How To Beat Monday Blues

, MONDAY! It\'s the start of the work week. Don\'t you just love waking up before the sun rises, reach for the alarm clock and hurl it at the lamborghini beats by dre wall across the room? It\'s called Monday Blues and it\'s the leading cause of broken alarm clocks and grouchy faces in the world of the working class.

So if you\'ve decided to spare the life of your alarm clock and start looking at yourself in the mirror with a smile, here are ways on how to beat Monday blues and hopefully, turn it into your favorite day of the week next to Friday.

Start early. I know you want to delay waking up early on Monday as much as possible, but delaying may cause you to rush later to avoid being late. As a result you skip breakfast, your things are disorganized and your clothes look like they\'ve just came out of the dryers. When you arrive at the office, you\'re already stressed, you feel weak, you\'re disorganized, and you look like you just got tackled by an entire football team. So start early and give yourself enough time to prepare for the day ahead.

Turn it into a positive experience. When you start early in the morning you\'re also giving yourself enough time to accumulate positive experiences before you leave the house. Give your wife or husband a morning hug or kiss. Greet your kids a good morning. Give your pet a treat. Breathe the fresh morning air. EXERCISE! Enjoy the aroma of your freshly made coffee. Eat a hearty breakfast. In other words, wake up like a boss. It\'s your house. I don\'t see any reason why you shouldn\'t enjoy waking up in the morning in your own home.

Wear your best. Make Monday your look-my-best day. If Monday doesn\'t look good doesn\'t mean that you should look like one as well. Look sharp. If you think you can\'t prepare your attire in the morning, have it ready the night before. Reserve that new suit or dress for Monday. Accentuate with bright or bold colors. For men, try Lamborghini yellow for your tie. For women, color your nails with Ferrari red. Those colors can chase the blues away.

SMILE! The world is probably at its worst already, so please don\'t add up to it by showing that ugly frown. SMILE! Don\'t smirk. Smile when you wake up. Smile when you take a shower. Smile when you order that coffee. Smile when you take the cab. Smile at your co-workers in the elevator. Smile when you see your boss. Never underestimate the power of smile. A GENUINE smile exudes a great deal of positive energy that everyone needs on a dreadful Monday. If you always give out positive energy, people will notice and they will look up to you. \"Smile and the whole world smiles with you.\"

Listen to music. Make a Monday soundtrack of the tunes that you enjoy. Compile happy and energetic songs that you can play in the car and sing along to while driving. If you\'re allowed to, listen to these songs while you\'re working. If not, listen to it while taking a break. Keep yourself pumped up by listening to good music.

MOVE! Don\'t sit in front of your desk the whole day. Walk around or do light exercises. There was a time my boss caught me doing breathing exercises to relax. He came up and asked me to teach him how to do it. That was an awesome moment for me. Sometimes when I\'m starting to feel dull, I take the stairs up to the next floor and have a chat with a co-worker. You can also do the same.

Start an office tradition. One of the things my co-workers and I came up with to make Monday less dreadful is to start an office tradition called \"Pizza Monday\". We chip in and treat ourselves to some pizza every Monday. We noticed that after two Mondays, other departments started doing it as well. It\'s funny, cool and gave lamborghini beats by dre us something to look forward to every Monday.

Give yourself a reward. After a long day at the office you can reward yourself with a bottle of cold beer, a glass of wine or a piece of chocolate when you get home. You can also do some online shopping and lamborghini beats by dre buy yourself something nice without burning a hole in your pocket. But remember not to overdo these things.

There are many ways on how to beat Monday blues. Those mentioned above can be adjusted depending on your lifestyle. Use your creativity. Find out other ways to turn Monday blues into Monday excitement. More importantly, have fun while doing it. Master Mondays and you\'ll master the rest of the week.
HAPPY MONDAY!!!
