5 . Soothe the Sunday scaries

Most of us look forward to the weekend as a time to relax, connect with friends and family, and deal with tasks from a to-do list that gets neglected during the workweek. But as the weekend comes to an end, many are missing out on Sunday Funday and instead experiencing an overwhelming sense of anxiety and even dread about the upcoming week.     1     Some people describe it as a heaviness they can feel in their body, while others feel so unsettled that they could jump out of their skin.

Even though the Sunday scaries are common, they are manageable. Here’s how experts say you can ease your end-of-weekend anxiety.

Structure your Sunday.     2     You might still go through that sense of dread, but that feeling is harder to hold on to when you’ re engaging in something that makes you feel good.

Don’t forget to relax. If you’re feeling more stress, it’s important to make space for relaxing activities to ground yourself. Maybe a midafternoon shower or bath, maybe an engaging movie or show, whatever feels like a helpful distraction to reground from the scaries.

Identify your anxiety sources. Try to figure out what’s really causing you to dread the week.     3     Even if there’s not a single reason behind your Sunday anxiety, organizing the stress into small parts can help make it all more manageable.

    4     Getting rid of the Sunday scaries isn’t just about minimizing the gloom of the week ahead. Have something to look forward to. This gives you the opportunity to shift your thoughts to fun and will help improve your mood.

End your Sunday with the right energy. Sunday night is a proper wind-down time. Maybe you want to journal, do a face mask, read a few pages of a good book. Do your best to honor this time and make Sunday night all about you.     5    

A．Is it a deadline, meeting or presentation?

B．Create some excitement for the week ahead.

C．Experts have referred to this worry as Sunday scaries.

D．Sunday scaries come from tiredness after a really busy weekend.

E．Then you feel empowered and confident that you’ll be ready for the next day.

F．Instead of sitting on the couch and watching the clock, go to do something that you enjoy.

G．Anxiety is a natural response that happens in preparation for anything that causes pain or discomfort.

10 . Last year, I started to learn improv (即兴表演), the art of performing comedy without a script (剧本),which helped fight my anxiety both onstage and in daily life.     1     For example, it can increase creativity and acceptance of uncertainty. Here are three rules that can not only be used in improv but also in daily life.

Rule 1: Yes, and

When you’re on stage and your partner says, “Congratulations on opening this book shop,” don’t say, “We’re not in a book shop, we’re at my pet shop.”    2     Instead, you should say “Yes, and do you want to have a look?”

In life, we often say no to new ideas because of uncertainty. But the idea of “Yes, and,” gives us a moment to listen and create something new from what is offered.

Rule 2: Accept mistakes

If you do something you didn’t mean to do — for example, you mispronounced a word - you can’t stop to do a retake. You have to find some humor and continue on. To me, I would make the mispronunciation part of my role’s quirks (怪癖).

Mistakes can bring us shame and embarrassment. But if we accept them, we’re less likely to keep thinking about them. Ask yourself, was that mistake really the end of the world?     3    

Rule 3:     4    

Your identity, experiences and view on life can be integrated (融入) in your performance. For example, Sajid, a South Asian, has to play an elder person. She will never act weak or forgettable as most actors do to make audience laugh, she says. In her culture, elders are respectable - so she will show what they are truly like in her community.     5    

Being yourself can add value to your performance and your life. Allow yourself to be yourself and remind yourself that your voice matters.

A．Stay true to yourself.

B．Show your creativity.

C．Just like in improv and in everyday life, it’s usually not.

D．In this way you can-avoid mistakes in the future performance.

E．This way of acting is usually understood and liked by the audience.

F．That would make it hard for your partner to continue the performance.

G．Actually there are many other mental health benefits of performing this art.
