Monday Blues

What is it about Mondays? Generally, they are my worst day of the week, especially after a lovely weekend. And this morning is no different, I’m tired, have a bad headache and zero motivation. Not the greatest start to the week, and I’m sure I’m not alone in how I feel. The hardest part sometimes is to try and get over that slump feeling, pick myself back and get on with the rest of the day. I’m fully aware that some of it is down to my current feelings about my job, but having a busy weekend, doing things that I enjoy and spending it with those that make me smile only make it harder to be in a place that currently doesn’t.  So, I will do the best I can, whether that be completing small tasks or finding my own way of getting through the day by writing or working on other things. The time will pass and my motivation levels will raise slightly as small achievements are made. Okay so it may not be ethical to work on my own things when I’m being paid to work, but as long as something, anything can get me going, and I finish the day having at least being able to say I managed it, isn’t that important? It’s not every week thankfully that I feel like this, and I know there are other contributing factors, like not enough sleep for one.  I have been known to have a good Monday, promise! And to be honest, it doesn’t really matter what day it is, it just depends on my mindset when I first get to my desk or wake up. Some days are definitely better than others. But I’ve done it before, I can do it again. And so, for today, I will pick myself up and use that small spark of inspiration that has appeared from writing this all down and use it to get me to the end of the day. Tomorrow is another day after all…
