In fact, this is a common situation, after long holidays, many people fall into a state of lethargy and lack the motivation to return to the rhythm of daily life. This is not only a temporary feeling but can also become a syndrome that affects work performance and mental health if not adjusted in time.
Another friend said: "Usually I go to bed at 11 am, but during the holidays, I stay up to watch the film until 2-3 am, sleep until noon. Now I have to wake up at 6am to go back to work and really don't want to".
manifestations such as boredom, lethargy, lack of concentration, and prolonged fatigue after the holidays are called "post-vacation depression".
Psychological experts say that this is a common psychological state and can appear in people due to causes such as: when on vacation, people can experience interesting and new experiences. However, when returning to everyday life, the body no longer releases dopamine hormone, causing a sense of happiness and excitement. This makes many people feel depressed, tired and lost interest in life and work. At the same time, psychology remember the good memories during the vacation without worrying about work and family responsibility. The beautiful memories in this holiday make many people feel sad and regretful to remember.
Not only the psychological factor, irregular activities during the holidays - such as sleeping too much, staying up late, eating too much or drinking alcohol - also cause the body to be tired for a long time, making it difficult to regain the normal pace of life and work.
Therefore, to "revive" the spirit after the holidays, the first important thing is to prepare the mindset of returning to work in advance. The advice is: Don't have fun until the last night of the holiday. Spend at least an evening planning for your upcoming work, thinking about what to do on your first day back.
Some other things that also help avoid lethargy after the holidays are: Going to bed early, waking up on time, eating breakfast fully and wearing neat clothes are also ways to help awaken positive energy on the first day off work. Another small but effective tip is to write 5-10 simple tasks that need to be solved on paper in a day. When you start doing each task, your energy and enthusiasm will gradually return.
Loss after the holidays is a normal emotion, but if adjusted properly, each person can quickly regain their form and get to work right away. Let's consider each vacation as a stop to fuel the journey ahead. That is the value of the holiday, not the state of collective lethargy when returning to normal work.
