The secrets to no longer experiencing Sunday night blues
Since I am always in new places and have something to explore, Sundays nights have become more pleased
For years, I used to dread Sundays. Whether during my school days, college years, or even when I had my dream job, I vividly remember feeling moody or down by Sunday evenings.
That feeling would inevitably appear no matter how much I loved what I was doing or if I was in a pleasing companion. It's like a universal thing, just like the Monday morning blues.
Lately, I've noticed that it doesn't bother me as much, even before I became a digital nomad. It wasn't something I planned, but looking back I realized when it all started and what I've been doing differently. So, I wanted to share.
Curious enough, the pandemic played a role in this change. As I mentioned in the last edition:
The pandemic made me realize I couldn't stand living in the same place and doing the same things anymore.
Once things started returning to normal, I decided to keep moving and make the most of my free time. I still enjoy some rest at home, but only for a few hours. I've become determined to make weekends active. I keep my day packed with activities by going to restaurants and bars, taking walks, attending parties, discovering unusual events, and watching a late Sunday movie. And, all of a sudden, the Sunday is over, I'm feeling tired, it's time to sleep, and the Sunday blues dissipated.
Homebodies may deal with Sunday night blues more easily. My problem is that I used to spend many Sundays at home, but I realized that I am not that type of person. Being a nomad now amplifies the possibility of discoveries. Since I am always in new places, I always have something to explore, Sundays are always exciting.
I enjoy having my space and being alone, but I admit that being in good company helps avoid the Sunday night blues even more, so I always aim for a mix.
Wishing everyone a good Sunday next week.
Since we're talking about days, I wrote at the beginning of the year that I no longer hated Monday mornings. At that time, I had just quit my job and was organizing my new life. I adopted the "bare minimum Monday" before it became a trend on TikTok.
Now, with a remote fixed job, I have a routine again for Mondays. The good news is that I still don't hate Monday mornings. Living the lifestyle I dreamed of, with a job that allows it, are great allies.
If one day I start hating Monday mornings again or frequently feel the Sunday night blues, I'll recalculate my path.
