It’s the start of another work week and there are some who are probably complaining about how short the weekend was. You know, so many things we wanna do but only 2 days to do them all in. The alarm clock was probably snoozed a few times and you may be running a little behind schedule. Its ok, chock it up to the Monday Morning Blues.
You don’t necessarily need an extra jolt of caffeine but you need a change in your perspective on the day. Don’t give in to the impulse to grip and complain. Instead find something that may bring you a little satisfaction and fun on Mondays. Make an appointment with yourself to give yourself something to look forward to.
If you normally eat lunch at your desk, switch it up – eat with a co-worker. Do something you wouldn’t normally do at lunch time – but make it work safe. As you consider what you may want to do today, here’s a few quotes to put a boost in your day.
