Manic Mondays

JUST ANOTHER MANIC MONDAY
Here are five tips to help you maintain your sanity on everyone's
least-favorite day
#1.) SLEEP IN. This sounds like a recipe for disaster, but hear me out.
You have to get enough sleep on Sunday night. So, even if it's just 15
more minutes on Monday morning, extra sleep will keep you happier and more
alert.
#2.) HOP OUT OF BED. When it IS time to get up, lying there and dreading
the start of your day will just make things worse. Getting out of bed on
Monday is half the battle
#3.) END YOUR SHOWER WITH COLD WATER. The extra jolt at the end of your
relaxing shower will make you more alert and ready to face the day.
#4.) LET THE SUN IN. Whether it's during a morning walk or just by
opening the blinds, exposing your body to bright sunlight will convince
your body to wake up.
#5.) PREPARE AHEAD AT WORK. Being greeted by a clean desk and a to-do
list on Monday can ease you into the work week. Do what you can on Friday
afternoon to make your Monday easier
