Monday Blues

Monday Blues

Oh Monday's. How we all despise you so. It seems as if the weekends fly by, and the fun moments within those two days are nothing but a memory upon waking Monday morning. Once you hear the all too familiar sound of your alarm clock go off unbearably early on Monday morning, it seems as if all the life that was in you drains away little by little throughout the week.

Maybe you work in hospitality, or any job other than in an office setting, and you don't have the typical Saturday and Sunday off. Maybe you have Tuesday and Wednesday off. Whatever it may be, do you find yourself counting down the days, hours, maybe even minutes until you're running out the door to escape to what little freedom it seems you have?

Don't worry, you're not alone. In fact, I'm willing to bet that most of us are living for our days off. We work as if we're all robots or better yet, zombies going through the monotonous routine of our daily schedule. The paycheck, the fancy, overpriced coffee and our coworkers seem to be the only inspiration that keeps us returning to the same maddening regimen that creates this ghastly and undeniably lethargic sense of being.

Well, what if I told you that your working days didn't have to be as somber as they seem? What if I told you on the days you work, you could be just as happy as you are on your weekends? Sounds great, right? It's not an insurmountable concept. It's simply a matter of pre-conditioned perception. As we grew up, our culture conditioned us to hate "Monday's." It's prevalent in the news, television shows, and movies alike.

And as a result of our indoctrination, into the "we hate Monday's club" we have learned to hate the day of the moon. Which in turn leads to our suffering. This is also the result of placing a negative connotation on things in our lives. So how do we reverse our preconditioned connotations?

Simple, we react the way we do to certain things because our minds have been trained to do so. So what we're actually dealing with is the question of how do we retrain our subconscious to less perceive Monday's, or anything really for that matter, in a negative light? The answer is repetition.

When negative thoughts, regarding any matter, creep into our minds we must be cognizant of them and stop them abruptly. And then we simply replace them with a desired thought. This will take time as we are trying to undo the conditioning of many years. However, with diligence, success can be found. Our perspective is ultimately what we choose it to be. The only difference is whether or not we choose to control them.

Did I just blow your mind or what? Perhaps you're bored with my logistical thinking about our perceived "definition" of what a Monday usually stands for. Maybe you're intrigued. Either way, regardless of if it's a Monday or not, try retraining your thought process to avoid the downward spiral of negative thinking. Try putting some pep into your step, be more friendly with your customers, smile a little more. I mean, you have to go to work anyways, might as well make the most of it. Who knows, you may just end up having a new and blissful definition of the term, "Monday Blues."

The Ice Cream Girls

Hello everybody. Its Rahul from Designing Brilliance and today we have another guest post from Ori Spi

Today I wanted to write about one of my favorite all time book..The Ice Cream Girls by Dorothy

Koomson.

First I’m going to introduce you to this amazing author Dorothy Koomson. Born in 1971, Koomson is a full time writer, her published works amount to eleven books the latest was published in May of this year namely “When I was invisible”

The Ice Cream Girls is about two teenage girls who fell in love with their Mathematics teacher. In 1995 they are accused of murdering the teacher they both loved. The story is a recount of their experience, together with their present lives.

One of the girls had to go back to her home town after her mother fell sick, the other girl Poppy at the
time got out of prison..and they were forced to confront each other.

For all the bookworms out there, who loves fiction, drama, romance and a thriller…this book is the
perfect mix for this recipe…

I also had the opportunity to watch the TV drama which was featured by ITV.com but nowadays I can’t seem to find it…This drama was based on the book The Ice Cream Girls but the heading was different as it was called The Two Ice Cream Girl. The girls in the drama have different personalities than those in the book. So yes, I would definitely suggest that before watching the Tv Drama...READ THE BOOK

If you are interested in this author you can drop by her website which is www.dorothykoomson.co.uk

Summertime sadness...

Summertime sadness...

Hello everybody. Its Rahul from Designing Brilliance and today we have a very special guest post from Ori Spi who will be posting some fabulous content from this day onward.

To all the people who want to look good in their denim jeans, their maxi dress and their bikinis.

To all the people who refused to go for a walk during the others seasons and instead indulged in piece of snickers cake

To all the people who refused to eat healthy and eat lots of junk food thinking its going to be oki….

P.S: Summer is around the corner…(and I can hear the screams of people who cannot get in their bikini)…oh no I think I’m hearing myself….

So today I made an effort: ROAD TO CHANGE

I’m not a person who likes to eat breakfast.. My mornings usually consists of two cups of coffees (with milk) and then I skip immediately to lunch which by that time I will be starving and binge on bread..

Today I had only one cup of coffee and I had some breakfast which consisted of a smoothie: 1 Banana Yogurt, 1 Banana, 1 Peach and some Chai Seeds.

For lunch I’m planning to have some tuna salad but I’m still clueless for dinner…..

What about you? What are your meal plans?
