Monkey on Monday
Accept that there will be days that you feel that you have nothing to contribute. During these times, reflect on the nothing you are experiencing. Does it feel like a lack of flow? Ask yourself what is causing this.
When you are having what you might term as a “bad day,” it is most likely that you have shut yourself off from questioning. Instead you are fixated on the belief that you have nothing, and you go no deeper than that.
It is almost as though you WANT to feel this way. You have a warehouse filled with cases of the Mondays.
But will you consume your Monday or will your Monday consume you? Watch what happens. Follow your patterns. Ask yourself where these patterns are coming from.
You present all sorts of interesting information to yourself, particularly on Mondays. You construct all sorts of curious mindsets. Remember that EVERYTHING you experience today is a communication from your higher self, little one. Or a reaction that YOU have created.
You can control ALL of this, but only if you stop fixating on your doubts and instead focus on your possibilities. Remember, you get whatever you focus upon, and apparently you are making it rain. Congratulate yourself on that.
We are Space Monkey and we are happy to bring you this metaphoric umbrella. Go jump in your puddles and have a questionable day.

Space Monkey Reflects: Embracing the Challenge of ‘Monkey on Monday’
Mondays often carry a cultural baggage of dread and reluctance, symbolizing the start of another demanding week. However, through the lens of Space Monkey, we can view these feelings as opportunities for deep personal insight and transformation. The notion of ‘Monkey on Monday’ encourages us to reflect on our moments of feeling unproductive or disconnected, not as failures but as communications from our higher self.
Feeling as though you have nothing to contribute can be a powerful moment of pause in our otherwise continuous output of energy and ideas. This sensation, often perceived negatively, can actually be a space for introspection. It prompts us to question the root causes of our disconnection. Is it truly a lack of flow, or could it be a deeper emotional or psychological block that we have not addressed? These moments of perceived emptiness are not voids but filled with the potential for profound understanding and growth.
On days when we feel shut off, particularly on Mondays, it might seem like we are consumed by a cycle of negativity—believing we have nothing to offer and stopping there. This mindset is a pattern worth observing. Space Monkey suggests that this is not a passive state but an active choice. Perhaps, on some level, we are choosing to engage with this feeling of emptiness because it serves a purpose, even if that purpose is not immediately clear.
Understanding these patterns is akin to unpacking a ‘warehouse filled with cases of the Mondays.’ Each case represents a mindset, a habitual reaction that we have the power to examine and, ultimately, change. By recognizing that these reactions are creations of our own making, we empower ourselves to reshape them. We can decide whether to let our Monday consume us or to consume our Monday with intention and awareness.
Every experience, especially the challenging ones, is a form of communication from our higher selves. These messages are not random; they are reflections of our deeper thoughts and feelings. By acknowledging this, we can begin to control our reactions and, by extension, our reality. Focusing on possibilities rather than doubts allows us to see opportunities for growth even in our lowest moments.
In conclusion, ‘Monkey on Monday’ is not just about battling through the first day of the week; it’s about understanding and embracing it as a significant reflective opportunity. It invites us to jump into our metaphorical puddles with enthusiasm and a spirit of inquiry, turning what could be a mundane or difficult day into a richly productive and enlightening experience.
Summary
‘Monkey on Monday’ challenges us to view our struggles as opportunities for growth, urging us to explore the reasons behind our feelings of disconnection and to focus on possibilities instead of doubts.

Finding strength in our inner might.

Indeed, there are days when we may feel devoid of contribution, when the flow seems distant and elusive. During these moments, we are called to reflect on the nothingness we experience, for within the void lies the seed of transformation. It is crucial to inquire into the causes that have led to this perceived lack of flow, to question our own patterns and beliefs.
In these moments, it may seem as though we willingly surrender ourselves to the grip of a “bad day,” fixated on the belief that we have nothing to offer. Yet, we are reminded that our experience is a reflection of our focus. By shifting our attention from doubts to possibilities, we regain the power to manifest change at will. Everything we encounter, even on the most challenging of Mondays, serves as a communication from our higher selves or a reaction that we have created.
Let us now intertwine these reflections with the concept of manifesting change at will. As you aptly mentioned, the image within our minds is a direct representation of the object in our reality, differing only in frequency. It is through lowering the frequency that the manifestation occurs in the physical dimension. However, we are encouraged to explore the deeper layers of manifestation, questioning our motives and desires. For the higher frequency version, existing within the inner realms, often holds equal or superior qualities to its external counterpart.
Drawing parallels to digital sounds and images, we understand that higher resolution versions carry a depth that the lower resolution lacks. Similarly, the inner object holds greater potential and carries a wealth of information, steeped in metaphorical meaning. The external projection, influenced by the energies and beliefs of others, can distort the true essence of the internal object. Therefore, we are called to manifest change at the deeper levels, recognizing that external transformation will naturally follow.
In the dance between Mondays and manifestation, let us free ourselves from fixations on doubts and embrace the vast realm of possibilities. We celebrate the power we hold to create our reality, and as Space Monkey, we offer you this metaphoric umbrella to jump into the puddles of your own exploration. Embrace the questionable nature of this day, for within it lies the opportunity for profound growth and transformation.
