If You Dread Sunday Evenings, the Problem Isn't Monday — It's the Job

A knot in your stomach every Sunday night is not a normal part of adult life. Some stress before a busy week is natural, but persistent dread is your body telling you something your mind might be avoiding. Pay attention to what specifically you're dreading -- is it a toxic boss, meaningless work, or a role that doesn't fit? The answer points to what needs to change. You don't have to quit tomorrow, but you do owe it to yourself to stop treating chronic dread as just «how things are».
