National Thank God It’s Monday Day is an unofficial observance celebrated the first Monday of the year.
🙌 What It’s About
Despite the name being a playful twist on the more common “Thank God It’s Friday,” this day is about:
Reframing Mondays in a positive way
Appreciating new beginnings and fresh starts
Finding gratitude for work, routine, purpose, or simply another day to try again
It often falls during the quiet stretch between Christmas and New Year’s, making it a moment to reset your mindset before the new year begins.
💡 Ways People Observe It
Setting intentions or goals for the upcoming year
Practicing gratitude for opportunities, stability, or growth
Starting a project you’ve been putting off
Sharing a positive message about Mondays
It’s less about loving Mondays perfectly and more about choosing optimism and perspective — even when motivation is low.
