Mondays...most people despise them. It’s tough to get back into gear after a weekend off, and it can be daunting to begin the week, thinking of all of the upcoming obligations. How can we turn the dreaded Monday into an exciting and fresh start to a brand new week, or even a brand new life? It’s all about adopting a positive attitude and forming healthy habits. Here are some things successful people do to kick-start their weeks and beat the Monday blues.
1.) They decide it’s going to be a good day. Sometimes all it takes is positivity and determination. Making a conscious, mindful decision to be happy and excited about the day can make all the difference.
2.) They wake up early. The worst thing you can do is drag around all morning. Get up, get dressed, eat a healthy breakfast, sneak in a workout if there’s time and get ready to kick Monday’s butt!
3.) They show up early. Getting to work ahead of time to ensure that everything is organized and ready to go for optimum productivity will help things run smoothly for the remainder of the week.
4.) They spread the positivity. A positive attitude is contagious, and by simply greeting your coworkers you can spread that happiness and motivation all throughout the office. In turn, you will be able to feed off of the positivity of others!
5.) They get focused. They visualize success for the upcoming week, prioritize projects and come up with a game plan.
6.) They tackle the more challenging tasks head on. Getting the more difficult tasks over and done with early on relieves anxiety and pressure for the rest of the week.
7.) They view Mondays as a fresh start. Instead of dreading the start of the work week, successful people get psyched about the beginning of a brand new week and all of the opportunities that come with it.
Happy Monday!
