The Sunday Feeling: Dread of Work

At Baldwin Therapy, we often hear people talk about the familiar sense of dread that appears on Sunday evenings — the quiet anxiety about returning to work after time away, particularly following the Christmas holidays.

This feeling isn’t a personal failing. It’s a psychological response. During time off, our nervous system shifts out of high alert. We rest more, connect more, and step away from constant demands. As Sunday approaches, the brain begins to anticipate responsibility, expectations, and structure again. This anticipatory stress can trigger unease, low mood, or a sense of heaviness.

The contrast between rest and routine can feel especially sharp after Christmas, when emotional, social, and physical energy has already been stretched.

What can help?

🧠 Name the feeling
Saying “this is the Sunday feeling” helps the brain make sense of the experience and reduces emotional intensity.

🕯️ Create a calm Sunday evening
Choose one grounding ritual — a walk, a bath, quiet time, or journaling — to signal safety to your nervous system.

📝 Unload your thoughts
Write down worries or tasks for Monday. This reduces mental overload and allows the mind to rest.

⏳ Ease your return
You don’t need to perform at full capacity straight away. Transitions require gentleness, not pressure.

🌱 Pay attention to patterns
If this dread appears every Sunday, it may be worth reflecting on what your mind and body are trying to tell you about balance, boundaries, or support.

At Baldwin Therapy, we believe listening to these signals — rather than pushing them away — is an important part of emotional wellbeing.

Be kind to yourself. Feeling unsettled doesn’t mean you dislike your job or that something is wrong. It means you’re human, and you’re adjusting.

🧠 Why New Year’s Resolutions Often Don’t Work (and What Actually Helps)

As a therapist, I often see people come into January feeling pressure to “fix” themselves overnight — motivated by shoulds (“I should exercise more”, “I should be less anxious”), and by a belief that a new year can magically make change easier. 

But here’s the thing:

❗ Resolutions fail because they’re usually built on unrealistic pressure, vague goals, and the idea that change must happen instantly. 
Our brains aren’t wired for dramatic overnight transformation. They change through small, consistent, repeatable actions — not grand declarations. 

✨ What I see work MUCH better:

🌿 Shift from resolutions to intentions
Instead of “I must transform,” try “I want to nurture stability in my life”. This feels more compassionate and sustainable. 

🪄 Break big goals into tiny steps
Small habits build momentum and strengthen neural pathways over time — it’s not about perfection, it’s about consistency. 

📅 Focus on values, not outcomes
Ask yourself — what kind of person do I want to be? Goals tied to values stick longer than arbitrary targets. 

🧘‍♀️ Expect discomfort and setbacks
Change is nonlinear. Planning for obstacles (and giving yourself grace) makes you more likely to keep going. 

💬 Remember: change doesn’t start Jan 1 — it starts when you’re ready!
