JULY 16, 2012 - MONDAY MORNING BLUES
It is fast approaching Monday morning again, the time most of us
have been dreading since about eight o'clock Sunday evening. If the thought of
someone just brimming with joy speaks to you before your first cup of coffee
makes your blood boil, you probably have a case of the Mondays. Not even the
person who fully loves what they do in their 8-5 can say they have never had
the urge to slap someone silly for being too happy on the dreaded day 1 of the
week.
Our cubicles are like dungeons, dark
and deserted until we breathe life into them by flipping on lights, turning on
our mini clock radios (that we strain our precious ears to hear) and of course
the humming of our computers. Some of us have tried to go to bed earlier in
hopes of not having that gut-wrenching feeling of nausea and anxiety but the
fact of the matter is that we love our weekends and Monday's are the last thing
we look forward to. Here are some fun tips to help overcome the Monday Morning
Blues.
*Listen to a song that you love.
Something upbeat that reminds you that you are lucky to be awake, and sing it
out loud in the car. Who cares if the person next to you thinks you are insane.
*Sleep in a extra 10 minutes in the
morning. It is okay to rush a little, "your" song will calm you down
once you are in he car.
*Pack your lunch the night before. If
you have things in order before you go to bed you can just "grab and
go".
*Make sure you have enjoyed your
weekend fully. Whether it was going out all weekend (partying or hanging with
your kids), or lounging in your PJ's all day Sunday it's okay. You have enjoyed
your time and you'll be ready to hit the grind.
*Plan your Friday activity! Plan to go
out to dinner and a movie with your sweetie, go to Happy Hour with your
friends. You must have something to look forward to.
*Read posts like this and do your job!!
Once the day is over- run, don't stop and don't ever ever think about your job
until the next morning when you get there!
Come on Friday!
