Read This Before You Start Your Monday.

Happy Monday, love.

I’ve been reading The Tools by Phil Stutz, and it’s filling me with such a beautiful sense of energy for the week ahead. The book is a reminder that we’re far more powerful, creative, and capable than we give ourselves credit for - and that we always have access to the inner tools that lift us higher.

Here are a few feel-good, uplifting takeaways that I’m carrying into this new week:

1. You have everything you need to create a good day - right now.

Stutz teaches that we’re never stuck. With the right mindset, you can shift your mood, your energy, and your direction instantly. That’s empowering. You can choose your tone for the week, and today is a perfect place to begin.

2. The smallest positive action sets the whole day in motion.

A deep breath.

A grateful thought.

A 2-minute pause to reconnect.

The book reminds us that tiny shifts open the door to brighter moments.

3. You are more capable than your fear, and more gifted than your doubt.

One of the tools encourages you to step forward with confidence, not because life is perfect, but because you are strong. You can meet whatever this week brings with grace.

4. Joy grows when you move towards what uplifts you.

Whether it’s your wellness rituals, your work, your kids, or your quiet moments, the energy you bring nourishes everything you touch. When you lean into what feels good, life responds generously.

5. Every day gives you a chance to rewrite the story.

And that’s the beauty of Monday - a clean slate, a new beginning, a soft invitation to create the week you desire.

So here is my loving reminder to you:

You’re stepping into this week with light around you, clarity within you, and tools that support you.

Choose what feels good.

Choose what brings peace.

Choose what strengthens your spirit.

This week is already unfolding beautifully for you - I feel it.🤎
