How was your weekend? Was it a happy stress free one? I hope so!
How many felt the dread waking up this Monday morning? It seems to be a common trademark of Mondays’ and that is really too bad. Monday’s don’t need to be dreaded. Okay, I am not saying you need to embrace them with all you have, but Monday’s could be considered a fresh start rather than the dreaded thought of another long work week.
Perception is everything! It is in how we perceive things, which determines a huge percentage of the outcome. If you perceive your day to be one of dread, more than likely you will get what you wished. It you start every day with an optimistic attitude, your chances of having a productive day rises. Add enthusiasm, determination, and do it all with a happy face and attitude and even the worse thing that could go wrong won’t be near as disastrous.
When we are working throughout our day and something turns foul, it is even more important for us to revamp our attitudes. Yes, you may be ticked off, and understandably so, and maybe even feel a little defeated, but now is not the time to succumb to those feelings. When in war, if you don’t fight back you lose. No, you are not pulling out the guns and ammo, killing off the enemies – you might find out the enemy is yourself! Fighting back simply means re-strategizing – regrouping – possibly delegating out some work – and putting on a positive attitude! Yes, sometimes it can be hard to pull it back together, but it is harder to continue with a shitty attitude!

You have it within you to make the necessary changes to turn any situation around if you dig deep enough within and apply the right attitude.

The only time I ever enjoyed Mondays was when I was working a 4 day week and didn't have to go in to the office. It was great being at home, knowing that everyone else was in there working away.
ReplyDeleteEinstein's definition of insanity sounds like parenthood to me. We go through the same motions every day expecting improvement from a teenager but it doesn't happen. Maybe that's not exactly what you were trying to say, but it's what I heard.
ReplyDeleteMonday is the only day I have a problem with. I'm sure it's psychological but it really doesn't matter as it hasn't changed in over 40 years.
ReplyDeleteHappy Monday is an oxymoron if I ever heard one.
ReplyDeleteI'm retired, but I still dread Monday mornings. Maybe it's latent memories of my working days.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure it's because it is the first work day after the weekend and not many people are ready to get back in the saddle quite yet. I know I never was.
ReplyDeleteI do make my days count but I still have trouble with Monday's. Maybe it's left over feeling about school and work. Now that I'm retired Monday's are really no different than any other day of the week, but, I still don't like them.
