Reclaiming the rhythm of life with small but certain steps
The long holiday is like a time to "escape from the race", giving us time to be with family, breathe relaxally and live slowly. Because of a full break, when returning to the office, many people feel lethargic, lack of concentration, and even bored in front of a high-duty thu box.
The civil servant needs time to transition from a relaxed state to a working state, says psychologist Amelia Johnson, University of Leeds Mental Health Center (UK). Squeezing yourself into a dike rope immediately only increases the stress".
She recommends starting with small things: Relocate your desks, check your emails in priority groups, spend 15 - 20 minutes on your tasks list before really rushing in. These steps help the brain regain control, instead of being surrounded by information.
Maintain family life rhythm to avoid being too much
One of the reasons why many people return to work tiredly is because they forget the rhythm of family life. Being late to deal with backlogs, brisk eating, and not having time to talk to relatives can easily reduce your spirit.
According to Dr. Johnson, maintaining the family's familiar lifestyle after the holidays is a lifeline to fight stress. She emphasized: "There is no need to try to make everything perfect on the first day. Divide your work into small milestones, go home on time and let yourself cool down."
Some families also apply the "30-minute rule", spending the first half hour after coming home just to rest or have a light conversation, avoiding immediately rushing into cleaning or handling personal matters. This helps to feel comfortable, maintain connection after the holidays, and avoid feeling disappointed when returning to the fast pace of urban life.
In the end, returning to the studio is not a speed race. It is a journey to adjust the pace of life to harmonize family and work. Just relax and move forward, maintain the basic values in family life, you will see natural productivity return, not rushing, not exhausted.
