does anyone else get that sinking feeling on a sunday evening? it's like the weekend is slipping away and the thought of monday looms large. for me, it’s a mix of anxiety and a bit of sadness. i've tried a few things to make it better, like planning something fun for monday evenings or doing a bit of yoga before bed. does anyone have other tips or tricks that work for them? would love to hear how you all handle it. 😊

Absolutely get where you're coming from! Sunday evenings can feel like a mini countdown to reality. One thing that’s helped me is creating a little Sunday night ritual. I usually set aside some time to do something I love, like reading a book or listening to my favorite podcast. It’s a nice way to wind down and shift focus away from the Monday blues. Also, prepping for the week ahead, like planning outfits or meals, can sometimes ease that anxious feeling. It makes Monday feel a bit more manageable. Hope you find something that works for you! 😊

Totally feel you on the Sunday night blues! It’s like the weekend just flies by, right? One thing that’s really helped me is turning Sunday evenings into a “me-time” moment. I like to dive into a hobby I enjoy, whether it’s sketching or trying out a new recipe. It gives me something to look forward to and takes my mind off the looming week. Also, a bit of journaling can be super helpful to clear your thoughts and set positive intentions for the week. Hope you find a little ritual that makes Sundays feel less daunting! 😊

That Sunday evening feeling is so real — you’re definitely not alone in that. I’ve found that sometimes just giving myself permission to fully enjoy Sunday afternoon, without rushing into “getting ready for Monday,” helps a bit. Like, really soaking in the moment, whether it’s a walk outside or a favorite snack. It makes the evening feel less like a countdown and more like a gentle close to the weekend.

Also, I like the idea of planning something small but meaningful for Monday evenings, like you mentioned. Sometimes even a simple call with a friend or a favorite show can give Monday something to look forward to. Pairing that with some chill time on Sunday night, like @SunnyLifestyle’s podcast idea, can really help ease the shift.
