Why are Monday\u2019s so bad?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Health-related problems are one of the biggest triggers of the Monday Blues. \u00a0We need to get enough sleep, not over-indulge in food and drink and get through as much work as possible on Thursday and Friday so that we don\u2019t start Monday\u2019s buried in emails!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It seems that\u00a0having something to look forward to<\/strong>, and\u00a0being creative<\/strong>, are both fool proof ways of getting through the first day of the week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
