English Expression: Go through the motions
Good morning, sunshine!
Welcome to Monday!
Time to rise and shine!
It’s time to jump out of bed bright-eyed and bushy-tailed.
Open your curtains and greet the day, “HELLO WORLD IT’S, (insert your name here)!”
What?
Not today?
It is not going to happen on Monday, eh?
Monday is a day for going through the motions.
Monday is not a day for energy, enthusiasm or jumping of any kind, especially out of bed.
It’s the day for being lethargic; you do everything you must do just because you must do it.
Enthusiasm, energy, or smiling of any kind is not required because it’s Monday and a day for going through the motions.
When you are bored and not enthusiastic about doing something, but you do it anyway, you are going through the motions.
