Lekcja 21: Jak nie dać się depresji
pourlopowej

Ostatnio pisaliśmy o tym, jak cieszyć się urlopem, a dzisiaj kilka wskazówek, które pomogą Wam wrócić z urlopu
bez bólu i niepotrzebnego stresu oraz zaplanować powrót do pracy tak, aby płynnie przejść do naszych
zwyczajowych obowiązków i nie lamentować, że kolejny urlop prawdopodobnie dopiero za rok.

Recently we wrote about how to enjoy your vacation, and today we present you a few tips that will help you get back
from your leave painlessly pain and without unnecessary stress and plan the return to work to make a smooth
transition to our usual duties without whining that the next vacation is probably coming next year only.

The post-vacation stress syndrome is nothing unusual and most specialists agree that it's not just a lame excuse for
the lazy. During the daily routine drill our body is used to a high performance; even if the work is not particularly
stressful, as a rule you have to wake up early, fulfilling some duties, plan and organize. While on vacation, in turn, your
organism slows down. No duties and no alarm clock simply spoil us. So when they reappear again, this may cause a
depression that results in physical symptoms such as fatigue, lack of appetite, difficulties with concentration,
drowsiness, insomnia, or even an abnormally fast heartbeat and muscle pain.

If you have the post-vacation

blues

, which is quite likely, you will have trouble fighting it, so it's better to accept it. Yes,

you will be highly irritable and tired, but it will pass eventually. Plus, you can try some ways that will allow you to make
it pass faster. Actually, you may help yourself even before you leave by closing as many cases as possible to have a
clean start after you're back. Also, leave your workplace clean and tidy - it's enough that you will probably be a mess
upon return. And when returning, don't get back to work too fast, if possible. Plan your vacation as to have at least a
day's break between your arrival and the first day at work. There will be time to adjust and rest after the journey and to
arrange your souvenirs, maybe share your holiday memories and do any necessary shopping. And be sure to get a
good night's sleep before that dreaded morning alarm clock.

Obviously, the severity and duration of the post-vacation stress syndrome may vary to a great extent depending how
much you like your job. If after a week or two you still consider your work to be a boring and tedious routine with no
prospects for development, then maybe it's high time for you to give it a thought. Maybe it's not a post-vacation stress
syndrome after all, but this-specific-job stress syndrome? Remember it's never too late to make changes in your life -
all for the better, of course!
