If you're currently having a case of the Mondays, because it's Monday, then you've come to the right place. Sure, it's early afternoon, and you’re probably ready to give up and go back to bed. But before you do, here are 11 things to make you feel a bit better about your least favorite day of the week.
1. New week = new goals!
A fresh start can bring motivation to start a new workout plan or maybe try that no-carb diet everybody’s been raving about. Even if you go from paleo for breakfast to SpaghettiO for dinner, you def lost at least a few ounces… Worth it!
2. Coffee!
COFFEE IS SO DELICIOUS AND EXCITING AND NOT ONLY HELPS YOU JUMP START YOUR DAY BUT ALSO STARTS YOUR WEEK WITH ENERGY WHICH CAN SOMETIMES MAKE YOU TYPE IN ALL CAPS BECAUSE YOU CAN’T CONTROL THE VOLUME OF YOUR KEYBOARD.
3. Debriefing on the weekend.
There’s a lot of catching up to do when you haven’t seen each other for two whole days. Get at me, gossip.
4. Looking cute AF.
Nothing feels better than starting the week as #onfleek as your eyebrows undoubtedly are. And even if you have a bad day, at least you can get a good selfie out of it.
But if you try all of those things and still feel like it’s the worst day of your entire life…
5. Don’t forget that you’re not alone.
We’re all in this together.
6. You’re not the only one who wanted nothing more than five extra minutes of sleep.
Hits Snooze
Falls back asleep and dreams that Monday is over
Wakes up
Repeats
7. Or the only one who just couldn’t get your hair right this morning.
KEEP CALM AND...don’t look in the mirror again or you’ll probably do something you’ll regret like cut weird bangs or shave the side of your head or something.
8. You’re not the only one that’s never made it to a class or meeting on time.
Your car can only break down so many times…
9. And everybody has an inbox full of assignments, invites, and “Lucky Winner!” emails that they don’t want to read.
“TO CLAIM YOUR PRIZE, PLEASE PROVIDE US WITH YOUR NAME, SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER, IPHONE PASSCODE AND NETFLIX LOGIN!” Hard pass.
10. By Monday afternoon, literally everyone is realizing that there’s no such thing as a perfect day.
A for effort, though!
11. And WE ALL WANT FRIDAY TO HURRY UP AND GET HERE!
(More like Fri-bae.)
But until then, put on your Monday face and don’t forget to remind everybody else you see what an exciting day Monday actually is! Right?!
