Ugh Monday Again..

Hey, I'm the type of person who believes that.. our days are how we make them.  However, Its something we cannot get away from. It’s a given thing that every single Monday, Facebook is filled with people complaining about the fact that it’s Monday. Really? What’s so bad about it? Sure you’re not at home doing nothing, but when you think about it, you’re just somewhere else doing nothing or something, maybe your working...who knows!!!

The average person’s work week I am sure has the least amount of work done on a Monday (unless were not productive and we leave Friday's work until Monday). This is probably due to the amount of time people spend telling the world how much they hate the fact that it’s Monday, and agreeing with EVERY other person on the internet who thinks the same way! I work @ a job where anything can happen.. some days being busy, some not so much. But if its a quiet day on the ambulance I will say.."its because its a Monday" and if its busy.. again I will say "its because its a Monday". So... really... I think its Me.. and I am treating Monday "unfairly".

Then there is the weekend...After two whole days of having nothing in particular to do, but no-doubt filling it with things to do and then complaining about how much you had to do; it’s entirely understandable that returning to work after being bored with such prolonged periods with nothing to do can be a horrible experience, so you have my sympathy there(NOT). However, do you really have to tell everyone? Every week? Really? These types of things don't apply to me, I work nearly every weekend... so My response when Monday comes is.... YEAHHHHHH!!!!!

The average person’s Monday doesn’t consist of work that’s accumulated over the weekend, because all those other average people were doing absolutely nothing over the weekend too! No, the average person’s Monday consists of all the leftover work from Friday. For many personalities, Monday is the most difficult day of the week.  It’s different than the other six days.  It feels different, response is different, and the audience is just…different.  Why is it different (that is a question I am sure that we have asked ourselves forever).

Maybe People are just different on Mondays.  They’ve just spent two days in a different “routine”. They’ve been in weekend mode, and now it’s time to crank it up again.  People move a little slower.  Whatever is in our body that normally cause them to respond well don’t produce the same result on Monday morning. Whether we are adults or children, teenagers or elderly we will all complain about the same things.

I am obviously not the only one who thinks this way... Think of the song "Manic Monday". 

My Advice to you is to prepare psychologically.  If you program yourself to start the weeks full of enthusiasm, with an attitude of new opportunities, your Monday will follow the same.   Happy Monday Everyone!
