Why Mondays aren’t the worst day of the week, at least to me.
Most people love Fridays & Saturdays but typically hate Mondays or Tuesdays.
My reasons why I love the beginning of the week and why reframing your thoughts this way can be beneficial.
I’m curious: What is your favorite day of the week and why?
As usual, leave me a comment below! I love reading and responding to you all.

What I learned about being cool.
When I was younger, I thought people could only be “cool” or “smart”.
But then I wanted to bridge that gap and be both at the same time.
Now, I realize that cool isn’t about not caring or about being smart. It’s about being self-confident in who you are, knowing yourself, and being unapologetically you.
Do you agree! Let me know in the comments! I respond to all of them 🙂
Why perspective goes a long way.
Would you rather be stuck in traffic caused by a fallen tree, or be the one who’s car had the tree fall on?
This talk was spurred obviously by my frustratingly delayed commute to work. Given my commute is only about 8 minutes, but it turned into 25 minutes, which really annoyed me.
Until I got closer to the reason why there was traffic, and then instantly I changed my attitude. I would rather be in traffic than have my car totaled by a fallen tree.
I think the key idea here is this: there’s always something worse that could have happened.
Also that #gratitude goes a long way in how you see your day going. Whether you’re having a good day or a bad day is solely dependent upon your attitude or mindset.

How perspective can change your reality.
The other day I was talking to a friend who works at both as a nurse, and at milk tea shop part-time.
It made me realize that perspective is a powerful thing.
A bit of perspective can dramatically change our experience. Add up those experiences and over time we have a happier life.
What do you think? How has gratitude played a part in your life?
