Do you HATE Mondays?

Mondays SUCK but only if you think they Suck.

I bet every Sunday for a very long time you have said "I hate Mondays" and guess what youre gonna hate Mondays. The words we think and say are like programme codes for a computer. Whatever you programme the computer to do is how it will function and we are just the same.

SO.

If you tell yourself you hate Mondays you are going to hate Mondays. You will wake up dreading the day. You wont feel positive and energised, you wont be has happy and friendly as you could be. You will probably drink more coffee to put a spring in your step, you will no doubt spend much of the day complaining about the fact that it's Monday and the weekend was over far too quickly (even though you probably did nothing at the weekend), you will resent being at work and all of this makes you feel lousy, not to mention that it makes the person you are complaining to feel worse about their Monday than they already did. In reality Monday is no different to Tuesday except for how you think of it.

Flip the Script. Find a way to enjoy Mondays, Start telling yourself that Mondays are great because.................. (fill in the blanks). I know some of you are protesting already saying "I cant think of anything". But for many people, especially those that hate Mondays with a passion it's not the day itself it's the fact you have gone back to work, right. So here's what you do. Whether you like your job or not and whether you think you earn enough money or not, keep a list of all the ways in which working benefits your life. For e.g. You probably have some friends at work that you would miss if you didn't see them. It gets you out of the house, sometimes a change in environment is great. Working boosts your self-esteem. You get PAID. This means you can feed yourself and your family (if you have one), you can pay the rent. You run a car. You save a little bit every month for a Holiday etc.

Think about all of the things that working pays for, and think how much harder your life would be without a pay cheque. Now When you feel those Monday blues you can say "I am grateful for Mondays because (fill in the blanks) and pretty soon your whole outlook will change and Mondays will become the new Fridays. Ok maybe not, but you wont hate them as much I promise.
