Flip the Script on the Monday Blues

Let’s talk about it—the dreaded M-word. No, not mocha (we love that), but Monday. Cue the groans and eye rolls. But what if we stopped treating Monday like a villain and started seeing it as a blank slate? A chance to own the week before it owns us?

Say Goodbye to the Monday Blues 😩

Studies show that over 80% of people feel increased anxiety and lower mood on Sunday evenings, dreading the workweek. That dread can follow you all week, dragging your energy, focus, and motivation down.

Flip the Script 🎬

Instead of letting your brain spiral Monday morning, get ahead of it:

• "I am confident."

• "I will slay."

• "I’m grateful for a job to wake up to."

• "I am unstoppable."

Cheesy? Maybe. Effective? Absolutely. Positive self-talk can boost mood, reduce stress, and increase productivity. One study even found a 30% rise in motivation among those who practiced it.

Set the Tone Early 🛏️

Want to hit the ground running? Start Sunday night with:

• "I will have a productive Monday."

• "I’ll get my stuff done."

• "This will be a good week."

What you feed your mind grows. Plant the right thoughts.

Make Monday Your Launchpad

Monday doesn’t have to be a drag. With the right mindset, it can fuel your entire week. Start with intention, energy, and a few good mantras.

Ask yourself: How can I chase the Monday blues away and get my shine on? 💫
