It’s Monday, baby! Are you kidding me? I love Mondays.
I am so here for a fresh start.
Fuck there even days that I am like “You know what, we are starting over” Then I go take another shower, and start the day all over again. Not gonna lie, sometimes a reset is needed!
Don’t get it twisted, this is the vibe. Messy hair and all baby! Lets be super fucking honest.
But, that’s not the entire narrative. Did I enjoy my weekend? Fuck yes. I got to cook and clean and hang out with my family/friends. I vegged out one night on the couch with a snack and watched way too much fucking TV and it was AMAZING! Not to mention the nice long bath, and manifesting I did. I feel so good after my weekend, and I am entirely so ready if that was my everyday life.
Getting back on the grind is, like…. not the best. Okay, it really isn’t. Long days with my nose to the grind, doing everything, having to stay focused. Sometimes it’s a bitch dude. Not gonna lie. But…
A change in perspective
Something that I have learned through Pagan religions, and witchcraft, as well as Hindu, and Orthodox Jews, is that every single piece of the puzzle is important, and life is made up of cycles.
There is something that our energy and our minds do when we are really intentional about these cycles. When we move into the flow of life rather than resisting it. It’s just -simply put- easier. Life is easier when you lean into what your life is rather than being a grumpy asshole about it.
Life doesn’t get harder on Monday, we are restarting the cycle. We are in spring! We are in a zone where everything comes alive again, and this energy is yummy. Is it hard to refocus? Yes of course it is. Is it challenging to work when you haven’t had to in two days, and you are feeling so relaxed and refreshed? Of course, it is! But it’s spring, let it be a little simpler. This is the cycle of my life, and we are leaning into it.
Something I think a lot of people like to forget is that manifesting is not saying a few affirmations and doing some energy work. I mean, it’s not only that. That is actually a really important part. But true manifesting is looking into your future, and getting really honest. What does that version of me have that this version of me does not? And then become that person. The only thing standing between you and the dream is time, and in this time, we are preparing.
This looks like developing the habits and mindset, that person has to have. What kind of rituals or routines do they have? It’s time to implement them. And I GARTENTEE that version of you is not moping and griping about having to get back on the grind when the time comes.
How though?
Dude me too.
If it sucks, it sucks, and you will not catch me over here pretending. I am feeling what I am feeling. PERIOD.
So that meant for me, I actually had to find a way to change the energy around Monday.
Lets talk about it.
Monday is a BEAUTIFUL time to get up a little earlier than you would the rest of the week. Don’t whine at me! This is just my perspective. Do with it what you will. But it is. Your entitled to your wrong opinion.
I say this because it gives you more time to fully ground into your day. I use this extra time to do some tarot. Maybe do a little energy work and get that picture fresh in my mind about the future and where I will end up. Drink my coffee slowly. Watch a podcast or something to help get me thinking and excited about my day while I fix my hair and put on my makeup. I’m going to be honest with you: I get up a solid ninety minutes earlier on Mondays.
I am not going to say that’s always easy, but I do it, and I am intentional with that time. I get cozy, I go slow, I warm into the flow, and let myself have whatever I need to get through the week in the right energy.
This is going to look so different for everyone. Maybe you need one last hit before turning off your brain, and you spend that time scrolling TikTok. I don’t know your life. But whatever you do, and whatever the goal is right now, whatever you’re looking forward to, do it with love and care and find a way to make Monday, exactly what it needs to be.
I woke up ninety minutes early and still was barely ready for work on time. But I did it, and I am in the right energy. It was worth every single second.
