Holidays always bring about that promise of relief and relaxation that we dream of all year round. But do we actually get rest ? The truth is that more and more people are coming back from holiday with a sense of exhaustion.
Long trips with children, consecutive all-nighters, mismatched sleep schedules and the varied activities we engage in throughout the day leave us even more tired than any regular week of arduous work. Many have started calling it holiday burnout.
Why does this happen?
There are multiple reasons and most are related to the demands of today's lifestyles, where time is short for everything especially what friends, family, trends and, very importantly, what our own expectations of what a dream holiday should be, ask of us. Realizing that we are often the ones sabotaging the rest and relaxation is the first step to addressing the issue.
Searching for lost energy
If you find it difficult to find the time to sit down and do literally nothing, know that this may be the very source of the problem. It is essential to pause, to take time to reconnect with your inner self and find harmony. Take care of yourself, body and mind. And the good news is that the solution may be simpler than you think.
