If Monday Had A Face I Would Punch It

Project #motivationmonday - 5 Tips to Beat The Monday Blues:

Dreading Monday? That's okay - most people do! Mondays are full of stress as we all return to "real
life" - work, schedules, commitments. Who wants that after a weekend of fun and sleeping in? No one I know! While Monday's will ALWALYS be busy, I promise they don't ALWAYS have to suck! 

Here are a few tips ot help start your week off the right way:

5 Tips To Beat the Monday Blues:

1. Make sure to HAVE FUN:

Be sure to have fun over the weekend. Do the things that make YOU happy. Go for a long walk, see your friends, go to the beach, whatever makes your heart smile. Don't spend this time to play catch-up with work! By making sure you're doing the things that make YOU happy, the more your body and mind are able to recharge and the better the chance that attitude sticks with you at the start of your week. 

2. Pick A NIGHT:

Pick Friday or Saturday to head out and have fun! Monday mornings are hard enough themselves, let alone if you stay out all night Sunday! Be sure to call it a day early Sunday and you'll wake up Monday feeling refreshed and ready to tackle your day. 

3. Organize YOUR Life:

Take a little time over the weekend to prepare yourself for the upcoming week. I make sure to spend a little time Saturday and Sunday planning and prepping my meals and workout schedule so I'm not rushing around Monday morning. Giving me more time to breathe before throwing myself back into the crazy. 

4. Wake up on the RIGHT side of the bed:

Make sure you're getting up on the right side of the bed. Waking up in a good mood usually means you'll carry that attitude through the day. Get out of bed, turn on some of your favorite music, and have a bathroom dance party while you're getting ready. Remember, positive mind = positive life. 

5. FUEL your body: 

They say that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and that is especially true on Mondays. Without a good breakfast, how are you supposed to maintain the energy level to fight through your day? Shakeology is great when you're in a rush! Just make sure NOT to skip this meal - keep it light if needed. But make sure to have something to boost your metabolism and fight off the Monday 'tude.
