How to love your Mondays
I used to spend the second half of Sunday dreading Monday morning.1.But now I am definitely in the “I Love Mondays” camp. Here’s what I’ve found that works:
Start Monday morning with your Sunday night routine. When you get ready to exercise, you warm up first.2. Get everything you need for the morning ready to go. Then consider a special “Sunday Night Only” winding down ritual (固定方式).It might be tea and a favorite TV show, or a long hot bath. Whatever it is, enjoy this Monday morning warm-up, and consider turning in a little earlier than you’re used to.
3.Turning in a little early Sunday night can help with getting up a little early Monday morning. When you have a little extra time in the morning, you can gently settle into the day and keep that weekend feeling of ease as you start your new week.
Find a theme for the week. Every Monday, I post an inspiring quote or saying on the wall. These are intentional! Each week, as part of my Sunday night winding down time, I consider what I’d like to focus on in the coming week, and look for a quote that’s a good fit to reinforce (加强) it.4.
Look at the week’s tasks as opportunities instead of problems. What are you excited about for the new week?5.What’s been hanging over your head undone from last week? Take a look at the week ahead and highlight a few things that you can reasonably accomplish.
When you are intentionally creating a life you love, Mondays begin to feel like a beautiful new start!
A.Get up early enough to start slowly.
B.What a waste of a perfectly good evening!
C.What problem-solving opportunities do you have?
D.Consider Sunday nights your warm-up for Monday.
E.Have them in clean, working order and a convenient location.
F.It can be a word or whatever inspires you for the week ahead.
G.The work is the same either way, but our attitudes are within our control.
