A lot of people wake up on Monday morning with a feeling of dread.

It's the start of a working week, you have to get out of bed early, and you're anxious about what awaits you when you get into the office.

One of our team combats this by setting her alarm half an hour early and just slowly waking up in bed.

She does ten minutes of meditation, plays the day's Wordle puzzle, and just spends time being mindful before getting up.

By the time she leaves her bed, she's a lot calmer and ready to take on the day.

What tips do you have to combat Monday mornings?
