Monday Blues: Small Changes to Start Your Week Right

Struggling with Monday blues? You’re not alone. Many people find the start of the week challenging, but a few simple adjustments can transform your Mondays into something to look forward to.
What Are Monday Blues?
Monday blues refer to feelings of unease or lack of motivation at the beginning of the workweek. These feelings often stem from stress, an unbalanced weekend routine, or simply the transition back to responsibilities.
Tips for Beating Monday Blues
- Create a Morning Routine: Start your day with a healthy breakfast, light exercise, and a moment of mindfulness to set a positive tone.
- Plan Ahead: Use Sunday evening to prepare for the week. Organising your schedule and setting priorities can reduce anxiety.
- Set Weekly Goals: Break your week into manageable tasks to stay focused and motivated.
- Make Time for Joy: Plan something enjoyable for Monday evening, whether it’s a favourite meal, a hobby, or a call with a loved one.
