I know what you’re
thinking; Mondays are the worst. Mondays are the oatmeal raisin cookies that
you thought were chocolate chip. Mondays are an emotional toe stub. Mondays are
the obnoxious Facebook requests that fill up your notifications. Mondays are
everything that butterflies, rainbows and happiness are not. I don’t
disagree, but here are some techniques and concepts that are capable of turning
a commonly hated day, into an awesome (or very unique) one.
1. Say “Yes” to
everything, Jim Carrey (Yes Man) style, and see where
you end up today. Supposedly the universe rewards you for saying “Yes,” so give
it a go.
2. Go to a room by
yourself, and dance to “Flashlight” by Parliament. I guarantee you’ll feel
amazing afterward.
3. Order something off of the internet. Clothing, electronic
device, edibles — it doesn’t matter what; it just provides you with something
to look forward to in the mail, other than bills.
4. Splurge and have that
delicious, overpriced liquid crack from Starbucks.
5. Work diligently so
you won’t feel guilty about calling in sick on some other day this week.
6. Eat whatever the hell
you want, regardless of its suggested serving size on the health pyramid.
7. If your room is
a mess, don’t indulge your mild hoarding condition. Pick things up, lose the
clutter and see how much happier you are after.
8. Download a large
amount of new music.
Fill your iPod and burn CDs, for your listening pleasure.
9. Make a conscious
effort to smile. It’s a scientific fact that it can improve your mood.
10. Avoid negativity
like it’s the plague. We all have a pessimistic friend or co-worker that we see
daily. When their Debbie Downer side comes out, you walk away… or at least plug
your ears and say, “LALALA” really loud, so you don’t have to hear it.
11. Acquire some
cookies, and say “Nom, Nom, Nom” as you eat them. Seriously, somehow it makes
them taste better. Even if they’re unexpectedly oatmeal raisin.
12. Take a few moments
to count your blessings. Yes, the beginning of a workweek can feel tedious —
but if you have a job be grateful. If you don’t, just appreciate what you do
have, like the fact that you woke up today!
13. Give your parents a
call. In all likelihood, they’d love to hear from you.
14. Compliment or
express your praise for a person you appreciate. As Kanye West said, “If you
admire somebody you should go ahead and tell ‘em, people never get the flowers
while they can still smell ‘em.”
15. Think of positive
things at bedtime. No bills, no work, no stress. Only ponder on happy thoughts.
There’s nothing worse than anxiety occupying your mind, right as you’re trying
to go to sleep. Hakuna matata.
I HOPE YOU'LL ENJOY THIS.
