And it's time to get back to work. So that the work pleases again, colleagues do not annoy, and things do not fall like a heavy burden on relaxed shoulders, follow the simple advice of our experts.
1. Plan a complete vacation
A comfortable exit from a vacation will primarily be facilitated by the vacation itself, spent the way you want.
For some, the ideal vacation is to lie on the beach by the sea with a glass in hand and do nothing. Others prefer long hikes: climbing mountains, rafting down the river and relaxing actively. Others need peace and quiet.
It will not be possible to fit everything in a short two-week period. Better to focus on one option. It is unlikely that you will be able to complete repairs with equal success, redo things in the country, sleep and relax in nature. Be sure to change the environment, at least nominally. If it is not possible to travel outside the city, walk more and do not sit within four walls - in any case, you need fresh impressions and emotions.
2. Return to work gradually
One of the most common mistakes that cause post-holiday syndrome is to jump into work and plunge headlong into duties. This approach provokes a stressful situation, reducing mood, performance, and undermining health. Get out of vacation smoothly, gradually gaining momentum.
The head of the training center, Olesya Zvagolskaya, recommends returning home from vacation one or two days before going to work.
“You should not squeeze all the time out of your vacation to the last drop, do not plan an active holiday on the last day. It's better to come home early. So you physically and psychologically have time to take a break from vacation activities and do not come to work tired. Take care of your health and do not drive yourself into work stress with sudden changes.
Spend the last couple of days in a quiet home rest mode: unpack your suitcases, prepare clothes for the office, do your favorite things, get enough sleep.
Upon your return, adjust to your usual rhythm: go to bed and get up earlier, sleep at least 8 hours a day. Avoid conflicts and quarrels at work and at home. Understand that after a vacation it’s hard not only for you, but also for those who replaced you.
After going to work, try to smoothly enter the working channel.
“It's normal - the first 2-3 days to work in a light mode, gradually plunging into the working rhythm and starting things one by one. Don't feel guilty about changing the pace of work. In business, the winner is not the one who runs fast, but the one who can run for a long time, in a constant rhythm, ”says Natalia Storozheva, General Director of the Perspektiva Center for Business and Career Development.
Scientists say that a person needs at least 1–1.5 weeks to reverse adaptation. During this time, the employee is able to reach the same level of performance that was noted before the vacation. Give yourself "indulgence": sleep more, take 10-minute breaks every 1-2 hours, eat well and varied, get out of the house in the evenings. Learn to relax not only on vacation, but also in any free time.
In order not to be in a rush mode immediately upon arrival at the workplace, decide on priority tasks.
The head of the EnglishDom online school of English, Maxim Sundalov, is sure that you should immerse yourself in work from simple, familiar things. “In your first days at work, don’t grab everything at once. Start by checking your mail, talk to colleagues - find out what happened while you were on vacation. Make a to-do list and prioritize them.
The Eisenhower to-do matrix helps streamline the prioritization process, dividing all types of tasks into four types according to urgency and importance.
4. Communicate
You enter the office, tanned and rested, in a great mood. You immediately feel the envious glances of your colleagues, on whose shoulders your duties have been placed. Not everyone can be sincerely happy for others.
Don't feel guilty about needing a break.
“The more responsible, respectable, motivated an employee is, the more he suffers and the faster his pleasant feelings disappear after a holiday or vacation. Because the feeling of guilt is formed by bosses and colleagues. A person goes to work and gets shot at by reproachful glances: you were lying on the beach, and we are here ... And then follows a long list of feats accomplished without him. The only right decision is internal distancing from the manipulation of guilt,” comments Natalya Storozheva.
Natalya Yarkova, head of the Finance and Real Estate practice at the PR agency PR Partner, recommends getting as much sleep as possible before the first day of work, taking an invigorating shower and preparing your favorite dishes for breakfast - minimizing everything that can spoil your mood. “On the way to work, remember why you love her, remind yourself of pleasant moments, and when you get to the office, tell your colleagues about your vacation: devote some time to an interesting story and show it,” Natalia advises. So you will plunge into pleasant thoughts and on this wave with great pleasure you will return to business.
