Maybe you experienced a magnificent start-of-the-week revelation today. Maybe your biggest accomplishment was getting out of bed. Wherever you are in life, it is right where you are suppose to be. Embrace it and don’t forget to take care of yourself.
You are allowed bad days. You are justified in your struggles. I want you to know that you are loved, seen, heard, and understood. Being an adult is literally jumping from feeling like you are on top of the world to feeling like you cannot even take another step. Just take a breath! You are not alone. You are alive and you are doing the damn thing and for that, I AM SO PROUD OF YOU.
Eat ice cream unapologetically before noon and bumble your way through the rest of the day. Just do it while dancing and smiling so hard that your eyes close. Make your mindset this year to get weird and take some dance breaks. Dance it out- find your groove and always stick with the humans who pull the magic out of you.
WORK HARD. DREAM HARDER.
There are 52 Mondays this year and how you spend them is up to you. Start off the week knowing how powerful you are. Happy Monday- PASS IT ON!//
I kicked off the first Monday of 2015 by handing out fresh flowers and positive vibes to those around me. Attitudes are contagious, and it was incredible to see how quickly I was able to brighten someone else’s ordinary day with only the smallest of gestures. As each week passed by, I turned it into my personal mission to see how many people I could get to smile back at me every Monday morning.
The project quickly evolved from a personal mission into an entirely new lifestyle. I now spend days preparing with “Happy Monday” stickers, countless handwritten notes and 100-200 little pick-me-up gifts to give out to strangers each and every week. My efforts to get people to be as stoked about Monday as they are about Friday have proven difficult on some days, but the positive feedback has been so encouraging.
I may not be able to change the world, yet, but inspiring this kind of human connection with strangers the last ten years is the beginning and end of everything. My heart is bursting at the seams and I cannot wait to embark on the adventure that is year eleven of #thehappymondayproject
Monday is coming…are you ready?
