So many people seem to have an aversion to Mondays. That probably started from childhood when the glory of the weekend was over...and we all had to return to school. It continued when many of us said goodbye to a relaxing Saturday or Sunday, knowing the work week was beginning once again.

The music group, the Bangles, sang about a 'Manic Monday.' The Carpenters sang about how 'rainy days and Mondays always get me down.' The Boomtown Rats had a hit declaring, 'I Don't Like Mondays.' So Monday may NOT be your favorite day of the week. But don't let that fact cut into you fully enjoying that wonderful day that comes right before it.

In other words, don't allow Mondays to ruin your Sundays.

It's very easy to cut weekends short in anticipation of the Monday that is approaching. If we have a weekend away, we plan on leaving early on Sunday to get home because Monday is the start of a new week. We don't want to be tired, or less productive, or whatever the case may be. We need time to unpack, or regroup, or do whatever we feel we need to do before the new week begins. That is all well and good, but in the course of that, we may be taking away from the fun and relaxation that is equated with the weekend.

That's why I like to make the absolute most out of that wonderful day of the week known as Sunday. Sometimes I use my Sundays for getting things done...usually a more fun project (working on a scrapbook, finishing a quilt, etc.), rather than a cleaning project. Sometimes, I'll sleep in bit and then leisurely sip my coffee and enjoy a favorite book...without a care in the world for the rest of the day. Some Sundays may begin with church (if I didn't go the previous night) and breakfast out with my family...and may continue with a family activity during the day...and a movie (home or out) at night. Here and here, Sunday consists of taking a day trip to a place I've been wanting to visit.

Just because Monday is coming, I generally don't cut my time short. So I don't leave the sporting event before it ends, I may stay later to enjoy another hour or two with friends at a dinner party, and I may return from a trip on a later flight...or drive home a bit later...even though I work on Mondays.

Sometimes, I even make plans for Sunday nights. Having something fun to look forward to on a Sunday night helps take the focus away from the fact that Monday is just around the corner. In fact, doing so can actually make Sunday the highlight of the week.

Of course, Monday is not all that bad. After all, any day we can wake up and be blessed with another day is much better than the alternative. But that's a thought for another day.

Why not use today to plan something fun for this coming Sunday...and enjoy it all the way through. Monday will come no matter what...and Sunday shouldn't be wasted away just because Monday follows.

No matter what your dog's problem behavior is, be it jumping, peeing inappropriately, aggression, pulling on the leash...or whatever, there is ONE SOLUTION that can help STOP this problem now.

The sad fact is, most dog trainers miss this solution entirely. They give you cookie cutting training programs. They use outdated and `mean' dominance techniques. Or worse yet, they have no qualifications and are complete phonies. So what's the answer to stopping your dog's behavior problems? In 5 simple words...

Discovering your dog's hidden intelligence.

Let me explain. More intelligent dogs are better behaved. A more intelligent dog takes commands easier and understands what you need from them. The good news is, no matter how clever you think your dog is, you can unlock their hidden intelligence quickly and easily.

Don't waste a second longer coping with problem behaviors you don't need to be dealing with. Visit this link to learn more about Brain Training for Dogs:
