Saying that Monday is the best day of the week sounds a bit absurd, I admit, however, I decided to change the common belief of Monday Blues and make it a Happy Monday.
The idea wasn’t a natural one but I just sat down on Sunday evening and tried to create a plan what would make the day special (apart from the fact that Monday is a payday ;))
I came up with few ideas:
breakfast
I started with a nice breakfast. I made an omelette with avocado and cherry tomatoes and, of course, my favourite black coffee. Instead of eating it on the run (while doing make up for example) I sat down in the kitchen and enjoyed the taste.
No iPhone
Sounds scary, but yes, I did it! I didn’t look at my iPhone for the whole morning. I thought that the world will not end if I don’t check Instagram first thing in the morning, and guess what, nothing bad happened ?
To-do list
When I arrived at work I started with a nice cup of green tea and a plan what needs to be done. That way I was prepared for my duties and I was able to manage time in a more productive way.
Yoga
I know, I know, I will repeat myself here :), but I actually finished my day with a nice session of Ashtanga yoga (my favourite type of yoga). This made me relaxed and also helped my back after a whole day of sitting at the office. The full article about the benefits of yoga can be found here.
Switch off
About 30 minutes before I went to bed I switched off all my mobile devices and TV and just lied in bed in silence thinking about how my Monday was different than other Mondays that I remember.
I really have to say that only those few things that I have made differently made my day a lot better. I didn’t have the feeling that I need to rush somewhere (I always felt this way). From now on, I will use those tricks more often to have a better day. In fact, I should do them everyday ?
Do you have some tricks to make your day happier? If you do, please write it in the comments, I’d love to learn some new tricks and try them out immediately 😉
