Beating Monday Morning Blues
Author : Pat Johnson
Ring…rinnggg…rinnnggg…
The alarm is ringing. It’s 7:30 am and you have to get up and get ready for work on Monday morning. But you can barely drag yourself out of bed. You wish the weekend to last for another day so that you could keep your commitments at bay for a little longer. You push the snooze button yet again as you cover yourself with your blanket.
Does the above experience sound familiar? If it does, you are probably suffering from Monday morning blues. But there is nothing to dread. Almost everybody has had it. Mondays are annoying for many of us. We are reluctant to go to work and wish if we could have more time to relax.
Alas, Monday morning comes every week and there is no way of skipping it!
The key to beating Monday morning blues lies in organizing your work. We tend to accomplish lot more on our weekends than we can actually do — the result is we over-plan and underachieve. With proper organization of your work you can relax more, complete more task and spent more time with family and friends.
Here are few easy and effective ways to break your Monday Blues in a flash!
Prepare for your weekend
Plan your weekend well ahead. Be realistic and do not over plan.
Prepare a to-do list for your weekend so that you don’t miss out on anything.
To enjoy a stress free Sunday complete all your chores on Saturday and plan some entertainment and fun activities. Spend time with family and friends and spend some time on exercise.
Fill your week with some fun activities so that end of weekend does not feel like end of world.
Sleep well to reduce stress
Never compromise with your minimal daily requirements for healthy living: sufficient sleep, healthy food, and exercise.
Adhere to your normal sleeping time. During weekend we go to bed late and wake up late. This out-of-rhythm sleep disrupts the internal clock of our body as we find it difficult to wake up on Monday morning.
If you can, try taking little naps in between your work to keep yourself energized. However, try not to nap on Sunday afternoon or you will not be able to sleep early and prevent drowsiness on Monday afternoon.
Drain out the negative energy
Exercise is probably the last thing that you would do on a Monday morning but trust me it is actually a great way to start to start the week. Exercise for half an hour in the morning will get your blood pumping, release the feel-good endorphins and expel the negative energies out of your body. Not only will this give your body a physical boost but also make your brain more alert and ready for work.
Get out in the sunlight. Bright light refreshes your body and helps you reset your internal clock. Ensure that your work area is brightly illuminated and has lighter shades of color on the wall as these increases the brightness and makes the workplace look spacious.
Wear clothes which makes you feel confidant, comfortable and happy. Dress to look best on Mondays.
On top of all, change your attitude towards Mondays. Perceiving Mondays in a negative light will not help in anyway. Look at it as a great beginning to start a new week.
Ease out a bit
After a couple of days off you may not feel like doing some complicated work on Monday morning. So, start with that kind of work which you enjoy to do. Loosen up a bit. Drink some coffee and catch up with friends to remind you that work isn’t so bad.
Avoid negative interactions that may ruin your mood at the beginning of the workweek. Experiencing positive interactions will make you feel good about yourself and your work.
A bad traffic can ruin the rest of the day. Start from home early to beat the traffic and listen to good music during your drive to work to soothe yourself.
Because Monday mornings cannot be avoided, you should get used to it. Change your attitude and start looking at the Mondays as a great start for another exciting week. If none of the above tips help you to beat the blues then consider a change in career. A more satisfying job can help you cope up with the Monday morning blues. A new job, new responsibilities, new people, new workplace may do the trick.
