Are you one of those people who happily hops onto their bike at 7:00 a.m. on a Monday morning, full of energy, and cycles to the office? When you arrive, do you shout "Good morning" into the room and delight all your colleagues with your positive vibe ? Please tell me you didn't answer "yes" to any of these questions, because then you're completely out of place. Because here are demotivational sayings that will suck every last bit of motivation out of you! We're convinced that those eternal Duracell bunnies with their perpetually good mood and terrible motivation aren't from this planet.
What would your day be without demotivation?
Some people start the week full of energy and with a big smile. Monday truly is their starting point for new things. For most of us, there's hardly anything more pointless than a good mood at the start of the week . This is where silly sayings that make you laugh, as well as silly sayings that make you think, come into play. They provide the perfect dose of reality when others want to motivate themselves with powerful sayings.
A demotivational quote isn't just a joke. It makes you realize that sometimes you can't achieve anything. Please don't commit the sin of comparing demotivational quotes to a Monday joke. A Monday joke still has that bit of positivity in it and wants to show you a light at the end of the tunnel. A well-crafted demotivational quote prevents that and dispels the illusion.
Meaningless sayings can be short and still bring just the right amount of pessimism to get us through the day.

The side effects of demotivational sayings
Warning! Treating yourself to a daily tear-off calendar with sayings carries risks. You could suddenly feel... motivated! Yes, it sounds paradoxical, but that's exactly what can happen if you constantly indulge in pure sarcasm. If you thought a funny calendar full of demotivational quotes would lead to even more inactivity , you were wrong. The side effects are fatal. A genuine demotivational quote has so much dark humor that it might even end up putting you in a good mood. Creepy, right?
And not only that : If you're unlucky, such a saying can even lower your stress level. If you read "Dream big... and then just lie down" in a hectic moment, it might (might) make you laugh. Goodbye to everyday stress, because laughter releases endorphins and banishes cortisol. Even the hardest day at work won't help; no to-do list can compete with that level of nonchalance.
Are you already completely demotivated to be motivated? Then we have another shocking piece of news for you. Do you have one of those demotivating desk calendars on your desk or a tear-off calendar on the wall? When things really go wrong, these sayings serve as a starting point for small talk with colleagues. A witty comment like "The week is off to a great start... isn't it?" opens the door to conversations about the meaningless aspects of life, and voila—you've got the laughs on your side.
