Mondays Are Good Days

On a piece of paper, I wrote my thoughts. Pages stained with tears. I’ll keep messages locked between the hardcovers. I will title this book, “My Struggles.”

This writing was meant just for myself today.
But I decided to share.

Because isn’t life better when we live with deep connections and truth? Rather than living it lonely, my thoughts locked up, no conversation.
I believe in deep connections. So that’s why I share.

Thank you, Monday, for being my day to write. Thank you, Monday for being my day to share. Thank you, for being here.
Happy Monday,
Keep Breathing.

I recently talked about Mondays Are Good Days with a friend and he said, “Wait, so do you get paid to send out those emails?”

I said. “No.”

“So then… why do you write them?”

I started Mondays Are Good Days as a passion project. To share my writing, my art and my life with you and to motivate you to have a GOOD Monday. Typically the day that most dread - I want you to take it by its reins and dictate the day.

I so desperately need this Monday to be exactly what a Monday is: A fresh start, an excuse to renounce the difficult past fews days or weeks, and a way to reorganize and restructure my workflow and my mindset. Which is why instead of writing to you to tell you how to be today or what to embody and work on today, I will use this energy to take care of my Monday.

And dude- I’m sure you need to, too. So I’m encouraging you to do the same.

You are here because you do not want to stay stagnant, you want to be better, and you want to commit to the lifestyle where you see every single day as a new adventure, a new challenge and another opportunity to be better!

You are a part of #MondaysAreGoodDays because you believe in the push. You come here to find support, encouragement and mental nourishment. I am here to make you think, to motivate you and to start your week off with some kick-ass energy. WHETHER OR NOT we are all in quarantine. 

I went camping this weekend for the first time (so fun!) so today’s #MondaysAreGoodDays revolves around a nature theme. Of course, Mother Nature is beautiful and so, my writing for today follows behind her poetic justice. 

1. The Push (A Poem)

2. Rocky Roots (A thought)

3. Avoid Being Stupid (A tip)

Forgiveness is a broad topic and I tried my best to be as concise and deliberate with my words and the people I chose to talk about. 

I simply want you to know two things: 1. Life is brighter when you do not hold anger inside of you. and 2. You have the mental strength to move forward and forgive. You are strong enough to battle passed enemies who have hurt you and who should apologize, but won't.

I hope after reading my writing, you are more at peace.

So now that you have all of the important pieces, go ahead and start building your kingdom, make some changes and improvements.

And on those days we feel insecure, we feel fuzzy in our brains and we feel conflicted, confused, careless. Go inside your confidence castle and change the way you feel.

I'm all about setting yourself up for success, and the little extra things we do in the morning go a long way. 

Here are easy and effective ways to start your morning off great!

Shoes are important. Ultra boosts were revolutionary in the sneaker game! Here are five of my favorite adidas ultra boost.

The world has slowed down and we are going to embrace this day as it is. Still with wishes for this to end, NOW, but also with a positive mindset, in our thinking and in our actions.

It’s all about what is DONE.

So let's do something with the extra time we have. Read up on ways to take control of your time.
