I read in my twitter stream, groans about Monday.  I replied to some that maybe they needed to start it again.  And that there was always Tuesday.

Got me thinking while I was in the shower though (aren’t showers great for thinking and ideas) that Monday is a state of mind.  Yes, it’s the day that many of us return to jobs after a weekend with family, and a taste what life could be like if we didn’t have to work, but we do, (whatever that is for you, don’t get me started on what work is) so let’s move on.

Depending where you’re at on the work front, Monday is either joyous or arduous, and it often depends on the workload at hand, and this outlook can fluctuate.  Today for instance, I’m looking forward to getting all the travel arrangements finalised for everyone, because its been doing my head in, I want it off my desk and today is the day.

Other times, I detest Mondays. I look at my sleeping babies and just want to stay here and protect them from the world, but I know deep down, that my working is doing that, but in another way.

Monday is the day we put off to starting our diet, our exercise regimes, our study goals.  Business calls are made on Monday.  ”I’ll follow that up on Monday”.  Lots of people take Monday off because they just can’t face it, making Tuesday their new Monday and the problems are still there.

So Monday is a state of mind.  Change the state of mind, and Monday becomes another day.  Another day to achieve something of value, something great even.  Things that you put off are things that you don’t want to do.  Question why it is you’re doing it, and if you find you really want to, you won’t wait until Monday, you’ll just get started.  Get the state of mind right, and everything else follows.

Carry on.
