Concentrated holiday recreation - So you get a lot of relaxation from the days off

The holiday season has begun, for many the most beautiful time of the year. We are working long towards this goal, maybe we pay a lot of money for great trips, and then you have some kind of stress, get sick or the holiday resort is not so great and the rest has disappeared on the first day of work. So that this does not happen to you, so that you can continue your recovery for a long time and make the best of your holiday - here you can find out the best recovery tips.

The purpose of the holiday is to recharge our batteries so that we can recover from stressful times. Just have time to focus on the family or have time for your own hobbies, so that we can try something new or just relax.

You can relax both when travelling and at home. The only important thing is that you are able to break away from the work in your mind. Regarding the time after vacation studies show that it is theoretically possible to keep our recovery for eight weeks. So eight weeks after the holiday still this recreation, which we have won in the holiday to keep. But for most people the reality is that on the first (working) day everything is already gone. How you can avoid this and make the most of your holiday, I would like to tell you now.

Before your holiday

1. Reduce stress

That doesn't mean working to the last second and then jumping into the holiday plane very quickly. Many people try to work off everything before the holiday as much as possible and somehow get everything clean and tidy. However, this causes them to become even more stressed and overtime-induced, which is good for so-called recreational influenza. We are more or less all aware of this, because this is the case as soon as we are free and as soon as the stress falls away, we are immediately ill. So typically just catch a cold. If you don't want to start your holiday sick immediately, you should reduce your appointments in advance and reduce the workload instead of increasing it.

2. Plan well

This includes, for example, handovers in the office. Try to share some of your tasks with your colleagues so that the to-do list does not rise infinitely when you come back from your holiday. This includes, for example, giving the apartment key to the neighbors and asking them to water the house plants and empty the letterbox. This also saves you the trouble of returning home to see the completely dried up houseplant and then the stress goes up again immediately.

3. Wallow in anticipation

Anticipation is known to be the best joy. In fact, a study has shown that we are more satisfied before and after the holiday than during the holiday itself. That is to say, this anticipation of the holiday makes us more satisfied, as well as to indulge in pleasant memories afterwards, than the holiday itself. In this respect, take advantage of this time and perhaps support them by buying hiking boots, buying new bathing suits or getting a guide so that you can read yourself in - what's coming your way.

During the holiday

4. Do not build up any leisure time stress

Some people then really demand too much every day on holiday. They put on a huge amount of work, especially if you only have one week on holiday. Then because you get the most out of it, but in your free time you are already under stress again. Recreation takes place by experiencing relaxation and new experiences in equal measure. So strike a good balance between the two.

5. Make compromises

Especially when you travel together with other people, maybe with friends or your own family, there can of course be friction and conflicts. It is therefore very important that we remain flexible and willing to compromise. So when one party wants to go shopping in the shopping mall and the other wants to go to the museum. That there is a compromise. Either the groups split up or do one and then the other. Also families don't necessarily have to do everything together on holiday, but it can really serve to relax and relieve stress, if the children are allowed to go to the beach with the children's club and if the parents are allowed to do a cultural program.

6. Cannot be reached

Some people just can't help but take the service phone with them and they check their e-mails every day, but somehow things are arranged and organized in the office. This is guaranteed to lead to disputes with fellow travellers and is not conducive to relaxation. So it's best to switch off and omit all business mobile phones, tablets and e-mail accounts. You really don't need to do that on holiday - as a rule, the company and its colleagues get along for a few days without you. If it is absolutely unavoidable, then set up fixed times so that you say every evening between 6 p. m. and 7 p. m. or every morning between 11-12 p. m., for example, check your phone calls and e-mails and settle the matter, but the rest of the time it remains taboo.

7. Try something new

Some people think they have to relax and then lie on the beach or in the hammock all day long and do nothing at all. But recovery also comes from experiencing new things. That we break out of our routines and simply conquer unknown things and a new territory. So, for example, that we try out new dishes, perhaps dare a cliff jump into the sea or see new cities and works of art. When we try something new, our well-being hormone dopamine is released, which means that our well-being increases as a result. So it's not only about relaxing on holiday, but also about new impressions and new experiences.

8.Take a positive perspective

If we expect too much and demand too much, then we will certainly be disappointed. For example: because the food in the hotel is not so tasty, because the beach of the hotel is really stony and not sandy, because there are quarrels in the family and it is not this harmonious travel guide's family picture. A holiday doesn't have to be perfect to be good. All these things don't necessarily have to be fulfilled for you to be happy. Whether you are happy or not depends largely on your perspective and much less on the circumstances. That's why you should focus on the positive - e. g. the wonderful sunsets as well as the stony beach.

