13 Ways To Get Motivated After Post-Holiday Blues (2 of 3)

Set Some Time Outside Of The Office

While the holiday break is over, that doesn’t mean you need to be sinking back to your routine all over again. Take this time now to remind yourself that your time outside of the office is important too.

Of course you still got work to do, but there is still time during the day to do other things. Taking the opportunity to do other activities can help you in energizing yourself.

Count On Your Support System

Remember you are not alone in this. You don’t have to be suffering in silence. If things are bad, don’t be afraid to call up friends or family during this time. These are people who give you some social connectivity and belonging. Not only that, but they are also healthy sources if you want to talk to someone.

Focus On The Growth

It’s easy to sink back into the idea of returning to work and getting down about that. Whatever you think of your job is up to you, but I encourage you to focus on the positive aspects over the negatives. See your return to work as another year of employment and growth for yourself in life.

When you are positive about what you are doing, the more likely you’ll get more things done better.

Showing Kindness To Yourself

There is no point in beating yourself up over mistakes or when you are feeling down. Often times, those venting methods are more destructive than helpful. Instead, stop yourself and show more kindness to yourself.

Train yourself to be a positive self-talker. How you can do that is show more gratitude and consider practicing affirmations.
