Why monday blues?
Why mondays are considered so mundane!!??
Well, it’s Monday and I am writing this, not so dull to me! People often have three types of personalities on a Monday.
- Motivated
- Grumpy
- Neutral
These three personality traits are related to your current emotional health, career path you’re following & your level of self-motivation. Let’s dig a little deeper into this.
Motivated
The Monday Motivated Personality types are the natural positive people who see best in everything. These people are born & bought up in an optimistic environment and have the ability to look for the best in the worst. They take care of their emotions and overall well being. They understand the importance of time and hard work. These are people who enjoy the little things in life. A morning bird chirping is their inspiration for the day ahead and a smiling colleague is their source of happiness.
Mondays for the motivated people are the new beginnings they waited for the whole weekend. Yet, the weekend isn’t a weekend for them. It’s an opportunity to plan and work for the week ahead. These are people who never give up. They do take breaks in between. They relax and rejuvenate and recharge their brain- just to get back on track.
Their Monday Mood depends on their level of self-motivation & so, they’re most likely to be Motivated on a Monday.
Grumpy
Okay. I actually like these people. The Grumpy Personality Types are not THAT optimistic. They are anxious people who face the reality of life everyday and instead of ignoring it, they analyse their responsibilities. These are the most authentic lot of humans. They’re not grumpy because their nature is like that. They’re extremely loving and friendly people. They’re more real than anyone else out there. They may not enjoy each day, but they face each emotion with equality. They don’t force themselves to be happy all the time. They’re motivated when they’re motivated. If not, they’ll be whatever they’re feeling.
Their Monday Mood depends on their emotional health and so, they can be Grumpy Or Not Grumpy on a Monday.
Neutral
These are the funny people. The Neutral Personality Types are the most fun and sarcastic ones out there. They just don’t care if it’s a Monday or any other day of the week. Their response to every day is pretty much the same. Their mondays are normal, just a bit added with work or some responsibility, that they have no problem tackling with. They are the most chilled out group of people. They give the best / coolest advices to people on everything. They’re the epitome of HAKUNA MATATA.
Their Monday Mood depends on nothing. Be it any career they opt or motivation they have, they just don’t think too much and so they’re Neutral.
Why Monday Blues?
Did you know that there is an official day dedicated to a particular Monday of the year and it is called as Blue Monday! As mentioned on Wikipedia, Blue Monday is the name given to a day in January (typically the third Monday of the month) claimed to be the most depressing day of the year. The concept was first published as part of a 2005 press release from holiday company Sky Travel, which claimed to have calculated the date using an equation.
Types of Research followed through a Monday Blues are supposed to be two.
- Emotional
- Professional
Emotional Health
Research tells and like I mentioned above that our emotional health is one of the most impactful factor of our behaviour in day to day life. Our emotional health decides our mood on any particular day, moreover Mondays.
Emotional reasons for having monday blues:
Mental Health Issues : As much as it is pretty much the reason for any kind of disturbance in our system, it is also a reason associated with Monday Blues. If you have depression or symptoms of it, you’re likely to experience monday blues. If you have anxiety or even a slight emotional setback, Monday blues will be at your doorstep.
Introvertedness : It is not hidden that the introverts have monday blues for an obvious reason – Social Interaction. It’s not that introverts hate social interactions, but they don’t like it either! Alright, introverts don’t like them. The weekends are the best for them because they can party on their own. Read a book, lay around, recharge their brain and spend their ME time. When Monday blues strike them, they somehow deal with it, until the night, when they’re again on their own.
Professional Temptations
Professional temptations (what I call it), are the constant urges to switch jobs and follow your dreams. That’s too direct but it is one of the main reasons for having monday blues. You don’t like your job or you want to do something else instead and once monday arrives, your professional temptation take you back to your dreams and aspirations you’ve had since always.
That’s pretty much it !
How To Deal With Monday Blues Like A Pro
If you fall in the category of “personality types on mondays”, you probably don’t deal with Monday Blues. But if you’re the one who has monday blues because of any reason, you can find the next few lines helpful.
- Organised Sleep Cycle: I know these aren’t the times to be asking you to get control in your life. But then when is the right time? The Right Time is always NOW. Take a good sleep or at least organise the current. Sleep cycle is directly associated with our mood. A good sleep makes a good morning and a better day.
2. Get Some Exercise: I can not emphasise on this any further. You workout, you rest better. You workout, you feel better. As simple as that.
3. Finish Your tasks on deadlines: Don’t postpone your work or any task to the next day or week. If you do so, you’ll never feel a freshness of a new day. you’ll get caught up in yesterday’s work and the “new beginning” will remain an “old error”.
4. Utilise your weekend: This simply means, don’t waste it. Don’t waste your weekends on unnecessary outings or clubbing. A weekend is to relax & recharge. Weekend is for yourself. Give it to yourself. I won’t say much, you know what’s right for you.
5. Do what You love: It requires immense courage, bravery and anxiety to follow your heart but once you do, there’s no stopping you. Find a job where you find absolute happiness. Or make one for yourself. You know you can!
Monday Moods are real and so are Monday Blues. I hope you found this information helpful. Comment below which Monday Mood are you in today! We shall help each other become better right!

