I recently started a new job which I enjoy. However, the normal new job anxiety I have always is magnified and creeps in late Sunday into Monday. I get sad thinking about the just past weekend and all the fun (and boring) things I did. I need a way to remove this sadness I always seem to get. I'm going to try your techniques now. Thanks again!

I wanted to free flow my energy instead of getting to strict about my time. My lack of focus prevented me from getting serious work done. I should talk more about planning on this blog. Thanks!

Co-workers are so great at lifting our spirits. Just something special about sharing coffee, tea, or chocolate with some friends to help us feel good and connected.

Just seeing "frog-genital" as one word was awesome. By creating ways to let go we have an easier time moving on. Thanks for the insight. Hi Chris, Your comment made me laugh.

We need to see how to step back from our emotions so we gain perspective. I like to think of it as the hug, love and release method. We need to Hug it, Love it, Then let it go. This is easy to forget, but needed in our lives. I love your concept of Goal, Visualize and Do. Very straight forward and easy to use. Thanks. Hi Rob, Visualization is very important.

Many days this isn't easy, but as long as we keep trying we eventually start feeling good again. Thanks for stopping by Megan.

We throw fuel in the fire and we can't let go. It's all about non-resistance to what is and work is much easier to enjoy. Hi Richard, It’s surprising how we do energize our negative thoughts.

If everyday is a workday then there are no Mondays. Brilliant. Just remember to take time every day to decompress and relax yourself. Even if you love what you do your body still needs down time.

I hear you on that one. Although there is usually something else to complain about (i.e. weather or difficult people) so it's up to us to find the right perspective that helps us connect with the joy.
