6
00:00:29.079 --> 00:00:30.800
<v Speaker 1>twenty what or older to play gambling problem called way

7
00:00:30.839 --> 00:00:31.359
<v Speaker 1>hunter gambler?

8
00:00:33.200 --> 00:00:38.719
<v Speaker 2>Is it just me or our Monday's just a little

9
00:00:38.759 --> 00:00:42.640
<v Speaker 2>bit harder to get going? Is it just me? Or

10
00:00:42.759 --> 00:00:49.399
<v Speaker 2>is it Monday mornings that you wake up and you

11
00:00:49.520 --> 00:00:52.840
<v Speaker 2>just start like, man, it's Monday. It doesn't matter if

12
00:00:52.840 --> 00:00:56.479
<v Speaker 2>you like your job or not. It's just something about

13
00:00:56.759 --> 00:01:02.759
<v Speaker 2>Monday that just drags. Maybe it's because you had a

14
00:01:02.840 --> 00:01:07.319
<v Speaker 2>sports field weekend where you were watching the college semi

15
00:01:07.319 --> 00:01:12.959
<v Speaker 2>finals and bled into the NFL playoffs. Maybe it's just

16
00:01:13.000 --> 00:01:17.400
<v Speaker 2>because you had a weekend to recharge and refresh, but

17
00:01:17.480 --> 00:01:22.480
<v Speaker 2>you didn't quite recharge and that has Monday dragging a

18
00:01:22.640 --> 00:01:28.959
<v Speaker 2>bit for you. The famous cartoon cat Garfield always had

19
00:01:29.079 --> 00:01:34.280
<v Speaker 2>his I Hate Mondays as part of his cartoon stick.

20
00:01:35.319 --> 00:01:39.719
<v Speaker 2>His comic strip was always popular and as I Hate

21
00:01:39.799 --> 00:01:43.920
<v Speaker 2>Monday's line became iconic because it spoke to so many

22
00:01:44.000 --> 00:01:47.640
<v Speaker 2>people who felt the same way about this day of

23
00:01:47.680 --> 00:01:53.879
<v Speaker 2>the week as Garfield did. It reflects the start of

24
00:01:54.040 --> 00:01:57.599
<v Speaker 2>the work week for most people. Yes, I understand they

25
00:01:57.599 --> 00:02:00.680
<v Speaker 2>are people that have jobs that are not Monday through Friday,

26
00:02:00.799 --> 00:02:05.120
<v Speaker 2>and they may not be Monday quite the same way

27
00:02:06.079 --> 00:02:10.400
<v Speaker 2>that those Monday through Friday workers do. But there's still

28
00:02:10.560 --> 00:02:19.360
<v Speaker 2>a stigma against Mondays. I myself used to hate Mondays

29
00:02:19.439 --> 00:02:23.120
<v Speaker 2>when I was working what was a traditional Monday through

30
00:02:23.159 --> 00:02:29.560
<v Speaker 2>Friday job. Now I still go a little bit slower

31
00:02:29.599 --> 00:02:35.400
<v Speaker 2>on Mondays because things. Even though you transition to different

32
00:02:35.439 --> 00:02:39.400
<v Speaker 2>positions and different jobs or whatnot, and maybe you're not

33
00:02:39.680 --> 00:02:45.240
<v Speaker 2>confined to Monday through Friday anymore, but there's still that

34
00:02:45.560 --> 00:02:51.520
<v Speaker 2>lingering feeling of what Monday has always represented for you.

