As professional women, we often find ourselves caught in the cycle of dreading the start of a new work week. The Sunday night blues become all too familiar, and the thought of facing another week can feel daunting. But what if we could shift our perspective and reclaim our power? What if we could prioritize our own happiness and success, and experience more of what we truly desire? In this article, we'll explore the top 10 reasons why we dread Mondays and provide empowering strategies to overcome them, inviting you to make a shift towards a work week that aligns with your aspirations and deserves.
1. Anticipation of a hectic workweek ahead.
2. Unfinished tasks from the previous week lingering in your mind.
3. Transitioning from a relaxing weekend to a busy schedule.
4. Meetings or deadlines scheduled early in the week.
5. Feeling unprepared for challenges that may arise.
6. Long commute and early wake-up times.
7. Wishing for more weekend time before facing responsibilities.
8. Potential conflicts or difficult coworkers on the horizon.
9. Missing the freedom and leisure of the weekend.
10. General anxiety about the demands of the upcoming week.
BONUS… You’re starting realizing none of that is truly “Prioritizing You”
I invite you to make a shift… and that always begins with our thinking and soon our actions and expereinces will follow.
Your success should be more of what you want and less of what you dread.

Only a few days left to say YES to the VIP Retreat!
I realize for most, attending will mean taking Thurs and Fri off. Many will see that as a reason to decline. We often talk ourselves out of opportunities to prioritize ourselves when doing so means taking a day or two off work and away from home.
I want to confirm taking both days off will be necessary - especially if you're traveling to the Charlotte, NC area. Instead of viewing it as a hardship, consider it an investment in yourself.
We will start with the Meet & Greet Kickofff on Thursday evening so we do recommend arriving mid-day so you can get settled in. I personally enjoy a few extra minutes to unwind when I travel. We'll wrap-up the retreat on Sunday at noon, so you'll be on your way home Sunday afternoon.
In the grand scheme of things, the amount of time away isn't as much as we sometimes convince ourselves. Nor is it the inconvenience we assume it will be on others in our life to step in while we are away. We are worth whatever it takes for them to cover what we normally take on.
It's a long weekend spent focusing on someone very important...YOU. Let's keep it real – you deserve a break, a breather, and a boost!

We've intentionally planned the weekend's schedule to include time for you to work, play, rest, and dream. It will be a safe space where we'll be pouring into you the entire time. This refreshing will shift the mundane, erase the blockers and set you free to soar.
This is about you learning to prioritize yourself. Listen, they will figure it out for those few days. Learn more at www.VIPRetreat.live
