A Copywriter’s Monday: What’s the Real Meaning of Monday Morning Blues?
Monday morning blues … I think it probably resonates to most folks, at least in America, don’t you?
I don’t know about other cultures, but in ours I think it’s a pretty common malady to wake up in a fog on Monday mornings, wondering what happened to our weekend? ![]()
Maybe, today feels particularly ‘premature,’ because my dog got sick on Saturday and ended with an emergency hospital visit in the middle of the night on Saturday.
She’s OK. Apparently, she had an allergic reaction to something. What, I don’t know, but her eyes were very swollen and she had hives all around her snoot, with at least one that we found on her body.
After an antihistimine injection, along with a steroid, she was much better the next day, thankfully!
This is the best dog I’ve ever had in my life! She’s also a therapy dog, who gives love to so many. So, when something happens to her, my whole world is put on hold … until she’s recovered.
I wonder, then, if the real meaning behind Monday morning blues is that we have to ’snap out of’ our real, important life of just being with family and friends – and re-enter the world of commerce, where we have to get into our business-mind and get out of our being-mind?
I’m fortunate enough to work from home, and I still feel the MMB! ![]()
This week, I commit to combine my being-mind with my business-mind and to remain in a state of calm and flow.
Do you have anything to share about Monday Morning Blues? What do you think it’s all about?
If you’re a business owner, and your marketing seems like it’s about as exciting as the MMBs — seek out a marketing strategist and copywriter to give your marketing a swift kick in the pants!
Oh, blue Monday, I accept you and all that you represent. I now transform my thinking to include you as a welcome guest. Today is today. It’s all I have. I will bless it as the opportunity it is.
Here’s to the enjoyment of Mondays!
