A Monday @ 40

Did we skip the weekend? Do you find it difficult to wake up on Monday mornings? Oh, No. Not Monday again Just like you, many of us employed people feel the same. Right from waking up, to travelling to work, to the first half of the day, it seems to be a drag on Mondays. This Monday feeling reaches a new magnitude when it is coupled with the stress from our personal and professional lives. At the age of 40, our lives are the most vulnerable-physically, socially and financially. We do not realize how much our lives are at risk unless and until a life-disrupting event occurs that throws us off our hamster wheels (yes, wheels one in office and one at home ). This disruption makes us realize what we were doing was something that we never wanted to do, we had become what others wanted us to become and we forgot who we really are, what brings us joy and what pains us. We chain ourselves with self-proclaimed constraints that limit our ability to take risks, to think differently and most importantly to change.

This can drag us to the abyss when such a life disruption strikes. Arvind, is in his forties.
