Mondays can often be a difficult day for people. For many, it indicates the beginning of a long work week. If you’re not exactly thrilled with your job, this can be tough! Mondays also seem to be a day where we need to return to tasks at hand: paying bills, returning phonecalls and emails, fixing, repairing, cleaning, etc.

Interestingly, Monday is often not the day for full work submersion. It’s often the day to ease yourself into your week, not plunge. This means taking some time to do some relaxing or creative work and mix in some of that business. It may be the time to simply look at the week ahead and see what needs done. Maybe take care of a task or two. Then add a little fun and relaxation into the mix. Go for a long walk and listen to some music, paint a picture, chat with an old friend, sing a song, take a bath, write in a journal.

We’re all trained to believe that Monday is our “business” day when our minds and souls don’t always reflect that old schol ethic. Maybe its a day to tap into how you really feel and leave the limiting social constraints behind.

Monday could be easy like Sunday morning, if we let it.
