Motivation Monday: How to use Monday to set the tone for the week

-

Monday doesn’t have to be that dreaded first day of the week. It doesn’t have to be the day that many people dread. We just have to shift our actions and our thinking so we set a better tone for the week.

These are the tips that will help you have a better start to your week.

1. Dress to impress yourself: When we dress well, we feel better about ourselves. Furthermore, how we dress can affect the quality of our work.On Mondays, plan to wear whatever clothing makes you feel confident and motivated to tackle the day head. You’ll feel unstoppable and comfortable in your own skin as you start your week. 

2. Check your calendar and plan ahead: calendars help us organize our lives and if we set up reminders, it can cue us into what’s ahead. Think about a weekly calendar as a road map for the week. What direction will it take you.

3. Practice Positivity: When we’re in a good mood, it’s easier to stay positive. The next time you’re feeling unmotivated just thinking about your week and how long it might seem, think about at least one positive aspect about your week. Some people like to keep a running list of positive thoughts so they can look at it over the course of the week when they’re feeling sluggish or tired. You’d be surprised at how noticing even the smallest positive thoughts change our thinking.

4. Laugh: What better way to start your week than with a good laugh? Find a coworker who is quick witted or sarcastic and chat for a while. Find something funny to watch or listen to online. For some inspiration, you can do a search for contagious laughter videos to jump start your Monday. As long as you find something that makes you laugh, go for it. Give yourself permission to laugh out loud.

1. Practise Saying ‘No’ Human beings are programmed to be non-confrontational. From a young age, we’re taught to follow orders or else get punished, and as adults, we’re taught the same thing. Time and again, we’re told to ‘let it go’ and ‘just go with the flow’ so we don’t upset the client or the boss. This lifelong habit of avoiding confrontation and just saying ‘yes’ weakens your negotiation skills. But not to worry; you can still reprogramme your mind by practising saying ‘no’. You can start with something small like going home on time or refusing to work extra hours, especially if you’re already raking in too much overtime.
