The Dreaded Monday

Hello and Good morning Everyone! How are you all doing this Monday Morning? As i'm sure most of you are feeling down already or tossing and turning in your bed wondering when Mondays will be annihilated I decided to do this post to maybe help you through your hatred for Mondays....Oh and to also let you know that if by the miracle of whoever or whatever, Mondays where somehow to be removed from the calendar, Tuesdays would be the next hated thing to you.

You know the funny thing about the Picture above is that those that actually rise from their beds by 7:35 are the lucky ones. Yeah you heard that right, If you get to sleep till 7:00 a.m and get to work by 8:00 am or an hour later then count your behind as one of the lucky ones because there are people out here who actually have to work more hours than you do, they get up long before you and get home long after you. However we aren't here to compare who has the most time demanding job.

Personally, I believe that you have two choices to make your Mondays good and enjoyable and if you for any reason feel like there is more than 2 reasons then feel free to highlight it in the comments section but before then, read through mine.

The First Choice you have is the choice of your job: There is a saying that concerns Mondays which I believe in. It suggest that Mondays aren't the problem, your job is the problem. I mean just think about it for a minute. Most people think that it's about the pay but I have a friend who is about to quit on a job that is paying him N800,000 monthly because he is worn out. The job demands too much of his time and he hardly has time for his family talk more of himself. He is constantly worn out and it's beginning to tell on his health. Every month he is about 600k (more or less) richer after expenses and still isn't happy. At this point in his life it's not about the money, it's about the convenience. Now I know he might miss that job if he quits and doesn't find something else to do on time but this goes to show you that the dread on Monday and your job isn't just about the Money you are receiving. I believe it's more about the perfect job that suits your lifestyle. I believe if you had a career where you couldn't be bossed around, worked from home and the pay was even less than the figures I've stated above, chances are you will stick to that job for the rest of your life and look forward to every single Monday and every working hour you had to put in.  It's about the career that suits your lifestyle personally.

The Second Choice you have is the choice of choice:  Yeah! you read that right. It's the choice of choice. This is very important and works hand in hand with the first option but can also work on it's own depending on how much you believe in it. What I mean by this is that no matter what you do, you have a choice over your emotions. Life can throw all sorts of situations towards you, as a matter of fact every single day of your life, life is going to throw all sorts of things towards you. I don't know of a single human being who has gone 24 straight hours of his or her life without encountering a challenge or a problem, no matter how minute (minutiae) it might be. However if you never exercise control over your choice of emotions you will find yourself constantly complaining over every single thing that happens in your life or any small challenge you encounter.
      So how does this relate to Mondays? Well its actually very simple, you can wake up today and decide to continue frowning and nagging everyone around you of how quickly the weekend went by, or you can simply decide to put a smile on your face and make a choice not to complain. You can choose to be happy instead and forget that fact that it's Monday at all. You can choose to keep a positive attitude and see today and every other Monday from a new perspective. You can decide to see Mondays as a bad start to your week and stand the chance of ruining the rest of your weeks. You can also decide to see Mondays as a chance at a new beginning. A chance to start over and do things the right way. The choice of choosing is always yours, what you do with it is left up to you. My advice to you however is this...B+ (Be Positive) it'll take you a long way.

I hope you make the right choice today and not only start you Mondays in the right way but every other day. Make a choice today! Choose to be happy this morning and every other Monday morning. Choose not to complain, instead choose to look forward to a productive week....
