I’ll Never Do Mondays Again

Restored from the Empower Network archive (2011–2017), lightly edited to meet our current advertising standards. Views are the original author’s.

 I remember it like it was yesterday…
… only it was 2006.  I had a booming real estate practice.But because I swore to never forget a certain half hour in my back yard just before sundown……. I remember it clearly.

It was a Sunday evening and we had just finished up a great BBQ dinner.  You know the kind of awesome BBQ where the sauce gets all over your mouth and fingers and the hot buttered corn in the cob gets stuck in your teeth but you don’t care cuz it was SO good?…

(yeah, that’s what I’m talking about)

Anyway…

… the dishes were done & kitchen cleaned up.

The weather was perfect with a small window of time before sundown and I really didn’t want to go indoors just yet. The family was inside doing  whatever they are doing and didn’t want to join me outside.

So I poured a glass of “table wine” (that’s sweet tea in South Carolina), pulled up a cushy chaise lounge and laid  it back just enough where I still could sip my tea comfortably.

As I starred into the trees and sky above, I realized just how great the weekend had been.  For the first time since
I could remember,I felt…

…well…I guess you’d say, a taste of true freedom?

I found myself taking inventory of what DIDN’T happen over the weekend to put me in this unusual state of calm.

– No phone calls.
– No deadlines.
– No contracts.
– No home inspections.
– No appraisal problems.
– No client complaints.
– No meetings.
– No showings.
– No negotiations.
– No daytimer

AND… to sweeten the mood…

– No fancy hairdo
– No makeup
– No panty hose and high heels
– No suit

Just me…

  • playing at the beach
  • playing in my hobby (scrapbooking)
  • trying a new recipe
  • playing cards with the family

And now…

… sitting in my lounge chair
… barefoot with hair twisted and pinned on my head
… the cool of the early evening settling in and
… my teaI basked in the feeling of total freedom for about a half hour, maybe longer.I imagined what it would feel like to have this feeling everyday.

I loved it.  I craved it.

I went places in my mind like a little girl daydreams under a shade tree in summer.

I saw my life of freedom.

I experienced how it felt.I put myself in the same dinner tonight but yet tomorrow would be the same….
…like Groundhog day.There would be no Mondays that would rattle my cage.I’d sleep in and wake up naturally.
There were no alarm clocks.I smelled it, touched it …and for the longest time……just went there

… in my mind.

  • I traveled all over the world…
  • I hired a chef to come to my home and teach me how to make delicious new recipes.
  • I built water wells for communities in countries where people were dying.  And feeding them and giving them shelters.
  • I built a home to house teens who parents kicked them out and I set up programs for them to tap into their inner greatness and taught them about entrepreneurship.
  • I had time to work in my hobby industry and do more designs.

This life was awesome… and I wanted it!

I was going to have it.I made a decision that some how, some way, I would trade my real estate license in for a life of freedom.And as the sun went down, I began to pull myself from the chair…when something powerful came over me…

two things I noticed about how my body had responded to my visualization.

1)  I felt ‘resolved’… it was ‘settled’…I would have a

lifestyle that I controlled and that didn’t control me.
I made a decision in my inner most conscious that
the life I just saw and experienced was what I wanted.
I WOULD have it.2)  I noticed my attitude started to draw downward.
When I took a look at the root of why… it was because the alarm clock would fire off in about
10 hours and signal me to “Go!” …
….Just like the gun fire at the start of a race…
…. and robotically, I’d get up .. shower, shave and shine….. and put up with all the crap I had to put up with during the week.

I realized my life was so busy that I didn’t have time to just slow down.  Nor was I in a career where I could do that really.

I keep my phone at my side it seemed all the time.

I’m was on call 24/7 ready to put real estate deals together…

…or put fires out between buyers and sellers and oftentimes were the glue that kept deals together when the home inspection didn’t go so well… or the appraisal conditions were disheartening.

But here’s what happened…

… I tapped into the power of setting intentions…

… and visualizing.

============================

… and I’m wrapping up here
Stick with me one more minute because maybe
you feel the same way and darn it..
…. you don’t want to do Monday’s either.
And maybe you’re tired of the weekly crap too.
And you deserve to discover the formula
for firing your boss.
============================

So…

When the real estate market took a turn not too long after that night in my backyard, I seized the opportunity to completely revamp my life.

The first thought that came to my mind was…

I don’t do Mondays or alarm clocks” ……and from there……I searched the internet for how to get rich using my laptop.

I have always carried the those moments of calm and freedom from life’s distractions as well as remembering how tense my body felt and the attitude I copped as
Sunday evening approached in preparation for Monday.

I remember how my body was preparing me to ‘go into fight mode” for another hectic week.

It was like a internal switch got flipped.

Does that ever happen to you?

… there you are having a great weekend, Friday at 5 through Sunday night where you’ve been able to do whatever you want and them BAM! Monday is there.

You’re time and your life no longer belongs to you.

You’re boss makes the decisions and is back in charge.

  • And come Sunday night, you’re thinking about it.
  • And you’re not as joyful.
  • And you’re not as relaxed.
  • Going to bed isn’t as fun.
  • There’s this little ‘Eyeore’ rain cloud that hovers over you.

Anyway…

… I set out on my journey to figure out how this whole
get rich on the internet” worked…

… and I found it.

I discovered the formula for never having to do Mondays.
…Or any other day of the week.

And early this morning when everyone else in my neighborhood mosied out to their garage to start their cold car to head to a job I know they’d RATHER NOT….

… I was still sound asleep under the warmth of my electric blanket…

… got up about 9:30….

… enjoyed a Saturday morning cup of tea (today.. Monday).
