Today’s Horoscope

All Signs:
Today is Monday, and Mondays are hard.  Maybe it’s because we are coming off of two days where our time was our own.  Well, relatively speaking.  Our time is very seldom our own.  We have friends and family and children and pets and all kinds of other things that put demands on our time, but at least we’re not at work.  Or we might hate Mondays more just because that’s the way we have been conditioned to think.  
Whatever the reason, Mondays are hard.  
But you have gotten through every other Monday so far and you will get through this one.  Like most everything else in life, you can choose to be positive or negative about it.  So head into Monday not thinking about how it’s the end of your weekend, but as the first 20% of the way through your week until your next weekend is here.  
Maybe you can only afford to go out to go out for lunch one day a week, but why not make that day Monday?  Go sit down in a nice place you like and take it easy for a half hour or so.  Or pick up something you like, even if you have to eat it at your desk.  Treat yourself, so at least you have something to look forward to on Monday that also marks the halfway point until your day is done.  
Perhaps you can reward yourself when you get home.  Get something for dinner you have been craving, or plan a date or a movie or just a walk in the park.  Anything that makes you look forward to Monday and a little treat for your accomplishment.
Because don’t kid yourself, getting through any day is an accomplishment.  We have trained ourselves not to notice the hazards and pitfalls we navigate everyday, but they are there and you should always be grateful you arrive home safe and sound at the end of the day.  
So go out and kick another Monday’s ass and feel good about doing it.  And if sometimes Monday kicks your ass, don’t worry about it.  There’s a rematch coming next week and now you know all its moves, so you’ll do fine.
Like you always do.
