\"WomanHow you start your day sets the tone for the day.\u00a0<\/p>\n

And how you start your Monday sets the tone for that week.\u00a0<\/p>\n

All new beginnings provide you with this opportunity.\u00a0<\/p>\n

So be INTENTIONAL this day, and set the positive tone you want to see in your week.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Gandhi said to “be the change you want to see in the world<\/em>“.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This wisdom applies to so many things, including our own mindful selves.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Be the positive contribution that you want to see in others around you.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