No matter how much you want to postpone your vacation, you won’t be able to hold back the avalanche of cases for a long time. Therefore, your goal is to tune in to work as quickly as possible and get down to business, if possible, gradually.

Colleague with the first working day (employment)
Now you've washed up on the shore.
Today is the first time for you
How did you come into this world
They will write in the work book.
Write and stamp
That is the way it is.
They will give a table, and they will get a chair,
And they will say: "Your place is here."
You are both happy and scared
And the head is moving around.
But these feelings will evaporate -
Not in a day, so in two.
Work days will begin.
Now - plow, plow, plow ...
The boss will get wise -
It won't be stressful.
But it will be a dream very soon
How labor excitement subsides,
Once a disgusting school
Or even kindergarten.
Nice landscape on the table!
Although little work experience
Don't shy away from tradition
Our young colleague.
Against such arguments
No objections -
Having drunk you without problems
To this glorious team
From now on and forever
Now you are our man.
You can steward until payday
From their colleagues to take.
Suck you longing -
Let's support a little
In the evening he will miss you
A bottle of beer.
We go to the forest for mushrooms
And if you want - for football,
For other events
We also have a female gender.
Congratulations to my son on his first working day
I wish you happiness and warmth
Colleagues are good and kind,
Great hopes, pleasant meetings.
I wish you success
And on this day - fun, laughter,
In your affairs - no fluff, no feather!
Where does a person spend most of their time? No, not at home! Of course, he is forced to spend a third of the day at work. Basically, the working shift lasts 8 hours, but sometimes it reaches up to 12 and even up to 20 hours. Naturally, work colleagues automatically become best friends and loyal associates. Unfortunately, often, the team breaks up. What, then, to wish a colleague at work? How to please a person with whom you have been in the same office for many years, with whom you shared experience and discussed problems? Wishes to a colleague when moving to another job should be sincere and positive.
How to congratulate a colleague if he was promoted
If a colleague was able to stand out and moved up the career ladder, then you should come up with congratulations for him on the promotion. It can be expressed both in verse and in prose. Here are some examples of what it might look like:
“Our dear friend, you have reached the heights you aspired to. On this significant day for you, we want to wish you an excellent salary, good relations with your superiors and success in your work. Now you will have a new team, may there never be quarrels and misunderstandings in it. We wish you, despite the workload, always have time for a pleasant rest.
Congratulation on a promotion can also be presented as a short verse:
May you have a good life in your new place,
Let there be everything, health and success;
And whatever you do, let it succeed right away,
So that there are no serious matters and up to joys.
Let there be room for inspiration
And life will instantly become bright, like flowers,
May every moment be happy
Brings joy and fulfillment of dreams.
in prose
What other options are there? If a colleague decided to quit one place and move to another, then it is best to come up with sincere wishes to a colleague in prose. They may have the following content:
“You went to the trick, decided to change jobs. While no one knows whether your choice will be right or wrong. But, I want to believe that you will not regret your step. We will certainly miss someone like you. But your happiness is more important to us. May your pockets always rustle at your new place of work, may all your dreams come true, and you will forget about what financial difficulties are.
Congratulation can also look like this.
“Today we are sending our colleague (colleague’s name), whom we have known for many years, on a good journey. We know that a new door in life is opening for you, now you will have a new job, new responsibilities, a new team. But we sincerely believe that, despite this, you will not forget us! During this time, you have become a part of us all!”
Wishes in verse
Wishes to a colleague when moving to another job can also be presented in the form of a short verse.
May there be many clear days in life,
The time of long successes will begin,
And good health, which is more important,
Than searching for meaningless tasks
So that you can boast of constancy,
And let life always give
What fun do you call happiness
And why does it feel so good!
Wishes to a colleague when moving to another job can also be presented in the form of short wishes:
huge salary,
Have a nice work,
More clients
Understanding bosses
cheerful team,
successful projects,
Interesting business trips.
Further, wishes can be made independently, depending on what work the hero of the occasion goes to. Usually, such congratulations are presented collectively, that is, all those gathered take turns calling one phrase.
