Don’t you just hate it when your alarm wakes you up post weekend, and you realize you need to get back to work?

Getting to work on a Monday morning is a situation we all find to be quite laborious. We start dreading the entire week coming up ahead, and that’s enough to kill our buzz after the weekend. The more you think about it, the worse it gets, and that’s not a good start to the week. (Because this attitude lacks passion and the motivation needed to kick start work after a long weekend of good rest.)

Are you nodding affirmatively to all these points? If yes, then you have a bad case of Monday blues! Nothing to worry about, almost all of us face the same situation on a Monday morning. So, how to deal with it?

Here are a few things you can do that can help you bid adieu to Monday blues and instead welcome it with a chirpy smile!

 

Start the day early with an intention

Weekends are when you get to sleep all day and sit and laze around in your pajamas. Because of that, getting back to work on Monday morning is like a wakeup call. And often, we let our laziness drag us down.

The leisurely weekend makes our body feel lethargic, and we expect Monday to be the same as well. So, we end up running late because of hitting the snooze button too many times. But, if you plan your day and start early, you don’t have to worry about rushing things. Have the intention to go about the day positively, and you will experience a better day altogether.

 

 

Treat yourself!
