I’m not usually one of those “oh crap it’s Monday” kinds of people. Usually I like Monday. It’s a fresh start to a new week, and for whatever reason I find that rather motivating. 

But today I wasn’t feeling it. Not at all. It felt like Monday was an elephant with its foot on my neck. 

I don’t know why. Could be left over from leg day yesterday. Could be all the running around over the weekend. Could be all the running around I have yet to do this week. 

It doesn’t matter. I don’t need to spend hours pondering the why. Over time I’ve found it more effective to just accept it for what it is and try to push through it. 

So rather than fold up camp and spend the evening on the couch, I tool the dog for a walk. Now I’m doing this blog post, and after this I have a business call and some work to do on another website. And at 10 I’ll be headed to my night job. 

Giving in is easy. It’s natural. Sometimes I do it. Most time’s I don’t. 

I’m not wasting time worrying about Monday. I’m focused on taking action and getting things done. Maybe not as many as if I had loads of energy and motivation, but even a few steps are still steps forward.
