How to soothe your mind:
- Get enough rest: It's important to completely relieve fatigue from the weekend. Sleep in late and recharge your energy with your favorite hobbies. A dip in warm water or listening to relaxing music can also help.
- Positive thinking: Try not to think too negatively about what you have to do on Monday. 'What can I accomplish this week?' It's also good to ask positive questions.
- Small rewards: Promise yourself a small reward, like coming to work on Monday and drinking your favorite coffee or eating a delicious lunch. A little fun can help you get through the day.
- Light exercise: A simple stretch or walk can energize your body and mind. You don't have to force yourself to do intense exercise, and it's important to move only as much as your body wants.
- Prepare ahead: Stocking up on Sunday evening for Monday and other things you need can help you feel less hectic and a little more relaxed in the morning.
Realistic Response:
- Divide your workload: If Monday feels more overwhelming because of your workload, consider asking a colleague or boss for help or discussing the division of work. It can be much more effective than whining alone.
- Plan your vacation: Planning your vacation in the near future can be a great motivator. You may think, 'I have to spend this week well while waiting for this vacation!'
- Listen to your heart: If you feel too reluctant to go to work on Mondays, or if you are constantly feeling helpless, you need to stop and look into your heart. Think about whether you are burned out or have other difficulties, and consider seeking professional help if necessary.
