Coffee, Reflecting,

Monday Moves: Putting Our Plans Into Action

April 08, 20251 min read

Let’s be honest—Monday can be a bit of a slow dance. We wake up with good intentions, maybe a strong cup of coffee, and a mental checklist that says, “This week, I’ve got this!” But sometimes by noon, that motivation can slip into “maybe tomorrow.”

I get it. Mondays are filled with possibilities, but also pressure. The key isn’t to be perfect—it’s to be intentional.

Whether your day started with a workout, a quiet prayer, or just trying to find your other sock, today still counts. Mondays aren’t about doing it all; they’re about starting. Even one small action—writing down your goal, sending that email, or carving out 10 minutes to journal—can build momentum for the rest of your week.

Sometimes we think we have to wait until we feel ready, but more often, readiness comes from doing. So if your plan is to write that book, launch that business, or just get more organized this week, Monday is your gentle nudge to begin.

And if the day is already winding down, that’s okay too. Take a moment tonight to reflect, regroup, and get clear on your next step. A fresh start doesn’t need a full day—it just needs a willing heart.

So let’s give ourselves grace, take that first step, and trust that progress—even the tiniest kind—is worth celebrating.

You’ve got this. Monday is just the beginning.
