Fresh Start of the Week Quotes
Monday is the start of the work week and for a lot of people the whole week that lies ahead can feel like it’s going to be a struggle. That is the challenge of every Monday.
Undoubtedly, the problem is that we look too much into the future. According to Eckhart Tolle (and I most certainly believe him) we cannot deal with the past because it’s already gone and we cannot cope with the future because we cannot know what will arrive.
The first significant step is to treat new Monday mornings as new beginnings and have a positive attitude. People who do this have great power and consequently they give themselves a head start.
You can do great work and you can achieve amazing things but you must forget about the previous week.
Firstly, read and absorb each inspirational quote below. Secondly, let them sink in.
A new new week is a fresh start that could lead you to a healthier and happier life.
“May God give you all the strength you need to get through the week. Remember that God is always there with you, by your side.”
“The tragedy in life doesn’t lie in not reaching your goal. The tragedy lies in having no goal to reach.”
“For a joyful and productive new week and a happy Monday with a new perspective you need to let go of the past because it’s gone, have a heart full of gratitude for what you have and for what is, and look forward to to what is on its way to you.”
“Wake up on Monday knowing that you can achieve something incredible next week. Imagine next Monday. What do you think you wish would have started today?”
“Mondays are the start of the work week which offer new beginnings 52 times a year.”
– David Dweck
“If you are looking forward to the weekend then you can make it an even better one right now. Let your Monday the best it can be, and then make the rest of the days of the week the best they can be. Then see just how great your weekend is after that.”

It is all up to you, in your control. Your thoughts, which lead to your motions. Your perceptions, which lead to your reactions. All of it.”
“Monday can go one of two ways. You can say it will be a struggle thai week, or you can tell yourself that this whole week you will be strong. What will it be?”
“Never, ever count the days. Instead, make the days count.”
“You have 52 chances every year to make it an incredible week. Therefore, don’t waste a single Monday. New beginnings can happen on this day too.”
Monday Morning Thoughts
Monday morning is an important time of day.
I like to give myself a little pep talk and think over some of my favorite inspirational Monday quotes, which are listed below.
If you had a relaxing weekend then it’s easier to be in a good frame of mind Monday morning and that helps for later on, no matter what the week throws at you.
If on the other hand your weekend didn’t go so well and you are starting the week with a mindset of unhappiness then these thoughts may help to pull you back into a better frame of mind.
In his book “The Power of Now” Eckhart Tolle asks: “what problems do you have right now.” That means not last week, not yesterday, not 5 minutes ago and not at any point in the future. But right this very second now as you are reading this. If you examine that very carefully (and I highly recommend you read the book) you will realise there is no problem that is actually right now.
In essence, I want you to look over the following good morning quotes and identify the ones that speak to you the most.
In addition to just reading them it is also important to absorb them so that you can avoid starting the week with a mindset of unhappiness.
A new new week is a fresh start that could lead to a healthier life.
