because of our bad mind setting towards Monday.

the ideology of ‘Monday Blues’ in humans’ lives.
A. Monday Blues won't occur in the event that we don't set up in our mind that it exist.

presence of ‘Monday blues’ (Areni, 2008)
ii. No confirmation of Monday blues progressively mind-set reports,
rather than review reports of states of mind where 65% of the members
reported their inclination was least on Mondays (Stones, 1985)

tremendous impact towards the businesses, students or even house
wives as it prompts to low efficiency of the entire week as Monday is
the begin of the work week.
2. A lot of delight in the end of the week until they are not set up for work in
Monday.
i. Many will think the weekend is the time where they should release
their stress about work by having leisure time with family and friends.
However, they need to remember how far they have fun with their
loves one. Monday is always Monday, work is always work and you
can’t force it to be a leisure day as the weekend but you can take the
day positively.
ii. Your mind and body cannot accept the existence of Monday because
you need to face the burden of works, meet the clients, and force
yourself to be ‘machines’ that can solve all your works in a quick of
time so that you can go back early.
iii. Monday is the most exceedingly bad day of the week since it is the
main work day following two days of recreation, and in light of the
fact that four work days take after before the following time of
relaxation (Areni,2008)

i. Job become discontent and stressful as it may the signal of you are
missing out on too much of the goals and objectives of your work.
ii. You built up new attitude that any work or task or requirement
movement is a major distraction from enjoyment.
iii. The work or task that needed to be complete not achieve the standard
or quality that verified by the clients as the emotions and feelings were
disrupted by the Monday morning sickness that just a lame ideology
that will spoil the mood of a person

2. Anger and depression influence your workday

i. Emotion will unstable and start to blame others such as the
environment, friends and family for the unproductive works that you
did.
ii. Relationship with your colleagues throughout the day will be affected
as you were surrounded with negatives vibes that was brought by
yourself.

3. Monday blues affects your health and might leads you towards bad disease.

of work with chocolates or do the thing that you such as shopping so
you can enjoy most of your work for the following day.
