After a period where the clock and mobile devices took a backseat, returning to work signals the end of vacation and the return to routine, fully recharged and ready to take on the final quarter of this exciting 2024.

For many people, returning to work can trigger a depressive state commonly known as post-vacation syndrome. This syndrome can manifest as general weakness and fatigue. Additionally, it may be accompanied by insomnia, which coexists with significant daytime drowsiness, as well as a reduction in concentration.

VB Group, leading company in 360-degree solutions within the tourism, entertainment, and corporate mobility industries, offers a series of tips to make the return to work more manageable:

1. Routine. To prepare ourselves, it’s always helpful to gradually get back to the schedules we had before the vacation.
2. Stay positive. Reflecting on and recalling positive reasons to be happy about returning to work can help. Making a list and writing them down will exercise the mind and boost your mood.
3. Regain Control. The disconnection from certain habits, schedules and responsibilities is over, and it’s time to take back control.
4. Prioritize. As tasks and responsibilities are gradually resumed, it’s important to prioritize the most important ones to prevent them from becoming overwhelming. Take it slow and steady.
5. Enjoy the good weather. Now that the vacation chapter is closed, it’s a great opportunity to appreciate what’s near home and make the most of nearby open green spaces. Take advantage of the good weather to explore them.
6. Use the return to plan the year. If students start their school year in September, why not to the same? New resolutions can be put into action at any time.
7. Take care of your health. It’s essential to prioritize your health by maintaining a balanced diet, engaging in regular physical activity, and ensuring you get enough rest to perform daily activities at your best.
8. Stress-relief tools. Items like stress balls, dice, and spinners can provide a quick and effective way to reduce stress.
