After a long vacation, many people return to work tired and exhausted rather than cheerful. This is post-holiday depression syndrome, which is associated with a sudden change in daily routine and a decrease in adrenaline levels. Dr. Stanislav Sambursky, author of the Zen channel “Ecological Psychologist”, a clinical psychologist at the Anikina Clinic, told socialbites.ca about this.
“The first step is to return to a healthy lifestyle. Get back into the habit of eating right, getting enough sleep, and exercising of any kind three times a week. This will help restore hormone balance, improve mood and energy, and strengthen the immune system. Gradually increase your workload. You should not immediately undertake complex and voluminous work after long holidays; It is important to start with tasks that require less effort and time. “This way, you will gradually get into the rhythm of working and you will not overload your brain,” he explained.
The psychologist suggested rest with a change of activity that would stimulate imagination and creativity. To enjoy your work, take breaks to read paper books, solve puzzles, or draw.
“Get back into your work rhythm with cognitive exercises. At work, playing chess and other logic games, solving crosswords and crosswords, and writing short articles on abstract topics will help. The classic task “How I spent my summer” is a vivid example of a student returning to the rhythm of study after a long break. “Performing these exercises regularly helps to stay in shape cognitively and makes it easier to return to work after the New Year’s holiday,” he emphasized.
Sambursky also recommended creating a work plan for the next month and setting priorities.
“Identify important and urgent tasks, as well as what can and cannot be delegated to others. Tackle the hardest tasks in the morning and leave the easier ones for the afternoon. If you do not want to work, allow yourself to rest and return to your duties later, having regained your strength,” the expert concluded.
