Have you been tricked?
"Post-holiday syndrome" has these symptoms
The so-called "post-holiday syndrome" refers to a series of physiological and psychological reactions that people have after holidays.
The main manifestation is that in the face of work and study that are about to begin, many people feel that they have not had enough rest during the holidays and are not in the mood to go to work. Physically, some people may experience dizziness, constipation, acne, and diarrhea; psychologically, some may experience restlessness, anxiety, irritability, malaise, etc.
Why does "post-holiday syndrome" occur?
Yangliu analyzed that during the holidays, everyone either attends various gatherings to connect with relatives and friends, or chooses to go out for fun to deeply relax the body and soul. In short, everyone completely relaxed and released stress during the holidays.
When the vacation is over and the busy work and life are about to restart, there will inevitably be a psychological gap, which will lead to physical or mental discomfort.

How to deal with "post-holiday syndrome"
How to deal with "post-holiday syndrome"? Yangliu gives a "guide to closing the heart."
First of all, say goodbye to big fish and meat, control the amount of food you eat, and keep it low in salt and fat.
"During the festival, many people eat irregularly and cannot stop eating big fish and meat. Excessive drinking at parties will aggravate the burden on the gastrointestinal tract." Yang Liu said that after returning to work, it is recommended not to eat too much and feel full, and you can reduce the amount appropriately. For meat intake, eat more cereals and green vegetables.
Secondly, adjust your work and rest schedule and exercise appropriately.
During the holidays, many people have very irregular work and rest schedules, chaotic biological clocks, and stay up late playing, resulting in poor mental state. It is recommended to adjust your work and rest during these two days, try to go to bed early and get up early, and take a proper lunch break if possible.
"If you are no longer physically and mentally fatigued, but still have symptoms of insomnia and anxiety, it is recommended to do moderate exercise." Yang Liu said, for example, walking, jogging, etc., not only help relieve fatigue and tension, but also help you stay energetic. Return to work full of energy.
Finally, it is recommended to prepare well before work, make a list, and proceed from easy to difficult.
When I start working after the holidays, I may not have gotten into the rhythm yet. "At this time, we must first accept a certain psychological gap and gradually shift our attention to work."
Yang Liu suggested that you can make a list of tasks that need to be completed after the holiday, and gradually increase your focus while sorting out your work ideas. At the same time, master a principle, that is, start from easy to difficult, and gradually enter the work state. Complete simple and urgent matters first, complete the necessary work first, and do not put too much pressure on yourself to avoid problems such as anxiety and depression.
