Don't be so sour about a Monday. Shift your perspective. Like the first day of the

year, a Monday can be a fresh start to your workweek - bringing lots of opportunities. People will feed off of your energy - so if you go around bad mouthing the day, then

you are really reflecting a negative vibe. Instead, try to mentally adjust your thinking

(even when things aren't going as planned) so that you are able to enjoy your day

at work. As if you were making New Year's resolutions - make a list of what you

would like to accomplish for the week and make it your goal to see how many

successes you can have. Look ahead, plan for those goals, and make this

Monday work for you! Don't forget to smile more frequently on a Monday.

It's contagious - and it makes you look better.
