As you are reading this, I’m guessing you are probably just either preparing yourself for another long week of going to work or studying. I including most people have a fear of Sunday nights and this is because of Monday morning which is the most depressing day of the week.

I never knew this but there is a phobia for this called dimanchophobia believe it or not. I think we should all admit that this is one of the worst feelings on a Sunday night when you are preparing yourself for another long week.

Change your Job

However, from personal experience I found that the biggest reason for this would probably be your job as this is basically a fear of going to work. This suggests that something must be wrong with the job, so you ought to change the job as not being happy with your job is one of the biggest reasons this fear occurs.

Break some sweat

Going for a light gym session or activities such as swimming will exercise your brain and body, then a long bath will relax your muscles and ease any tension you have. Exercise will also fire the endorphins in your body which will improve your mood, so you can cheer up and you will be raring to take on Monday as you are revitalised.

Explore

Now lastly, what I recommend is to do something different such as going to another city for the weekend with the family or go for long hikes in the parks to keep in touch with nature without any distractions e.g. no mobile phones.

This is ideal as it takes your mind off work completely and it works on your brain as it tricks it into thinking that subconsciously you have done a lot of stuff over the weekend! (Disclaimer: Please don’t drown your sorrows as you will highly regret this.)

Preparation

Now this is one the most important things to do and on Friday night you should always make sure that you have completed all your tasks and up to date with everything. This should give you some room to breathe and less stress as rushing yourself with work last minute on a Sunday night is one of the worst things you can do as it will feel like your weekend went by so fast and you didn’t make the most of it.

I can assure you that this isn’t the worst phobia to have compared to what is out there and as for myself I have a phobia of spiders and I would happily change places with anyone who has a phobia for Monday’s.

Because surely is too short to hate Mondays…
