Monday Mantras

Monday is just a word, after all. Each day you have new opportunities, but something about Mondays just makes people feel worn out. It's the start of the week, and we don't know what may lie ahead. However, your mindset can change the way you feel about the upcoming week. The more we repeat things to ourselves, the more we believe it. Here are some mantras to start your week off right and pull you out of the Monday slump.

This C.S. Lewis quote reminds us that we need to face the week with confidence and courage.


Think about how you wake up on your birthday. Unless some kind of "Sixteen Candles" situation happens to you, chances are you feel all around happy. If you began each day like it was your birthday, you'd radiate confidence and joy.



Maybe you dislike Mondays because of all the work coming up in the week. Or maybe you're anxious about something happening that week. Sometimes you have to take a step back and ask yourself this question, because the day will come eventually and you might as well go into it without fear. It's easier said than done, but reminding yourself of these mantras will help combat the fear.


Mondays give us the chance to start something new. It's amazing what can happen in one week. Sometimes we just have to trust in the magic of beginnings and believe that things will work out.


A daily routine motto. Your week is golden if you strive to live by this.


A reminder to have good thoughts when starting your Monday; you will emanate loveliness.

Sometimes all you need is a simple reminder to start off your day.

This isn't necessarily a Monday mantra, but it is something we should remind ourselves everyday. Always look for the good in others, and let them know. Making someone else feel good often brings a smile to both of you.

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
