I think for me it's the stark contrast between having a routine during the week, and doing much less during the weekend. I think one way I could improve the "Sunday blues" is to have more of an established routine on the weekends.
What I currently do is on Monday I just throw myself back into the routine - wake up at 6:45am, shower, feed the cats, breakfast, walk to placement, work until 4. By the time I'm at work for a couple of hours, I'm back in the groove and ready for the week.  And honestly, I'm a lot happier when I'm engaged in a routine.
This post has given me a push to improve my weekend routine, so thank you very much for that.  I hope we both have a fabulous Monday. |
Aw, thanks! I’m glad you found a solution!! That sounds like it works very well for you.
My issue is the opposite. I LOVE my freedom and having no routine on the weekends lol. So when I have to return to responsibility and a routine, I get depressed. I don’t like it. I prefer to not have to be awake at a certain time, get ready etc and be at work at a certain time. I wish I could run my own gig or business but I’d probably be working around the clock. I love freedom and just having fun, which is my weekends. I do get out for fun during the week so I have something to look forward to, but I really don’t know how to resolve the Sunday night/ Monday morning depression. Argh.
