Does Monday Motivate you?
I Love Mondays!
Who’s with me? Do you love Mondays? I love Mondays, because it means a clean slate, a do over, and a fresh start. On Sunday nights I like creating long to-do lists that capture everything I hope/plan to get done in the week ahead. It’s fun to challenge myself to see how many things I can finish from the to-do list each day.
For me, every Monday is always exciting. I know it’s partially because I love my work so much but it’s also because Mondays give me an opportunity to let go of the week before and embrace my do over. A new week, and a new list, help me to stop looking back at what I didn’t finish during the previous week. Starting with that fresh list is a great way to reframe my thoughts to reinvigorate what I can get done, capture what I think matters from last week, and where I want to focus my energy in the coming days.
Monday always feels like another chance to set myself up to win, whether that be winning the day, the week, or a new client. On Mondays, I also be sure to start my day out with intentional movement. That movement might be a sweaty workout, a long walk, or picking up around the house. By starting the week off with that type of movement, I feel like I’m already winning by the time I sit down to tackle my list.
What does living your exceptional life look like to you?
Do you write a to-do list? What do you like most about making one?

This week, I encourage you to make a to-do list with all the things you need to get done. Then, challenge yourself to see how much of it you can accomplish! Remember, every win is a win, even if it’s a small one. If you don’t get every single thing on your list done, don’t sweat it. There’s another Monday right around the corner!

Burning Bridges
Burning Bridges
I’ve been thinking a lot lately, “How many bridges can one person burn until there are no bridges left?” To me, good relationships are one of the many keys to living an exceptional life. Over time, that will also include relationships that end due to a change in season, someone moving away, changes in personal values as we grow, children coming into adulthood, a sports season ending, a change in jobs, or a relationship that has simply run its course.
Throughout the course of many good relationships that I’ve experienced, I’ve also had someone in my life that has always needed help, whether it be financially, emotionally, or mentally. When it came to this person there was always a story behind the problem, and it was always someone else’s fault. No matter the season, they had struggles in every area of their life from work and relationships to finances to health.
As I continued to watch this person’s story unfurl, I was left with the question I previously posed, “How many bridges can one person burn until there are no bridges left?” As I pondered this, and took a step back from this person, I had to accept that it’s not that I didn’t care anymore; rather, a person only has so much to give until there’s nothing left.
Sometimes, for those who have experienced others stepping away, it may feel as if they’ve been abandoned or are unloved. It’s very unfortunate that they can’t see their part in creating the struggle and how they could empower themselves to make a positive change. In some ways this reminds me of the boy who cried wolf where, eventually, people stopped listening or lending a helping hand.
While it may seem uncaring and unkind to the person, it’s out of self-preservation and not allowing others’ stories and struggles to take you on an emotional roller coaster every day. Good relationships are guided by boundaries and self-care. Holding onto unhealthy, toxic relationships with someone who is unwilling to care for and stand up for themselves will never serve them, nor will it serve you.
This week, I encourage you to reflect on your current relationships. Do you notice any of these warning signs in a relationship that are affecting your wellbeing and positive health? If so, I inspire you to make one forward step toward caring for yourself first.
