Mondays Suck!
It is Monday, there are so many songs written about how horrible Mondays are; Manic Monday, Blue Monday, I don’t like Mondays, Monday, Monday and the list goes on and on. Did you ever stop to think if you actually hate Mondays or if you have been so used to hearing it that you adopted it?
It seems the outside world is always throwing everything but the kitchen sinks at us on a daily basis. It’s very easy to get lost in the chaos, lose focus, and feel overwhelmed, not to mention downright depressed!
When COVID started in 2020 it hit me hard, I was worried and very attentive to all the news I could get. I signed up for Telegram chats and watched hundreds of videos to “get the latest info” and I felt informed.
I noticed after a while how I was no longer connected to my inner power, how I had inadvertently surrendered my power to the narratives. It shocked me because I saw how my work, relationships, and energy suffered and still kept on the path at first.
Deciding for yourself how you see the world is possible, I know it is, and I also know the only real change a human can have is the change in their personal world.
That is where I decided it was enough: no more Telegram, videos, social media or other sources of “important info” that only served to distract, disconnect and harm me in many ways.
Very quickly I felt relieved, was very optimistic, and even started to travel again at the height of Covid in 2020 and 2021, I took it upon myself to live my life as I saw fit, not allowing the outside world to dictate my mood, feelings or attitude.
It served me well, business is better, relationships are better both professionally and privately and the radiant value I create in my world is having a positive effect on all I come in contact with.
We can dictate our own reality, we can simply realize that all these fears are built upon projections of our mind, forecasting what “could” happen or “might” happen. In the end, these are just thoughts, not reality because they have not even happened yet!
And what about Monday? Do you now see the positive in Mondays? Not yet? Read on then!
It is up to you: be a slave to the outside or own your presence and all you do in your life enterprise, it is truly a simple decision, flip that switch, decide for you.
Is it easy? Well, the decision is easy, following through, letting go of all those thoughts, realizing they aren’t real, and living in an elevated state takes practice, a lot of practice. But so does anything worthwhile achieving.
Nothing in my opinion pays off more than living this way. Imagine never worrying about money, societal changes, relationships or who said what…or Mondays! How would that feel? What would it give you back as far as time goes, and how would you use that new-found time?
In our book Unleash your Humble Alpha, we discuss Focus in context with creating your reality:
Focus creates your reality. Knowing what not to focus on is just as important as knowing what to focus on. When you can differentiate between what to focus on and what not to, you can get into a flow state. Focus and productivity are two different things. For example, focus enables you to get two hours of work done in 40 minutes.
Productivity would be allocating those 40 minutes to a time during the day when you’re most on fire.
Flow allows us to tap into periphery opportunities while keeping the big picture in check.
When we’re in the flow, we don’t have tunnel vision or put blinders on. It allows us to see almost everything, and we let go of the small details that keep us stuck. We’re moving and grooving, and we know what we need will come to us, whether it’s an epiphany, the right person, or a proper connection. We can stay in flow with what we’re doing because we know that when we need the next thing to keep moving forward, it’ll raise its hand. We’ll see it flagging us down because our eyes are open while we’re focused.
The more you practice getting into flow and focusing, the more you’ll get comfortable knowing that the next step will present itself at the right time. Intuition is a crucial piece for directing your focus and getting into flow, which we’ll talk more about later. We also have apps, a wearable device, and strategies that help people get into the flow state almost instantly.
There you have it, the recipe for a better life, now all you have to do is flip the switch and start living in a way that will enrich your life and all those in your life enterprise!
This is just one small example of how we take successful business owners from grinding every day in their business to a visionary leader who is on the cutting edge of their business. They continue by building an ecosystem that generates more revenue while the leader has delegated, empowered, joined forces with others, and removed themselves from the day-to-day so they can focus on their passion projects and or scaling their business.
