I used to hate Mondays like the plague. I had anxiety attack-like symptoms that petrify me during Sundays that I don’t even get to enjoy that day. I know several people who dread Mondays and just know it’s going to be another ‘case of the Mondays’. Wow, way too many M-words. I’m happy to say that I’ve freed myself from that crutch.
My strategy the past few years? Schedule fun things that I like for Mondays, so I’ll have good things to look forward to, Like this:
This afternoon I’m going to get a few of these incredibly delicious donuts to bring for Dan. This is my absolute favorite donut in the whole world, and that says a lot because I’ve eaten hundreds of them. [Scary.] If you’re ever in Vancouver — as if I haven’t given you enough reasons to go — don’t forget to visit Granville Island. I’m also seeing a good friend later to talk about exciting things (haha).
How do you beat your Case of the Mondays?
I used to feel that way too. I changed jobs and now I (usually) don’t get those Monday anxiety feelings anymore. And if on a certain week I do feel anxiety creeping in on a Sunday, it is much less than before…I will barely notice it.
But I think your fun things for Monday idea is really great! Even if my Mondays are fine now, a donut can only make it better. :)
The job factor definitely has something to do with it, for sure. Yeah, donuts for sanity. :p
I totally hear ya on the Monday thing. It definitely ruins my Sunday! It was the worst after a winter break at school when I’d be off for a month and then go back to school on Monday. All day Sunday I’d be SO anxious. I’m still like that for work. Good idea with the doughnuts.
Hillarys last blog post..Super-Easy Banana Bread
Hillary — hahaha…yeah…isn’t that funny. We only have 2 days of break and one is ruined by worrying about the coming day. It’s harder for me at the winter, because it’s SOOO nice to sleep in. lol.
Thats one of my favorite donuts from Lee’s too….it is my favorite chocolate donut. I have worked for the Lee’s for nearly 9 years, i probably know u to see u…and have served u this donut several times. I am suddenly wishing to have a donut now. See u at the shop! Thanks for the support.
Most people just write reviews to complain or sulk, and I know thousands of thousands of customers who love Lee’s Donuts. I love hearing good reviews and i am open to hear some complaints….i like to try keep open minded, so if something goes wrong, we can at least know to fix it. Some don’t want me…the ”donut lady,”to know them, cuz its probably embarrassing to them to be known at a donut shop. So, sometimes i find it hard to get the feel of a unshameful customer vs. a shameful customer. Hope to see u soon at the shop…Take Care!!!
