Manic Monday...

stressful

I used to overhear the song that resonates “……Manic Monday….hhhmmm hhhmmm” I truly don’t know how the song goes, but I too habitually chant it when my atmosphere in Monday is in my busiest. I tell friends not to disrupt me because I feel bombarded with loads but mined with slightest time to undertake.  Feel scratchy and angry to folks around me and persons who creates loads for me of course.  I tried to examine why and wherever that catchy phrase came after; so I tried Goggle for statistics and notions to response the queries  inside my head, but gives me so much answers; that I don’t have the extravagance of time to read them, and links; that I don’t have that good connection to click them.  So I ended my own reasons why I’m use to using the words Manic Monday.

I apprehended that these are my reasons behindhand: the Friday or Saturday (for some) idleness, and the tendency to oversleep during Sunday.  The latter is due to overthinking things to be done and places to explore right after work or the day after such as coffee, movie, party, and travel. It is also because we tend to sprawl during Sunday that leads to sleeping late and of course rising up a little (if not too) late as well.  That is why we feel sluggish and ineffectual during Monday’s, in my case at leastJ.

Sleeping at the equivalent time during the weekdays is one of the things I ensure to eradicate manic Monday.  I don’t do catnap’s so I won’t be able to extend it long.  Other things I do include exercise, to keep me active during the day, biking is a must try; and reading, to keep my mind working, inspirational and spiritual books is always on my side.  Sunday is one of the days that we feel happy because of the “rest” word in mind.  And it is also the day when family gets together and savors lunch or dinner, swimming, shopping, and road trips.  Oh, I love Sundays. 

But when I really feel sluggish and unmotivated during Mondays, I always think of a jumpstart.  May it be feeling myself happy; thinking of happier thoughts, thinking that I have lots of money, and thinking that I am beautiful; that I wear the hippest clothes, the best bags, best shoes and a good haircut.  Having a jumpstart with good music, I may need a good volume to enjoy the music, or a good headset to enjoy it without disturbing the neighboring.

With these mechanisms, I guess I will not be able to use the words over; but then again, I am crossing my fingers to these ideas. For more often than not, I fail to accomplish what I planned.   For I also have this in mind,” work, work and work can brand us dull”, and who wants to be branded as such?  No one I guess.  Best things to do? Just bear the hassle of Monday and do the right jobs to get a job well done.