How about work
In addition to wishing a colleague when moving to another job, you need to make a small holiday for him, since he must remember his last day at the workplace for a long time.
- The first thing to do is create a holiday moment. In the office, you should hang balloons, decorate your colleague's desktop.
- If possible, then during the lunch break or after the work shift, you need to make a small buffet.
- It is worth devoting special time to memories: remember how a colleague first came to work, how he was received by the team and the funniest stories with his participation.
- It is best to supplement these memories with photos and videos.
- It is imperative to make a memorable gift, which will later remind a colleague of this day.
Wishes to colleagues at work should be sincere and come from the depths of the soul. Of course, very different feelings can be present on this day: someone will be glad that he will take the vacant place, someone will envy that the person managed to “climb” higher, and someone will really be sad that a colleague leaves. But, despite this, you need to accept and understand the choice of a person and congratulate him cheerfully so that he will remember this day for a long time.
Oh, this cherished word is vacation. For a person who is tired of everyday workloads, it causes awe. With his head held high, the employee leaves the hateful office and heads to warmer climes. But everything has its end, which means that the time comes when you have to return to work again. To help a colleague cope with the first working day after a vacation, the team often speaks personally or gives a postcard with pleasant, encouraging wishes. In this article, you can find the right words.
For boss
"For some time, the life of our team has changed: everyone was not working so actively, day after day was gray and dull. This is due to the absence of a wise leader who always knows where to direct the energy of his subordinates. Now you are with us again! We hope that the forces accumulated during the rest, they will be partially transferred to the team, and it will work even more productively.Forward, with new ideas for better results!
Our team is a family, and you are its head. Like all children, we should not be left unattended for long periods of time. The team is glad that now we will work in full force. When a leader is inspired to new achievements, then subordinates adopt this feeling. Together with you we will achieve our goals!
The boss's vacation evokes different emotions. Joy from the opportunity to relax a little, envy (exceptionally white) from the emotions experienced by another person, longing for the one who from the first minutes sets the tone for the entire working day. But the leader is sure to return, which means that the atmosphere in the team comes full circle. We hope that during the rest you replenished your strength and patience in order to return to duty again! Please accept my congratulations on the first working day after the holidays!
Colleagues of the weaker sex
"A woman is always beautiful, but decorating the world around her is not an easy task. She requires a lot of strength that needs to be replenished. Then you left us, which made the whole team very upset. Now we are together again, and a light tan and a sea of photos for a long time will remain the envy of all colleagues.Let the memories of a wonderful vacation brighten up sometimes difficult working days!
Our postcard on the first working day after vacation is a way to show how much we missed your company. The male half of the team, with expectation and bated breath, counted the days when they would see one of the most beautiful members of the team again, and the female half, in turn, suffered from a lack of information. We all breathed a sigh of relief, because now the employees are in place and working life will be the same. Let weekdays not overshadow joyful memories, and let the smile never leave your face! The next vacation is just around the corner!
For male colleagues
"Rest... How tiring it must be to be torn from day to day between going to the beach and a serene sleep in a hotel room. But now you do not have to experience these torments, and a loyal team and a sensitive boss will make sure that work does not cease to bring pleasure, and the vacation seemed just a waste of time! This is all, of course, an irony! We are sure that a change of scenery and a break from the bustle of the city did you good. We are very glad that you returned to our ranks again!
Keep our congratulations on the first working day after the holidays! We know that you are a very energetic and active person, and therefore a long absence of work is a burden for you. But the team suffered no less! We have lost the soul of the company and are very glad that you have started working again!".
funny congratulations
"To brighten up the first working day after the holidays, cool congratulations from your favorite team are what you need! Now your life has meaning again, we have appeared (which, in principle, is the same thing). We wish you to steadfastly meet Monday morning, cope with work and replenish the collection of magnets on the refrigerator!
It took us a long time to get used to your absence. Even the guard noticed that someone had not greeted him for two weeks. We are happy to congratulate you on your first working day after your vacation and wish you new achievements, high wages, delicious coffee and only pleasant troubles!
