Love Mondays? Is that possible? Aren’t we supposed to dread Mondays? I say “Why should we?”

Here’s what you can do to make Mondays a whole lot less of a dread and a whole lot more cheerful.

I Love Mondays!!!

• During the weekend, make sure you have enough gas in your car so you don’t have to rush out the door and start your week at the crowded gas station.
• If you make lunch for yourself for work or for your kids for school, do so on Sunday night. There’ll be less chaos in the morning.
• Do some yoga or meditation (or both!) on Sunday night for a better night sleep and less anxiety.
• Go to bed a little bit earlier on Sunday night and jot down what you need to do the next morning so you don’t stay awake worrying about it. Don’t spend a lot of time on it though.
• Read a great, non-business book before bed to relax.
• Don’t eat a heavy, late dinner and don’t drink caffeine in the evening or before bed.
• Teach your kids to put their homework in their backpacks and take out their clothes for school the night before. If they need to wear uniforms, you are lucky, because it makes life a lot easier!
• Get up early enough, and get your kids up early enough, so you don’t have to rush.
• Check the family calendar to see what is going on for the rest of the week. You don’t want any surprises!
• Look forward to the week ahead and all that you plan to accomplish.
• Do something special for yourself on Mondays. Take a walk, stop for a favorite coffee, take some time to read something you love. Listen to a great CD or your favorite radio station.
• Try to keep ater school and after work activities on Mondays at a minimum. We just don’t need to add chaos to our lives.
• If you do have a bad day, plan something fun for the next weekend. There’s always tomorrow!

Celebrate every day whether Friday or Monday!
