Monday morning is the most despised day of the week, universally. The word Monday is derived from Latin word Mondalious, which means either “go back to bed” or “you better hope there’s coffee.” No wonder we feel the constant urge to go back to our beloved bed.
Why do we experience Monday blues?
Monday blues are a hangover of the weekend affliction. It is the state of mind, where you are not happy with the time you spent or may be you desire an extension. People usually don’t look forward to Monday, as with onset of this day, there are five days more of work before they can enjoy any holiday. Research studies claims that many people feel sad, for they do not feel prepared to get back in routine.
The life of the students in university remains busy in classes, completing their home work, writing assignments and managing part-time jobs. That's why weekend escape from routine is an enjoyment for students.
That’s why we brought some tips to motivate yourself, on a Monday morning:
Wear something you love:
Wear those clothes, which you adore, whether they are an old pair of jeans, a lovely frock, skirt or long dress. Dress up, put on some make-up and go out. It’s your time to add some awesomeness to the world.
