You know what is one of the most important lessons that I’ve learned over the last few of years? That it’s those small, seemingly insignificant changes that we make in our “everyday” life that can have the biggest impact. Things like the way you react to things. Things that you tell yourself, every single day. Like daily mantras. Mantras are words and phrases (or, sounds) that you repeat to yourself daily.

Sometimes, even when you’re having the best weekend ever, those Sunday night blues hit you out of nowhere. Growing up, I hated Sunday nights with passion. I mean, it probably had a lot to do with having to go to school the next day. I can easily say that for most of my life, Sunday night was my least favorite time of the week.
