Monday has a rough reputation. In a Gallup poll, 65% of Americans named it their least favorite day of the week. Gallup also found that about 58% of people felt happy on a typical weekend day, compared with 46% on a typical Monday. The Sunday scaries make it worse. A LinkedIn survey of 2,000 U.S. workers found that 75% feel them.

The good news is that Monday is often kinder than we expect. One review of Gallup data from about 340,000 Americans found that Monday mood was no worse than other weekdays. Kind words also help. A 2025 review of 129 studies found that self-affirmations lift mood and ease anxiety. Below are 350 inspirational Monday messages you can copy, text, and post in one tap.
