Okay, so I am NOT a Monday morning person and today is no exception. I was so ill when I woke up that I would have taken anyone's head off if they had said anything to me. It only got worse when I got to work. Mondays are hard after being off for a long weekend in my office. Those you entrust to "help" out while you are gone, usually never do what they say they were going to do. Ironically, if you are unable or do not complete a project for them when they are out, then, of course, you are a horrible person and have endure the glances and the discussions behind you back, etc. The office workplace is so reminiscent of high school sometimes!
That being said, I have attempted to improve my mood and get over my aggravation. It is a slow process and, in my case, takes a lot of surfing the web and my bookmarks for things that inspire and make me feel good. Of course, I start with checking out the eagle cam at Berry College. The baby eagle is getting so big! It is amazing how much it has grown in a month! I then go from one live webcam to another (I have them all bookmarked) checking out all of the animals. This calms me down and starts the positive mind process.
I know, other website and life coaches tell you to smile and be grateful, etc. I am all of those after the fact, but not when I'm trying to get out of this mood. I like to be left alone for a little bit and listen to those around me, play online and find positive things that inspire me. I cannot just jump in and help someone or start up a conversation with someone. I'm just not that type of person. I have to do it slowly and at my own pace. I consider this time when I'm trying to work out of my mood, as my "me" time.
At any rate, the process has begun and I'm beginning to feel better. Checking all the places I like to visit online usually helps pull me quickly out of my mode. One thing I do suggest is that you NOT check Facebook. This tends to aggravate me more than help with my mood. It is ridiculous the amount of venting people put on there. If I'm on Facebook, I'm looking to see if pictures of my nieces and nephews have been posted and check out what my family is doing. It is annoying to hear a rant and rave and it is annoying to have a person go on and on about their daily schedule. That is just too much information and very annoying. I don't really care that a person got up and had so and so for breakfast! One note, I do not post diatribes of my day, my mood or any thoughts (unless I lose it and am just ready to go off on someone) on Facebook. Most of my family are on there and if I make one comment like that, then they start calling and texting and asking what is wrong. This does not help!
Also, and I thank you if you are reading this, writing on this blog is helpful as well. It is basically venting to a certain extent. However, I am hoping there are like minded individuals out there like me and whatever I write could be helpful to them. I am not a self-help person or a life coach, but just a normal, every day person with a 9:00-5:00 job who is trying to figure life out.
Well, after "venting" on here and playing around online, I am feeling much better. I have discovered that you have to do what is best for you or the process that works for you in making your mood better. Following self help gurus is useful and some of there articles and steps are very beneficial, but remember, though they are seemingly "up" all the time in their articles and blogs, it does not mean that they are that way all the time. We all go through bad moods/bad days. None of us are up all the time. Guess what? You are allowed a moment of moodiness!
So, I'm done! Going to go and surf the web some more before getting down to my job. Have a good Monday and remember - tomorrow is Tuesday! Almost hump day! LOL!