Getting started is not always easy. To please a colleague, congratulate him on the first working day after the vacation. The support and love of the team will brighten up difficult working days and allow you to tune in to the right wave.
How to spend your first day at work after vacation
Remember the bearded joke in which the birds sing, the flowers smell, the sea rustles, the sand creaks and life finally began to improve, and then bam - and the vacation is over?
Many of us are faced with the so-called "post-holiday syndrome", when all desire to return to a dull office, to routine work, to colleagues whom you know to the slightest cracks, to endless calls and piles of papers, and annoying clients disappears. Yes, and the body itself after the holidays simply sabotages going to work: the head hurts, insomnia is replaced by apathy, and re-acclimatization is difficult. And more and more often visit treacherous thoughts of dismissal.
Stop! Let's not make hasty decisions in a crisis, but think about how to make the return from vacation as pleasant as possible.
Strange as it may sound, but you need to prepare for the exit from the vacation even before it starts.
Getting ready to go back to work after vacation
To begin with, we will order tickets back two or three days before the official end of the vacation. There will be time to slowly unpack your suitcases, get used to the rhythm and energy of your native city, its climate, and just lie on your favorite bed, which, I must admit, you have already missed.
Then remember how many times we made a promise to ourselves to start a new life on Monday? And How? Monday, as you know, is a hard day and is completely unsuitable for something new. Therefore, you should not start the harsh working days from this day of the week. The best time to go to work is Thursday. For two days you can somehow work out, and then again, as usual, rest!
On the last day before going to work, it is best to try to get enough sleep, and spend the evening in a calm atmosphere, for example, with your family. And do not immediately try to redo all the homework from the train, leave it for the weekend. Don't forget that you are officially still on vacation!
Work and 1 day after vacation
And then it came, the first working day after the holidays. We get up in the morning a little earlier than usual in order to have time to drink an extra cup of coffee and mentally prepare for the working environment.
Have you put your workspace in order before the holidays? Not? And in vain: nothing disheartens after a vacation like a desktop littered with dusty papers. Towards them! We'll sort it out after lunch, when we plan the next events, so as not to forget anything important and urgent.
In the meantime, let's make our first working cup of tea. Let's throw a pinch of St. John's wort, hawthorn, rowan flowers or any other tonic herbs into it. Let's extend the holiday mood a little with a fragrant smell. No herbs? Don't be sad, a thin slice of lemon will work too.
Slowly, sipping tonic tea, we will look through the correspondence that has accumulated during the absence. Much no longer requires an answer, some of the information has lost its relevance, we will mark important and urgent letters with flags and return to them a little later.
Tea is drunk, mail is looked through, it's time to chat with a colleague who replaced you. He will certainly ask about how your vacation went, and tell you about important events that happened in your absence.
And now it's lunch time! We plunge into the holiday mood again, telling our colleagues the brightest moments and showing a kaleidoscope of tempting photos. After lunch, we begin to slowly get involved in the working environment. Let's analyze the accumulated papers that have been moved aside since the morning, and make the necessary meetings for the next week, sketch out a plan of affairs depending on their importance.
You are not Comrade Matrosov to throw your chest into the embrasure of work on the first day after your vacation? This means that planning will help distribute the load evenly over all working days.
While you still feel rested and full of energy, you can and should finish those things that you didn’t get your hands on before the holidays. Do the work that you planned for a long time, but did not have time for some reason.
For the analysis of papers, time flies unnoticed, and it is quite possible to afford to drink another cup of tea. Only this time we will add a little mint, oregano or lemon balm to it. This will help you unwind at the end of your work day. And be sure to praise yourself: you sorted out all the piles of papers, made important meetings, although in the morning it seemed completely impossible.
At the end of your first day at work, take a moment to dream about a night out where you'll put on a suit that accentuates your rested look and see friends who haven't received their souvenirs yet. And the evening can end with watching your favorite movie, which you did not have time to watch during your vacation. And no work from home! Otherwise, the vivid memories of the vacation will be erased from memory even before the onset of the legal weekend.