After your holiday

9. Slow start

Under no circumstances should you make an important appointment on the first day of work, or even make an appointment at all. Start really slow! You should also avoid coming back very late on Sunday evening and you have to go straight to work Monday morning. So if possible come back a few days in advance to give you a few days of buffering time so that you can get back to the right place and wash your laundry and keep the relaxation for a while. The same goes for the office, you don't necessarily have to process all emails on the first working day. This is also a high stress factor for many people that the relaxation is immediately gone from their holiday. Start very slowly and take regular rest periods. Do something good for yourself in the time after that! Then your relaxation will last much longer.

10. Wallowing in memories

Now here comes the point that I mentioned earlier, the joy of rejoicing is a wonderful joy, so to speak. Vacation photos, souvenirs, these can all be wonderful anchors to bring back the positive feelings from your holiday and revive them. For example, take time with your family and your partner and watch the holiday pictures together on the first weekend after your return. You can also frame the most beautiful photos and maybe put something on your desk. Or any holiday souvenirs like seashells from the beach to decorate in a nice feel-good corner at home. In this way you can revive these holiday feelings and keep them alive.

A holiday doesn't have to be perfect to be beautiful.

Dissatisfied with your job: Signs that you have the wrong job

Surveys have shown that nearly every second employee is dissatisfied with his or her job. Nevertheless, a lot of people do not change anything about it, but continue to go to the office every day and do their work by the book. But such behaviour can cause physical illnesses or depression in the long run. There are actually clear warning signs that show you that you should rethink your job situation. Here is a list of signs that you are dissatisfied with your job.

1. You watch the clock in the office all the time

Actually, the job is quite nice and the colleagues are also very friendly. But still, you count the minutes and hours until the end of the day, or maybe the lunch break. Well, where you've finally made it in the first half and then you're on your way. People are constantly looking at the clock to see how long I have to stay here. When can I finally go home for the longed-for evening? If that's how you feel, you might want to ask yourself what's wrong with your job. Do you really care about the tasks you do every day? Or do you feel over- or understretched in your job?

2. You hate montage and love all the more the Fridays or holidays

The weekends are the absolute salvation for you. It's the only time you can really be yourself and enjoy your life. But already on Sunday evening you will feel the inner restlessness and this unease, because Monday puts a threatening thundercloud over you. When you feel that way, think about the facets of your job that burden you so much. Would you rather work part-time? Or do something on your own? Or is it maybe completely the wrong job industry for you?

3. Getting up early in the morning is a torture for you

Depending on the job you do, it can of course be difficult to get up, because you may have to get up early. But most of the time we get used to it. If we like our job we have a certain motivation to get up in the morning, so we get up early and start the day in a good mood. But if every time it's a single fight for you in the morning and you have this alarm clock on your head and you want to throw it out of the window, the right mood sinks into the basement. Then maybe it is time to rethink what is not exactly right. Whether you're having fun or enjoyment in your work.

4. You're on duty by the book

In your job, you do everything you're asked to do. But you really only do what you are asked to do, i. e. self-initiative is a complete failure. You have no motivation, no desire, no ideas to get involved. Because every hour more is hateful to you, because it separates you from what you actually want to do. If you do something you like, you can spend hours of time doing it. Then you don't mind if you are one or two hours longer in the day. And then you have a lot of ideas and motivation to promote and make a difference.

5. You don't get along with your colleagues

Maybe he's being blasphemed and talked at work behind your back. Or maybe some rumors are being spread. Maybe there are problems with project assignments because certain employees don't want to work with you. Perhaps you have already raised this problem and tried to talk to the respective colleagues, but it did not work. Bullying in the workplace is a serious problem. It can make your working life miserable and cause severe psychological damage. If talking to colleagues doesn't help, contact your supervisor for help. Maybe at the works council or outside counsel's support from a lawyer or another person who will assist you. Think about what your behavior might have something to do with you. Why you're in this situation right now. And above all, things don't just swallow it and don't remain passive in this situation, but change it actively.

6. Your boss knows everything better

Does your boss often iron your suggestions. Correct me constantly or criticize you openly or behave unfairly towards you. If most of the day we are busy with something that others only criticize and badly talk about all the time, then of course frustration comes up very quickly. Because you spend hour after hour in this office to increase the income your bosses took. But you don't get any thanks or appreciation for it, but nothing more than scorn, sport and criticism. You may be financially dependent on your work, but even if this is the case, think about what kind of job you want to do.

