I’ve come to accept the Monday morning blues as something that is normal. I am though starting to think that there is something else behind why I find I am affected by them in such an extreme way.

OK, so I know I don’t have ovaries, but this is me on a nightly basis.

I think the time has come for a change.

The stress, worry and chore that working with my current employer adds to my other worries is draining me. It’s adding to my Monday morning blues. I realise this, I accept this, but I feel that I don’t need it.

Since Christmas, I have been updating my CV (Professional Profile/Resume). It’s normal for me to update my CV at least once a year. This year I have put more effort into restyling and updating my CV, including linking all my “Business Me” social media and creating a portfolio website.

I think, deep down inside, that I have realised that I’m not trapped, my health is OK, finding a new role isn’t impossible. It’s time to move on.

It’s time to move on.

My next challenge is to take the leap and contact some recruiters, that’s going to be the real challenge as I struggle with belief in myself. Professionally I know I’m good at what I do, I know my value, but I honestly struggle to believe it.

Writing about these Monday Morning Blues is/has helped me put words to how I’m thinking/feeling. I’m going to discuss this with my therapist later.
