How I use my hobonichi weeks to navigate the Sunday Scaries as someone with ADHD

Hello, friends! I hope you’re doing well. Today’s video will focus on how I deal with the Sunday Scaries—you know, that pit in your stomach that gets worse throughout the weekend and hits its peak on Sunday night. I’ll talk about how I recognized the signs, how I used my Health and Wellness Hobonichi Weeks to reflect on what brought on those feelings and what I did to work through it. Have you ever experienced the Sunday Scaries? If so, how did you navigate them? I’d love to hear what worked for you in the comments below! References American Psychological Association [APA].
