Most people are frustrated by long vacations or vacations. Psychologists call this phenomenon - vacation leave syndrome. And as a fact, seasonality is not important here, the state of a person is important. In simple words, this inability to take a break in the modern rhythm of life.
Work, work and work again
You may not be physically present at work, but constantly mentally return to professional problems. Worrying about future meetings, rehearsing speeches, getting nervous, as if colleagues would not intrigue against you. And because of this, at every opportunity, check the mail. At the same time, try to smile at home and close, but mentally be far away.
Or another scenario. You have a week off and it is this week that you decide to get up at eight in the morning to prepare healthy breakfasts. Do a spring cleaning, dismantle the cabinets and knock out the carpets. As a result, there is no time left for oneself, fatigue is falling and depression is just around the corner.
Vacation to be earned
Constantly thinking about work is caused not only by the inability to switch from work to leisure, but also by a feeling of guilt for “useless activities”. How often, when you tried to get a book on the couch or in the bathroom, your inner voice asked: "And you deserve it?". Guilt piles up, it seems that it is necessary to do "something useful." At this point, you should stop and think about why your inner critic does not let you relax. The reason may be unfulfilled plans or a failure to meet someone's expectations.
It is worth understanding that everyone has the right to rest. And do not scold yourself for laziness, you are just gaining strength, so you earned "do nothing" for several days.
And so that the holidays do not turn into a "marathon of cleaning" and "useful activities", a list of tasks should be made. It is better if it includes only the really most important things. It should be remembered that on vacation there is a feeling of "unlimited", a simple homework stretches for several hours. Whatever this happens, take a strictly defined time for household chores, after which, after you have completed the job or not, go to rest.
