Passion is Contagious.

Ever wonder why we get Sunday night blues or know how it feels

For me it was like complete resistance to the weekend ending. What can I do on Sunday nights to stay up and have fun so I don’t have to think about Monday mornings?.

Sometimes I would start a movie at like 10 pm so that I can make the night last even longer.

What do you call Sunday night blues? Why do we have them? Well for me I did not like the job I was going to each day and anything I can do to make the weekend last longer.

If you are feeling this way then you way need to take a different approach to life. Maybe step out of the box and ask yourself. Why am I staying in the job that I don’t enjoy or dread? What does your body feel like when you arrive at the office?

For me I was sluggish, non energetic, bad mood, feeling of being heavy like I was carrying someone else around on my back. Arriving at the office on Monday morning always consisted of going into the break room to get coffee in hopes that I can have an extended conversation with a coworker about anything –sometimes I used to do that to kill time.

Here are a few other symptoms

Kill time at work by talking to a co worker and avoiding my work

Sunday night blues

Monday morning you would rather sleep in than get up

You walk around feeling tired and can’t figure out why because you had over 8 hours of sleep –

Feel exhausted or fatigued physically and mentally

Forgot the last time you enjoyed ...well anything

Find yourself escaping a feeling by eating more, buying more, smoking more, gambling etc

Sometimes when our bodies have had enough we walk around in what I call being numb or feeling heavy and you cant get enough sleep or find enough energy to make it through the day

1. I encourage you to listen to you bodies because they never lie

2. Find some leisure activities that you truly enjoy and love ( maybe lean on activities you did as a child)

3. Think about what it would be like to live the life you want – What would be your perfect day? Just dream.

Would you work outside with your laptop with a hot cup of coffee?

Would you go out for a run and take as long as you would like

What would that freedom taste like?


I call this living your passion.


What is the definition of passion?

For me passion is living light, with freedom, true purpose, and feeling alive. Not just doing something I love but living the life you love in all areas of your life. You just don’t have passion in your work. Once you get passion in one area of your life it is so contagious that you want it all!!!!

For me I got the passion in my love for my husband and the relationship we have. Once I felt in that area of my life I began my journey to search for what it was that I was suppose to do in this life for my career to feel alive each and everyday – I call this living your true hearts desire by following your heart and trusting. Trusting that if there is something you love so much that you would choose it for a career then trust that the universe is waiting for you to shift your energy and make the change.

I know I know. By now you guys are like yeah well what about my 6 figure salary, nice car and mortgage etc that I am not ready to give up. I am not saying quit your job tomorrow. What I am saying is be true to yourself and take the steps and find the courage to begin discovering what you really want and what makes you feel alive. Think thoughts of being true to yourself and the job you may really want. Focus on what you want to feel like.

What would passion taste like for you?

For me it’s the passion to feel alive when I coach. Coaching is what I love to do and it is what was meant for me to do. It will lead me to even more opportunities that match my soul because it is true for me.
