We can assume that it’s either because it was the first payday weekend after the Janu-Worry blues and already everything has had to be paid so money is tight once again or it could be that people went a little overboard in the indulgence of the weekend and are really feeling it today. Whatever it may be, these tips are perfect for every scenario and can be used for every Monday to come.
5 Ways to beat the Monday Blues and get motivated.
- Prepare for your Monday workday on Friday.
Get all the nitty-gritty tasks completed on the Friday before knocking off for the weekend. If you can’t manage to get it done in time, spend a few extra minutes just getting some notes down about what you will need to do so it feels less overwhelming seeing the workload on Monday. Make sure your calendar is up-to-date so you are ready for any tasks and meetings before the work week starts. Preparation is key. - Be inspired by those around you.

- List all the things you are excited about for the upcoming week.
Monday may be a downer sometimes, but if you have exciting plans later in the week, write them down. Like a date night with a loved one, drinks with your friends or even that you have a night to yourself to do whatever you want. If you don’t have plans, why not make some? Set that dinner date you have been meaning to or call a friend and meet up for a catch-up. - Make Someone else smile, it’s super contagious.
Brightening someone else’s Monday with a cup of coffee or by asking how their weekend was is a really simple and easy way to boost your own feel-good vibes. Another great way to perk someone else up is to pay them a compliment, whether it be their appearance or character trait. Let them know you see them. - Turn the music up!
Whether it be in your car or through your earphones, play some upbeat and energy enriching music to perk up the mood instantly. Dance along and sing if you can. Even better, see if you can get the person in the car next to you to do the same. Might seem weird at first but the fun you can have will outweigh all the funny looks you might get.
Just like that, your next Monday will be off to a good start. Stay motivated out there and keep up with all the feel-good stories we have for you.
