This is the ongoing series that talks about reducing the chances of Monday blues so we can advance in our careers! In personal finance, we focus way too much on saving and investing but never on how we can earn more money in the first place!

Part of the reason why we dread Mondays is because we have so much fun over the weekend and we tire ourselves out! I notice that my worst Mondays usually coincide with a jam pack schedule over the weekend. Usually when I have tons of activities over the weekend, I get so tired that I hate waking up Monday morning. From this point on, it’s a downward spiral because I usually have less energy and become impatient with my co-worker, not to mention that I make more mistakes.

When was the last time when you feel rejuvenated on Mondays because you relaxed over the weekend? If the answer is never, why not try it next time?

For those that didn’t rest by the way, all is not lost. The last thing you want to do is load up on sugar because it will only give you short term energy. What you want to do is eat light and drink lots of water! You will be amazed of how much drinking water will help If this still doesn’t freshen you up, go outside and get some fresh air because that always helps too!

So by eating light, drinking water and just relaxing over the weekend, I bet you will feel better at work on Mondays and also save a ton of money!
