With hope, most of Career Counseling Connecticut’s readers are enjoying a long holiday.
Some of my Christmas cards are from past clients who came to Career Counseling Connecticut feeling miserable about their careers and now feel good-great.
Google “Sunday anxiety” and you may be surprised by the sheer volume of articles addressing work dread. I remember mine vividly. I was a happily married, young father. But my weekends immersed in domestic bliss would be interrupted -in my mind – by the Sunday blues. Like most, these started creeping in during the afternoon and I’d start to feel anxious around dinner time. If you told me then that I would often be eager to get to work on Monday, I would have thought you a delusional or exceptionally lucky type as it seemed that most everyone I knew experienced something similar. Later, I understood that this was a function of being an attorney!
Post vacation anxiety is even worse. Indeed, the number of inquiries Career Counseling Connecticut receives during the sleep week between Christmas and New Year’s is stunning. “I’m dreading going back to work in 2023….” The variety of e-mails that start this way is sad.
But our work is to offer hope.
