  2. Put on your favorite music list to go to work. And even you can share with a colleague some new great song you’ve ever heard.
  3. Afterwork. Take the opportunity to socialize or a pleasurable activity after work and go to the gym or left for a beer with that friend who always say “We have to take a stick” and never reaches the day.
  4. Rely on family or friends. It sounds like a cliché, but it is worth your situation to tell relatives or close friends. It is likely that they will encourage or facilitate you the ability to disconnect. If your family does not know that you get stressed about this situation and over the Sunday night you propose other stressful activities also will not help to alleviate the first.
  5. If the internal pain and anxiety by this continuous fact, consultation with a professional. It is the best way to accurately diagnose and begin treatment more appropriate as the case, as it may not be caused by the fact that Monday and this alone is a more instigator of anxiety and need for greater control.

After Monday, it is on Tuesday. Do not be put off by negative thoughts and face it responsibly.
