Ah, Monday. That notorious day that signals the end of a blissful weekend and the start of another workweek. For many Kenyans, the "Monday blues" are a very real struggle. But fear not; there are ways to combat that sluggish feeling and embrace the start of the week with renewed energy.

One of the key factors is preparation. Sunday evenings shouldn't be a time of dread but rather a moment to set yourself up for success. Instead of leaving everything until the last minute, try planning your week by taking some time to organize your tasks and schedule.

Knowing what to expect can significantly reduce anxiety. Prepare your essentials by laying out your clothes, packing your lunch, and ensuring your work materials are ready. This will save you precious time and stress on Monday morning. Prioritize self-care by engaging in activities that relax and rejuvenate you—perhaps a calming cup of Kenyan tea, a good book, or a relaxing evening with family.

Monday mornings themselves can be transformed with a few simple adjustments. Start the day positively by avoiding the temptation to hit the snooze button repeatedly. Wake up early enough to enjoy a leisurely morning routine that could include some light exercise, a nutritious breakfast, or listening to uplifting music.

Embrace the power of connection by reaching out to friends or colleagues before diving into work; a quick chat can boost your mood and create a sense of community. Focus on small wins by breaking down large tasks into smaller, manageable ones.

Take time to savor those positive moments.

Ultimately, dealing with the Monday blues is about shifting your mindset. Instead of viewing Mondays as a burden, try to see them as a fresh start—a chance to pursue your goals and make a positive impact. By incorporating these strategies into your routine, you can transform Mondays from a day of dread into a day of opportunity.
