Ah, Monday…perhaps the toughest day of the week for many of us.  Our weekend fun is behind us and our to-do lists loom in front of us without a day off in sight.  There’s a reason why some people have a weekly struggle with “a case of the Mondays.”  (Note:  if you happen to have a case of the Mondays right now and you’re also an Office Space fan, that clip will definitely make you feel better).  Regardless, when life hands us difficult circumstances, difficult people, or simply another Monday, it can be tough to break free from a negative mindset.  As such, I’ve rounded up ten of my favorite positive mindset quotes that are guaranteed to help you snap out of your funk and start thriving again.

As I always tell my clients, once you change your behavior, you can change your thoughts, which will then lead to a continued change in your behavior.  However, sometimes you need a little extra motivation to make that first positive behavior change, and that’s where this list of positive quotes comes in.  I hope they can encourage you right where you are today, and spur you on toward happy thoughts and joyful living.  

“To improve your life, you must improve.  Be more kind, compassionate and loving to yourself.  Give yourself grace.  Live with gratitude.  Empower yourself.  Look after your health and well-being.  Adopt a positive mindset.  Change your perspectives.  Pursue your dreams and passions.” – Akiroq Brost