Oh yes! Be sure to put a bright hello from vacation on your desktop! In the end, it doesn't matter where the body is, what matters is where the soul lives!
Here comes the first working day after vacation
A couple of days ago you basked on the seashore or leafed through your favorite book in the evening languor, inhaling the clean rural air, and today you realize with horror that the first working day is about to “crash”, for which you are completely unprepared. How to join the work mode without harming physical and mental health?
“If you have a fountain, shut it up - let the fountain rest too,” said the wise, albeit fictional, Kozma Prutkov. Well, we have rested, it's time to tune in to the working mood - and forward, to new victories and achievements! Yes, it was not there. Some kind of mood is whiny, nerves are fooling around, and in general, I want to come to work just to write a re-application for the next vacation. "Congratulations, you have post-holiday depression."
During a vacation, a person simply splashes with endorphins: hormones of happiness that are responsible for a good mood and good spirits. But the closer the first working day, the less happy hormones enter our blood heated by the summer heat. As a result, the heart rate, breathing changes, the brain works in a different “rhythm”. As a result, in order for the body to reorganize into a working mode, at least a week of “rest from rest” is needed. Moreover, abruptly shouldering “tons” of work tasks on your fragile shoulders is simply dangerous for health. Experienced psychologists and psychotherapists have a saying about this: “No one needs a vacation as much as the one who has just returned from it.” So, before you throw your chest at the working embrasure, you need to properly prepare for busy working days.
“Eat, please, our treat!”
First, plan your vacation so that its last day falls in the middle of the week. Then, realizing that there are a couple of days left before the weekend, the newly fallen work duties are more easily perceived. Having fluttered into your office in flying loose clothes (it will liberate you internally), do not immediately try, flopping into an armchair, to dive headlong into cases in which “the horse has not rolled around”. Look around, find out the latest news (“Lyudka from the new career boyfriend picked up, and the secretary Verochka leaned on yoghurts and fruits for a reason”). Present souvenirs that you bought on the occasion at the resort and show photos, they can also be framed and put on the table as a reminder of a wonderful vacation.
And if you spent your vacation in the country, arrange a tea party with your own jam at lunchtime and share with your colleagues a new diet for depressed vacationers. Yes, yes, there is one. Post-holiday "rehabilitation" includes bananas, dark chocolate, buckwheat and oatmeal, green onions. As well as taking sun and salt baths, even if you have “fried” and “salted” enough on the seashore. But in no case do not exhaust yourself with strict diets, finding a few extra centimeters at the waist. It is better to devote a couple of hours to shopping - such walks will help to distract from thoughts about food. Better yet, sign up for a pool or fitness club. And carve out free time for outings into nature.
After a vacation, 80 percent of employees have an irresistible desire to put a letter of resignation on the boss's table. Having rashly written “I ask you to dismiss of your own free will”, after a while they regret what they have done. But the train has already left - who wants to take such an unreliable employee back? Do not exaggerate and you. Be aware that after rest, people tend to exaggerate negative factors and falsely assess reality. Yes, it’s good to have a rest, but there are problems and jobs at work, but it is here that we realize ourselves as specialists and receive remuneration for our work. But a person whose vacation was not successful (sometimes this happens) is not subject to such an emotional momentary outburst - he is subconsciously drawn to work, and he sets to work with double zeal.
Although the lack of pleasant memories of vacation can also lead to depression. In order not to fall into her clutches, ladies, especially single ones, are advised by psychologists to ... start a holiday romance. At least then, to enjoy the "concentrated" feelings. A man and a woman, realizing that a week or two is “assigned” to all love-carrots, will force events with great speed. This is the strongest emotional shake-up, which is simply vital for many. But when you return home, don't expect far-reaching consequences: such relationships rarely develop into something more.
A week there, a week here
Have you noticed for yourself that the longer the rest lasts, the more difficult it is to join the labor rhythm? Therefore, now many employees themselves are asking to “split” the vacation prescribed by law into two parts - two weeks each. Yes, and scientists have already determined that the minimum vacation period for which a person can have a normal rest is two weeks, and for a full-fledged whole three weeks. One of them will be spent on adapting to a new climate, time zone and doing nothing. The second - directly for rest, the third - for post-holiday rehabilitation.
