Scared of Going Back To Work?

If you felt a knot in your stomach last night, you weren’t alone. We aren’t just dealing with a normal Monday; we are dealing with what experts call the “Granddaddy of Sunday Scaries.”

According to workplace surveys, 90% of workers report genuine dread about returning to work after the holiday break. It’s not just the work; it’s the “Contrast Effect.” Your brain has to switch from “Pajamas Mode” to “Work Mode” instantly.

Here’s a few questions to ask your co-workers today, or even yourself:

What is the dumbest thing you forgot how to do after a long vacation or break? 
Were you able to take a lot of time off over the holidays, or did you not take any time? 
Are you looking forward to your next vacation?
