Monday morning, probably the worst day of the week! No one likes going back to work Monday morning. On Sunday, everyone is dreading having to start the work week over again. One reason Mondays are so dreaded is because they are the furthest day away from the weekend. Even though Monday is so hated, if you start the day off right, there is no way you can have a bad day. Make sure you get enough sleep the night before so you are not tired the next morning. That means going to bed a decent hour. Most people need between 6-8 hours of sleep, so make sure that you choose a time that gives you the rest you need. When you wake up, do some light exercise, go for a jog, take your dogs for a walk, etc. Exercise gets the blood pumping through the body, increases your metabolism and helps the body and mind wake up. Make sure you eat a healthy breakfast to again start your metabolism, replenish your energy and repair your muscles. Remember to replenish your water intake as well. Follow this routine and I guarantee you won't dread your mornings any more. Have a great week!
