    Defeating the Sunday Scaries

    Miglior citazione da Defeating the Sunday Scaries

    “

    The Sunday scaries are a form of anticipatory stress where your brain predicts Monday's demands and activates your stress response early. By creating intentional transition rituals and reframing Monday as a fresh start rather than a threat, you can reclaim your weekend and work with your biology instead of against it.
