For many of us, it is that dreaded Monday. The first ‘back to work’ of 2016. I hope all of you managed to have a break from work, full of rest and fun.

If you found it difficult to switch off from work, as I have previously when I was working as a teacher, you may want to rethink your work/life balance. When you are older and look back on your life, make your standout memories full of fun, friendship, laughter, love – not ones of stress, spreadsheets and computer screens.

Leave work on time, learn to say ‘no’ when it gets too much and get to know your colleagues so you can have some laughter during your working day.

Let this ‘Monday Motivation’ be about inspiring a ‘work to live’ attitude, not the other way around 🙂
