As prices and building costs keep rising, the do-it-yourself'(DIY) trend(趨勢) in the U.S. continues to grow.

“We needed furniture(家具)for our living room,” says John Ross, “and we just didn't have enough money to buy it. So we decided to try making a few tables and chairs.” John got married six months ago, and like many young people these days, they are struggling to make a home at a time when the cost of living is very high. The Rosses took a 2-week course for $280 at a night school. Now they build all their furniture and make repairs around the house.

Jim Hatfield has three boys and his wife died. He has a full-time job at home as well as in a shoe making factory. Last month, he received a car repair bill for $420. “I was deeply upset (焦慮)about it. Now I've finished a car repair course(課程), I should be able to fix the car by myself.”

John and Jim are not unusual people. Most families in the country are doing everything they can to save money so they can fight the high cost of living. If you want to become a “do-it-yourselfer”, you can go to DIY classes. And for those who don't have time to take a course, there are books that tell you how you can do things yourself.

How to love your Mondays

I used to spend the second half of Sunday dreading Monday morning.1.But now I am definitely in the “I Love Mondays” camp. Here’s what I’ve found that works:

Start Monday morning with your Sunday night routine. When you get ready to exercise, you warm up first.2. Get everything you need for the morning ready to go. Then consider a special “Sunday Night Only” winding down ritual (固定方式).It might be tea and a favorite TV show, or a long hot bath. Whatever it is, enjoy this Monday morning warm-up, and consider turning in a little earlier than you’re used to.

3.Turning in a little early Sunday night can help with getting up a little early Monday morning. When you have a little extra time in the morning, you can gently settle into the day and keep that weekend feeling of ease as you start your new week.

Find a theme for the week. Every Monday, I post an inspiring quote or saying on the wall. These are intentional! Each week, as part of my Sunday night winding down time, I consider what I’d like to focus on in the coming week, and look for a quote that’s a good fit to reinforce (加強) it.4.

Look at the week’s tasks as opportunities instead of problems. What are you excited about for the new week?5.What’s been hanging over your head undone from last week? Take a look at the week ahead and highlight a few things that you can reasonably accomplish.

When you are intentionally creating a life you love, Mondays begin to feel like a beautiful new start!

A.Get up early enough to start slowly.

B.What a waste of a perfectly good evening!

C.What problem-solving opportunities do you have?

D.Consider Sunday nights your warm-up for Monday.

E.Have them in clean, working order and a convenient location.

F.It can be a word or whatever inspires you for the week ahead.

G.The work is the same either way, but our attitudes are within our control.