7. You have already thought of announcement several times

If you often think about how to bang your boss's resignation on the table, say goodbye to your colleagues at work. Finally out of this office once and for all, without going back into that building again, and it's filled up great. Then it is a clear indication that you are satisfied with your current job. And surely what holds you back are your doubts, fears and worries. Because you think what else am I supposed to find or how else am I supposed to make money? But there's always a solution and you shouldn't let that hold you back when you're so bad at work. Stop complaining and look for possibilities, search for your personal solution.

8. You consider your salary as compensation for pain and suffering

This is often said in jest, but behind this joke there is often a little truth. If you have the impression that you've earned this money, please, all the suffering you've suffered at work, then this is also a clear warning sign. Of course, the moment you get your salary transferred to your account, you feel fine and you think it's a compensation for the pain you have to endure. But I ask you, how long does this feeling last? And wouldn't it be possible for you to get money for it, have fun doing it and have a lot of fun and interest in a job?

9. You are exhausted after work

Finally the longed-for end of work is here, but all you can do is bang on the sofa and call the delivery service and turn on the TV. It is absolutely no energy and motivation to do things that give you pleasure. Maybe meeting your friends or pursuing a hobby. If we spend 8 hours or more at a job that makes absolutely no sense to us. The one who overloads or underloads us and who just sucks us out, then we have no more energy to do anything after that. Because we're just gonna get shut down and left alone.

10. You have trouble sleeping and you dream (bad) of work

If your work follows you in your dreams at night, this is also a clear indication that you are extremely burdened by this situation. And that you're dissatisfied with the situation. Don't ignore the signals but let them be a clear indication that you should rethink your work situation.

11. You need to rest from work on holiday

In a way, we all want to relax on holiday. But if you notice that you can't switch off at all, that the work, strains and strains will haunt you for a very long time. Or that even after a two or even three weeks you return home from your holiday and realize that it wasn't enough to really recover and get rid of these strains. Then you may have the wrong job!

12. You have already been taken ill for no good reason.

Surely we all need a certain amount of rest or recreation. But if you've asked your family doctor about sick leave quite often and repeatedly, even though you didn't have anything. Except the one thing I don't want to have to go back to the office tomorrow. Then listen:"You don't like your job! You don't like the situation!"

You don't have to endure the intolerable state and you shouldn't, because it leads to the fact that we become more and more passive and become more and more dissatisfied and then actually develop mental and physical illnesses. Everyone can become happy, both professionally and privately. Besides, there's always a solution and a way out. If you are satisfied with your job and if you can't stand your current job situation and it gets you down: look for solutions, for alternatives, become active and change something about it. Take self-confidently your (professional) life in your hand!

Do I have a burnout? That's how you can tell the symptoms

What is burnout syndrome and how does it occur? Here you can find out what a typical course of burnout can look like and what symptoms there are for burnout.

By burnout we mean the total burnout. Burnout sufferers experience complete mental, emotional and physical exhaustion. To the point where really nothing goes at all. Burnout is caused by stress and develops over the years. So just having such a stressful situation or having a few weeks of stress does not cause a burnout.

But it's a chronic overload in life management, so if you feel like you can't cope with anything, everything is getting out of hand and you don't have the necessary resources to cope with it. In the past, it was said that people in the care professions in particular develop burnout or are at risk of developing burnout. Then, for many years, it was considered a managerial illness and a problem for those who have a lot of responsibility in life. But you can't say that anymore.

Today, it has become a problem for society as a whole that appears in all occupational groups and age groups. This applies especially to people who have extremely high demands on themselves. And at the same time, they do not properly perceive their needs or tend to ignore or suppress them.

The triggers can be manifold, for example too many obligations, conflicts, friction, lack of recognition or the desire to prove something to others or to yourself. You rework yourself, but instead of shifting down a gear, you focus more and more on this one thing you want to achieve and you're squeezing it all your life. Social contacts are then also neglected and physical discomfort that occurs frequently is simply ignored. It's all pushed aside to make this one thing.

Sooner or later, one loses access to oneself and only works. Those affected always say that they have gone through life or everyday life like on autopilot. Just a few moments ago, we only worked and did not even perceive other things and did not allow others to work at all. Then, at some point, there is also the point where you don't want to feel anything anymore, and those affected often become dependent.
