Loving Tuesday: Where Did Monday Go?!

loving_mondayWhere did Monday go?

It was here a minute ago.

Or so I thought. Next thing I know my calendar is telling me it’s Tuesday. What happened?

Do you ever have weeks like that? You have the best of intentions. The plans are in place. You are going to hit the ground running. You are going in focused, intent, and prepared.

And then reality hits.

A scheduled delivery is missing. An important deadline gets moved up. An important client wants an impromptu meeting asap. Two team members call in sick.

By the time you look up, the day is over and your beautiful plans are in shatters.

It would not be uncommon to be thrown for a loop. Our focus turned to confusion. Our intent undermined by discouragement. Our preparations tossed into the air like a deck of playing cards.

Or we can adjust.

Key, though, is not letting the unexpected sabotage us completely.

I recommend beginning by giving yourself permission to go outside and scream your heart out or pound your fist into the landscaping. Pretending you’re not frustrated when you clearly are is patently unproductive.

Express your frustration (safely, please). Get it out. But then… shake it off.

While probably not possible to merely start over as if it were Monday when it is now Tuesday, we can adjust.

Determine to adjust.

Take a fresh look at your focus, your intent and your plans. How can they benefit from what happened yesterday?

It’s Tuesday now. Gotta love it. Time to go for it.

What’s your alternative?
