Entrepreneurs Don’t Bitch About Mondays

You hear it all the time — “I don’t like Mondays.” We heard The Boomtown Rats sing it in 1979. It’s a line made famous because it was graffitied on the walls of Shermer High School, the set of “The Breakfast Club.” But the cool thing to do isn’t to bitch about Mondays; it’s making the best of Mondays. The first day of the week is a fresh start, a new day to conquer the life you are trying to build. Instead of complaining about Mondays, find a solution or change to overcome your blues.

Take a Walk

If you’re feeling stressed, one of the best ways to clear your head is to go for a walk. Walking helps you wind down, boosts your brain capabilities, and stimulates creativity. It’s a healthy activity that gives you a break from the everyday stresses of your hustle.

Love What You Do

It sounds so cliché, but don’t do things that you really hate. You are in control of your life, so you get to call the shots. Eliminate any toxic or unhealthy attitudes, environments, and relationships. There are going to be days that feel like the end of the world, but a bad day isn’t a bad life. Sometimes our passion for what we do can make us feel frustrated. Don’t confuse frustration with toxicity. Your hustle should be something you feel passionate about.

Learn Something New

Like we say: Never stop learning. Be curious. If you feel like your hustle needs a bit of a boost, seek ways to step it up. Go the extra mile. Read blogs, watch YouTube videos, listen to podcasts, absorb any and every information you get your hands on. This refuel will kickstart your motivation and make you hungry for the win.

Make the Best of It

Make the best of your situation. If you have long commutes, find good music or podcasts to make the ride more enjoyable. If you have back-to-back meetings, take a few moments in between to step outside and breathe. If you aren’t feeling motivated at the office, redecorate with uplighting decor. This is the hand that you’ve been dealt with, so work with it.

Do Something Creative

While drinking your Pure Grind coffee, write down creative ideas that will restore your spirit. Use Mondays to plan out a successful week. What is one creative thing you can accomplish each day that will make you feel happy? Challenge yourself. Get ahead of the game by mapping out your own rules.
