Motivating Monday

I always use to hate Mondays... Monday, Monday, Monday! It meant the weekend is over, Sunday is gone, and the work week officially starts! Ugh. It meant less time with Todd, four more loads of laundry and one messy house to clean-again. Monday was never considered a "fun day" at the Nielson's residence. That is... Until today!


I realized I was only looking at all the negative things Monday brings. In reality, everyday has negative aspects. So I decided to change my perspective. After all, as Todd would say... "Perspective is our reality!"   I have come to realize Monday is actually a great day in our house!

• Monday allows me to enjoy my favorite classes at the gym- Cycling and Body Pump- right in a row. So I get my hour of cardio in, as well as my hour of weights, all while enjoying every minute of it!

• Monday means I have a whole week to finish whatever I start.
• Monday means fresh laundry folded and put away.
• Monday means a clean house to relax and enjoy.
• Monday means The Bachelorette on TV. Yes, Todd is not afraid to admit it. He loves it just as much as I do! Our commentating during each episode is hysterical! Well we think it is.

• Specifically tonight... Monday brings the NBA Playoffs Laker's vs. Thunder. (Cross your fingers and toes the Laker's lose!)

• Monday means PF Chang's Lettuce Wraps for dinner tonight. (A new recipe I found on Pinterest. I will let you know how it is.)

Ah, Mondays! What do your Mondays bring??
If you have a case of the Mondays... I challenge you to look at the positive things Monday brings. Loose last weeks frustrations and start fresh!
Happy Motivating Monday Everyone!
