Weekend Check-In: The Monday Dreads

Why do so many people start suffering for Monday before Monday even arrives?

In this Taoist Check-In, we explore the familiar feeling of Sunday dread and the habit of mentally living in the future before it happens. From work stress and unfinished tasks to the simple fear of another busy week, the mind often turns tomorrow into a problem long before tomorrow gets here.

Drawing from Taoist principles, this episode looks at the difference between responsibility and resistance, why anticipatory suffering drains so much energy, and how returning to the reality of the present moment can change your relationship with the week ahead.

A practical reflection on anxiety, attention, and learning to stop carrying tomorrow before it's time.
