How ya feeling…1-10?

It’s okay if you’re closer to 1 than you want to admit…especially if you’re suffering from a Summer Weekend Fun Hangover!

When you feel slow, it’s easy to remain in the slow lane. But you gotta fight that. Remember, you dictate the pace…you establish your sense of urgency.

Easing into a week is not really a thing. You can’t afford to waste a drop of time in this competitive arena. Mondays are 20% of your workweek…more if you’re taking a Summer Friday this week!

Do

Don’t fall back on the Summer Monday Syndrome and allow yourself to coast.

The title of this section is "DO"…so do something really good, today. Make something happen. Anything!

And after you do something that builds momentum, write about it in your WINS Journal tonight to help you celebrate your "DOing."

Don’t mistake quantity for quality. Focus on a significant DO today. Get your butt into the fast lane.

Re-start your engine and get back on the horse. (Of course, if you haven’t been off the horse, then change nothing.)

You’ll make many choices and decisions this week, but the most important is when you first open your eyes each morning.

Will you decide to have a productive, fulfilling day? …or will you kinda stumble around a bit? Will you decide to be positive? Or slap a negative label on everything?

Not feeling jacked about your job early on Monday doesn’t mean you’ve lost your mojo; it just means it’s Monday morning. Maybe all you need is a second cup of joe…or a few twists-n-turns on the yoga mat?

Either way, the neat thing about attitude is that the choice to have a good one is entirely yours. Anyone can have a great attitude on Friday afternoon, but what about Monday morning?

Contrary to widespread beliefs, you can control your attitude…much of that control starts by listing all the things that make you happy and proud.

Call ’em WINS or anything else, but at least try to raise your attitude today by working inside your WINS Journal.

Oomph

Regardless of the side of the bed you woke up on this morning, you may get a kick to your day and week with Kobe.

No, not steak. Kobe Bryant…the brilliant and immortalized basketball player.

Listen here to one of Kobe’s best speeches.

Even if you’re not a basketball fan, you’ll appreciate his intensity and great attitude. That guy was a supreme DOer!

Quote of the day

"Why is Monday so far away from Friday and Friday so bloody close to Monday?" Anonymous
