Beat the post vacation blues

Have you come back from your holiday with a case of the post vacation blues?

Are you finding it really hard to get back into the swing of things?

The trouble with highs is that they're always followed by lows. Of course, you could say that the good thing about lows is that they're always followed by highs, but most of us don't think of it that way. Probably because our ordinary lives go more gently up and down, but when you go on vacation, you get a kind of 'peak' experience - something really very different from your everyday life.

Handling the 'come down' can be tricky. The stark contrast between the hyper bright/loud/tasty/aromatic/entertaining qualities of your holiday break and the humdrum of ordinary life can land you in a post vacation depression of sorts. The buzz you got while you were away seems to vanish as if it had never been. You might even sometimes wonder if you dreamt it. How on earth can you get going again?

Post vacation blues can be a sign of a need for change

You'll get there eventually, of course. The old responsibilities and routines are still there, demanding your attention and energy. If there's not much amiss with your ordinary life, you'll pick up the reins and carry on. If there is something amiss, if you are not getting what you want out of life, you might want to step back and think about why you are doing what you're doing, and whether you need to consider changing things.

But the question is this. If your life is generally okay, and you don't feel a need to make big changes, why does it take so long to readjust after a holiday? Isn't there a way to make the transition from being on vacation to being back at work more smoothly? A way you could 'carry over' more of the beneficial effects of your break?

And the answer to that is: Yes!
