One of the most common fears the world over is Monday. Monday mornings are often sad, depressive and our motivation levels are at an all-time low. Maybe it is the forceful reality check that you hate after two days of pure, uninterrupted bliss (read, weekends). You wish that weekends were longer. Well, we would like you to know that the feeling of Monday morning laziness is unanimously mutual the world over.

Why Do We Feel Lazy On Mondays?

Monday's make waking up a seemingly impossible chore. Even after you drag yourself out of deep slumber to take a shower, the water looks ridiculously cold. You splash some water around and walk out, announcing that you bathed. The morning chai (tea) doesn't work, in spite of all the masala. As you sip in the last traces of tea, you know deep within your heart that it's another one of those lazy Monday's. Monday brings out the worst in us, at least it seems that way. But what can be done about the laziness and the depression following it? What can be done about the twitch to take down your boss for just asking "How was your weekend?" as it reminds you of the two days of bliss that just got over?

Follow these steps to work your way out of the Monday morning laziness syndrome.

Identify the problem
There has to be a reason why Monday's are so dreadful for you. Maybe it's something that you're doing or are not doing. Maybe you have a problem with your boss or a co-worker. Or just maybe you just hate your job and you should start searching someplace else! To know how to beat Monday morning blues the first step is to recognise the problem.

Prepare for Monday on Friday
Agreed that the burning desire to rush home or the nearby disco seems terribly inviting, but organizing yourself on a Friday will help you in getting rid of the Monday morning blues. You could start by making a note of the important tasks which are scheduled for Monday. Planning for ahead aids in your fight against laziness and hence drives away those blues.

Unplug for the weekend
Since the dawn of technology or more specifically, the smartphone, people have been taking their work to their bedroom. What was supposedly a boon now seems like a bane! On weekends unplug yourself from technology and try actually getting into an animated conversation with your loved ones. It goes a long way in beating those Monday work blues.

Early to bed early to rise...
Benjamin Franklin was so damn right when he said, "Early to bed early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.". A routine is an essential part of any human being's existence. So it's not a good idea to switch off that alarm for the weekend. On Sunday night go to bed soon and wake up early. So hitting the hay early helps in fighting off those Monday morning laziness.

"Because I'm Happy" attitude
Attitude goes a long way in determining the kind of day that Monday will be. It doesn't really matter if you wake up facing the sun or something else. Studies show that even pretending that you're happy goes a long way in beating the Monday morning laziness. So sing along with Pharrell Williams to "Happy" and make Monday a fun day.

Smile your way into Monday
Pretty much like hiccups, a smile is also quite contagious. Smile at a stranger and he/she will smile back or perhaps call the police! We're kidding! Most of the times they will smile back or just leave feeling better about themselves. Don't try to figure out how to beat Monday morning blues! It's as simple as smiling at each other. Sure the world seems a little more crazier but when wasn't it?
