Find out what’s really bothering you

Do you feel stressed because of your work? Maybe, this can be a reason for you hating your Mondays. It is becoming constantly very important to know the source of your blues. Spend time identifying the problems that are making you struggle every Monday and work on changing it for your own good.

Avoid keeping pending work for Monday

Mondays will definitely be stressful if you pile up your Monday with previous weeks tasks. Set your previous week in order and then come back on Monday. You will be a bit more relaxed to start fresh tasks. A pending job will always keep you drained for the whole day and will pile up unnecessary stress on your mind. Make sure you finish up all your job by Friday by proper time management, and you will make a start for the next week much better.

Do something for you

Is there anything you look forward to Monday morning? To really battle the Monday blues, you need to do something that you want to do and not what you have to do. Plan something for the Monday morning motivation, so it makes you enthusiasm for the day, so you have something to look forward to. Make sure to include things you are excited about or consider doing something you enjoy.

Kill the blues with your dress

Come out of the pajama feelings and dress for success on Monday. Wake up on a positive note and continue the positivity by wearing your favorite outfit or dress up a bit. Slip on your hottest shoes, pick the brightest outfit from your wardrobe and see how it puts a positive spin on your day. The research says, when you look good, you feel good. So, dress to impress yourself.

Positive mindset will keep you alive

When you are looking forward to achieving something, your attitude determines how you live your life. Always choose a positive attitude to improve the quality of your life. Start your week strong by waking up on Monday, with a positive thinking. And it will do a lot for your Monday motivation. Upload as much positivity in your brain as you will feel happy to be alive.

Bring that smile on

Carry an attitude of happiness with you. When you get to the office, a smile and a happy greet to co-workers and people you see around, compliment a co-worker and be the source of positivity in the workplace to bring a feeling of immense pleasure. Instead of waiting for some happy things to happen, just be the source of Monday energy and you will be followed back by the same energy.

With these tips and tricks, you’ll be jumping into work on Monday’s instead of dreading it and you will definitely notice a rising peak on your productivity. Kickstart your Monday by approaching your life positively, so that your Mondays start hating you instead of you hating the Mondays. Don’t let the blues get you down.
