The sorcery of being indifferent to Mondays.

And just like that, it’s frickin’ Monday again. The Boomtown Rats didn’t like Monday. The Bangles found it to be a ‘Manic’ day. And most of us don’t want it to happen, ever. And yet. Every 7 days. It reappears.

So why do we hate it? Let’s check with the science people.

We socialise more often at weekends. This disturbs our energy levels.

We have ‘lie-ins’. That messes up our body clock.

So, you are physically less alert.

When you feel physically less fit, you ‘feel’ worse. Studies have shown people feel less attractive on Monday.

We feel Mondays are the worst day and so it becomes that. So we feel ‘blue’ about it.

A massive Gallup study states 70% hate or is disengaged from their job. And most ‘jobs’ start on Monday at 9am.

So, you are mentally in a lesser state.

No wonder must of us feel shite about this day.

And yet some people say they Love Mondays. Who are those freaks? I have met them and am still unsure if they mean it or just say they do to piss you off. 😉

Me, I am indifferent to Monday. I mean the word Monday. I feel the same about the words Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

Am I, too, a freak? Well, some of the people I have worked with feel the same. What kind of sorcery is this?

Here are a few things we do differently.

1- We live in the moment and are, as Tim Minchin described, micro-ambitious. We understand that engaging fully in each moment gives us plenty of rewards.

2- We slowly yet steadily start seeking out the good things we love doing most and do more of this.

3- We attach importance in doing that what we do in the flow. Without distractions, naturally, from within.

4- We accept we are complete human beings and have everything we require already within us.

Let me pause here and give you some personal side effects that came from living this way.

I’m 1 month away from being 10 years GP free (that includes no colds nor flu). Opportunities appear everywhere because I am not fixated on some future goals and life. This led to 4 new ‘business’ partnerships in the last 2 months alone. I have run 120 Full Marathons between the age of 42 and 53 and am not done. And there is more but that is for a next blog or book 😊

Just trust yourself. You can do this too. Yes, you.

Imagine becoming indifferent to the word Monday. Doing more of what you love. And still making a Living. Imagine what that would feel like.

You are so worth it.
