Loving Monday: Choosing to Choose

loving_mondaySome Mondays we arrive at work to find that we’re behind before we’ve even started.

If we came brimming with hopes of launching right into our next project, this can feel like quite the set-back. The energetic buoyancy replaced with enervating heaviness.

After we’ve picked our respective selves up off the ground, this is the precise moment when we need to coach ourselves about choices.

How we proceed forward is our choice. Will we choose to continue defeated or challenged? Give up or reengage?

“Remember, self?” It’s a form of reminding ourselves. Reminding ourselves of the power we have as choosers of our attitude, perspective, and next steps. We are then better poised to address the feelings of disorientation, disappointment and frustration resulting from the difficult adjustments at hand.

We need not function as the unfortunate victims of our circumstances when challenges arise.

To choose constructively is to affirm and practice our own strength. We demonstrate that we are larger than the surprises that intrude into our day. We choose the interpretation of the facts that works best for us.

It’s Monday. Whether you arrived floating or deflated the next choice is yours. Seize it.

Loving Monday is a weekly column designed to encourage us to step into our weeks with an intention to show up authentically, engage fully, and choose to make it a good week for ourselves. Explore past columns here.
