Hey ,

I used to hate Mondays...In fact, my favorite coffee mug (and my favorite tagline) said, “Mondays SUCK.”And if you know the song "Just Another Manic Monday" by the Bangles (sorry for the blast from the past), it was my theme song.I was miserable on Mondays.In truth, it was worse: The dread started on Sunday afternoon – the “Sunday Scaries.”My Monday blues were taking over my life!THEN one day – admittedly, probably a Wednesday, when I got far enough from Monday – my higher self (or my highest lower self) got to thinking about WHY I hated Mondays so much.What I discovered was quite eye-opening and helped me figure out how to beat the Monday blues. Ready?Mondays sucked for me because because I didn’t keep ANY body and food promises on the weekend. Promises?What promises? Exactly.In fact, I behaved as though Friday at 6pm until Sunday evening was my free time. Literally.And that meant being free from any of my promises.Free from my exercise promises.Free from my food promises.Free from my sleep promises. Clearly, my board of advisors (my head!), with my inner-brat at its helm, thought, “no promises = freedom.”But the truth is that those promises actually gave me the structure I needed to feel good in my body and about my body...

Love,Hildie Dunn
