How to beat Monday Blues

What is a Monday Blue? I don’t think this needs any answer. Everyone encounters it and that too very frequently, every week :-). Going to office on a Monday after a weekend is the same feeling that a kid gets when he has to leave the cosy lap of his mother and walk on his own. I have been one person whose Monday blues are so deep that it sometimes turns black. Well we cannot avoid Mondays but based on my experience, I have listed below some ways to lessen it.

· Don’t leave any work pending on Friday. Any unfinished work will haunt you over the weekend and will hover around your mind all Monday morning increasing your blues.

· Leave your desk neat and clean on Friday. A sight of a messed up workplace is definitely going to worsen your Monday pain.

· Well this may not be possible all the time but if you have something new to wear on Mondays the blues reduce drastically.

· For all booze lovers (this one is not based on my experience) try not to drink on Sunday night. The hangover is going to make your Mondays blues bad if not worse.

· If you are a food lover, carry your favourite dish in lunch or plan a lunch outing in advance.

· Sleep on time on Sunday night. Don’t party late.

· Wake up little early on Monday morning. Talk to one person you really want to talk to. Take a long luxurious shower; pamper yourself with a nice aroma.

· This may sound weird but I have really seen it working. If you have your love interest at your work place you really look forward to Mondays, Tuesdays, in fact all days of the week.

These are just little guides to fight the Monday monster. I have tried implementing some and they have worked a bit but I am still not completely over this syndrome. Do try these and let me know if they worked for you. Till then enjoy the blues :-).
