Hey there!
Did you have a nice weekend?
Monday is here and a new week has begun!
Are you a Monday hater?
Well, Mondays get a bad rap, but really, they provide an opportunity to start fresh and get the week off to a great start. I love that about Mondays!
I’m a firm believer that a positive life is achieved through positive thoughts – I don’t think it’s possible to live a truly positive life if your mind is full of negativity. Honestly, when people ask me the #1 thing to do in order to be healthier, more fit, or happier – I always start with THE MIND. Your mind must be a welcoming home for happy thoughts – and must shut the door on the dark thoughts that come knocking – if you want a shot at having an amazing day, let alone life.
But, let’s be honest, positive thoughts don’t always come to you – maybe your brain is telling you “UGH MONDAY, you’re the worst. I hope I can make it through this day!” I totally have those moments, good gosh, but I try not to let these moments take over.
When your happy home of a brain cracks the door open for negative thoughts to come in and visit, it’s really helpful to have some positive mantras on standby to slam that door shut and rock your day.
I hope that at least one of these hits home with you. Keep it with you throughout the day, the week, the month – as long as you need – and let it sink in! A positive mantra could be the difference between a wonderful day and an awful one. And those days? They add up to a lifetime.
Here are some positive mantras to set your self up for an awesome start to the week! You deserve it!
Life can get busy, but never to busy to focus on the positive!
Cheers to the week ahead!
Wicked Healthy Wonderings? Do you have a favorite positive mantra? What’s your take on Mondays?
I used to dread Mondays when I disliked my job, but they’re not so bad now that I have a job that I love! And sometimes I work on the weekends so Monday kind of blends into the week. I’m not a mantra person but I completely agree with you that a positive attitude is very powerful.
Love this! I’ve used mantras while running, but I’ve never thought about using them for everyday life. You’re a smart cookie!! 🙂
Thank you! Really need :*
So true and such a great reminder!
I try to find the positive in most things because it really is no fun being a grump about everything all the time.
I totally agree! I keep all sorts of mantras around me to keep me motivated. How I respond to Monday seems to set the tone for the entire week.
yes yes, it’a all about the mindset. Thanks for this reminder… NEEDED
love mantras.. and live by them! esp during tough times when I need encouragement.. it always helps 🙂
In fact. I think I am going to take one of those mantras on today. I think I just might need it.
I”m not a mantra person–I’m more of a motto person. But I can certainly attest to the power of a few words for lifting the spirits!
Love it! “I can and I will….SUCCEED”! Happy Monday
I’m obsessed with positive mantras! Right now I’m loving “find joy in the journey”!
Love love love!! Ruthie, this is just what I needed, and I am a HUGE believer in positive mantras. I am determined to think about some of these in my progression run today. Thank you for sharing 🙂
Woohoo to positivity!! Love these mantras, Ruthie! Great post.
