Whisper it to yourself while making your coffee or tea.
Take three slow breaths and repeat your mantra before opening your laptop.
Journal a few sentences about how you want to embody your mantra throughout the day.

Slowing Down is a Powerful Move
A slower Monday isn’t a wasted Monday.
It’s an intentional decision to start from a place of strength, self-respect, and mindfulness instead of panic.
You don’t have to earn your peace—you just have to allow it.
And every Monday is a new chance to begin again, softer and stronger than before.
