the weekend). A great reminder of what weâre working towards⌠moving forward, one step at a time. One week at a time. One Monday at a time.
