COPING WITH THE ‘MONDAY’ FEVER

Yeah! Its Monday again! Are you happy it’s a Monday? Well if you are not, there is little or nothing you can do about it. Life has to go on.

For most people, having to start Monday with the thought of working the entire week all over again can be really challenging. Many will trade valuables not to repeat that trend.

Clearly, not everyone like their jobs so if you are one of those who do not, maybe you need to think of leaving it. Having to go through another 5 days of the same hectic/boring or interesting/challenging thing sucks right?

My worst day is Sunday night and my favourite day is Friday. We all have reasons why we detest Mondays. 8 out of 10 people conceive an atom of dislike for Mondays ; especially those who have to wake up very early to beat the Lagos traffic.

We dance shakushaku on Friday night and fast-forward to Sunday night we start developing mood swings. Swift preparations surface. The drycleaner shows up at your door-step. For bachelors, meals start visiting the freezers. You lay on the bed and start reminiscing about how shots followed shots at the bar and how you rocked the beach with the crew.

Future thoughts will have you thinking about how many hours you will need to get sleep before the alarm beeps and you hit the busy streets.

Let me not bore you with this because it is what most of us experience and everyone will be able to write or say something realistic about Mondays.

A little advice from me.

Its not as hard as we all label it. Monday for you should be the start of a new journey
See Monday as the beginning of a new opportunity to rebrand yourself, improve your work ethic and thrive to be a better version of yourself.

Like I do, see Mondays as the beginning of another weekend. Unify the energy Friday and Saturday bring and infuse it into the new week.

I am not going to pretend that workdays are all smiley-smiley considering the fact that mad traffic and SARS conveniently threaten our existence.
However, we should be positive about getting home every day unlocking the door and pulling off our shoes with a smile on our faces.

Trust me Monday is arguably the most challenging, inspiring and motivational day of the week.

The truth is no matter how much we hate Mondays they remind us of how we utilised our weekend, prepare us for a new challenging week and lastly herald the arrival of another new weekend.

So what you gon’ do? Get into the new week with 100% positivity and watch your week blossom.

I love Mondays! Do you?
