Five apps to drive away your Monday blues

As the curtains draw on the weekend, working professionals are gearing up for the new week. The most common feeling, however, is to extend the weekend.

As an age-old saying goes, "laughter is the best medicine, particularly to drive away Monday blues." It provides a full-scale workout for muscles, decreases stress hormones and unleashes a rush of endorphins, the body's natural feel-good chemicals.
