Does the Monday morning
embark your workweek with feelings of anxiety, sadness, or un-easiness? Do you
lack passion and feel dullness all around you? Does it makes you tired and
therefore drags you to work with post-weekend trauma on mind?
If you’re nodding affirmatively, you might have a case
of the Monday Blues- set of negative emotions at work
that many people usually get at the beginning of the workweek if they’re not
happy. It contains elements of hopelessness and a sense to work which is
unpleasant but also unavoidable. A person usually faces the blues maybe because of the anticipation of
what’s in store for them after a perfect weekend. That is the fear of
uncertainty that makes them afraid.
In the recent times, it became a cultural phenomenon
prevailing around the world. At a place where the weekends are considered to be
blessing, there this Monday is cursed away heartlessly. At this moment, you
might find yourself reminding or humming the song ‘Khoon Choos Le” from
the unusual Zombie comedy. It was exceptional the way song talked about our
gloomy feeling of bloody khooni Monday. In the weekend, after working for straight 5
days, everybody loves to chill with friends or have a gala family time taking a break that becomes
necessity for all. Today routine has engrossed us so much that it feels much
like shackles, so as the weekend arrives; everyone go gaga over it with the
fancy plans. Unfortunately, they end very soon; the next day being a nightmare
-Monday.
Universally, people hate Mondays in the same amount as
they love Fridays. They have the Monday fear, some even suffering from its
phobia- Lunaediesophobia. Though there is no scientific reason to this, Monday
blues is basically an illusion. If you love your work, Monday is just another
day where you have to be excited and active instead of feeling low and
depressed. It may not always be a matter to just laugh it away and ignore. The
frequent blue occurrence points out to a bigger problem in your life where you
may have to reconsider about your work and finding out your passion for the
things that you love to do.
Monday is not so bad after all. It’s just another day
of your life for which you have to feel positive. After all the Day isn’t
powerful enough to terrorize or torture you, it is you yourself who play the
blame game and brush aside your disinterest and inactiveness for an illogical
reason. Weekends are beautiful, always cherish them and so are the weekdays
(including Monday). A saying by career coach-Rita Friedman goes like,
“Take Sunday to rest, review and reward, but plan for and get ready to leap into Monday.”
