If you've ever felt a looming dread on Sunday that falls upon you much like clockwork; as your mind anticipates Monday morning, the week ahead, and what you may wish you could avoid; then you likely know all too well what feels like...
TRUTH SERUM: 95% of people that experience Sunday anxiety said they believed it was due to work stress. 'That Sunday Feeling' is the culmination of anticipatory anxiety and/or a depressive mood that can be easily managed and alleviated with these 10 best practices.
A-HA MOMENTS: You are not alone in 'That Sunday Feeling' .
Use each of these 10 best practices as the cure, and as a new way of approaching life as you now know it.
PRACTICAL WISDOM: Unlock your infinite potential. Understand the source of your Sunday blues. If you feel largely unmotivated and unhappy because your work (and perhaps other aspects of your life) are unfulfilling, then I urge you to identify what is meaningful and to examine what your greater purpose is in this lifetime. In this episode I offer the strategy for how to do this so that you can live a life of purpose and meaning and without needing to uproot your life as you know it.
New research from The Sleep Judge (an organization that helps people get a good night's sleep) showed that an astonishing 81 percent of people said they experience an elevated sense of anxiety on Sunday in anticipation of the week ahead. 15 percent of people polled in the study reported feeling dread first thing Sunday morning, 29 percent in the afternoon; and the majority - 57 percent of people reported feeling especially stressed on Sunday evenings.
According to a survey conducted by the job site Monster, up to 76% of Americans self-reported having “really bad” Sunday night anxiety, compared to 47% of people throughout the rest of the world.
"95% of people that experience Sunday anxiety said they believed it was due to work stress. 38% of people who experience Sunday night anxiety have admitted to calling in sick on Monday due to their symptoms."
Releasing each episode of this podcast on Sunday evening, was a decision inspired by this real phenomena that millions of people experience every week. If you or someone you know has experienced dread, anticipatory anxiety, panic attacks, a depressed mood, and disturbed or restless sleep on Sunday; wishing that you did not have to go to school or work, and a job or career that is unfulfilling and stressful and into the grind of another week that leaves your stomach turning with nausea and anxiety; then this episode is for you.
Here I'm going to share 10 best practices for curing 'That Sunday Feeling' and I'm also going to take it one step further. If you have been struggling in your job, knowing that your current career is not for you, and you either know or are working to figure out what your ideal job looks like, let me help. A little later into the episode, I'll be sharing the 5 questions that will help you define your life's purpose and how to live this in your new career or dream job.

I want you to have the practical wisdom and tools to unlock your infinite potential; and to find peace and purpose on the path to awakening your authentic power. And if this helps most on a Sunday when you may be feeling a little sad or a lot anxious about your week ahead; then herein is a proposed cure. Please, allow the wisdom within each of these episodes into your heart; allow these offerings of truth to be your guide and inspiration for living a consciously-driven life, for encouraging you to live as your authentic self; and of course to use the practical tools and teachings; guiding principles and best strategies to be the new and enlightened way in which you live.
'That Sunday Feeling' can be described as an internal smoke alarm. It is meant to draw your attention to what is not quite right; of what you may be unsatisfied or unhappy with; and the low levels of sadness or despair that you feel. That gnawing feeling is a reminder for you to take action towards the change you want; even if this may seem difficult, or impossible.
'That Sunday Feeling' may highlight the jarring truth that perhaps you have not made the most of your weekend; of planning and doing what nourishes you, including what chores and household tasks are needed to help you to feel positive about being productive and organized so that you will have things in place for the week ahead. For students dreading a return to class on Monday, perhaps you've left your homework in a pile on your desk all weekend, and now your Sunday is consumed with cramming in what you've often told yourself you should have started on Saturday morning.
'That Sunday Feeling' could also be because you have to face a teacher who is unkind or unfair; or peers who bully. Perhaps you feel like an outsider in your peer group. I also work with teens who feel the anxiety and dread every Sunday evening, but also on most mornings, because of the uncomfortable and unpleasant environment which can affect their ability to study and focus.
