Beating the Monday Blues

Feeling anxious about starting the work week is more common than you think. Monday blues has become a phenomenon, just like the Tuesday blahs, and the Wednesday itch. Sheila Viesca, TalkShop CEO, points out, “One’s emotional state can impact his performance. Feeling distressed about going to work can make one feel indifferent and less engaged, dampening the mood for others in the workplace. When such situations happen often, these steps can help one get in the proper frame of mind:

1. Find out why. Knowing the triggers can help you snap out of it.

2. Wrap up unfinished business by Friday to leave Mondays open.

3. Enjoy the weekend to feel recharged.

4. Look your best on Mondays. This will help you start the week with confidence.

5. Think positive. Dump the complaints and dwell on what is good about your job.

6. Let the light in. Sunshine and a nice view does wonders in lifting one’s mood.

7. Do something special after work to reward yourself at the end of a day.

Viesca adds, “Reframing your thoughts can make all the difference in your outlook. Make it a constant practice to stay on top of your game.”
