Description
Monday morning is a new beginning...a fresh start! It's a time to start
over and get it right this time. Sadly, for many it is a time of dread
and despair at the mere thought of having to embark upon another week in
a situation where they don't want to be. Monday mornings are an amazing
opportunity to re-energize, refresh and refocus so it's time to change
the way that we think about them. Just like a good cup of
coffee or a warm ray of sunshine, the motivational messages in this book
give you that boost that you need to start your week off right. Each
chapter will leave you encouraged, inspired and excited about the new
week that lies ahead.
Praise and Reviews
As the end of the year approaches you are no doubt likely to hear people
excitedly speak about their New Year's resolutions-vows to eat better,
work harder and do things in a different way than they did in the
passing in year. For many the start of the calendar year as an
opportunity to wipe the slate clean of past mistakes and regrets,
however in Monica Marie Jones' sixth book, Monday Morning Motivation,
she challenges readers to view every Monday as a new year, "Everyday is a
new day and an opportunity to start over again, but I feel that Mondays
are the most powerful because they are the beginning."
The book,
which started as a weekly email blast to Jones' close friends and
supporters, is a compilation of 52 weekly inspirational messages written
to help the reader use Mondays as a chance to re-commit to a lifestyle
change, do something differently than done in the previous week and
start a journey of letting go of something that negatively impacts your
life. True to her previous written works, Monica delivers insights by
drawing on personal experiences and revelations starting with Week 1
appropriately titled Out With the Old, In With the New. In this chapter
she compares ridding her space of unnecessary, poor quality clothing and
household items to people with the same attributes who are just taking
up room that could be utilized by things and people that add value. She
likens this relationship of holding on to superfluous things and people
to comforters- their purpose is to keep us warm and many use them as a
security blanket to make us feel good. She states that often times in
life we keep people who serve that same purpose, but like comforters one
or two is usually enough, anymore and you run the risk of being
surrounded by people who simply coddle you and don't force you to grow.
At
the end of the chapter Jones challenges the reader to evaluate the
things and people they may need to let go of in order to make room for
what you want to attract in your life. For each of the remaining 51
weeks, a new subject is presented using real life analogies and
practical exercises that not only change your way of thinking, but also
allow to you walk confidently in your purpose. So as you make your New
Year's Resolutions or when you revisit them months down the line, add
reading Monday Morning Motivation to your list to keep you on track for
staying positive throughout the year.
