Let's face it, no one likes Mondays. Especially when you wake up to a dark, and gloomy day outside. These are my top 4 ways to have a bright, positive, and productive day; even if the odds are against you.
1. Wake up and Smell the Coffee
I don't know about you guys but coffee is as essential to me in the morning as oxygen. Waking up and going to my 8:30 classes would be unbearable without even the strong smell of coffee brewing. Studies also show that people who drink coffee are less likely to become depressed than those who don't. This is because coffee has a ton of antioxidants that help fight disease and of course the caffeine helps to boost your mood as well.

2. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day
It's a cliche, I know, but that's because it's true. Starting the day off with a healthy breakfast can help improve your day in so many ways. Eating breakfast helps to speed up your metabolism for the rest of your day, and to start your day off with an optimistic attitude.
3. Open up your blinds!
It may be too gross and gloomy to do your homework outside today, but studying in front of an open window with even a little bit of natural sunlight can help boost your mood and help you from getting that horrible feeling cooped up inside all day. Studies even show that light exposure in your workplace have both physical and mental benefits.
4. Get Organized
I may be a little too obsessive when it comes to organizing my weekly planner, but I don't know what I would do without it! I love the feeling of filling out my weekly plans and reminders every Monday. Organization skills help you to have the most productive week possible and relieve the stress of waking up every day not sure what to do.
