Merry Monday! Well, almost..
We came across this quote and thought it was apt for those
suffering from Monday morning blues!
A Monday is the perfect opportunity to turn over a new leaf,
take advantage of it to do something you’ve always wanted to do! Perhaps you
want to learn how to play an instrument, talk to family more or be more
organised, a Monday is a clean slate, a chance to draw a line under the previous
week and start again.
It’s easy to see Monday as a daunting prospect; a new week,
more work, the rat race- but guess what? It doesn’t have to be that way! Take a deep
breath and follow these simple steps.
STEP ONE – make a list of all the things you need to do and
spread the tasks across the week to ensure minimal stress! Making a list also
allows you to meet goals every day and let’s be honest, getting things done on
time and meeting deadlines is definitely a morale boost! Small and manageable
tasks ensure that you are not overwhelmed with everything you have to do and
allows you to feel good about yourself when you get them done!
STEP TWO – take time for yourself, have a bubble bath or
read a book; this counts not just for a Monday but every day! Take time out of your
day to question how you feel, if you don’t feel as happy and as productive as
you could do, why? What could you do to help yourself? A simple relaxation method
that I enjoy is using a website called ‘calm.com’. This allows you to take 5-20
minutes out of your day to reflect and relax, this is a perfect activity for a Sunday
night before bed to ensure you are calm and stress-free.