LOVE Doesn’t Hurt; It Helps Us Grow
Love & Growth – Our Life’s Purpose
I still don’t understand, what is it about love, that I have written so much about it and I still want to write about it! Confusing right? Trust me, I have written to be in love & the truth about unrequited love, even innumerable poems too! I am still not finished. I don’t think I ever will be!
I am not talking about friendships and the relationships we have in our lives with different people. I am only talking about romantic relationships. As friendships and family gives us love without asking for it, or without having to struggle for it you may say! In these relationships, it comes naturally to everyone. This is my family, I have to love them. These are my friends, I will love them no matter what. It’s like you have no choice and nothing else you can do about it.
But what happens in a romantic relationship? You literally ASK yourself, “Do I love this person?” or “Does this person love me?”. You analyse everything closely, if this person will inspire you or not. If this person will love you on the days when you can’t even love yourself!! If this person is going to ACCEPT you, as you are!! You don’t have to ask or think too much about all this in other relationships in your life.
Terms & Conditions
Applied?
In a romantic relationship, both parties have certain requirements or expectations and both of them see in each other, if they match the potential needed by the other. But in some scenarios, or mostly, when it comes to LOVE, the expectations are invisible. Even if the person is completely opposite of what we wanted, there is no going back once love happens. But how does love happen?
“Unconditional love is the epitome of true love.”
There are no terms & conditions when it comes to love. A person can be far away, and you can still fall in love with them (even if you don’t see them physically or meet). That’s the algorithm of long distance relationships, right? No. Wrong. That’s the algorithm of unconditional love. In a long distance relationship, there are some conditions, such as the hours spent talking or texting, how many video calls per week, online gift deliveries and so on….. Unconditional love is the epitome of true love. True love doesn’t have these conditions. Unconditional love is simply without any conditions. Even if the person is miles away, you don’t even talk anymore and they still manage to let your heart skip a beat. Some people call it unrequited love. I used to call it myself. But not anymore. Unrequited love is totally a different aspect of love, it is more twisted and lean more towards obsession.
Unconditional love is not an obsession, but acceptance. Acceptance of truth and of the person’s truth as well. The truth that hurts, but is accepted with love, for love. Acceptance that this love may never happen, but that doesn’t mean you stop loving them, it just gets better with time. You love them still, but it doesn’t hurt anymore.
And there goes the concept of terms & conditions down the drain.
That’s our purpose- Love. Accept. Love some more.
What Now ? Once you love someone unconditionally, will you ever be happy with someone else? If so, how?
“Even from a far away land, the love you hold in your heart is strong enough to make you the best version of you if you let it.”
The Future of LOVE with Unconditionality
It is difficult, yes; to love someone without losing yourself. It is not impossible. People say, to be in love, is to love with your heart, soul, body and mind. True Love don’t let you lose yourself, it helps you grow and find yourself. Even from a far away land, the love you hold in your heart is strong enough to make you the best version of you if you let it.
Once you find yourself, your love will find it’s way as well. Everything around you will start making sense. It didn’t before, because to you, it was only about the person you love, but now, it’s about YOU. After all this, you will feel relieved and your love will grow in a way you always wanted it to. It will serve your soul and fill it with creativity and personal growth. You will create and share. You will love yourself like you never did before, because you’re not in the idea of love, You are ‘in’ love. This unconditional love shows us the path to our higher self. There can be questions about how are we ever going to be in a relationship, if we keep loving like that? If the person we love is not the one we’ll be with, but then how can we be with someone else!!?
“The love never dies. Love is immortal.”
The person we want a relationship may not be the one. The person who’s meant to be with us will come along the way while we enjoy our lives as it is. They will come and stay, unexpectedly longer. It can be anyone. The people you know, or a stranger you should’ve known! They will make you feel happy and beautiful. They will talk about all the things you want to talk about and more. They will make you feel like home. And even before you know it, your love will ‘transfer’ into that person. Yes, transfer. The fact is, once you love someone truly, you can not un-love them. The love never dies. Love Is Immortal. But, when someone else comes into our lives, you see your LOVE in them. You think , “this person seems familiar”. This familiarity comes from the person you already loved. You can see their resemblance in this new person and you feel like this one’s even better! You fall in love again. Not because you un-love the one you loved, but you were never out of love and now you can just share your love with the one who’s willing to share theirs.
This relationship will last and this love will become your new epitome of not true, but real love. Real love happens when you know the hurt, the pain, the effort that goes into loving someone and that doesn’t bother you anymore. Real Love is also unconditional, because you know all the conditions but the one condition makes you forget them all- that you love them.
After a heart-wrenching incomplete true love in your life, you experience Real Love. The only difference is that in real love, you will not repeat the mistakes you did before. You will fight for this to work and will go all the way to have a happy relationship. That’s how you re-love with your true love and make it real. You ACCEPT & GROW.
I hope you find your real love and if you already have, you know what to do. Love is the strongest power that exists, let’s use it the way it is meant to be. Let’s re-invent L.O.V.E. and give it the credit it deserves.
Thanks for reading. Namaste.
