Happy Monday, Why not?

Good evening!

On today's post I wanted to talk about a day most people hate: Mondays. Today it is that day of the week that we all can't wait to be over with.

I know the struggle of pulling yourself out of bed on a Monday after sleeping in during the weekend. Of course there is no way of avoiding Mondays and having to go through them, so why not make the most out of it and make this day as good as possible? I'm not saying I'm the most happy and positive person on Mondays but I have recently been trying to see this day in a different perspective that will make me feel better. So here are a few tips and tricks for making your Monday the best it can be:

1. Feel good about yourself: Now this tip may seem silly, but your mood is in many cases affected by how you feel about yourself. My advice is to pick an outfit that is going to boost your confidence and make you feel like you have enough energy to get through the day. The same applies to make-up and hair. On Mondays I'm the first person that doesn't want to get all dressed up and I just want to wear casual and comfy clothes. You can deffinetly do that if it makes you feel better! It all depends on the person and the kind of mood you are in (for casual clothes or more dressed up). 

2. Reward yourself: On Mondays we all have a hard time in getting our work done, whether it's school work or the work you have to do at your job. Unfortunately, we can't get rid of the work we have to do, but what we can do is make it a little easier by rewarding ourselves for doing it! Let's say you have to study for a test, so what you can do is study half and then reward yourself with half an hour of rest doing what you want such as watching TV, going on your computer... Once you get back to work you will feel more rested and ready to keep going!

3. Pamper yourself: Remember to always find time foryourself. After a long day of working hard and missing the weekend, what better option than to treat yourself to a nice hot bath or shower? No matter what day of the week it is you should always try to find some 'you time' to relax or do something you love, this will cheer you up and make you forget a little bit about the week ahead of you. So go on: run a bath, maybe throw in a bath bomb, apply a face mask, light some candles... Do whatever you need to make you relax and disconnect. 

4.  Look formard to the next weekend: I know it's just monday but planning out your weekend and looking forward to it is what makes those 5 days fly by, and before you know it, it will be Friday again! Finding fun things to do in the weekend can really make you happy rather than waiting 'till Friday to think of something

If you think about it, being negative and sad on a Monday is only going to make it worse and longer... So why not cheer it up a little? I hope this was helpfull! Have a great week!
