weekending
This might sound crazy but I set my alarm this weekend to get up early. Early meaning I set it for 5:30am on Saturday and 5:00am on Sunday. The initial getting out of bed is rough. However a cup of coffee solves that problem.
I absolutely loved having a few hours in quiet. This is going to become a new thing for me. Early mornings are just something I don't want to miss especially when I leave so early all the other days of the week. I don't think I have ever been a night owl really. I like watching night become day.
So with my earlier than normal starts, I felt pretty good about this weekend. And, most importantly - I didn't get my Sunday night anxiety. Yes, the anxiety that makes itself know around 4pm every Sunday afternoon when I realize the weekend is coming to an end and I have to shift gears to the week ahead. It's something I am working on - like not over doing it on Sundays for one - and it's very real too. Rest assured though, I always get to bed early.

While I do not wish you Sunday night anxiety, it is nice to know I am not the only one. I also do not sleep well Sunday night - thoughts of upcoming deadlines etc wake me up. Here's to less anxiety and stress!
ReplyDeleteSunday night anxiety...yes, I totally get it. Especially now that I am working full-time. Like you, I get up early on weekends, too...I don't set the alarm but rather get out of bed when I wake up (which, thanks to the cats is usually around 5:30 or 6 :) I read something the other day...about fighting anxiety...every time we feel anxious, start listing those things that we are grateful for... Makes sense... Something else I'm trying to do is to prepare menus, defrost a few things for the coming week, prepare a few things ahead of time...nothing big, but some sort of healthy(ish) sustenance for my family. It helps, too.
ReplyDeleteI like your cute bicycle bag ;) sunday night anxiety here sometimes too...and I am not even working, so I don't know what my problem is, lol.
ReplyDeleteI used to cry on Sunday nites....just didn't want to go back to the work week yet...didn't have enough home time. I still feel that sometimes, but it's more about being overscheduled on a lot of things and kids activities that are lined up. I work a job Thursday and Fridays that makes a sinking feeling on Wednesday nights...I like the job, but it's just like I'm getting started doing stuff at home and there's never enough time...Trying to work on saying "NO" more next year and you know, it's not a bad thing to like being home..
