Only workaholics can wait for the holidays to end soon.
If the old joke “I can’t wait for the morning to get to work” doesn’t apply to you, then start preparing your body for workdays right now.
In fact, there is nothing funny about it, because the wrong approach can cause stress, emotional burnout and even depression, experts warn.
Here are some tips to help you avoid misery and bad mood after the holiday weekend.
First, rethink your values.
If you feel unwilling to go to work the day before work, ask yourself what caused it.
If you don’t like what you do, the team, the management or anything else, then maybe it’s really worth listening to yourself?
If everything is going well at work in this regard, then there is no need to shirk your responsibilities to support your family, pay for utilities, loans, installments, etc.
Second, evaluate the prospects
If every working day is stressful for you, life may lose its meaning.
As you know, even the walls help at home. If you are generally satisfied with your specialty and have such an opportunity, then try working from home.
But even in this case, you need to understand that work should be a joy.
Anything that does not bring satisfaction will one day be abandoned and forgotten.
Third, assess the risks
Surely everyone has a number of obligations, whether you want it or not, but every morning you need to rush to the office.
Consider that if you lose your job, you will lose your home, your car, the ability to travel on vacation, and so on.
Remember that all bad things come to an end.
If this positive thought does not bring you satisfaction and the desired peace, it is time to seek help from a specialist.
The problem may not only be in you or the behavior of others, but even in the lack of sunlight, which has an acute effect on mental health.
