we all know the stigma around Mondays.
"New week"
"Fresh start"
"Back to the grind"
But isn't it crazy that most people fucking hate Mondays?
In fact, a lot of people spend their Sundays dreading the new week that is supposed to start.
Let's talk about why...
Most people hate Mondays because they have to go back to the "normally scheduled program" called their life.
This schedule consists of college courses that don't excite them, relationships that bore them, families that drain them, jobs they're unsatisfied in, and habits that dissociate them.
They hate this because when Mondays come, "the fun is over."
It's "back to real life".
Mondays are a snoozer for a lot of people.
Operating in zombie mode for the next 5 days.
The truth is, Mondays themselves aren't the enemy.
Mondays themselves don't have to equate "boring".
The truth is,
people hate Mondays because they have to get up and face the consequences of the choices they have made time and time again.
Or perhaps they have to face the consequences of not knowing any better, sooner.
The truth is, people hate Mondays because they STILL aren't doing anything to change their lives.
They're tired, burnt out, confused, and lost from doing things that don't bring any life force within them.
They're going from one unsatisfying thing to the next... Saving fun and excitement for the weekend.
This happens because everyone is just following the status quo and listening to everybody else on what to do with life.
People have the pillars of their life based on shit that just isn't getting them anywhere.
So if you're one of those people who fucking hates Monday...
I of course have a challenge for you.
I want you to make a "fun to do" list for the week.
You know what responsibilities you have, but that doesn't mean you can't also do some fun shit.
You can mix work and play all in one week.
Does it take a little work? Yes.
But really all it takes is redirecting your attention.
So how do you do this?
You bring excitement in your boring ass aspects of life.
You got college classes?
First, ask yourself the real question: Am I studying what I want to study?
If you are and you're just in a rut: Get up a little earlier, go for a walk, meditate, get dressed cute (even if you're doing classes from home), get yourself a coffee and danish before you get into class.
You got a boring-ass relationship?
Spice it up, baby. Switch it up. You guys are most likely in a zombie-like state.
Both of you are tired and stressed. Be sporadic.
Plan to go out on a date this week. Don't want to go out in public? Both of you sit outside & have a glass of wine under the stars. TALK TO EACHOTHER.
Quality time!
Try to have some hot sex.
Ladies put on your nice ass lingerie and seduce your man.
Men, buy your lady some flowers and tell her how much you admire her. Seduce her.
Bring back the ROMANCE.
You guys aren't having sex? Intimacy comes in many forms, touch each other, make out, hug, cuddle, BRING BACK THAT ENERGY.
Is your family draining you? Have a mindful week. Take yourself out somewhere, step away for a few hours. Tell your extended family you need space. Tell your immediate household that you need to help recharging this week. Communication boo.
Job unsatisfied? Remind yourself of your childhood dreams? What did you always want to do growing up? What did you want to do 5 years ago that you've neglected? What do you want to do NOW? Think about it and come up with a game plan. Start making those moves babe.
Do you have poor habits? It's time to shift them. You know what bad habits you carry, STOP them.
If you need some direction, I have a new "aligned morning routine" guide in my monthly membership. This 28-page pdf takes you through what you should be doing in the mornings and WHY.
Your morning routine is the PERFECT space to start shifting your life.
So yes, Mondays are going to seem like shit until YOU do something about them.
Your weeks don't have to be all work. Let yourself play.
I know you got life problems. You may be going through something.
That doesn't mean that you can't be the ultimate creator of your reality and make some shit happen for yourself.
So let's get it, baby.
It's time to bring that excitement back into your life.
