not feelin it monday

1/20 Edited to

... Read moreMondays can often feel daunting, especially when motivation seems to be lacking. I've experienced many Mondays where getting started feels like climbing a steep hill. What really helps me is setting small achievable goals early in the day. For example, tackling one simple task first thing gives me a sense of accomplishment that fuels the rest of my day. Another technique is to break the day into manageable chunks with breaks in between, which prevents burnout and keeps energy levels steady. I also find that a quick change of scenery, like stepping outside for fresh air or a short walk, can refresh the mind. If feeling sluggish at specific times like the afternoon, a short power nap or mindful breathing exercises can help reset focus. Additionally, planning something enjoyable for the evening gives motivation to push through the day. Incorporating these tips has transformed my Mondays from stressful to productive. Remember, it’s normal to have off days, but small adjustments to daily routines can make a significant difference. Don’t be too hard on yourself and use these strategies to create a more positive start to your week.

I used to cry on Monday mornings
I used to cry in my car on the way to work on Monday mornings. I wasn’t lazy. I wasn’t ungrateful. I was exhausted. I was working a corporate job I hated, stressing over money, and wondering how I was supposed to survive another 20+ years doing the same thing while bills kept climbing.
