Most of us, on Mondays, we wake up with not quite the best mood to start a new week and working day. I’m not making any exception
So this Monday, after a full weekend in which I spent great moments hanging out in Lisbon with some friends and I got to sleep only a few hours. I woke up a little bit tired and with no mood as I had no choice than to go to work.
Went straight on my routine, of preparing myself, had a quick breakfast and hurried up to catch the train, then the bus and so on. I even got a reading strategy, while commuting.
But, with my clumsiness – is a special gift that I have, once again I successfully managed to miss a connection bus, and I had to wait 20 minutes for the next one. I had the inspiration to use those minutes for grabbing a coffee and enjoying the begging of a hot summer day. It was a good thing to do. On the bus, I was reading while the sun caressed my face, and this changed my unpleasant mood.
I won’t go into details regarding work, but being in the marketing department situations and meetings can be very fun, creative, with a lot of visionary ideas, as it all depends on the team. I’m lucky to have a creative and passionate team, so our plans give us the necessary motivation to start working and do our best to develop beautiful projects.
On my way back home I was thinking about how good was this day, having in consideration my mood in the morning, when I realised that in fact, it is, once again, all about decisions.
I made my decision to keep calm when I lost the bus and enjoy the extra waiting time, by doing what I love the most: having a coffee and day-dreaming. In the end, what’s the point on consuming energy over something you cannot control it, right?
Remembering the morning story, while going back home in the afternoon, I decided to change my direction, turning left and heading off to the beach.
While enjoying a new playlist on youtube, I’ve said to myself why not having another coffee and maybe even drafting some paragraphs for a blog post. Which I did, check the photo below. Awesome feeling. It felt really good!
It is a choice, the way we decide to spend time, the way we choose to feel, to act, to behave, to think.
We can always choose to be happy or sad, to feel comfortable or uncomfortable, to enjoy little things or to ignore them.
Do your best every day to do what makes you happy, what makes you feel good! Have the guts to do it and don’t fall into compromise, at least not when you can choose! 🙂
