Consider Monday Resolutions Instead!
We are four weeks into 2026, and you might have made some bold resolutions for the year. How are those plans going? Are you meeting your well-intended commitments? If your resolutions had any real impact, chances are you’re struggling to meet those goals. Consider another option.
Do “New Week” Resolutions!
Rather than giving up, make one more resolution. Resolve to renew your resolutions every week. That is one reason I LOVE Monday. It is the perfect day for a fresh start. It is a weekly do-over; a new chapter every 7 days.
On Monday, celebrate the successes of the previous week and look forward to correcting the mistakes. Realize that you will get a fresh start every 7 days and that you don’t need to wait until January to set a new direction. Even that major work blunder or significant life mistake can at least be addressed and managed today. You don’t have to wait till next year. Life continues to happen, and you can move forward RIGHT NOW!
I LOVE Monday, and it’s not just some psychobabble to make me feel good. Loving Monday means that I realize there is always hope. There is always a second chance… if I choose to take it and make it. Loving Monday means that I can make a difference in what happens today and this week. It is my choice.
How about it? Are you going to run today or let the day run you? Choose to love Monday. Make weekly, not yearly, resolutions. You may find that 2026 is actually your best year ever. And it will be the best year, one week at a time!
