Fun Monday!
Hellooo lovely readers of the Goddess Blog and welcome to another Monday and another post by your one and only Goddess, a bit late post in the day I know - but bare with me guys as the Goddess has been busy working on her Christmas giftlist for her special people in her life! Never fear though as the post for today is finally here and for today I will be sharing several fun ideas about how you guys can improve your Mondays! As always guys, be sure to tune in with some lovely cup of coffee if you enjoy the read! :)
1. Wake Up Early
These suggestions might, at first, sound contradictory, but getting a better nights sleep prior to the start of the week can help you feel better, more energized or more alert. Likewise, getting up earlier and easing into your day with time to spare, and no need to rush, could help to lessen feelings of stress. as a bonus, both getting more sleep and waking up early could help clear your mind of fog and give you more time to get your thoughts in order before hitting the grind.
2. Plan Ahead
Loads of unfinished tasks, or lengthy to-do lists waiting for us on Monday morning can make the start of the week extra stressful, and make it challenging to jump back in where we left off. To combat anxiety or stress, don’t procrastinate. clear your schedule where you can before the weekend. Don’t let that black cloud hang over your Monday. Before you leave work on Friday, make sure your calendar is up to date and organized so you can be better prepared for the week ahead.
3. Treat Yourself
When the weekend fun or relaxation is over, there’s nothing to look forward to at the start of the week. Many people treat this as a fact, but, there’s no unwritten rule book that says it has to be this way, you can flip the script! Come up with a fun tradition or small treat to kick off each week. This will give you something unique to look forward to.
4. Appearance
You’ve probably heard that dressing for the role will help you perform better and inspire confidence. It’s been said that when you look good, you feel good! There may or may not be scientific studies behind this concept, but you’ve likely seen it have an effect on someone else, or maybe even experienced it yourself.
5. Post Work Fun
Most people hate Mondays because they equate it with being the farthest day away from fun. That’s only true if you allow it to be true. Have special a post-work plan for one day a week or make plans to meet a friend for an evening once a week. Mix up your schedule by doing something fun during the week that you’d usually reserve for the weekend. Wouldn’t it be great to gear up for a new week with some quality time, or a pep talk with a friend. it’s nice to have something fun and exciting to look forward to outside of our work week or our normal weekday routines.
6. Make Monday Better For Someone Else
Random acts of kindness have been proven to make you feel better and lift your spirits. There’s little debate, as there is positive psychology research to back it up! Even better, it’s surprisingly easy to do! Offer a compliment, an unexpected message of praise, a gift, or a kind gesture. Make a vow to do something nice for someone else or make someone else happy on Monday morning. It could be on the way to work, once you arrive, or while you’re out and about. It will make you feel good, it will make them feel good. It’s a win-win!
7. Smile!
Smile. This is something we should all try and do more often, no matter where we are. Remind yourself of opportunities to show someone that you’re in a good mood and that things aren’t so bad. Get the positive juices flowing. Flash them a smile and let them know that it’s nice to see them up and at it, attacking their day, just like you are!
If all else fails, then fake it until you make it.
That is it for this Monday’s post guys! Hope you enjoyed the read!
Goddess loves you all, will be back tomorrow,
xxxxx
