Post-Holiday Blues? You’re Not Alone!
Back at your desk after a relaxing week, a bunch of tasks are piling up before you even turn on the computer? How do you feel? Dizzy? Down?
Well, there’s a specific term —“post-holiday blues” —that trends on China’s social media platforms as soon as people get back to work after the week-long Spring Festival holiday. It describes the irritability, tiredness and sometimes sadness that many people around the world feel when returning to a normal routine after the holidays.
And such symptoms are particularly prevalent at this time of year in China. When people finally get home for the year’s most important national holiday, they put work and study aside, instead going shopping, partying and catching up with family and friends.
Some may stay up all night just to play cards or mahjong, enjoy TV shows or online programs — all without the worry of having to get up early and hurry to the crowded subway.
The chances are that many people over-eat as their parents pile up regional dishes and they gorge on the rare opportunity for “a flavor of home”.
When the laid-back fun ends, many feel tired and unproductive on returning to their regular routine. And some develop serious symptoms such as nausea, depression and eating disorders.
China’s offices reopened on Thursday, and netizens were quick to share how they truly felt online. “Headache and a sore throat, and I felt very down when forcing a smile on my face in front of others at work.”
Going back to work after the holidays is tough, but we are here to help! Below are some steps that might make your return to the office a little easier to cope with.
1. Don’t stay up late. Get back to yo ur original regular sleep schedule. ASAP.
2. Take some exercise, such as jogging and stretching.
3. Eat some light food, vegetables and fruits. Drop stimulating foods.
4. The holiday’s officially over now and it’s time to work — but remember the happy times and plan some nights out to look forward to.
