The majority of people work the typical 40 hour 9-5, Monday to Friday. So when I ask, what day do you consider the first day of the week, Monday, would be the natural response. Calendars can be confusing, they fluctuate from publisher to publisher and some even leave space for you to fill in your 'day 1' yourself. Now, most people would agree that our mindset can dictate a lot in life: our choices, our attitudes and even our perceptions. So we need to be extra cautious in how we set our minds and a Sunday start to the week can make a huge difference in how the rest of your week goes.
Years ago businesses remained closed, markets locked up and hell, even the Lord rested on this day. Nowadays, times have changed some, and Sundays can be just as productive as the rest of the week. My logic is to use your Sunday in a way that serves you best. If it suits you to wake up, eat some bacon and eggs and laze on the couch, sloth away my friend. If it's time to stock up your cupboards, head to the local grocery store. My mom used to have her weekly Sunday beauty regimen of a self-manicure to beautify for the hustle and bustle of the week ahead. I encourage you to do whatever it is that helps you feel prepped and prepared. In our house we make an effort to go to bed early on Sundays. We find that if we stay up late, it messes up our sleep patterns for remaining days of the week and leaves you in a groggy haze. Really, it's all about Sunday setting the tone. So whether it's a clean house that helps you feel at ease or getting active in or out of the gym, use this day the right way for you.
When you start to think of Sunday as the start of your week you realize how easy it is to capitalize on this day and start your week off on a positive note - one that you can carry with you the rest of the week. A Sunday start to the week builds momentum, plus, it means you can start thinking of those Manic Mondays as one step closer to the weekend.
