Daria Yausheva, a psychologist from the SberHealth online medical service, talked about ways to cope with stress after vacation and after returning to work. She stressed the importance of gradually getting into working mode and letting yourself feel sad. For some people, it helps to bring small items or aroma diffusers from vacation to work to preserve good memories.
The psychologist also advises to start preparing for work while on vacation and set aside a day for the transition. For example, returning from a trip on Saturday. She recommends using journaling or writing techniques to express negative feelings, support yourself, and structure thoughts.
Relaxation exercises such as focusing on the breath, sounds, objects or smells around you can help release tension and bring you back to the here and now. The psychologist also recommends establishing boundaries between work and private life, setting clear times when you can answer emails or calls, and using to-do lists to reduce stress.
