Monday Blows

Even now that I am starting to feel better, and have more energy, happiness and productivity - I still struggle with Mondays.

I have tried to schedule things to do, but when I wake up, I find ways to avoid and cancel them. Most other days of the week, I find ways to get myself up and go.

I really have to work on my Monday coping skills!

Today has been crap for me too. Got loads to do & instead stayed in my PJ's & slept or watched telly all day. Feel really lazy & useless now.

i think that there is scientific studies that say that Mondays are the day of the week when rain (precipitation) is most likely to fall. Rainy Days and Mondays always get me down...i think that was sung in a song back in the 70's...

Me too. I have to work on my Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday ones as well. Sunday seems to be my day though. Too bad it's so short.

I think we have all been programed or brainwashed to hate Mondays. Lets make it the best day of the week!

We could make little "we love Monday" badges

we are truly programed from age 5 when we start school and that structure of the WEEK is drilled into our heads.
For me, Monday is standing at the bottom of a giant mountain - i know that i can climb that mountain, and probably will enjoy that climb, and it will be quicker than I thought - but taking that first step, looking up to the top, is often daunting and overwhelming

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
