6 day working week
Are you physically working 5 days a week but mentally working 6 days!?
Most people look forward to the weekend and usually enjoy Saturday, however, when it comes to Sunday, especially in the afternoon, people are thinking about Monday and that they have to go back to work.
Physically they are off work and have a potential 24 hours left before they need to start work again but mentally they are at work with simulations of the work environment, the emails that need sending, the difficult conversations, the meetings. The body reacts to what the mind shows and says to it so even though it’s not physically at work the body creates feelings as if they are actually there.
The ‘day of rest’ is an extra work day and robbing people of time earned with family, friends, essentially time off work.
If you are feeling negative or anxious on a Sunday, recognise what is going on in your mind, then when you can see or hear what the body is reacting to, you can change it.
If you’re struggling to recognise the simulations creating negativity then just create new ones. Imagine it’s Saturday or that you’re on holiday for another week. Change your external environment with distraction by putting on music that you like, a film or going for a walk. Sitting in your thoughts about work and letting them take control is going to rob you of your last day off.
