| How to Beat the Monday Morning Blues
Monday Blues...After a nice, long, relaxing weekend, away from the hectic nature of work, school and life, waking up on Monday morning can be extremely difficult. In a rush to be on time, you're tripping out of bed to make coffee, realizing that there is a parent-teacher conference in ten minutes, stumbling into work clothes, skimming through emails on your iPhone from your boss demanding that file now, while all that's really hit you is that the weekend is over and you are back to the overwhelmingness of Mondays. Didn't you just go through this a week ago? Not to worry - to make your Mondays easier here's one approach to getting you back into the swing of routines using a smoother transition. Steps:- 1. Plan to have at least some fun over the weekend amid the chores. Then check off your plan to make sure you've fulfilled it. Visit a museum, have a party with your family, or go on a trip to a place you haven't visited for a while.  Having a relaxing, do-nothing-but-lounge-around weekend (watching TV, sleeping, playing that addicting video game, etc.) can be fun, but make sure you accomplish some things you wanted to do, so that on Monday, you aren't wondering where all that time went and why you didn't really enjoy the weekend while it was in your grasp. 2. Keep yourself organized.  Keep the personal items that you'll need during the week by your side so you do not lose them. This way, on Monday morning, you're not searching frantically for your lost phone, wallet, or school/work ID. Keep your backpack for school or purse/computer bag for work ready, keeping all necessary items in it except for those things you'll need over the weekend. 3. Spread out any work, school or college chores throughout the weekend. Of course, try not to spend your entire, beloved weekend getting one homework assignment or work crisis dealt with! Rather, do a little bit each day and spend enough time on it to have made a good dent in it, so that on Monday, you're not feeling overwhelmed by it. Gradual steps taken to complete such things also helps you to do a good job because you'll get some perspective by Monday, thanks to your subconscious having had some relaxing time over the weekend to digest the information more clearly. 4. Avoid sleeping in or staying up too late during the weekend. There is nothing you may love more on the weekends than sleeping late, but it is important for your healthy sleep routine that you sleep as much as your body needs and keep any additional sleep to a reasonable amount.  Do not sleep more than two hours past your average wake up time, so that you're not a zombie on Monday; too much extra sleep on Sunday morning might keep you awake longer Sunday night, leaving you unrefreshed Monday morning. 5. Eat nutritiously throughout the weekend. Try to limit junk food snacks and visits to fast-food joints. To stay healthy, eat as many fruits and vegetables as possible, like always, with perhaps an occasional extra treat because it's the weekend.  On Monday, you'll be back to eating dinner with enough vitamins and green stuff, but it might disappoint you to have to turn away from those Doritos for the third time, now that your weekend nibbling has awoken an increased desire for them. 6. Do something special or enjoyable to draw your weekend to a close. When you're in bed Sunday night, thinking how this weekend wasn't even worth anything, and you hardly did anything fun or useful, you're going to feel blue to go back to your routine after feeling that the last two days off were pointless. Allow yourself the chance to take back a sense of a lost weekend and re-energize yourself with something that makes you feel good at the last minute. This will allow you to redeem a seemingly lost weekend and you'll be happy to recall the night before on Monday. 7. Start your Monday right. Waking up cranky or tired on a day of going back to routines is not going to help you escape the Monday morning blues. 8. Adjust to Monday's pace at your own pace. When you're adjusting to routine again on Monday, pace yourself, so that your first day back isn't as stressful. By being organized already, there is less to run around "finding". By allowing yourself to get up in time to eat leisurely, you won't feel like you're bolting out the day. And working in a little break between leaving the house and getting on with Monday's expectations, you can ease yourself slowly back into the routine 9. Look forward to the next weekend.  By now, start to plan your next weekend to have a blast with friends, or cancel any events so you can take the day off to yourself. This way, on Monday (and all week) you have something to look forward to. |