35
00:02:52.080 --> 00:02:56.319
<v Speaker 2>There's still that lingering thought that, man, I just don't

36
00:02:56.319 --> 00:03:01.199
<v Speaker 2>want to get going on a Monday. But here's the thing,

37
00:03:01.439 --> 00:03:04.280
<v Speaker 2>Mondays are what we make of it. And I'll be

38
00:03:04.280 --> 00:03:05.960
<v Speaker 2>honest with you, Monday it's not going to be that

39
00:03:06.120 --> 00:03:08.800
<v Speaker 2>different from Tuesday. It's not going to be that different

40
00:03:08.800 --> 00:03:12.360
<v Speaker 2>from Wednesday. It's not going to be that different from

41
00:03:12.479 --> 00:03:17.560
<v Speaker 2>Thursday or Friday. For me now, on my new chosen profession,

42
00:03:19.120 --> 00:03:22.400
<v Speaker 2>Tuesdays and Fridays are probably a little bit more hectic

43
00:03:22.439 --> 00:03:27.599
<v Speaker 2>because those are our deadline days. It's not terrible, it's

44
00:03:27.639 --> 00:03:32.639
<v Speaker 2>not anything to panic about, but those are her deadline days.

45
00:03:32.680 --> 00:03:36.199
<v Speaker 2>So those are the days that we seem to put

46
00:03:36.240 --> 00:03:40.240
<v Speaker 2>a little bit more hard work in. Not saying we

47
00:03:40.280 --> 00:03:42.520
<v Speaker 2>don't work hard on every day, because we do. I

48
00:03:42.520 --> 00:03:46.680
<v Speaker 2>mean there's stories to chase every day of the week,

49
00:03:46.840 --> 00:03:49.879
<v Speaker 2>but sometimes you can hit. You get to that deadline

50
00:03:49.960 --> 00:03:52.479
<v Speaker 2>day and maybe it's been slow news building up and

51
00:03:52.560 --> 00:03:56.080
<v Speaker 2>everything breaks that morning, or maybe everything you've gotten ready

52
00:03:56.240 --> 00:04:00.719
<v Speaker 2>for now has to get bumped because there's a story

53
00:04:00.759 --> 00:04:03.960
<v Speaker 2>that just hit that morning and you got to try

54
00:04:03.960 --> 00:04:09.719
<v Speaker 2>to chase it before that magical deadline that everything has

55
00:04:09.759 --> 00:04:13.879
<v Speaker 2>to be in by now. Personally, I enjoy it. I

56
00:04:13.960 --> 00:04:16.439
<v Speaker 2>like the deadline push, and I like being able to

57
00:04:16.639 --> 00:04:22.959
<v Speaker 2>chase down the stories I tend to I might be

58
00:04:23.000 --> 00:04:25.040
<v Speaker 2>a sick oh and the fact that I like trying

59
00:04:25.040 --> 00:04:31.639
<v Speaker 2>to work against the clock. But again, going back to

60
00:04:31.720 --> 00:04:35.879
<v Speaker 2>the subject of Monday, since today is a Monday, maybe

61
00:04:35.920 --> 00:04:39.399
<v Speaker 2>my challenge to you is when you look around and

62
00:04:39.519 --> 00:04:44.560
<v Speaker 2>you look out and say, you know what, this is

63
00:04:44.680 --> 00:04:49.399
<v Speaker 2>just another day. I don't have to hate it. I

64
00:04:49.399 --> 00:04:52.120
<v Speaker 2>don't have to love it, but I do have to

65
00:04:52.160 --> 00:04:56.839
<v Speaker 2>get through it. Monday is what you make of it.

66
00:04:56.920 --> 00:05:00.199
<v Speaker 2>If you go into any day, whether it's Monday Day

67
00:05:00.439 --> 00:05:04.079
<v Speaker 2>or Wednesday, it doesn't matter. If you go into the

68
00:05:04.199 --> 00:05:10.360
<v Speaker 2>day already believing that it's going to be terrible just

69
00:05:10.439 --> 00:05:14.480
<v Speaker 2>because of what day of the week it is on

70
00:05:14.560 --> 00:05:19.680
<v Speaker 2>the calendar, you've already set yourself behind the eight ball

71
00:05:19.759 --> 00:05:22.959
<v Speaker 2>a little bit. You've already set yourself up to have

72
00:05:23.079 --> 00:05:27.639
<v Speaker 2>a bad day because you've convinced yourself that that's what

73
00:05:27.839 --> 00:05:33.600
<v Speaker 2>Monday is. You have already accepted defeat, and maybe you shouldn't.