Entering the house after a tiring road, do not rush to unpack your bags and put things in order in the refrigerator, sorting out spoiled food. Take a warm bath, sip some mint tea and pamper yourself in your bed. And forgetting a sweet dream, start ... planning your next vacation!
Psychologists have determined that the attitude to vacation directly depends on how you feel about your work. Some of us can’t wait for a vacation and count not only the days, but also the hours until the long-awaited vacation, and someone perceives it (yes, there are some) as a useless break in what they love. So who is who?
“Work is not a wolf, it won’t run away into the forest” - this is the motto of practical oxen. People with such an attitude to work have long decided for themselves that it exists only in order to earn money. They don’t strain a lot and don’t shovel piles of additional cases, focusing only on their own. The oxen are distinguished by a rational approach to business, and in the last days before the holidays, they must tighten their “tails” so as not to return to them after the rest, but to start earning capital again.
“I’m already too lazy,” the sloths sigh, stretching and again shifting the tasks that require urgent completion “for tomorrow”. For them, every working day is like a punishment. They are not satisfied with either the boss or the team, and the amount of work assigned seems simply impossible. In the pre-holiday period, they can no longer think about anything other than vacation. Sometimes dissatisfied sloths need the help of a psychologist to get out of post-holiday depression.
Tigers are prone to competition and excitement and see their activities only as a rapid climb up the career ladder. And vacation - tu! - only a temporary break in achieving goals. Yes, and during it from a deck chair on the seashore, you can conduct urgent negotiations. And the authorities will note, and competitors will not write off.
Every day, a creative monkey discovers something new for himself, learns, makes grandiose plans not only for tomorrow, but for years to come (it doesn’t matter that many of them turn out to be unrealized). Even on vacation, she will think about what she can do when she goes to work. The monkey may not be touched by the post-holiday syndrome, unless, of course, on vacation she will not think that because of her lack of assembly (it happens to everyone) she forgot about a bunch of unfinished business.

How to get back to work after vacation
Experts say: in the life of any person, a vacation is not at all such a simple period as we used to think. Studies have shown that about 40% of "vacationers" return to work after a holiday more stressed than they were before the holiday.
If you belong to the other 60% and still managed to relax after a few weeks of vacation, another attack may lie in wait for you - depression.
Often, a return to the work schedule causes a state familiar to many: it would seem that everything is fine, the rest turned out in the best way, but something incomprehensible gnaws from the inside, something does not suit you.
The most common manifestations: incomprehensible unwillingness to work, drowsiness, headache and joint pain, dizziness, low mood, depression and the search for any "excuses" that would allow to postpone the start of work.
Psychologists insist: this is not laziness at all, but a real depression associated with the need to adapt and move from a state of rest and relaxation to an active “working mode”. In order to make this adaptation period as quick and painless as possible, experts advise you to follow simple rules.
painlessly integrate into the work process
1. Return from vacation a few days before going to work
Returning to work after rest inevitably entails a change in the daily routine, the nature of nutrition, and your entire lifestyle. Your immune system is under additional stress throughout the adaptation period. In order to make it easier for the body to adapt, it is useful to take a complex of vitamins.
A tincture or decoction of motherwort, valerian, chamomile tea will help you calm down and easily survive the increase in stress and tension levels that you managed to wean off during the rest.
On the last days of your vacation, rest more and get enough sleep, do not burden yourself with difficult and unpleasant tasks for you.
In addition to bodily health, pay attention to how informed you are. Take an interest in the changes that have occurred at your work, look through the documentation, remember what things and projects you were busy with before you went on vacation.
Systematize and streamline - this is an incredibly effective antidepressant. Any activity that requires thoroughness and accuracy has a positive effect: put light summer things in the closet, sort out travel suitcases and bags, put things in order in documents and photographs.
