Start With Ease
Ah, the gravitational pull of Mondays …
In his novel, The Humans, author Matt Haig suggests Mondays are like “a collapsed star in the week’s solar system, with an excessive gravitational pull.”
One minute we are relaxing through a Sunday, and in the next we find ourselves hurtling through the start of the working week.
Of course, if Monday was a collapsed star we might find that resistance is futile.
Instead, I wonder how we might ease into the start of the week with intention and equanimity.
Allowing time for thought and planning;
staying true to our rhythms and routines; and
looking forward to the day and week with enthusiasm and joy,
are just a few ways we might resist the gravitational pull of a Monday in full force.
What say you? I’m curious, how do you ease into your week?
