No Problem Monday

Happy Monday people! We’ve been running around like crazy for a little over a week as we get settled in our new home. It’s been so fun and we are loving every bit of exploring our new surroundings. Today’s the first day of getting back to real business (although blogging NEVER takes a break) so I thought I would share a few of my favorite ways to kick off the week. These things help me to stay super focused and productive throughout the week. Read on for more!

Motivation Monday

I have always been a firm believer in the idea of starting the week of strong. Mondays are one of my favorite days of the week because they are an opportunitty for a fresh start and a new beginning. Therefore I try to always get in a good workout on Monday because it sets the tone for the week and helps me stay focused on my fitness goals for the rest of the week. I also try to get the most dreadful things off of my to-do list on Mondays, that way they don’t haunt me all week. Mondays don’t have to be evil, in fact I find them to be refreshing and exciting – if you allow them to be! 😉

Goal Setting Go-Getter

Sometimes small goal setting is the way to go. Looking towards the future and goal setting for big accomplishments is still a great thing to practice but sometimes it can make you feel overwhelmed and result in a total deflation of your motivation. That’s why small goal setting is a great thing to implement into your week. This way you will feel accomplished and inspired to keep chasing those bigger goals, because you’re already crushing your smaller goals!

I’m a super freak about lists and make them every day. From small things like cleaning and running errands to bigger things like meetings and content planning, these lists keep me on track and feeling good about what I’m getting done!

So what do you guys think? Is Monday as bad as we’ve played it out to be forever? I think not. Let me know if you use any of these tips to get through your Monday! And obviously a killer look like this one from River Island will make any day of the week better! 😉
