Are those Sunday evening jitters taking over your weekend? 

Here's what this episode reveals about the "Sunday Scaries":

• The Sunday Scaries are a form of anxiety that often affects educators and other professionals, typically appearing as the weekend winds down and work thoughts creep in.
• This anxiety isn't necessarily a sign of job dissatisfaction or burnout - it's often just your brain's protective mechanism dramatizing potential challenges ahead.
• As school leaders, principals play a crucial role in setting the tone for their buildings. Instead of joining the "I hate Mondays" chorus, they should model optimism without falling into toxic positivity.
• The podcast presents four concrete strategies to overcome these feelings, focusing on preparation, routines, and mindset shifts that can transform how leaders approach their work week.
• The key takeaway: While uncertainty is inevitable in education, leaders can bring certainty through their approach and mindset choices, influencing not just their own experience but their entire school community.
