It’s Monday Again… Get Your Mind Right

“It’s not about how you feel, it’s about what you do.” — Coach Anthony

Mondays get a bad rap.

They show up uninvited, often dragging anxiety, stress, and a strong desire to hit snooze. But what if Mondays didn’t have to feel like a mountain you dread climbing? What if—just maybe—they became your launchpad for a winning week?

Coach Anthony says: “Don’t let Mondays defeat you.” In his empowering session, he breaks down 9 practical ways to flip your Monday mindset and take off like a plane—smooth, steady, and focused.

Whether you’re a student-athlete, a coach, a public servant, or just someone navigating a hybrid workweek, these tips are for you.

9 Ways to Make Over Your Monday

1. Keep the Same Sleep Schedule on Weekends

Consistency is key. Staying up late on Saturday and trying to recalibrate by Monday can wreck your energy. Try using Sunday to gently reset—your future self will thank you.

2. Disconnect on the Weekend

Put down the phone. Step away from the inbox. If it’s not urgent, it can wait. Giving your mind a real break helps you return on Monday recharged.

3. Create a Monday Morning Ritual

Start your Monday with intention. Whether it’s journaling, your favorite coffee, or a short meditation—rituals give you a reason to look forward to the day.

4. Prep for Monday on Friday

Take 10–15 minutes before clocking out Friday to map out your Monday. You’ll reduce stress and actually enjoy your weekend knowing Monday is already handled.

5. Flip Your Internal Script

Stop saying “I hate Mondays.” Start saying “I own Mondays.” Change your internal language and watch your mindset shift.

6. Connect with Your Favorite People

Text a friend. Call a co-worker. Laugh with someone you vibe with. Human connection is an instant mood booster—and Mondays need all the boosting they can get.

7. Grab a Special Lunch

Tuna can wait. Treat yourself to something you actually enjoy for lunch. A great meal can turn your whole day around.

8. Make Fun Plans After Work

Why wait until Friday to live your life? Plan something light and fun for Monday evening to give yourself something to look forward to.

9. Do Something Nice for Someone

Kindness is contagious. Bring someone coffee. Send a thank-you message. Helping others boosts your serotonin and theirs—it’s a double win.

Your Action Steps

We do not just want you to feel better, we want you to act better.

1. Write down 3 reasons you “hate” Mondays.

2. Circle 2 that are fully within your control.

3. Create a small plan to address them.

4. Put that plan into action next Monday.

Small shifts lead to big results.

Final Takeaway: It’s a Mindset Game

Monday isn’t the enemy—it’s your starting line.
Whether you’re running a business, leading a team, or building a college athletic future, how you start matters.

You don’t need to “love” Mondays.
You just need to master them.

So grab your coffee, lock in your focus, and remember:

“It’s not about how you feel, it’s about what you do.”
