1 minute, you’re experiencing the glorious sun, white sand and surf of Mexico holidays and the next; you are back in the office, sat in front of your PC with a heaving email inbox to sort through. Yes, coming back from a holiday can be quite depressing. But this can be avoided! Follow these tips to make sure returning to your desk doesn’t feel like the end of the world.
Unpack straight away: Constantly seeing an unpacked suitcase will act as a constant reminder of what once was…
Go outside Exposure to the sun is one of the main reasons we feel so rejuvenated whilst away on holiday. On a work day, you could try eating your food outside at lunch time for a great vitamin D boost!
De-clutter your home: Living out of a suitcase for a while can make your home seem cluttered upon your return. Try having a clear of all those things you could really do without for a happier mindset.
Make a few modest changes: Experimenting with new things is said to be almost as great as a holiday! Try a new variety of tea or a new route to work.
Don’t return to work on a Monday: If you can, then book off the Monday of the week your return as part of your holiday. Everyone knows that Monday is the worst day of the week and a four day week will ease you back into the working regime.
Prioritise your work load Believe it or not, others WILL understand that not everything will get completed on the first day of your return to the office! You should first sort out the most important tasks.
Book your next holiday: Especially because the tropical sky of Maldives or Thailand holidays will be waiting for you on the advent of your next holiday and booking will give your something to look forward to an work towards.