2. Miss work
Set yourself up for the fact that you want to return to work, miss work as elementary school students are waiting for September 1, which will bring the opportunity to see schoolmates and gain new interesting knowledge.
Consciously prioritize. Remember why you love your job, why you work and why you go on vacation. Purposefully look for the positive.
In addition, a few days before the end of the vacation, you have the opportunity to sort yourself out: if your work does not bring you joy at all, perhaps it's time to look for a new one?
3. Prepare for your first day of work
Surviving the first working day can be oh so difficult, especially if you had a chance to leave your vacation on Monday. Therefore, it is advisable to plan your vacation in such a way that you return to work in the middle of the week, for example, Wednesday or Thursday.
Thursday is ideal: just two days to work, and again the weekend!
4. Don't get caught up in the work
After a vacation, you are in a relaxed state, and therefore it will be difficult for you to think and complete tasks quickly and carefully. Do not immediately "grab" large-scale cases. The body will adapt best if the transition to active work is gradual.
To slow down the hustle and bustle of everyday work, after a vacation, you should first take on not the difficult, but the simplest things.
Don't worry! What you didn’t do in 2-3 weeks of vacation, you won’t do in one day anyway: it’s simply impossible! It’s better to draw up an action plan: write down on a piece of paper all the urgent tasks that you face, select the most favorite and easy things from the list, and it is from them that you start to “get involved in the workflow”.
5. Psychologically extend your vacation
For example, devote the first working day to memories of pleasant moments of rest. Capture the best vacation shots from home, put them at work or use as a screensaver on your PC monitor. Show vacation photos to colleagues, tell about the positive emotions of your vacation, share your impressions about the most interesting pictures.
At the same time, you should not get too carried away with memories. This not only distracts attention from work tasks - your indefatigable enthusiasm can annoy and provoke envy, because not all of your colleagues managed to relax. Yes, and you are faced with the task of smoothly and gradually, but still tune in to a working mood, and not live in memories and nostalgic for happy moments of rest.
6. Avoid conflict situations
Watch your statements and behavior. The reconfiguration process can cause increased irritability, which, in turn, can give rise to unnecessary unconstructive conflicts.
Communicate with colleagues in a friendly tone. Your coworkers will help you get back to work and make you feel welcome back. In addition, this is a good opportunity to find out about all the news, rumors and changes that have occurred during your absence.
At the same time, try to avoid dry, non-emotional communication, show your colleagues a sincere and friendly attitude.
7. Work your muscles
After rest, pay attention to your physical activity. It is worth introducing additional physical activity, because, as a rule, during the holidays we move much more.
The so-called "muscle joy", that is, the pleasure that physical activity brings, is an excellent natural antidepressant. Morning jogging in the park, a long walk after work, simple gymnastics, especially in the fresh air, will help.
8. Do what you have long dreamed of
On your first weekend after your vacation, allow yourself the luxury of not doing household chores. Instead of cleaning, repairing or other boring things, go to a beauty salon, go shopping or do other pleasant things that will bring you new positive emotions.
In the end, enjoy what you missed on vacation: the Internet, chatting with friends, going to a concert or exhibition.
9. Get creative
Organize your photo album, make a collage or decorate your favorite photo with a beautiful frame. If artistic “things” do not attract you, treat your loved ones to some exotic dish, in the preparation of which the whole family can take part. Show your imagination!
10. Think about where and how you will rest next time
By the way, psychologists advise to rest at least once a season, that is, as many as 4 times a year. Such a vacation may last only a few days, but this time should be used for relaxation and “reboot”.

The photo is right about me - I want to go home and cry. True, there was no time to cry - she went to work on Monday - the whole week was a complete mess.

We go to work after vacation or how to survive depression
Holiday depression, or "vacationist syndrome", affects almost all workers who have begun work duties after the end of a long weekend or vacation.
Problematic awakening early in the morning, lack of concentration, apathy, nervousness - these are the main signs of this disease. So, how to get into a working rhythm, or what to do when you don’t feel like working after a break.
