The Mindful Monday

I used to really struggle with Mondays.  As an entrepreneur, always so much to do, so little time.  I would look at my desk and become immediately overwhelmed and paralyzed:  I don’t even  know where to start.  Why didn’t I get some work done over the weekend?  And then the critical voice chimed in:  What’s wrong with you?  Who do you think you are?   Why is this taking so long?  I can remember more than a few Mondays spent in the fetal position waiting for Tuesday to come.

Not anymore, though. Now I actually look forward to Mondays.  A new week, a new beginning, a new opportunity.  My practice of 30 Days to Grace has allowed me to make this shift.  With this daily 30 minute practice, I am more grounded, more focused, and most importantly more mindful, every day of the week, including Mondays.

Because I have set an intention for 30 days that I am really excited about it, everything I choose to do is with purpose  towards achieving it.  My intention for his month is “I live in my highest joy”.  Besides all of the physical changes and spiritual connection I am experiencing with this daily practice, I am also more relaxed, more centered, and much more effective.  This all contributes to my highest joy, because let’s face it, a Monday is a terrible thing to waste, isn’t it?
