I've heard where it is said that Mondays are the day most people develop high blood pressure. Most people consider Monday to be the most miserable day of the week.

The average respondent in the survey spent 34 minutes moaning on a Monday morning, compared to just 22 minutes during the rest of the week.One in three people said they hated Monday more than any other day of the week.

Ranging from dreading the working week ahead, over-indulging over the weekend or having a lot of emails and things to attend to in at the office and the process it takes to get back into 'Woking mode'. All aforementioned makes people moan on Mondays (moandays).

Truth is monday is too packed with activities, too official and too tight. The air is so stiff and everyone looking all serious and suited up.

It is not news how jam-packed a Monday usually is. Traffic, noise, rush, running and angry people everywhere. Maybe a 9th day should be created cause the work load on Monday is heavy.

Mondays in Lagos.

Growing up in lagos, I could relate with a busy monday. Lagos is the best place I have ever lived in. I mean, there is this interesting about Lagos. People love Lagos a lot because it is adventurous and lively place to live in.

While living in Lagos I learnt to be very sharp and fast because while on Monday mornings one might get to school by 12 a.m if care is not taken; it is either that people waiting to catch the morning bus are more than the buses available and so buses become limited, so one has to be sharp as to be among those that would join the ones available.

Sometime while rushing, students uniform are torn and the suited bankers pull off their suits so that they can be able to struggle or rush for buses.

Mondays in Lagos was and is still hectic. After all this rushing, husles and bussles people have serious headaches and pain to deal with making Monday very moanful.

Apart from that, people have targets, the hawkers in the streets, the bus drivers; everyone has to meet up and there is no time to wait or delay.

Seeing too many people is just a half of it, here’s the other half, everyone acts like a fast forward whistle went off somewhere. People are typically marching and walking in long quick strides. It’s like watching a movie in fast forward. Nobody is there to play, their dreams aren’t waiting for them.

I do tell people that living in Lagos is very interesting and fun because if you can survive Lagos Mondays then you can survive anywhere in the world.

Monday motivation: How to make a great Monday.

Plan and prepare ahead

Most people get carried away by the weekend's fun. Some travel to be with family and friends while other receive guests. All these alone get people away from proper resting and relaxation. However, if you must visit friends and family you ought to have it in mind to rest against the upcoming week and Monday is the beginning.

Therefore, to have a hassle free Monday always make plans ahead in order not to be caught up in the 'moanday' whinnings.

Have a positive mindset towards Mondays

Positives mindset towards Monday is the key to having a beautiful one. I mean, while others cause and hate Mondays you can see it as a day to achieve more possible results. A day to conquer and win uncertainties.

This way you would learn to look forward to Mondays where you are charged to take and conquer the world. Everything depends on the attitude we charge towards achieving success, why not do same at Mondays and see how it plays out.

Limit weekend activities that takes the better part of you and aim at the new week.

If by Sunday you go out to see some friends and gets home late, I think it would be best to limit that by considering yourself and your health. If you are one who is supposed to be at the office very early, it then means that
You are to wake up quite early to do that and a very short night would not do you any good. This can have negative effects on one's health. At the end of the day we get to blame Mondays.

So limit activities that can keep you late at Sunday nights in order to prepare and sleep well against Monday and the week ahead.

See each Monday as the mondayest Monday that has ever mondayed.

It is best to have this in mind, seeing every Monday as an avenue of starting afresh. If there is anything you didn't get right, then be happy to have another week come so that you can achieve the things that you could not achieve the previous week.

So yay! Be happy its Monday again!!

With these I would like to indulge us to go into the world and conquer not minding what Monday could being, be positive and remain inspired.

Happy Monday and have a blessed week ahead.
