Episode #113 Sunday Night Dreads

December 9, 2021

How do you feel on a Sunday evening?

If you frequently feel like you’re dreading the start of the working week, there’s a problem.

Getting the Sunday ‘dreads’ is a sign that your Imposter Syndrome has been triggered. Perhaps you’re thinking about all the things you should have done but haven’t? Perhaps you’re worrying because you don’t know what’s coming in the week ahead – or feel insecure about your ability to cope with any challenges that may arise?

But the problem isn’t really with what’s coming – or what you haven’t done, it’s with how you are thinking about you and what you are making it mean.
