Surviving Monday In Irie Style

Mondays can feel like an avalanche barreling down on you. My simple advice? Start by planning in the time you'll care for yourself. Today will you work out, go to a yoga class, meditate, read, get a massage, take a walk?? Decide when that's happening first and treat it like any other important deadline or meeting. The hustle up a nice cuppa tea and get to it. Don't forget to eat.

Second, take it lightly. And to keep keepin' it real, listen to reggae. (read this next line with your best Jamaican patois) "Got to t'ink positive, no negative vibes!"  Reggae was made for Mondays. Especially when the sun is taking care of other people. It's like instant sunshine. Irie.
