Monday Reset – Don’t Carry Last Week’s Stress Into This Week

Mondays have a reputation—stressful, overwhelming, and loaded with the baggage of last week’s chaos. But here’s a reframe: Monday isn’t the villain. It’s an opportunity. A reset button waiting to be pressed. If last week was tough, exhausting, or just not it, you don’t have to carry that energy into this one. Instead, step into a Monday mindset shift that lets you reclaim control over your productivity, peace, and progress.

How to Reset & Take Charge of Your Week
💡 1. Leave Last Week Where It Belongs

Reflect, but don’t dwell. If something didn’t go well, ask yourself:

What did I learn?

What can I do differently?

What’s within my control?

Then, release it. Holding onto stress won’t change the past—it only slows you down.

💡 2. Set a Clear Intention

Start with a focus. What’s the one thing you want to accomplish this week? Whether it’s crushing a project, booking a networking call, or just protecting your peace—set your intention and move accordingly.

💡 3. Get Your Non-Negotiables in Order

Success is built on habits. Ask yourself:

What will I prioritize this week?

What boundaries do I need to enforce?

How will I make time for rest and recovery?

💡 4. Show Up with Confidence

A new week is a blank slate. Your energy sets the tone, so walk into it with confidence, clarity, and a mindset that this week will work for you—not against you.

Final Thought: Own Your Week

You control how you show up. You control what you give your energy to. So why not give it to something that moves you forward?
