"Every other day, every other day, Every other day of the week is fine, yeah. But whenever Monday comes, but whenever Monday comes. You can find me cryin' all of the time" Lyrics from the Mamas and the Papas come to my head on this Monday morning. The feeling of a Monday mornings are always mixed and conflicting.
Laying in bed, you look at your alarm clock and notice it's already 7am on a Monday morning. No longer can you enjoy that Sunday morning of calm, it's time to get up and get on with your week. You might feel sad or even nostalgic of that serene feeling you had over the weekend, but the coffee pot is always brewing and the smell of morning food fills the air. As you race from one end of your house or apartment trying to put everything in your bag, getting dress and eating your breakfast, stop yourself for a second. Are chaotic Monday mornings going to be a life habit? Are you going to let the stresses and deadlines of the week influence the first day of the week? Yes, I know it may be hard for some of you but take your Monday morning as the day to fuel your week with positive thoughts with an optimistic outlook.
Wake up and think in your head or say out loud everything you are grateful for and excited for about the week. Take affirmative action to think positively on the first day of the week. I know that the first song I listen to on mornings that I seem unwilling to enjoy is Good Day by Nappy Roots. (check it out, it will make you smile: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ikWePjoHtVQ )
Think big, show the world your brightest colors and enjoy the very essence of a Monday morning by enjoying it as much as you would a Friday looking forward to the weekend! Happy Monday to all, make this day an amazing one!
