Happy Monday, world!
You know, a lot of people I know think Mondays suck. I disagree; I think Mondays are awesome. You know why? Because every seven days, there's a new week - a chance for a fresh start. Mondays are full of possibility, opportunities, and chances to make life better...even if life is already pretty good. Cause there's always room for improvement, right? And I am always down for a new beginning or a new project.
"Whaaaat?" you may be thinking to yourself. "She's nuts. I have no time for new projects and Mondays are hard enough to just get through." I hear that one a lot.
No time.
Just have to get through the day.
What if you decided not to cooperate with the nasty Monday conveyor belt? I mean, think about it for a minute - what is is about Mondays that make them so daunting? The beginning of a work week? Five whole days until the weekend? What would happen if you put a big goofy smile on your face (even if it's fake at first) and went off to work or class or wherever? You might even make someone else smile...and imagine the ripple effect from there!
Right then - so last week I took all the stupid time-gobbling apps out of my devices in order to create more productive time. Bye, Papa Pear...don't let the door hit your ass on the way out, Farm Heroes. And seriously? Screw you, Key Word.
I'm not going to lie to you and tell you I didn't miss them, or didn't have to fight off strong compulsions to put them back on, cause I totally did. BUT you know what I did instead? I got some stuff done! I read a book! I slept just a little more each night! And all those things are pretty cool, except at the beginning of the week my inner toddler was having a giant tantrum because all her favorite toys were gone, and losing the toys seemed like punishment for wasting so much time...and so I had to get an attitude adjustment from my very wise and fabulous nutrition coach Georgie Fear, who said "that sounds like a really positive thing you're doing for yourself!"
Wait, what? A positive thing I'm doing for myself? Not a punishment for being a shitty time manager?
Whoa.
Which made me think, what else could I apply that thinking to? Oh hey, I know -- just about
everything!
Have a great Monday and stay tuned for my book review!
