Lots going on in the world, but the Sunday Scaries? That’s a real thing? Not dismissing anxiety, or mocking anyone but isn’t being unemployed scarier?
I grew up poor, did not like the world I lived in so I changed it.
I went to work tired when I was raising kids, I set my alarm in the early morning hours to catch a flight, or get on the road.
I wasn’t always happy at my job, but I needed my job, I did my job. Often I was a procrastinator on tasks I disliked.
What I realized is the anxiety I experienced putting off the dreaded task made things worse. The solution was to change my attitude and complete the task and check the box.
To relieve my anxiety I learned to manage every day by making a list of the top ten things I needed to accomplish.
My list was prepared every day in order of urgency. As I checked off my top ten list throughout the day, I could visually see my progress, instantly improving my outlook.
I did not always complete the top ten, but moved them up in
ranking for the next day while adding new tasks.
So to help get rid of the Sunday Scaries, get a pen and paper and write your top ten list. Yes, hand write all ten tasks and then scratch them off!
Also, stay off social media, as the saying goes, Ignorance is bliss.
