It's Friday - then Sunday Scaries - Anxiety

Anxiety on Sunday

The Sunday Scaries 

For some, it is the last day to work, and they have the typical two days off. Second, not burning all that gas and fighting traffic on the weekend. Third, maybe getting together with friends.

For most, that is what everyone looks forward to for the weekend. Moves, get together, go out to eat, and so on.

Then, it is time to get ready for work on Sunday night. The cycle starts again. Some love their jobs; for others, it's ok and livable because it pays the bills; for others, is tremendous out of dread and anxiety. It is described as an intense feeling of anxiety the Sunday night before returning to work. I call it the Sunday scaries. The Sunday scaries result from job discomfort or insecurity about career performance. 

How do I deal with that?

1. Take Control: take control of my physical space. Instead of sulking in all of that negative energy, I take the time to clear my space. I open the windows and turn on the lights. Listen to your favorite song to help change your mood.

2. Go Sober: For some, grab a beer or wine out of the fridge to cope. Instead, bake cookies or try a new dinner recipe. 

3. Create a weekend blueprint. One way to get your mind off the dread and anxiety is to journal. Journal about the highlights of your weekend. Thank the Lord for the fellowship with others or time out with good friends. What did you talk about that was enlightening to you? 

4. Change the workplace atmosphere: Not all jobs are good, depending on the boss and coworkers. What can you do differently? Bring those baked goods to share in the office. Plan to work on a positive note, expecting good things to happen. When entering your work area, say good morning to your coworkers. Ask them how their weekend went. Refrain from dwelling on what has happened in the past. Go in expecting to hit the bullseye with kindness. 

All these steps are proactive to overcome the dread and anxiety.