74
00:05:34.000 --> 00:05:35.920
<v Speaker 2>Maybe you should stand up and say, you know what,

75
00:05:36.000 --> 00:05:38.399
<v Speaker 2>this Monday is going to be the greatest day of

76
00:05:38.439 --> 00:05:43.319
<v Speaker 2>the week. And then do that again on Tuesday, do

77
00:05:43.439 --> 00:05:46.959
<v Speaker 2>that again on Wednesday, do that again on Thursday, Friday,

78
00:05:47.000 --> 00:05:51.360
<v Speaker 2>and so on. You really don't need much help in

79
00:05:52.120 --> 00:05:55.399
<v Speaker 2>trying to prop up the weekend as being great, of course,

80
00:05:55.480 --> 00:06:02.680
<v Speaker 2>But if you start to change your mindset and start

81
00:06:02.759 --> 00:06:08.120
<v Speaker 2>to try to view Monday in a different light, maybe

82
00:06:08.560 --> 00:06:13.000
<v Speaker 2>maybe you'll actually find something about the day of the

83
00:06:13.000 --> 00:06:18.959
<v Speaker 2>week that you'll enjoy. Maybe you'll stop always having a

84
00:06:19.199 --> 00:06:25.079
<v Speaker 2>negative experience on a Monday, because guess what, you accepted

85
00:06:25.120 --> 00:06:26.800
<v Speaker 2>the fact that this day of the week can be

86
00:06:26.920 --> 00:06:30.920
<v Speaker 2>whatever you want to make it. It can be whatever

87
00:06:31.759 --> 00:06:36.680
<v Speaker 2>you believe in your heart. It could be Monday's just

88
00:06:36.720 --> 00:06:40.920
<v Speaker 2>a day. It's just something we look at on the calendar.

89
00:06:41.199 --> 00:06:48.319
<v Speaker 2>It has no magical powers, it has no evil intentions. Yes,

90
00:06:48.839 --> 00:06:53.720
<v Speaker 2>the cartoon cat hated Mondays. Yes, I have gone through

91
00:06:54.720 --> 00:06:57.560
<v Speaker 2>my spell of waking up on a Monday and saying

92
00:06:57.600 --> 00:07:02.199
<v Speaker 2>I hate Mondays. If you've ever worked a Monday through

93
00:07:02.240 --> 00:07:09.279
<v Speaker 2>Friday typical eight to five job, you probably had a

94
00:07:09.480 --> 00:07:13.800
<v Speaker 2>dislike for Mondays at some point. But my challenge to

95
00:07:13.879 --> 00:07:17.240
<v Speaker 2>you is to try to take today and put a

96
00:07:17.279 --> 00:07:22.639
<v Speaker 2>positive spin on it. Put a spin to where you're

97
00:07:22.879 --> 00:07:26.439
<v Speaker 2>going to make this day the best it can be,

98
00:07:27.040 --> 00:07:32.839
<v Speaker 2>and don't let the negativity seep in. If you do that,

99
00:07:34.000 --> 00:07:39.040
<v Speaker 2>you can reclaim Monday. If you can do that, you

100
00:07:39.079 --> 00:07:45.600
<v Speaker 2>can potentially move days into a better stratosphere for yourself.

101
00:07:46.439 --> 00:07:52.360
<v Speaker 2>Attitude a lot of times defines our reality. Why don't

102
00:07:52.399 --> 00:07:56.279
<v Speaker 2>you just go ahead and have a positive attitude about

103
00:07:56.279 --> 00:08:02.720
<v Speaker 2>this particular Monday and all Mondays moving forward. Something tells

104
00:08:02.759 --> 00:08:05.279
<v Speaker 2>me it's not going to stick, but let's give it

105
00:08:05.360 --> 00:08:08.920
<v Speaker 2>a try. This has been morning coffee with the right
