Trying to Find Monday Motivation to Adult (Send Help 😂)

Trying to Find Monday Motivation to Adult (Send Help 😂)

Ah, Monday. The day that sneaks up like a raccoon in your trash—loud, chaotic, and not exactly welcome.

You had high hopes Sunday night. Maybe you even laid out your clothes, set a few optimistic alarms, and told yourself this was the week you'd finally get your life together. But then Monday morning hits like a plot twist you didn’t sign up for. Suddenly, adulting feels like a group project where no one’s doing their part, least of all you.

The Great Monday Myth

We’ve all heard that Monday is a fresh start. A clean slate. A launchpad for productivity. And while that’s a nice thought, most of us are just trying to remember our passwords and survive the existential dread of checking our inbox.

Let’s be honest—finding motivation on a Monday is a little like trying to charge your phone with a spaghetti noodle. It sounds doable until you actually try it.

But We Still Try

Some days, motivation is a whole vibe. Other days, it’s just:

  • “If I get through this meeting, I’m buying myself a pastry.”

  • “Three more days until Thursday, which is basically Friday.”

  • “At least I'm not crying in a bathroom stall today—growth!”

It’s okay if your biggest accomplishment today is showing up. Adulting isn’t about perfection—it’s about persistence.

Your Reminder for Today:

You are not behind. You are not lazy. You are a complex, overworked adult doing your best to balance responsibilities, life, and maybe even your mental health—on a Monday, no less.

So breathe. Stretch. Take that extra-long coffee break. Pet your cat. Romanticize your lunch like it’s a Michelin-star meal. Whatever gets you through.

You’ve got this. And if you don’t? There’s always Tuesday.

Artemy Alcala | Living in the Moment: How Today Shapes Tomorrow

Living in the Moment: How Today Shapes Tomorrow In a world that’s always looking ahead, it’s easy to forget the value of the present moment. We’re taught to plan for the future, set long-term goals, and constantly strive for what’s next. But sometimes, the most powerful thing we can do is simply focus on *right now*. The Present Is All We Truly Have You can’t change the past. The future isn’t guaranteed. The only time you truly have control over is this very moment. What you choose to do right now matters. It matters more than all the plans and dreams if you’re not taking action today to bring them closer.  Living in the moment means showing up fully for your life—without being distracted by regrets or future fears. It means being intentional with your time, your energy, and your choices. Small Actions Lead to Big Results Every little step you take today is a building block for the life you want. Whether it’s choosing to eat better, learning something new, staying focused, or being...

Artemy Alcala | Rediscovering the Coelacanth: A Living Fossil Resurfaces in 2025

Rediscovering the Coelacanth: A Living Fossil Resurfaces in 2025 In the vast, mysterious depths of the ocean, nature continues to surprise us. One of the most fascinating revelations of 2025 has been the rare sighting of the Indonesian coelacanth ( Latimeria menadoensis ), a fish species once thought to be extinct for over 70 million years. This "living fossil" has reemerged, challenging our understanding of extinction and deep-sea biodiversity. A Prehistoric Survivor The coelacanth is no ordinary fish. With origins tracing back over 400 million years, it predates the dinosaurs and even most land vertebrates. Long believed to have perished during the mass extinction at the end of the Cretaceous period, the coelacanth shocked the scientific world when it was rediscovered off the coast of South Africa in 1938. A second species, the Indonesian coelacanth, was formally identified in 1999, proving that life in the oceans can be more resilient—and mysterious—than we ever imagi...

Artemy Alcala | "Zombie" Neurons and Chronic Pain: A Scientific Breakthrough in Aging Research

"Zombie" Neurons and Chronic Pain: A Scientific Breakthrough in Aging Research A significant scientific breakthrough was announced on May 14, 2025, that may reshape our understanding of chronic pain and neurodegeneration. Researchers at Rubedo Life Sciences, in collaboration with academic scientists, discovered that a specific type of dysfunctional brain cell — known as senescent or "zombie" neurons — may be directly linked to chronic neuropathic pain and neurological aging. This groundbreaking research was published in Nature Neuroscience and marks the first time scientists have clearly shown how aging brain cells may play a role in long-term pain disorders and age-related decline in brain function. What Are “Zombie” Neurons? Senescent cells, often called "zombie" cells, are old or damaged cells that stop dividing but don't die. Instead, they remain in the body and release harmful inflammatory chemicals. These secretions, called the senescence-associ...
