The Monday Scaries Actually Start on Thursday Afternoon

View show details

Lucas and Luna explore the phenomenon of anticipatory anxiety—the 'Sunday scaries' that actually begin creeping in on Thursday afternoon. They unpack research from Stanford psychologist Dr. Kelly McGonigal on how the brain's default mode network starts rehearsing Monday's stressors days in advance, and share a practical reframing technique called 'the Thursday glitch' that one tech team used to cut weekend dread by 40%. The episode also covers why most boundary-setting advice fails because it targets the wrong day of the week, and offers a three-minute journaling prompt listeners can try before leaving the office on Thursday. A specific, actionable angle on career boundaries that previous episodes have not addressed. #MondayScaries #ThursdayGlitch #AnticipatoryAnxiety #KellyMcGonigal #DefaultModeNetwork #WorkBoundaries #WeekendDread #ReframingTechnique #JournalingPrompt #Careers #WorkLifeBalance #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #StressManagement #Productivity #MentalHealthAtWork #BoundarySetting #StanfordPsychology Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
