Monday is a day of beginnings and new starts. It’s a day where the week is before you and possibilities are endless. Begin the week with momentum and you’ll look back with great satisfaction on all you achieved.
On the other hand, Monday can also be stressful. It’s back to work time. You may be facing some issues or a negative work environment. It’s the highest day of the week for heart attacks.
