「Replay of the incident" The main manifestations of the so-called "phobia of going to work" after the long holiday can be summarized in two points: First, I don’t want to go to work and feel anxious before going to work. ； The second is feeling depressed and irritable on the first day of work. In a survey involving 5,000 people, an organization asked, “After the long vacation, do you have any phobia about going to work? ”48.1% of people said they had this symptom, nearly half. It can be seen that going to work after the holidays has become something that makes white-collar workers anxious. The long holiday draws a break for office workers who work from nine to five. Get rid of negotiations, meetings with clients, revising plans, endless conference calls...enjoy a relaxing and stress-free day. However, the long vacation also brings side effects to office workers. When the days of "rest" are over, many people are unable to enter the normal "work movement" immediately. When I got to work, I was in the office, but my heart was nowhere to be found, and my mental state was sluggish. How can I switch “channels” freely? Enjoy the relaxation brought by the long vacation, and be able to enter work with full energy after the long vacation? Let the psychological experts advise you. “"Phobia of going to work" comes from "inertia". In a survey of 5,000 people, nearly half of the people who had suffered from "phobia of going to work" accounted for nearly half. It can be seen that this is not a rare problem. Is it possible that after adequate rest, I am unable to enter work with full energy? Does a long vacation have any side effects on work? In this regard, Sun Jiayi analyzed:: “When a person is in a certain state, the brain center will establish a corresponding working mode. For example, when working, the brain is in a state of tension, and the body and mind will accordingly establish thinking and operating modes that match the working environment. During a long vacation, people are in a relaxed state of leisure, and accordingly, the brain is also in a relaxed state. In the process of switching between the two states, 'inertia' will cause initial discomfort. ”Think about it, in the first two days of vacation, if you don’t turn on the alarm clock, will you still wake up at the usual time? This is what "inertia" does. Your brain and body aren't quite in vacation mode yet. After about two or three days, the time you wake up in the morning will be significantly delayed. At this time, your body and mind have already entered a state of vacation. The same process will also happen when you return to work after a long vacation. The so-called phobia at work actually means that people are temporarily unable to adapt to the switch from a resting state to a tense state, and as a result, they develop irritability, anxiety and even depression. Once you understand that your body has this kind of "inertia" and that this is a normal phenomenon, you can plan ahead and proactively make preparations to help yourself buffer instead of being trapped by negative emotions. Tip 1: Adjusting circadian rhythm can help relieve anxiety. Sun Jiayi reminded that physical discomfort can easily lead to psychological unhappiness. Many people's irritability and anxiety are mainly caused by discomfort caused by the body's inability to immediately transition from a relaxed resting state to a tense working state. “Now that you know that your body needs such an adaptation cycle, you might as well take the initiative to adjust. For example, gradually adjust your work and rest time two or three days in advance, so that you can gradually adjust your work and rest time from your vacation time to your work and rest routine when you return to work. ” Tip 2: Start with a simple work schedule. Many office workers will have their own work schedule to arrange their work arrangements for the future. Sun Jiayi suggested that it is very knowledgeable to arrange one's work plan after a long vacation. “On the first day of work, your overall state may still need to be warmed up, so try not to arrange work that is too challenging. For example, you might as well postpone important negotiations or meetings with important clients - you must know that your important clients may, like you, have just returned from a long vacation and have not yet fully entered work mode. In the first few days when you first start working, you might as well start with some easier and more certain things to give yourself a buffer period. ” In addition to arranging your work from easy to difficult, Sun Jiayi also suggests setting aside some things in your schedule that make you happy and relaxed. For example, set aside half an hour to enjoy afternoon tea with colleagues. Or, treat yourself to a small gift after get off work—a beautiful notepad is a great option that you can use frequently at work. Tip 3: Rearrange the office. Entering the new year, everyone hopes to have a new look. Rearranging your office is also a good way to help yourself get rid of the phobia of going to work. Sun Jiayi says: “Buy a few pots of green plants and put them on your desk to give yourself positive cues. Placing some cute dolls next to the monitor will also bring you a good mood. You can also post the photos you took during the holidays on the fender of your desk. If your job makes you feel a little boring, then these little things may help you find new vitality and excitement. ” Tip 4: Choose bright accessories. Sun Jiayi pointed out that a person’s clothing has a great impact on his mood. Many companies located in office buildings require employees to wear business attire to work on weekdays, but they can wear casual clothes to work on the last day of the week as a change. “If possible, company managers may wish to allow employees to wear casual clothes to work in the first few days after the New Year's holiday, which can give everyone an emotional buffer. Some professions, such as banking and securities industries, are not suitable for wearing casual clothes to work, so you might as well put on a brightly colored silk scarf, or a unique small brooch or other accessories before going out. ” Tip 5: Make good plans for the next vacation: "Many people feel uncomfortable between the rest state of the long vacation and the subsequent working state, mainly because there is a huge gap between the two. There are only two long vacations a year, and there is a long gap in between. But we can arrange some 'short vacations' for ourselves to relieve our tired working conditions. ”Sun Jiayi suggests that at the beginning of the year, you should arrange a "leisure and entertainment schedule" for yourself. For example, arrange the birthdays of good friends and your own anniversaries on the calendar, so that every once in a while, a month or two months, you can arrange some leisure and entertainment for yourself. Take a short trip, meet up with friends for a karaoke party, enjoy a romantic weekend alone with your close lover... "It is certainly hard to start working after a long holiday, but if you see that you will have a happy holiday in a short time, then the psychological gap will not be so big. Entering work is no longer so scary. ” Tip 6: Use the long vacation to repair interpersonal relationships. In addition to the psychological pressure caused by incompatibility, some people are afraid of returning to the office after the long vacation due to certain interpersonal problems. For this kind of people, Sun Jiayi believes that the long vacation is actually a good opportunity for them to sort out and repair their interpersonal relationships. A warm blessing message may be able to help resolve awkward co-worker relationships. After a long vacation, bringing some specialties from your hometown and sharing them with your colleagues is also a good way to harmonize office relationships. Tip 7: New plans are needed during career burnout. If all the above suggestions don’t work, you are still immersed in anxiety and don’t want to go to work. Then it is very likely that you have entered the "burnout period". The long vacation is just a temporary escape for you. Sun Jiayi pointed out that career burnout often occurs in the 3rd, 5th, and 8th years of your career. “Some people look like everything is fine. But they are actually very anxious inside - he may be worried: I have been working in this company for five years, but the things I do are similar to those of employees who have just joined the company for two or three years..." Regarding this situation, Sun Jiayi suggested that you should not simply avoid going to work. Fear cannot solve the problem. You might as well find a professional to help you re-plan your future career.
