How Do You Start Your Work Week?

It's another Monday! For a lot of people, Monday might as well be a curse word! People tend to curse that they have to wake up and go to a job they hate or would rather be home working on their online business.

Obviously we can all relate. But here's the thing, when you start off your week in a negative mindset it closes the doors for opportunity or favor in the areas that you do love and want. So you need to shift that mindset right off the bat!

Don't focus on the fact that you hate Mondays or going to work. Focus on the things you do love or appreciate:

  • You woke up this morning. (Lots of people didn't!)
  • You do have a job. (That means you're able to pay your bills!)
  • You have family and friends that love you.
  • You have a roof over your head.
  • You're a member of WA and learning how to create the life you deserve!

So ultimately it's all about perspective. Mondays don't suck. Your perception and attitude might. Sorry but that's real talk. You can choose to accept it and get more of what you've always received. Or you can decide to start looking at the start of the week differently and see if you get different results. Either way it's your choice!

Here's a little quote that pretty much gives you advice on how to handle Mondays or anything else in your life that you don't like:

Hope you guys liked the post! I'd love to hear your thoughts about it below or how you handle the start of your work week. Are there any actions you take to get you going on the right path? Feel free to chime in below and share this post.

Thanks for reading.

Thank you for being selfless and sharing this much needed gem of information. This will help me kickstart (whats left of) my day.

You're so welcome Aujj! I know sometimes I need these pushes or messages so I figure why not share it with my fellow buddies here at WA. Glad you're receptive to it. Thanks for chiming in!

Nice post Eddy! Mindset is truly a powerful thing. Unfortunately, most people are programmed to perceive things in a negative way, which cripples forward progress. There is no doubt, anyone can do anything they want in life with the right mindset.

Amen Josh! The problem is most people don't realize they're in that program. I liken it to the movie the Matrix. So many people are in the negative Matrix but don't realize they are. But once you do, you can become like Neo and have unlimited power and success! Thanks for chiming in.

Love it ! This goes hand in hand with my blogs from last week. We were on the same brainwave. Good stuff and I agree and believe whole heartedly in this!

Thanks! Hey share that blog link here so I can check it out! It's always good to connect with like minded folks!

Don't laugh, but how do I send the blog link?

I'm not mean. lol Go to your blog post here on wa or where ever you wrote the blog post. Then at the top of the screen you'll see the website address. Just copy and paste that address in the comment here on my post if you want or private message it to me. Hope this helps.

Wise words! thanks Eddy I needed that today

You're welcome Chris! Glad it helped today and hopefully all week long! =)

My Monday started with my husband in the hospital and my septic system backing up into the house. I give the care of my husband to God, no worries. I called on my church to help, sometimes we forget that if we will just ask, we will get help. Still waiting on the plumber!!!! I know that I can't control all things and it is now 12:30pm and I am just getting on my WA site after mopping up the mess. I will survive today, I might not write anything today but there is always tomorrow.

If anyone has a reason to be grumpy this morning, you would. But I like what you've said. You've left the care of your husband to God. Good idea I hear he's pretty good at caring for people. ;) Septic system backing up is never a good thing but you're taking the right attitude. And how blessed are you to be in a church where you're really a community and not just a building to worship in!

The day may have not started right but your attitude did! Applaud you!

WA and my church are 2 families that I belong to. My biological family is highly dysfunctional. My attraction to WA is the community feeling.

Well I'm happy to be part of your WA family. And quite frankly all of our families are "dysfunctional". Some just a little more than others. But it's good to have some other groups of people to reach out to.

You are not a Millionaire!!! Well knock me over with a feather. Good for you for keeping those boots on so you can pull yourself up when you need to.

Excellent post Eddy. I generally take 10-15 minutes on Sunday to outline my top priorities for the week. That way I can stay focused when the alarm clock rings Monday morning.

But, I find being a Netpreneuer far more joyful than the dreaded feeling I used to fight when I worked for an employer in a job that I hated. Knowing that you get to follow your passion makes Monday mornings an exciting adventure.>:o)

Agreed Rebecca! Mondays and other days of the week don't really have the same meaning when you're running the show and doing what you love. But even if you're not, you control how you react to that day. Unfortunately not everyone is blessed to be in your position YET! However I think many will if they start applying what the quote suggested above.

Thanks for sharing!

How long did it take you to establish yourself enough to break free from "payroll prison"

Aujj it took me 7 years. But here's why the first couple of years I tried to learn everything on my own. I refused to invest money in ebooks, training or self help material. I was able to learn a lot but it took me longer than it needed to. I literally started when the internet was pretty much jumping off the ground. If I had invested in material from people already doing what I wanted, I probably would've been able to escape the man sooner. And I would've probably been a multi-millionaire.

But alas I didn't. Once I did start investing in training like WA, working on my mindset by reading books like The Secret, etc, then everything changed. And I was able to leave my corporate position within a year or two of really applying what I learned. I'm temporarily back in the work force. Had some minor set backs and also just needed to be out my house! lol

But I'm looking forward to getting back to that lifestyle. But I'll be trying a different niche which I'm living proof works which is self development. It will give me a lot more opportunity to do more of the content you read today. So I'm looking forward to that chapter in my life. And I know it will be successful because of what I've learned from WA and that I'm following a niche I have a passion for and intimate knowledge of.

Aren't you sorry you asked me that question? lol

AMEN to that Eddy. Attitude is everything. Zig Ziglar taught us, "Attitude, not Aptitude controls your Altitude." Somehow that stuck with me. Pat yourself on the back today for a good thing you accomplished, make changes to whatever you don't like and move on.

Agreed Rebecca! I need to dig more into Zig Ziglar's stuff. He's one of the few self development people I haven't really read enough of which is shocking. So thanks for the reminder! =)

I REALLY needed this today, thanks so much :)

You're welcome Matt! I knew someone did and I'm happy it had a positive affect on you. Feel free to share it with anyone else you think may need. You never who may be reading your facebook wall or other social media site that needed this too. ;)

Great post Eddy. I love the positive attitude! And on a Monday too. :-)

And yes, I also believe our actions are determined by our mindset, so if we get out of bed each day inspired to learn, share, grow, love, experience, and reach out to help others in need, then all of these positive thoughts will also result in positive actions that we will perform and express to others each day.

I know it's difficult for some to switch their mindset this way, but the alternative of a negative attitude just doesn't seem that appealing to me. It's much easier and more inspiring to take a positive approach, and see the opportunity in everything. It's life, and we're here to learn, share and grow. Take advantage of that gift!

Thanks again for sharing -
Jeff

Thanks Jeff! I totally agree with your comment. Too often people have been negative so long, they don't even realize that they're in a negative state. It's just become a habit or way of living. Sometimes we all need a jolt to snap out of it. So hopefully this does this for certain people.

like it Eddy, totally agree

Thanks Mikey!

Your are right attitude is everything. It still all has to do with the glass Right??

Love the quote.
Thanks and God bless
Kymee

Exactly Kymee! Thanks for chiming in!
