Kickin’ the Monday Blues

Though no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending. - Carl Bard

Often, as we get ready to start our week, we simply feel dissatisfied with where we are and what lies ahead. As we take on that thought pattern we find ourselves dreading the day, with little or no motivation to get going. That’s why we get the “Monday Blues.” We see the week ahead as a long ordeal that we have to get through.

We develop a pattern, each Monday the same dread of the coming week. Those thoughts lead us to take no action that can create changes in our lives. After all, how can we think about taking action when we are thinking about just getting to the end of the week? As we approach our lives in this manner, week after week goes by and nothing changes.

It's time to change how we are thinking. By changing how we approach our week we will create new behavior and actual start seeing changes. The funny part is, as things change we naturally get excited about our lives. The only reason that the week seems endless in front of you is because you are used to not seeing change. So this Monday, get excited. Tell yourself it is not just another long week ahead. Tell yourself that this week is a week that change will begin.

That is the key, you deciding!

Change begins the moment you decide. 

I know that all the pressures of life can feel at times overwhelming and the idea of getting excited about Monday is foreign.  It is your choice. You can let life paralyze you, or you can attack your life. Be a fighter; a fighter for a better life and decide that you can change.

The exciting part is that the moment you decide “change,’ then change will start happening. So stop looking at the week ahead by complaining that you are not happy with different areas of your life. Don't get overwhelmed, it doesn't have to be huge. It all starts with little things:
Eat a little better
Do a little exercise
Put together a resume
Call a loved one
Smile more

The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing. - Walt Disney

Start doing and get excited because this is a great week ahead. This week you’re creating new positive results by changing how you approach your Monday. Then we are going to make a brand new ending.
 

Your attitude is your decision!
