Monday Blues

The Fear of Monday, also known as “Monday Blues” or “Monday Syndrome,” is a common syndrome that many people have experienced nowadays.

The reason for this phenomenon often comes from the fact that many people have to end a great weekend of rest and re-energization to face a new week with full of challenges and work pressures that await them ahead.

Specifically, people with this syndrome often feel anxious, stressed, bored and lose motivation when thinking or facing to Monday. Hence, they may have difficulty in communicating and interacting with others because they do not feel in a positive mood.

So how do you start working effectively for a new week and put aside the fun that lingers from the weekends? Some of the following things can help dispel the “Monday Blues”:

• Solve unfinished and important tasks before the weekend. This not only helps reduce anxiety before Monday but also reduces the backlog.
• Set goals, plan and prioritize for each of work items.
• Create a positive habit early in the morning such as exercising lightly, cooking a good breakfast or listening to some favorite songs to increase some positive feelings at the beginning of the day.
