 I hate Mondays. Mondays suck. I have the case of Mondays. Now all of us have said something along that lines because it's true, Mondays can be difficult. But in this video, guys, we're gonna talk about how to make Monday your favorite day of the week. All right, guys, what is going on? Luck's giving them the journey, helping you succeed on your medical journey with less stress. Today is another episode in the motivational Monday series. I'm all about helping you enjoy your Mondays as well as your Fridays. But with that, let's talk about Mondays. We hate Mondays. Mondays suck. And then we also hate Tuesdays because it's just a glorified Monday. Let's be honest. And Wednesday, hump day, you know, Wednesday also sucks. Thursday, it's kind of forgettable, a little closer to Friday than Friday. That's the glory day. Everybody looks forward to Friday. No one looks forward to Mondays. So it's kind of weird though, guys. Almost half of a week, if not more, does not look forward to. That's almost like reading a book and saying the first half of this book, useless. Don't care for it. It's not until the end that I'm excited. Or I'm gonna watch this movie but I'm not gonna pay attention for the first hour because let's be real, the first hour is not that fun anyways. Or even more scary. It's like saying your day is not useful or impactful or important until you get halfway through. No one thinks like that, right? Why do we do it in our weekly basis? And so obviously we need to understand that Mondays should be just as important as Fridays inside a deal situation but let's understand how we can get there. So one of the things, guys, that I use and do to make Mondays my favorite day of the week and I promise you it actually is, I use Mondays as like a marker. To remind myself, I'm gonna dominate this week. I may not have dominated last week or it may not have gone the way I wanted to but Mondays are a good reminder. Fresh new start, let's go. Time to work, whatever it may be. And you can do that every aspect of your life. You might, I'm gonna be a better student. I'm gonna be better at productivity. I'm gonna be better at X, Y and Z. Fill in the blank. But I use Mondays as a reminder. This is the week. Today is the day. So another thing you can do is to have a baby goal at the end of each week towards an ultimate goal. But I'll give you an example. For this YouTube channel, for instance, my crazy, my crazy audacious goal is to have 25,000 subscribers by the end of the year. Now I didn't misspeak. It wasn't the typo, 25,000. And you probably looked over to see where am I at right now. Probably nowhere close to it when you're watching this video but that's okay. That's a crazy ultimate goal. The small goal is to get maybe an extra 50, extra 100, extra couple of hundred subscribers on a weekly basis. So then I use Mondays to ask myself, okay, this is the week. I need to just get a hundred more subscribers and then move towards my ultimate goal. I use Mondays as a reminder to, first, remind myself of my big goal and ask myself what small step am I gonna do to get there. So try that out if you're struggling getting through your Mondays but also have big audacious goals like we all do. Use Mondays as a reminder, saying today is gonna be the day and this is the one small goal I'm gonna get to make sure that big goal is successful. Now I'll give you three more things that I use to make Mondays my day of the week. And one of them is to just be grateful for the life that I have and the opportunity to continue to build the life that I want. Now Mondays is often seen as a start of the week but often in a negative context. But be grateful, you got another week. You can get towards and closer to your goal. You have another chance. If last week, last month didn't go well, if Sunday was crappy, Monday can make another stride in the right direction. So be grateful, look at it as an opportunity and not a hindrance. Another thing you can do is to break your big week into a mini week. So for example, I will break my seven day weeks into like three or four days span and have like little missions. So for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, I'll assign myself one goal. So for the YouTube channel or for the mdjourney.com, it may just simply be get all your videos recorded by the first half of the week and even if I don't, that's okay. It's a mission. I still have the rest of the week to accomplish it but if I get it done those first three days, oh, I feel so good. And that's like any of you guys who set out these big goals to do list and once you get them done early, you feel good about yourself. So that's how you can own your Mondays. Create mini goals and mini missions halfway through and staying on Wednesday to accomplish it. Because if you didn't accomplish it on Wednesday, Wednesday can be your day of the week where you can say, all right, let's do it until next Saturday or Sunday and then repeat. So have these little mini missions to kind of accomplish your goals and your progress. And finally guys, it's just a reminder. You gotta avoid bad mapping and negative talking. You know, if you look at Mondays like everybody else does, like a crummy day, you're from your weekend vacation, you gotta go back to work, back to school. Your Mondays are gonna suck. It's gonna be hard waking up. It's gonna be hard going to whatever obligations you have. And you're always gonna look forward to Fridays because you look at your free time as your most exciting time. But if you look at your school as everything you do on a Monday as something to look forward to as something to build forward to, then I promise you it's gonna be easier to wake up, not completely easy, but it's gonna be easier. And maybe you can make it your favorite day in a week. So remember guys, Mondays is your reminder, your day to own it on the week to own the day. But that's gonna be it for this video guys.
