Sundays Suck.

Sundays are hard. For many it is the day before the first day of the week. The work week that is. It’s the night you dread, where you sit there and contemplate what you’re doing with your life, how you got here, why you’re thinking this way, how the previous week went, what you’re doing tomorrow, and if it even makes sense. Sundays suck.

Sundays suck and from experience I know.. But despite this it doesn’t need to be this way. You don’t need to feel this way. For every challenging day brings a new, inspiring tomorrow. And I can say this over and over again, repeating it to myself every hour. And I definitely could potentially convince myself it’s true. But our minds don’t care. It can hear over and over again how much things can get better, but we are still convinced it won’t. And THAT is what sucks. Not the day of the week, not the time of day or the weather outside, but the feeling we get from what our minds are trying to tell us. And you may be sitting there thinking this is going to end as depressing as it started, but it’s not. And you know why?

Because above what our minds are telling us, and above all that is trying to take over these thoughts, things don’t have to suck. It is time to find light or happiness in the littlest things to simply make you feel at ease, no matter what that may be. A butterfly soaring past your face, a catchy tune on the radio making you dance a little, the ocean waves after a big storm, the stop light turning green just as you’re about to approach, the perfect apple you find in a bunch of bruised, the refreshing taste of water after a good night’s sleep, the way your clothes perfectly align with the vision you had for them, a car revving it’s engine down a dirt path, the smell of grass with the slight breeze after a heavy downpour and more. Whatever it may be, let it bring you the happiness you deserve. Whatever it may be, don’t let the negative thoughts overcome the slightest, yet happiest and most empowering pleasures.

Sundays suck, but they don’t have to anymore.
