How Do You Start Your Week?
Another Monday is upon us and I have to laugh at the negativity that comes along with it.
It begins almost as soon as you leave the house. On your commute to work.
Perhaps you have noticed it too?
As you make your way to work take a look around.
Everyone has a vacant stare on their face.
Tired baggy eyes. Even though most have had two days of relaxing and taking it easy.
Road rage is at its highest. Patience for others is almost non-existent.
And then once you’ve made it through that hostility it’s not uncommon to be greeted with the gloomy look of your fellow co-workers.
With their less than motivating small talk.
“How was your weekend?”
“It wasn’t long enough. I wish we started back to work on a Tuesday. I hate Mondays.” etc. etc.
It is so easy to fall into the same negative mentality when you’re surrounded by it.
If you allow yourself that is.
I choose not to.
And instead, I see Monday as a fresh start. A time to get after it again.
