The sadness we feel every Sunday afternoon, especially after an enjoyable weekend, has been with us since we were kids and we had school on Monday, and reaches into our adult lives.
The modern term for Sunday melancholy, especially when the light begins to fall, is “Sunday Scaries” or “Sunday Blues” or as you may be accustomed to hearing “Sunday horror” or “Sunday syndrome” ».
Instead of “painting them black” and feeling even more melancholy, you can do a few things to fight the Sunday Blues.
Do all the “unpleasant” until Saturday morning
Instead of leaving all the unpleasant-but-necessary chores for Sunday, try to finish them on Friday or some other night of the week. This includes the laundry you need to put in, cleaning the house and preparing for next week’s meals. Sunday is now the day to enjoy your personal time!
Finish work on Friday and make a to-do list for Monday
Many times, the biggest source of Sunday melancholy is that on Friday we leave a lot of things pending for Monday. Deal with this problem at first by leaving your desk and emails extremely neat, with detailed notes that will make Monday morning easier.
Do not overload your schedule for the weekend
From Wednesday you start organizing your weekend. What will you do, who will you see, where will you go. But this planning must have a limit and not end up getting more tired than everyday. Try to have a plan, but leave it a little relaxed to take your time and rest.
Try not to do the job at all
There are definitely weekends where it is impossible not to be busy at all, not to reply to messages or not to prepare for next week. But when this is possible and the deadlines do not “chase” you, try to disconnect completely and not even be tempted to look at your emails.
See your weekend as a mini vacation
Most of us have a laid back attitude when it comes to painting a picture about ourselves. That is, to better clean the house, to cook new recipes, to do more exercise and more. But once in a while it’s good to try to do absolutely nothing. Become a tourist at home!
Ask yourself what causes this melancholy
You will have read many times that it is not your fault that you do not like Monday, but your job. And it is true. If you do not have something to expect for the new week, how to find meaning in your Sunday? So ask yourself what makes you most depressed at the start of the new week?
Book your Sunday in the best way
Whatever you have done over the weekend, try to complete it in a beautiful way. Put your favorite movie, order or cook your favorite food, make this face mask that you have forgotten in the drawer. Even if you had to work on the weekend, try to dedicate Sunday night to yourself.
