Monday Morning Scaries
Do you ever experience a feeling of dread, anxiety, or sadness on Sundays maybe around 4-5 pm? You've been enjoying a nice weekend and then the reality of Monday morning just hours away hits you.
This used to happen to me ALL THE TIME!
I would be enjoying time with my family and friends, whether it was at the pool, a local restaurant, my kids’ sporting events, or just hanging out at a house with friends. When late afternoon came like clockwork, I would get a pit in my stomach, my chest would get tight, and then I was no longer fully present with whatever it was I was doing. These feelings robbed me of another solid 4-5 hours of enjoying whatever I was doing.
I was turning 40 and I was BURNT OUT.
It wasn't that I disliked my career.. I very much enjoyed helping people reach their financial dreams and loved the people I worked with. What I was beginning to despise and resent was that I felt like my time was no longer mine during the week ( some weekends if something came up that needed to be addressed). I was at the mercy of when I was "supposed" to be working. This meant most mornings leaving the house by 5:30 am to beat a 90-minute commute. Leaving this early got me there in 50. I would get home after picking the kids up from after-school care around 6 pm, then dinner, then bedtime routines. I had about 2 hours with my children most days. I felt something in my body had to change. That's when I found Life Coaching. My coach was a GAME CHANGER. My entire perspective changed and then eventually so did my lifestyle.
That's when it hit me. I thought Michelle, your passion is about helping people and there are others who need your help in changing their lifestyles. People who want to create a Life by Design just like I did. People who are eager to make the most of their time and enjoy it.
Fast forward 6 years ( yup, I turned 46 this year woot woot), and for the last several years I have been helping women create a life on their terms, a life by their own design. It's truly been such a blessing to see people transform and go from burnout to peace.
Mondays are now one of my favorite days of the week. I call them ME Mondays. I get to spend them however the heck I want. After busy but fun weekends, I now welcome Monday mornings. No more Monday scaries on Sunday evenings.
