It’s Sunday and you notice that familiar feeling of dread washing over you, one that seems to visit you every week. It always kicks off in the same way, once you realise the weekend is coming to an end, and you have to face the idea of gearing up for another week at work. Your stomach is in knots, worries circling round in your head as you think to yourself, “I don’t want to go to work tomorrow”.
