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 in Lisbon with some friends and just a few hours of sleep, I woke up a little bit tired and with no mood as I had no choice than to go to work.
I’ve prepared myself, had a fast breakfast and hurry up to catch the train, then the bus. My strategy was to read on the way, since I start reading a book, just to put myself on the track
As a special gift that I have, once again I successfully managed to lose the bus connection, so 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 took the decision not to get angry when I lost the bus and enjoy the free time, by doing what I love drinking coffee and day-dreaming. Having these thoughts running on my mind, on the way back, I decide not to go straight home and instead of turning right, I turned left and head off to the beach. ?
While happily listening to a new playlist on youtube and walking on the cliff, I’ve said to myself: Monica, what if you stop for another coffee and write some lines (these lines) for your blog?
And I did it!
And I feel damn 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! 🙂
