Coping with the Sunday "Scaries"

The Sunday “scaries” refers to that sinking feeling or anxiety some people experience on Sunday night when they realize the weekend is over and Monday morning will soon arrive, and along with it what awaits at work. Gain control over this state of mind by jotting down your tasks and goals for the week. You will feel more control and quickly dispel the sense of dread. Anxiety is often reduced by self-care techniques, so experiment with an enjoyable form of relaxation. For more impact, incorporate this into a regular evening routine. Try a bit of “thought blocking” by keeping your mind occupied with positive activities. Plan your Monday on Friday by taking a bit of time to go over your schedule for the next week. You’re more likely to stay in the present come Sunday night.
