It all starts in the kitchen. Treat yourself to a slow-paced morning ritual of tea and a healthy breakfast. Rushing out the door first thing Monday morning will set the tone for the entire week. Slow down and enjoy your morning.

TIDY UP

Keeping with the slower pace, take a couple of minutes to tidy up your space. Wipe down the table top, pick up any laundry from the floor, and make your bed. As easy as it is to roll out of your bed and go to work Monday mornings, taking a couple of extra minutes to tidy will make a huge difference.

Answer any unopened emails, respond to any missed texts or calls, clear your voicemail, and quickly check social media platforms. Start your week right by not creating a mental clutter of unanswered notifications.

FRESH AIR

Take a moment in your work day to walk around the block a couple of times. Fresh air is a great way to clear a cramped headspace. It will leave you feeling a lot more focussed and ready to finish the task at hand.
