     Heading to work!

     Post-holiday syndrome


     After indulging in a long vacation, many people face the fear of returning to work, lamenting that the holiday is over. They may feel disoriented and experience difficulty in waking up and a sense of physical and mental exhaustion. They may feel more tired than usual, have trouble concentrating, lose interest in activities, and even experience irritability, anxiety, or occupational burnout. This is known as "post-holiday syndrome," and some individuals start worrying about it even before their vacation begins.

    Causes of post-holiday syndrome

    The fundamental reason is the disruption of the usual biological clock due to changes in daily routines and the relaxation during the holiday period. With more free time, the pace becomes less hectic, leading to a sense of rare relaxation. People become engrossed in watching TV, surfing the internet, attending parties, and traveling, often staying up late on New Year's Eve. As a result, rest time actually decreases, sleep patterns and regularity are disturbed, and the body's internal clock is disrupted.

    Unreasonable eating habits during the holiday period, including overeating and excessive consumption of alcohol and tobacco, can lead to imbalanced nutrition, excessive strain on organs, and disrupted organ functions. This can also contribute to a significant increase in body weight.

   Lack of physical activity, combined with the rarity of relaxation, leads to late bedtimes and oversleeping, as well as busyness with social visits, leaving little time and energy for adequate exercise.


   How to relieve post-holiday syndrome

  1. Give yourself a buffer period:
Start adjusting your sleep schedule gradually during the holiday period. On the last day of the vacation, consciously engage in activities related to work, such as reading newspapers or contemplating work-related matters. This can help transition out of the relaxed and lazy state.

  2. Learn to shift your focus:
Before going back to work, allocate some time to contemplate the tasks and responsibilities that await. At the beginning of work, pay attention to a smooth psychological transition and learn to shift your focus to daily work and life responsibilities.

  3. Engage in moderate physical activity:
Learn self-regulation and engage in moderate physical activities to enrich your leisure time and quickly restore your normal routine. Aim for one session of 20-30 minutes of exercise per day, ensuring that fatigue dissipates within 10-20 minutes afterward. If faced with heavy air pollution, outdoor activities should be avoided. Instead, indoor activities or household chores can also serve as effective alternatives for exercise.

  4. Ensure sleep to alleviate fatigue:
Try to relax both mentally and physically before bedtime. This can be achieved through activities such as soaking your feet in warm water, lightly massaging the head, taking a leisurely walk, or listening to soothing music. Create a favorable sleep environment, regulate sleep patterns, alleviate fatigue, and strive to rest early. Lie down at a fixed time, avoid eating and drinking large amounts of water half an hour before sleep, and use the restroom before bedtime to avoid interruptions during the night.

  5. Maintain a light diet and drink plenty of water:
Start your day by drinking a glass of warm water on an empty stomach to promote metabolism. Adhere to the principles of "less salt, less oil" in your diet, consume small meals that are soft and easily digestible to help the stomach and intestines recover normal function. Additionally, choose foods that facilitate the elimination of toxins, such as hawthorn, konjac, black fungus, kelp, pig blood, Chinese yam, apples, strawberries, honey, and brown rice. These foods help nourish the stomach and promote detoxification. Supplementing with a cup of yogurt around 3 p.m. each day can assist in restoring balance to gut bacteria. Drinking red or green tea can help clear the greasy feeling in the stomach and intestines. Drinking chrysanthemum tea or honeysuckle tea not only has a refreshing taste but also clears heat and generates body fluids, aiding in the quick recovery of the gastrointestinal tract.

  6. Maintain a positive mindset:
Everyone has an inner dialogue with themselves, and regardless of whether it is positive or negative, our inner selves automatically accept and record it, ultimately influencing our emotions, attitudes, and behaviors when facing similar situations. Therefore, in order to work and live happily, please provide yourself with positive mental suggestions.
