How will this help?
Firstly it is solely made to cure your cravings and your mood.
Secondly you will be reminded of how you ordered it and in what circumstances which will make you laugh someday.

#Tuesday
Dedicate yourself to some physical activities. Practice breathing for 15b mins. Take a walk outside the office.

Wednesday is the ideal day to break up the routine of the workweek. Think of working from a different place, such a quiet cafe or a park.
Plan a midweek excursion, such as going on a local nature trail exploration or taking up a brand-new pastime.

I prefer watching Sarabhai V/s Sarabhai. Half of the Indians are fond of this television series.

I reassure you that this feeling will pass and you will feel more rejuvenated from midweek blues.
Even you can get over this midweek low by embracing positivism, seeking out joy, and taking care of yourself.
