🤬 MONDAY, UGH! I hate Mondays! Wait...no I don't! I LOVE MONDAYS! 🤗

In the latest episode of the Cafe Grit podcast, I talk about my Monday blues and how the beginning of the work week has gone from zero to hero.

Some of you out there are getting sick to your stomach just hearing the "M" word. 🤮

That was me too, not long ago ago.

Sunday afternoon was when the physical symptoms of chronic stress would start.

↳ The stomach would tighten.

↳ I would get nauseated thinking about work.

↳ I had difficulty staying asleep throughout the night.

↳ I woke up with a sore jaw from clenching my teeth.

Every night I journaled about the job I wanted and tried to visualize a time when I no longer feared Mondays. What would that even feel like?

I could barely imagine. I had been fearing Mondays for over a decade of my 23 years working in corporate and consulting.
