    Mondayitis

    By blogadmin | February 11, 2008

    Is Mondayitis a word???? No, however it is a sickness that many of us are faced with every 7 days. Questions go over and over in our minds, answers are a little less prolific.
    Life changing thoughts spin around and around at dizzying speeds.
    I don’t know about you, but it’s like every Monday is New Years Day all over again.
    I will be great with my food habits!
    I will exercise more!
    I will keep the house spotless!
    I will work hard!
    What do I want to do with my life?
    Should I change jobs?
    Should I find a partner?
    Can I be bothered?
    I’ll stop spending so much money!
    I’ll stick to a budget!
    I make phone calls when I say I’m going to!
    I’ll finish my To Do List – everyday!

    We usually start of well, then by the time the 6th day has come around again, it’s like it’s Christmas, and we think – oh, heck…..I’ll start being good on Monday. What happened to Wednesday, do any of us ever start a new thing on a Wednesday? Probably not as we are to intrenched in worrying if we are going to stick to our weekly resolutions.

    I’ve changed this in my house – I start the month on a mission. I have a chart in my ensuite with each day listed for the month. Across the top are then things I want to do everyday. Yes, I’m a dag and I use little star stickers to mark out what I achieve everyday.

    Last month I did really well. I even managed to stop biting my fingernails!!!

    This month I added “Do Something Fun”, as I felt I was really letting myself down by not making sure I spent some time every month, doing something fun.

    I’ll add links to the Strippers Tools page as I go with things I use that keep me motivated.
