Typically, most “work-week” schedules begin on Monday. Over time, Mondays have earned the unfair and unpopular designation as the “back to work” day when people sluggishly return to their job site, usually ready for another weekend immediately! Return to work is dreaded but leaving the workspace is joyful and with energy! Unfortunately, this is the regular attitude and routine for the multitude.
It doesn’t always have to be that way. Monday follows a weekend which in many cases presents a respite from the usual workday regimen. The weekends, while brief, offer an opportunity for recreational and relaxing activities that restore some mental balance and allow rejuvenation. Socialization circumstances afford many the chances of idea exchanges additional renewal experiences.
Thus, Mondays afford a significant majority of us to return to our professional environment with new experiences, ideas and possible resources for not only enhancing our personal lives but also with suggestions for our coworkers. Instead of a mundane day to return to the work routine, Mondays can also be viewed as a day to refresh our individual and social adventures and situations.
My spouse, Aaron, and I both believe that enriching and expanding the “Monday role” in our lives adds a new dimension of both expectation and pleasure for all of us. Most of us are discreet with our personal lives in the professional setting, yet this doesn’t prevent us from sharing aspects of a novel or new-found ideal or theme that others may explore or indulge.
Encouraging information exchange helps to eradicate some issues with “mediocre Mondays” and affords us a tool to utilize to improve communication. In addition, it enables us to broaden our workplace social circle that increases the resources all of us may implement. The expanded networks this creates offers all of us unimaginable benefits and rewards.
Naked hugs!
