Sunday Blues

I lost a lot of Sundays to Sunday Blues. ⁣⁣⁣
😢⁣⁣⁣
For years it was my only day off each week… and I was so afraid of squandering it that I’d sit motionless on my couch, thinking about all the things I could (or should) do… and doing none of them. ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
I’d watch the time tick by, counting down the hours until I had to be back at work… and with each passing hour my anxiety would grow… ⏰⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
And forget about getting a good night’s sleep on a Sunday night… never happened. ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
The result: ➡️ MONDAY MADNESS⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣

Let’s be honest- Mondays are usually a little crazy in the veterinary world… but when you add Peak Anxiety and No Sleep… they are hell.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Nobody wants that kind of job (or life)!⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
But here’s the thing… ⁣⁣⁣
👉🏻The problem wasn’t the job.⁣⁣⁣
👉🏻The problem wasn’t the clients.⁣⁣⁣
👉🏻The problem wasn’t my boss or co-workers.⁣⁣⁣
👉🏻The problem wasn’t even the lack of sleep.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
😳 The problem was my inability to separate who I was as a person & veterinarian from outcomes of my cases and the way other people behaved. ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
😥 The problem was the false belief I had created that my value was only intact when all patients got better, all clients were happy, and all coworkers got along. ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
I KNOW I’M NOT ALONE!⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
🐾 Guys, this is no way to live! ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Unmanaged, misunderstood anxiety is killing our profession… because we don’t have the tools we need to deal! ⁣⁣⁣
