Ways To Beat Monday Blues

MONDAY BLUES!

As usual! I noticed how my Monday mornings are usually the least productive. It always feels like I have so many online stuff to do but as soon as I sit in front of my computer, my mind goes blank. This has been going on for months now. Mondays are my lost days.

Just today.. it’s already past lunch and I still haven’t started a thing. I spent the whole morning looking for bedding.. I have a hangover from yesterday’s window shopping at Megamall. Having your own house is hard pala. It’s very challenging, specially when you start to shop for home essentials. Nakakabaliw the choices. And while browsing for bed essentials, my brain started to function. I think of articles I can write that’s home related. I started to list some topics only to realize that it’s not on my to do list for this week.

Ayayay! I always deviate from my to do list! Kahit sampung to do list ang gawin ko, pagdating ng lunes, nabubura lahat!

Anyone, experiencing the same? Got any Monday Blues Beater? SHARE YOUR SECRET!

I found one from Forbes: 11 Ways to Beat the Monday Blues

Out of the 11 ways listed on the article, I’ll be aplpying 5 to beat my Monday Blues:

Make a list of the things you’re excited about

EXCITED. One word that makes my Monday more stressful. I always wake up feeling excited, there’s this overwhelming feeling and too much adrenaline every Monday. The problem with me, I am having a hard time pin pointing where to put that much energy. I end up doing so many things and not finishing a thing. Or sometimes, I put the excitement on the wrong place aka Pinterest and Facebook, so I end up being unproductive.

I think, I can solve this problem by listing the things that I need to do and should be excited about be before Monday comes. Like a pending blog post or a post event write up. I should divide my excitement and make sure that things that needs to be done ASAP are given more excitement dust.

Get enough sleep and wake up early.

I always sleep early on Sunday nights but I always forgot to wake up early on Monday mornings. I better psyche myself into waking up an hour early during Mondays.

Dress for success.

I am still working on the dress up part.. the summer weather is killing me! BUT!! I discovered last week that I work best when I’m wearing make up..not to mention, my selfies with my Zenfone2 is a real confidence booster! Lalo ako gumaganda with Zenfone2’s camera (hindi pa beautification mode iyon ha!)

ALSO! I discovered that I write well when I have curly hair! LOL

Make someone else happy.

I’m usually out of reach during weekends. Weekends are for my husband and our travels. You won’t see me online that much, aside from Instagram where I upload our travel photos. Monday is like my “catching up with friends” time.. sometimes, I spend half the day chatting with my friends! I can’t live without that.. so I will try to limit it by including it on my calendar. Maybe after a blog post or two, I can catch up with my friends for an hour or two.

Be positive.

I used to have a Thankful post series on this blog. I post it every Friday, much like a closing remark for a week well done.. but reading the article on Forbes, made me realized, a gratitude post will be better on Mondays. It will serve as an inspiration and fuel to keep me going and finish my to do list.

Sooo to start this week right, here are some of the things that I am thankful for:

Boys who love Sati as much as I do

Now I am ready to face my Monday deadlines!

One Day Without Shoes

With all the “without shoes” photos I posted on Instagram, one would think I love walking barefooted.

Truth of the matter is, I do not like walking barefooted. Even when I sleep, I wear socks. In fact, I have a dozen gray socks on my closet. I wear socks almost 20 hours a day.. I really do not like when my feet are exposed.

I joined the #withoutshoes campaign because I believe the cause TOMS are trying to promote.

“ONE DAY WITHOUT SHOES” is an annual global event that aims to spread awareness on the impact a pair of shoes can have on a child’s life.

And that’s also the reason why, even though I do not like being barefooted, I joined TOMS One Day Without Shoes event and walked without shoes around BGC.

Bloggers join hand in hand (or feet in feet) to promote TOMS “One Without Shoes” campaign.

My walking buddy, Mommy Glaiza of Moomy Musings.

It was a fun event and a very meaningful one. An eye opener for most, we walked around 6 PM and the pavement was still hot, imagine the life of kids walking barefooted all day long. I hope TOMS were able to reach their 1 Million goal shoes for this year.

Next year, I want you to walk with me #withoutshoes! See you!
