Sunday moping: why we are sad at the weekend. Part 2

How to stop moping?
If every Sunday without exception is filled with sadness, worry, tension, it is important to understand what is going on inside us.

1. Understand the reasons for moping
If unpleasant feelings are associated with the beginning of a new work week, we may have reason to be dissatisfied with our professional sphere, work duties or constant stress.

In this case, it makes sense to think about whether we are satisfied with our work, and to reassess our priorities in relation to our professional and private responsibilities, trying to free up a little more time for our own interests. If, on the contrary, the moping is caused by dissatisfaction with oneself or personal relationships, it is necessary to "blow off steam", to let the negative emotions out and try to determine their nature.

2. Find ways to fill the emptiness
Take more time for your hobbies, improve your skills in an interesting activity, postpone to Sunday those entertainments that you usually do on Saturdays...

If the reason is in a relationship with your partner or family, it is worth to evaluate the current situation and revise some of your habits. Perhaps this will be the starting point for change in your personal life and bring you closer to a sense of satisfaction.
