We all know Monday isn't exactly the 'favorite' as far as days of the week are concerned. It's the start to the work week, we're all coming down from the weekend high, and the last thing we want to do is wake up bright and early Monday morning and head to our 9-5's.
I'm sure most of you share the same love-hate relationship I have with Sundays. You have your morning coffee (or mimosa if you're feeling extra fancy), spend a questionable amount of time lounging in your PJ's, catch up on reality TV, and if you're adventurous enough you may just put on normal clothes to run some errands...
...and then around 7 PM a wave of panic takes over your body as you realize you have just a couple short hours left of the weekend. Monday is looming before us and you shudder at the thought of setting your alarm for the morning.
OK so maybe I am being a bit dramatic, but in all honesty, if I don't check a few things off my list Sunday evening (and first thing when I wake up the next day), I am a total spaz Monday morning and that is NOT how I like to start my week. So, if you want to make your transition from weekend to work week a little smoother, here's what you can do:
1. Take a Bath (or a hot shower). There is nothing that a hot bath or shower can't cure. I always sleep better when I feel squeaky clean. I also like to wash and dry my hair the night before so I don't have to deal with it in the morning.
2. Meal Prep. I prep breakfast and lunch five days a week these days and let me tell you -- it makes all the difference. I pack up my lunch the night before, put it in the fridge, and I'm good to go. I set my blender bottle on the counter by my protein powder and I'm all set for my morning protein shake.
3. Program the Coffee Pot. Good Lord is this a huge time saver. It's like magic. You walk downstairs and your coffee is already there...waiting for you...
