I always find that I hate and love Mondays all at the same time. I hate them because I know it will be a long five days of go..go… go.. before I get to relax a bit again.
But.. I love Mondays because they are an excuse for another fresh start.
My Three Tips for SURVIVING Mondays
1. Get prepared for the week the night before. Lunches made, apartment/house cleaned and have a tentative plan for the week ahead. That way there are no surprises!
2. Dress up! I find when I dress up and put something on that makes me feel good, I am more likely to enjoy my day and be in a better mood!
This Monday’s Outfit:
3. Last but not least, get up early and get moving! Go for a walk or hit the gym, starting your week off right, will allow you to feel great and set the dynamic for the rest of the week.
Last night, I attempted a new dish and it was a success! Coming from the girl that could only make cereal, every time a recipe is successful, I get very excited!
If you want a quick, easy and healthy dish to prepare this week, give this a shot!