Wherever you spend your holidays - in the Maldives, in Turkey or in the nearest Zorka boarding house - you will still need time to adapt to the rhythm of everyday life. Therefore, try to plan your vacation so that you have a few “bonus” days left for acclimatization. The rapid jump into work is extremely dangerous for "labor productivity" and good mood. A person needs time to realize the fact of returning to his beloved (or, alas, not so much) work. Therefore, spend the rest of your free days wisely: get enough sleep, unpack things, take a walk in the fresh air, print photos, have a tea party with friends, think about what you will wear on your first working day. But in no case do not try to sleep all day long! This will plunge you further into apathy and turn you into an unbalanced somnambulist.
Everyone knows that Monday is a hard day, so doctors and psychologists advise after a long vacation to start the labor process from the middle of the week. This will allow you to easily and painlessly begin to perform labor feats.
On the first day, do not immediately rush to work. Give yourself time to tune into the working wave: chat with colleagues and superiors, share your impressions, give some advice on choosing a resort/hotel/train/swimsuit for future vacationers, easily and naturally parade through all the offices, showing a dazzling tan.
Elementary cleaning at the workplace will help to smoothly enter the working rhythm. Dust off your computer, tidy up your papers, check your mail, make a to-do list for the coming days, and even better - write down your goals and tasks in a diary. This will further activate all your intellectual resources and support the business spirit. But do not try to take on difficult tasks, because due to reduced performance, there will be little benefit, and you will spend twice as much energy as usual.
If possible, divide all your work into stages and after each of them take a short break for 5-10 minutes: look at photos from your vacation, change the screensaver on your work computer, tell your colleagues again how great it was for you.
Don't skip your lunch break either. Your body needs vitamins and calories more than ever. You can increase the energy wasted on vacation by adding seafood, vegetables, fruits, dried fruits, nuts, chocolate, broccoli, and low-fat cheese to your daily diet. Don't forget flavored herbs like celery, basil, dill, and cilantro. By the way, during the "coffee break" you can continue the story about the rest.
After a hearty lunch, finish all the planned things and - feel free to go home! Experts strongly recommend not to linger in the office and not to take work home in the first "post-holiday" days. So you quickly run out of breath, and the efficiency of work will be minimal.
In the early days, the psychological attitude is also very important. Before you return to work after a vacation, try to remember all the best and most fun moments that happened at work: the project for which your boss praised you, an unexpected bonus, an employee’s birthday at a karaoke club. According to statistics, 80% of applications for dismissal are written just in the first days after leaving the vacation. If you feel like quitting, don't take hasty steps. Post-holiday depression lasts from two days to two weeks, but then goes away on its own.
During the adaptation period, it is especially important to lead a correct and active lifestyle. Therefore, when you return from work, do not close yourself within four walls in front of the TV in an embrace with a cat, but go to a fitness club or swimming pool. Why not a bar or a disco? Because evening light physical activity, and even more water procedures will help you relieve the stress of the first working days and fall asleep quickly.
By the way, healthy sleep, according to psychologists, is the most constructive method of getting out of the post-holiday "stupor". Go to bed before 12 at night and sleep at least 8 hours - and all apathy will be removed as if by hand. Strength will increase, and a slight blush will appear on the cheeks. Another important point is how you will spend the weekend. In no case do not turn on the "couch doing nothing" mode! Otherwise, you risk feeling worse on Monday than before the weekend. Remember: boring weekends affect work even worse than wild fun. Therefore, try to fill these days with pleasant impressions and meetings. Make a to-do list for yourself. Better yet, write it down. Then it will be more difficult for you to persuade yourself to stay at home. Meet up with friends, go to a movie or a concert, ride a bike, have a little picnic in some scenic spot. Yes, just walk around the city. Make it a rule at least once a week, on weekends, to arrange small holidays for yourself and do something that really pleases you. And then you won't have to regret the past vacation.
As you can see, the recipe for getting out of post-vacation apathy is a bit paradoxical, but extremely simple: work less, keep a sleep schedule, and have fun in your free time. However, according to experts, it is this mode that will allow you to enter the usual rhythm of life within three to four days.
