Five Ways to Ward Off the Monday Morning Blues




1.  Paint your nails a wild new color.  One that you'd never wear in a million years.  If your workplace is a bit on the conservative side, perhaps a decal on your index finger might be an option.

2.  Set your alarm to wake up to a 'heavy metal' band.  Nothing is going to get your juices flowing like heavy metal.  If you absolutely can't stand 'heavy metal,' go for hip hop.  A little Run DMC never hurt anybody.

3.  Take a tepid shower instead of a hot one.  It will wake you make you more alert.

4.  If you usually walk your pet in the morning before leaving the house, take a slightly different route.

5.  Take time to smell the flowers.  Literally.  Even if it means "borrowing" a stem or two from your neighbor.

I know, it's easy enough to say.  But I've had enough "Monday Morning Blues" to have come up with more than one clever way to trick my mind into thinking that Mondays are cool.

Have a great week!
