How to make yourself work after a long break

A good thing is vacation. You can lie in bed for half a day, and then lazily drink coffee under the news and think about going out today, or without bread, you can live a day. Or take a ticket and wave somewhere far away, where the chief will not call to immediately solve some archival problem right now, and where one does not have to take care of "daily bread" in the form of preparing breakfast-lunch-dinner, their and so we will serve. But the vacation is so fleeting that just now we have a whole month of rest and nothing to do, and everything is already dramatic: life is over and tomorrow we have to work. How to force yourself to work after a long break?

And it seems as if they had a good rest during the holiday, and the forces podnakopili, and it would be possible to turn mountains with such forces, turn the river back ... Only when I came to my native office and seeing my desk with a pile of papers and a dusty monitor, understand - I do not want, and I can not. You put a lot of mental energy to adjust yourself to the working mood, you start to do something diligently for 5 minutes, 10 and 15. And then you realize that your neck and back are stuck, your pen has disappeared (and it just happened that next, well, that was right there), colleagues are talking on the phone as if they are trying to shout to Mars, the whole office looks ugly and sullen and you want to immediately escape from here, although before you leave for vacation everything was just fine.

Know ourselves? Congratulations, you became a victim of post-stroke syndrome. And the phenomenon is not so rare: they suffer about half of all working. This manifests itself in the form of stress, irritation, an incomprehensible sense of anxiety and nervousness. This syndrome causes frequent headaches, pains in the chest, causes insomnia, and with its presence, the most basic, absolutely do not want to work! And do not want to such an extent that the American researchers even calculated: approximately 80% of all applications for care are written after the holidays, when a person returns to work and understands - it is urgent to change something right now.

Although not all suffer from this syndrome. Some try to extend the time of leave, and go to the sick leave, or to an additional vacation at their own expense.

Well, the most conscious ex-holidaymakers are trying to correct this situation, and help themselves overcome both a decline in efficiency, and a deterioration in health and mood.

According to psychologists, this syndrome appears in people because of the following reasons:

During the holiday a person absolutely ceases to adhere to a certain rhythm, goes to bed deeply after midnight and rises when the workers have already managed to even make a lunch break.

Fans of extreme types of rest manage to get tired during the holiday so that their body simply requires a period of rest and sleep.

During the holiday, it was a habit to do everything slowly, "with laziness," and the body lost the habit of "tossing" around the apartment at half past seven in search of clothes.

Also, a person has time to get used to choosing independently - what to do first of all, and what can be quietly postponed for later. With the access to work this freedom of choice is lost in him - there is something that needs to be done and done right now.

Well, after the holiday, a person starts to clearly understand that he does not like his work, he does not get any satisfaction from it, and so he does not have "legs" either.

So, in order to protect yourself from getting post-vaccination syndrome, you should spend your vacation in such a way as to minimize your usual rhythm at a minimum (it does not go to bed well very late, and get up an hour or two later from normal time, and not at sunset). In case you are leaving somewhere, do not go to work immediately upon return, calculate the date of your return so that you still have a day or two to rest and restore. Well, the day before you go to work, try to "go down to earth" and read corporate news, refresh some of the data that you worked with before you leave for vacation, contact your colleagues and ask what new happened in your absence.

On the day you go to work on the way, try to remember - what good does this job give you, try to plan your day so that every hour you have 10 minutes for rest. During the break do not stay at your workplace - better go out and take a breath. And do not take your vacation photos with you - only disturb your soul to yourself, and you will not be able to adjust to the working mood. And, of course, praise yourself for every success, for every task you accomplished (even if it was very small), because you can not wait for the head of such recognition.

How to force yourself to work after a long break? If all these tips have not helped, and there is still no desire to work ... Then it may be worth thinking about - and suddenly you are among the very 80% of holidaymakers, and it's time for you to think about changing your activities?
