You’ve had an ordinary weekend and now you have Monday morning blues. While you\u2019re desperately looking for coffee, someone asks you, “How was your weekend?”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before you growl, snap at them, give them a boring answer, or get tongue-tied, see it as an opportunity to practice the art of powerful descriptions. It is hard, especially on a Monday morning, but it can change the course of your day, perhaps even your week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How was your weekend reply\u200b<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

…it was productive” if you were just tidying your space, doing laundry and groceries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

…it was insightful” if you were having deep conversations with your family or were reading something interesting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

…it was family time and me time” if you enjoyed time with family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

…the world wide web kept me enthralled” if you’ve spent two days on the internet just going from one page to another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

…it was a peaceful and quiet two days” if it’s just been you, the TV and Swiggy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bring in a new word every Monday to describe your weekend. Definitely a positive word. You’ll be opening new conversations and becoming a ray of sunshine on a bleak Monday morning. Whatever it is, say it in style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
