[MOTIVATION MONDAY] Grab your highlighter!

I say random , crazy shit , which is why I called this podcast the way that I did , and I really hate long drawn out intros , so let's fucking go . I was thinking about this the other day .

When I worked for the federal government , or even in my other past jobs that were Monday to Friday positions , I was constantly hearing from people that would say that by Sunday they were super excited . On Friday , saturday they were busy cleaning the house doing the things .

Saturday they were busy kind of cleaning the house doing the things and by probably around noon on Sunday , the anxiety started to kick in , the resistance started to kick in , the mindset and the self-talk of fuck , I don't want to go to work tomorrow and just in general , they set themselves up to hate Mondays and even when people would come to me as their

manager and say that they were struggling . It was interesting because I always felt like Mondays were exciting days . I always thought , oh my gosh , what cool things are going to happen this week . I felt like Mondays were the start of a new week , like in my brain . I mean , thursdays can be started a new week if we want it to .

But , um , I always thought Mondays was the start of a new week and there was opportunity for amazing things to happen . That sets my brain up to look for amazing things to happen , because all our minds want to do is prove us right . That's it .

So if I start every single Monday , waking up , going , oh , I wonder what exciting things are going to happen today , inevitably I am going to be today . Inevitably I am going to be highlighting everything that's exciting , everything that's new , all the cool things .

It's like my brain is already highlighting all of those things that happened for me throughout the day . But if I start with Monday , suck , I fucking hate Mondays . I hate where I'm at . Guess what my brain is highlighting throughout my day .

It is highlighting all the bullshit experiences that we come across and like what we pay attention to is what we see more of . So I mean , it's like this constant cycle of I start with my thoughts , then my brain highlights the thoughts that prove me right , and the more I see of those , the more I get of them .

Mondays can be incredible days , incredible days where we start fresh , where we choose to go all in . Mondays can be the day where we decide we're going to stick to our habits . We're going to journal every morning , we're going to walk every day . Mondays can be an incredible day of newness if you choose them to be .

And for me actually for me I have started to get into this space where it's like it's fun to take on a new challenge on a random fucking Thursday in the middle of December and I know I've said this before in the podcast , but I will take on a 75 , 75 day challenge when it doesn't make any logical sense and even though it drives me crazy because it didn't

start on a like day one . Even this podcast , it's driving me nuts because I don't know how many days in a row I've been doing this anymore . I know I started , I believe , on a Wednesday or a Thursday , and I started before I started season two . So , like I can't even go by , I've been doing this for X number of days because it's all season two .

So you know I just this is so me . It is such a me thing to do . Just start before I'm ready and before I'm counting . But if that's not the way you are , start today . Today is Monday . Make Monday great . Decide that every single Monday is going to be fucking fantastic .

Decide that Mondays are an opportunity for amazing things to happen , magic to happen , miracles to happen . Decide that Mondays are the very first day in a seven-day cycle . That opens us up to more miracles . When we program our minds like that , when we program it in intentionally , everything shifts .

If you are sitting here and you are bitching because it is a Monday , I want you to stop drop and roll right fucking now . As soon as you start to complain about Mondays , hate Mondays , dread Mondays , feel the pain and the just crankiness of Mondays .

Switch your mindset immediately and think I wonder what amazing things are going to happen this week and watch what amazing things you notice that happen . Your brain will highlight in a totally different way , in a totally different way . Thank you so much for listening .
