Monday is just a word, after all. Each day you have new opportunities, but something about Mondays just makes people feel worn out. It's the start of the week, and we don't know what may lie ahead. However, your mindset can change the way you feel about the upcoming week. The more we repeat things to ourselves, the more we believe it. Here are some mantras to start your week off right and pull you out of the Monday slump.

This C.S. Lewis quote reminds us that we need to face the week with confidence and courage.


Think about how you wake up on your birthday. Unless some kind of "Sixteen Candles" situation happens to you, chances are you feel all around happy. If you began each day like it was your birthday, you'd radiate confidence and joy.



Maybe you dislike Mondays because of all the work coming up in the week. Or maybe you're anxious about something happening that week. Sometimes you have to take a step back and ask yourself this question, because the day will come eventually and you might as well go into it without fear. It's easier said than done, but reminding yourself of these mantras will help combat the fear.


Mondays give us the chance to start something new. It's amazing what can happen in one week. Sometimes we just have to trust in the magic of beginnings and believe that things will work out.


A daily routine motto. Your week is golden if you strive to live by this.


A reminder to have good thoughts when starting your Monday; you will emanate loveliness.

Sometimes all you need is a simple reminder to start off your day.

This isn't necessarily a Monday mantra, but it is something we should remind ourselves everyday. Always look for the good in others, and let them know. Making someone else feel good often brings a smile to both of you.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
