HOW TO GET THROUGH MONDAY

-



Many times I find myself asking the same question; why does Monday exist? for whose pleasure? 

It's hard to believe that when Emperor Constantine and the Romans decided that Monday, a day named after the moon would begin the week, they imagined it would also come with feelings of dread and drained energy.

These issues that Monday bring can be either be external (someone annoys you) or internal (you woke up feeling exhausted). On some occasions, you find any reason you can link to the feeling of distaste and rage that is welling up in you.

I'm no psychiatrist but I'll call this " The Monday rage". It's a phase of constant fluctuation between anger and frustration that will no doubt affect those around you negatively.

There are a couple of ways to deal with this feeling and get peace of mind;

1. Brace Yourself - Never go into Monday with an oblivious attitude. What you can do is pray, make your plans, and also make contingency plans. This makes sure everything is double-checked.

2. "15-minute rage space" -Your bad vibes may cause you to lash out at something or someone. However, try setting a mental stopwatch and let it melt away for 15 minutes. This helps the reason for the anger feel trivial and you'll feel better.

3. Breaks - This might seem random but the circumstances at that particular time feed the negative emotions and vibes. Resolve this by getting some rest. If you're at work, take a stroll out of the office. If you're at home, just sleep or read an awesome book (you can find that here). 


Have you used any of these techniques?
Are there others that I didn't talk about?

    Actually, I'm of the opinion that the zeal behind Monday activities determined the rest days in the week. Well, this might not applied to everyone but it's certain that it happens to some people.

    Well, I don't believe it's the name but the day. It's the day after resting and you go to whatever work you have. It's not always exhausting except I have test, exam or actual work that causes me to wake up before 6

    This is an interesting article, I love it Amos

Renewable energy and the federal ministry of power; Improving access by consumers to hydropower

 I will always be a firm believer in the notion that Nigeria's problems can be summarised into just two; Corruption, which is an embedded problem that will require surgery, and lack of electricity (You're welcome to change my mind and drop your take in the comment section). On the latter problem, hydropower will go a long way to solving it but how can we guarantee our access? Let's find out. In the previous post , we looked at how the federal ministry of power has handled the task of power generation and we concluded it's been a piss poor job (You can read that post here). Sometimes, I ask myself if those in charge know what they're doing but it would seem that when you and those around you are equipped with Inverters, soundproof generators, and mini-transformers, the darkness doesn't touch you. Anyway, I digress... Hydropower is a really big deal in the world. It's a steady source of electricity that is ready to keep going as long as there's water on th...

HOW TO GET THINGS DONE

What exactly do you do when you can’t meet up with deadlines? The excuses you come up with to avoid feeling like an inconsistent human. All the side projects you come up with so you don’t have to think about that missed opportunity to actually get something done   I’ll tell you what I do; I forget about it. Sounds crazy but it’s true. I push the problem so far back in my mind that it becomes just a little blip on my mental radar. If I’m feeling especially creative I create problems, blow them out of proportion and then feel safe that I didn’t “fail” but rather became “busy” (What can I say? The human mind will think up anything to avoid blame)   For those like me who adopt a similar coping strategy, you’ve also been hit with this same feeling; Wake up in the morning, think of the work you have to do, scream and laugh a little in your mind and then get back under the covers cause there are movies to be watched. As perfect as this may seem, it’s not going to last and yo...
