It's Monday, the day some people acknowledge as their first day of the week even though I'm with those who takes Sunday to be the first day of the week and my resting day. I can remember back when I do go to work on week days and I would be all excited about work on Mondays (that was when I started working for the first time lol) but things changed then and the job started to become too burdensome for me that I lost all excitement about my Mondays and even every other working days.
But I found ease with music back then and that magic works for me up till today. I love to listen to music, for different reasons and at peculiar times. Today started out for me a lazy one, I kinda lost motivation to do anything. Lying down on my bed for sometime without doing anything note worthy, I realized I needed some motivation if not, my day could go even worse.

The motivation was found after I listened to a few songs from my playlist. It's still morning here and I'm not done with my Monday morning chores but I wanted to share how much better music made my Monday morning for me. I'm definitely going to turn this into an habit if I can, today is starting off much better for me.
Right now, a song is playing and I just realized it's been like forever since I listened to the song even though it was once a favourite of mine. The tune, lyrics, vibe and all seem all new to me and I'm loving the feeling I'm getting from it. Well, having such a song play in my ears happens when I set my playlist to play at random. I don't get to do this often especially when I recently add new tunes I fell in love with but when I do, I get different vibes almost at the same time.
I know of many who complains about how tiring, demotivating and annoying Monday is for them, I can bet that music lovers wouldn't feel the same way if they should start their Monday with a song, whether a favourite or just at random (tested and trusted lol).
Mondays aren't so fun but I think I just found a way I had long forgotten to have a fun Monday... Listening to music and I'd recommend that to any for your Monday's excitement and motivation. This post won't be complete if I don't share at least one song I listened to this morning which I'll suggest you add to your playlist if it isn't in it yet.
I'm a huge fan of Sia for her kind of songs and having a long playlist with her songs being dominant in it, I listened to about four of her songs but I'd love to share one of them that got me and had me smiling while vibing to the lyrics.
If there's an artist with power in her lyrics, Sia is that one artist I know. This song says a lot about that aspect of her songs and I think most of her songs I have are like this, powerful and motivating lyrics. The Greatest is my first favourite of her songs and singing it boost my morale so much. I started with this song this morning and here I am feeling like I'm the greatest in my world, best feeling for a Monday morning don't you think? 😅
How do you start your Mondays and not let it be demotivating or uninspiring for you? I'd love to know yours 🙂
