Poor Monday has such a terrible stigma attached to it - it is the one day of the week that 99% of the human race loathes and the distaste for it has only been compounded by our constant exposure to social media, which I think has essentially brainwashed us all even further lol! As you kick off the week you are guaranteed to be slapped left, right and center by "Monday memes" that resemble the following...
Now I understand the whole "end of the weekend" scenario - yes, we would all far rather spend more than two days of the week filling our agendas with pleasurable pastimes but for me personally, I really just don't understand why you would intentionally plant a consistently negative seed in your mind on the one day of the week that generally sets the tone for all the days that follow... because whether you care to admit it or not, that is exactly what you are doing - even you don't believe you are.
Some people are fortunate to be in positions or careers which they love and so perhaps to them the Monday jokes are easily brushed off - although I am still of the opinion that it affects you subconsciously either way. But then on the other side of the coin, you have people who cannot stand their dead end jobs, or whatever it is that they do with their day time hours and so now they take a stale cupcake and top it with a rotten cherry... makes complete sense doesn't it haha!
That is about as bad as the whole "Terrible Tuesday" thing... lol! I don't want to kick off my week bombarded with bullshit negativity swamping my mind - I want to wake up on a Monday morning and feel like I can conquer the world and whatever goals I might decide to spice things up with along the way too... actually, I want this for pretty much every day of the week because it feels GOOD!
You know the age old expression... "birds of a feather flock together" - well there is a lot of truth in that and it is applicable not only with the people that you choose to consistently surround yourself with but also the information that you are regularly feeding your mind. Spend five minutes in the company of someone who is a real "go-getter" and I can promise you one thing... you will find their passion and energy contagious, and you will walk away with a slice of that. I can also assure you their Monday theme would definitely look a lot more like this...
Whilst writing this and checking out memes and gifs etc. for Mondays... I discovered a site called monday.com - clearly an intelligent marketing angle to name a company that develops organisational software for businesses "Monday.com"... it's bloody brilliant if you ask me! You get to work on a Monday morning and hit the icon which opens the app that organises, simplifies and streamlines your day (all positives) and they named it after the most dreaded day of the week.
There are so MANY alternatives to the worn out "Moody Monday" or "Monday Blues" themes that we are all so accustomed to... and we all know that one little pebble can make a million ripples... so why not give something fresh a try... Mango Monday? - Ok, not quite... but you catch my drift haha! So, the question is...
What kind of Monday are you?
