That anxious feeling that creeps in on Sunday evenings — often called the “Sunday Scaries” — isn’t just in your head.
It’s your nervous system anticipating stress before it even happens.
When your body has been running in a heightened state all week, it learns to expect pressure, deadlines, and constant stimulation. By the time Sunday rolls around, your brain is already bracing for the next wave — even if nothing stressful has happened yet.
That’s called anticipatory stress, and it’s a sign your nervous system hasn’t fully shifted out of “go” mode.
Supporting your nervous system through chiropractic care helps retrain that pattern — restoring the balance between action and recovery.
