Good day, and welcome to the beginning of a new week😊! Our views of Monday set the tone for the entire week, so we must try not to oppose Monday because it will never change and will return. Our views of Monday are simply a matter of perspective, and we should try to embrace it. Each day, including Monday, is just another day in our journey in life. Even though it was short, we had an opportunity to enjoy a weekend, and hopefully, you could take advantage of each day! My post on Mondays used to be “Motivational Monday”, and can be viewed similarly, but there is a slight change. I want to help everyone, myself included, make positive affirmations. Everyone can start this on Monday to set the tone for your week, or you can try doing this daily and hope it makes a positive change in life. There are many fabulous things about this and explain what they are and a few ways to get started.

First, positive affirmations are phrases we can repeat to ourselves, describing how we want to be. They can help us through challenging situations and negative thinking. Positive affirmations can help us to improve our mental health and our overall well-being and overcome depression, anxiety, and any other challenges we face. These only need to be straightforward statements we utilize to accomplish goals, overcome negative thoughts, and improve self-confidence. Positive affirmations can also reduce stress and encourage motivation. We only need to discover a routine that works best for our lives. We can start this slowly and gradually, such as at the beginning of the week. You can add additional affirmations daily or more days. If you feel comfortable and ready, you can jump right in and do this daily.

Today, I am going to think of three positive affirmations. Feel free to share yours if you feel comfortable, but I will not pressure you to participate. I decided to do this because it has been a challenging year, and I have allowed myself to get discouraged, which is not how I typically think. Even though I know things will work out, the job search has been very difficult and discouraging. My list is not in any specific order, but all three are what I will focus on this week. 1. I am optimistic because today is a new day. 2. I have encountered challenges, but overcoming them has made me more resilient. 3. I am turning DOWN the volume of negativity and turning UP the volume of positivity. If you decide to participate, you can repeat your affirmations to yourself several times a day, write them on a sticky note, and place them where you will see them, or you can write your affirmations several times so they will stick in your mind!

Thank you for visiting my site today. I hope you enjoyed my new type of post for Monday and that this helps you begin your week with the most positivity and motivation. I look forward to reading your comments or positive affirmations. I will be responding to all comments as quickly as possible. Please let me know if this kind of post using positive affirmations brings any additional positivity to your day and if you want me to continue doing this with you. Whether I continue doing this on my blog or not, I will continue to journal about positive affirmations. I hope you enjoyed your weekend and are ready to tackle this week with determination and dedication. Please never forget I am always sending y’all LOTS of love❤️, comfort, support, and MANY positive vibes🌈!
